Speedy deletion nomination of Novgorodian Rus'

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Novgorodian Rus', requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another Wikimedia project, or was transwikied out to another project. Please see Wikipedia:Translation to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. trunks_ishida (talk) 06:02, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Kievan Rus'

Please cite a reliable source for your revision to the Kievan Rus' article, for it contradicts the text and sources cited in the article. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 18:29, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

As per Lazlo Panaflex. This is the second instance of the same radical content change in as many days without citing references. It appears that your interest in contributing to this article takes place on an annual basis: here, here and the most recent changes. If you have reliable and verifiable information pertaining to the subject, you might consider bringing it up on the relevant talk page. If not, please abstain from adding or changing content as escalation to edit warring doesn't serve the interests of the article. Thank you for your consideration. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:22, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

What's the deal with this?

Regarding this edit, I don't agree, so please engage here: Talk:Russian America#What the heck? Herostratus (talk) 03:51, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

March 2014

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Lyubsha, without providing a source and without establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive.
Please note, also, that blanking cited content and overwriting it with tracts of unsourced material (which appears to be original research is unacceptable. Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:19, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Lyubsha, you may be blocked from editing.
You have been blanking cite checked sources and adding original research. The Ladoga Museum entry you've cited doesn't support your tendentious edits. Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Donetsk People's Republic (Russia)

Hello, Zemant,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Hey man im josh and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Donetsk People's Republic (Russia), for deletion, because a consensus decision previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use the deletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Hey man im josh}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
