User talk:Alex Bakharev/Archive30A questionHello Alex Bakharev! I have a question. My Russian ain't that top notch these days I can self-admit, but I feel like someone is playing with us. I couldn't find it in his given "link", but perhaps you can? According this certain user (who's willing to war about it) this piece of information "should confirm" this content he added in front of it; "Some cession treaties were signed by individual Azeri khans, such as Ibrahim Khalil Khan (Treaty of Kurakchay), Huseyngulu Khan who ceded Baku Khanate and Mustafa Khan who ceded Shirvan Khanate." I think he's frauding with us, as I couldn't find anything in it that stipulated that this happened. Funnily enough (and much to the pain of such nationalists), I did find this information;
Am I correct with both my findings here? Regarding the unsourced addition of that material an this quote I added here above? I had Suvorov on my watchlist, and saw that you edited it not that long ago, so I wondered whether you could help me out with this one. I hope this wasn't too much asked from you, btw. :-) Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 02:55, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
I guess that on top with the treaty with Persian Pasha, the Tsar and his government negotiated with individual khans sometimes ending up with a formal agreements, sometimes with an informal agreements that the khan would swear allegiance to Russia and in exchange would get some position within the Empire and/or gifts. Obviously those negotiations would only make sense if Persia would not be able to stop the power transfer. The last but not least the documents related to the khans are of 1805 and the Treaty of Gulistan is signed in 1813. There events are 8 years apart. Alex Bakharev (talk)

Legal threatHello, I'm asking your advice/action with regards to the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ramil_Garifullin. I believe that among other things, this statement Ramil Garifullin told me that if would be continued against him as slander in the discussion of Wikipedia, he is libel to sue against Fedor Babkin. is a clear violation of WP:NLT. Since the contributions of Irek Minnullin are exclusively related to the promotion of Ramil Garifullin, I'm asking you to block him permanently.

After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 11 March 2016. Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Nadiya SavchenkoHello, I don't understand why describing the Aidar Battalion as extreme-right wing in this article is an issue. The links are well established: just look at the references in its wiki page. While I understand your argument that a military formation is not right or left (although the Waffen-SS are a counter-example), in this particular case it is not valid since the Aidar battalion was not a military structure at that time. It was a unit of volunteers paid by an oligarch. Why would we conceal this (maybe unpleasant) piece of information to the readers?
Dear Alex,Dear Alex, thank you for your answer and suggestions. I have edited the article and inserted references as it should be according to Wikipedia rules. Wikipedia team has also contacted me on this matter and explained that i should insert links another way. Again thank you for you help. Sincerely, Giorgi.

Ramzan KadyrovHello, I'd like to talk to you regarding the reversion of my edit to the page Ramzan Kadyrov, specifically my removal of the honor killings section and your subsequent re-addition. To begin, my original intent was to remove the information, as it was only supported by a broken link. However, it seems you have rectified this in fixing the link and routing it to the original article; however, in this, another issue with the information has arisen. The article itself, in fact, does not quote President Kadyrov saying that he believes women to be property of their husbands, but this is rather a conclusion reached by the author. At best, in this case, it should be stated instead that it is 'alleged he views women as property...', or 'some sources have suggested that he views women as property...'. My main concern is, that as it is, this information has been used to slander Mr. Kadyrov in otherwise intellectual debates, and while it can be easily pointed out that this is based on opinion, not a quoted fact, it can be easily dismissed, in upholding the information, it makes us appear somewhat biased against him. I don't know if you would take issue with this, but I believe I have a strong case for, at least, altering what is said. That said, I wanted to consult with you, as the one who reverted my first attempt at this, in hopes of avoiding potential edit warring. Would you agree?

Gratitude and a questionI'd like to thank you for creating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evsei_Vainrub back in 2007, as he happens to be my great-grandfather (the father of the father of my mother) and I was very happy to find that he did have a Wikipedia page- I was wondering, did you know him personally, or find some source on him? I also noticed that neither his Russian nor English articles mentioned anything about his family. Because of this, I am hesitant to start editing it, as I am afraid that people might not think my claim of ancestry is enough. In addition, what would I cite as my sources for these edits? Thank you!

I am currently looking to expand and improve this article, in no small part to removing Baddeley, a journalist and not a reliable source. I found this book, which gives the impression that Sheikh Mansur's rebellion was in and of itself a separate conflict from the Russo-Turkish War (1787-92). In this book page22, states the Russian High Command had made no plans for the Caucasus during the 1787 war. In your opinion, of what you know and/or can find, should Mansur's rebellion and the Russian response(s) be separate from the 1787 war or included?

Extended confirmed protectionHello, Alex Bakharev. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. The Signpost: 29 September 2016

Asian 10,000 Challenge inviteHi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right. It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best. If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR.

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted. Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review. It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Replaceable fair use File:Kublanov 3-LEV.jpgThanks for uploading File:Kublanov 3-LEV.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject). If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:10, 8 August 2017 (UTC) A cup of coffee for you!

As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

According to Norman Davies Babel's book is fiction and in this case I found information on Russin wiki that contradicts account of Babel. The name of the person was apparently different.

ArbCom 2019 special circular
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:26, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community. Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
