Hello, I'm Loafiewa. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Type 100 submachine gun, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Loafiewa (talk) 20:29, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I just had trouble citing my source. If your wondering my source is this: Jowett, Philip S. (2002). Japanese Army 1931-1945, Part 1. Men-at-Arms. 362. Osprey Publishing. p. 40. ISBN 1-84176-353-5. Salfanto (talk) 13:34, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Tsing Dao Submachine Gun

Hello, Salfanto. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Tsing Dao Submachine Gun, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 03:02, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Tsing Dao Submachine Gun

Hello, Salfanto. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Tsing Dao Submachine Gun".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^Read! Talk! 02:47, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Prolog (talk) 20:51, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

General sanctions

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in Russo-Ukrainian war. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Please note that only extended-confirmed users are allowed to make edits related to the Russo-Ukrainian War (WP:GS/RUSUKR). Additionally, your source failed verification. Sources need to directly support the content being added. Prolog (talk) 20:51, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May 2023

Please do not add or change content, as you did at OTs-12 Tiss, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Loafiewa (talk) 17:14, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure why you'd say that, seeing as you just made a string of unsourced edits. Verifiability is a core content policy - if you are going to add content, it is expected that you also add reliable sources to corroborate it. Loafiewa (talk) 20:14, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

7th Battalion Arei

Hello, 7th Battalion Arei is part of the 253rd Defense Battalion of the 129th Brigade. Its not a separate unit. It was before it joined with the brigade. They use the term battalion, but its strength is unknown. It also makes it strange to have a battalion within a battalion. Most likely they have more freedom, but are administratively attached to 253rd. Your addition to the article should be worded better a little to avoid confusion. Thank you for adding references and improving article. Ceriy (talk) 15:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Type 26 revolver has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from War crimes in the Russian invasion of Ukraine into Georgian Legion (Ukraine). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:04, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Ill be sure to do that with future edits that require copying Salfanto (talk) 00:48, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Great emblem of the 25th Combined Arms Army.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:24, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

November 2023

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at M1 carbine. You have been told about the verifiability policy plenty of times now. Continuing to add unsourced claims, conjecture, and OR as you have done at this point can only be viewed as disruption. Loafiewa (talk) 17:45, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The line "On 26 October 1944, in response to the Germans' widespread use of automatic weapons, especially the Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifle, the select-fire M2 carbine was introduced, along with a new 30-round magazine." is taken from the "Selective-fire version" on the M1 carbine article which someone else had added. I added it to the M2 section to try and help give context. I hope that clears things up Salfanto (talk) 17:53, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not really, verifiability is not conditional, see WP:BURDEN. Loafiewa (talk) 21:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as ETVS submachine gun. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 04:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 60 hours for the persistent addition of unsourced content. This addition is especially egregious, since the edit summary reads added sources, yet no sources (WP:RS) were added whatsoever. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  El_C 01:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have already recieved a block for adding unsourced content to articles, yet you are repeatedly continuing to do so, specifically claims about military units partaking in battles without support from the article itself or from an added source last seen here, this is disruptive, especially since you are doing it within a contentious topic, WP:CT/EE. Pinging @El C for awareness since the block was issued by said administrator. TylerBurden (talk) 20:07, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Salfanto. Thank you for your work on Eagle 7 (tank). Klbrain, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

The tank battle is already covered in some detail in Battle of Cologne (1945)#Battle, which raises the question of whether a merge there might help to consolidate the material. That might be better for readers, although I agree that the belated award of the Bronze Star to the crew might read awkwardly there.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

WP:DAILYKOS

Hi!

You may not be aware that there’s a global consensus that Daily Kos should generally be avoided as a source, especially for controversial political topics where better sources are available. As an activism blog that publishes user-generated content with a progressive point of view, many editors consider Daily Kos to inappropriately blur news reporting and opinion.

Regardless, please don’t add it to CTOP articles as you did here and especially don’t mark it as minor.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;

Regarding Battle of Batoche caualties.

I undid your revision because Middleton's casualty report of 51 deaths plus casalties had been provided to him by the Catholic Mission which Father Vegreville later corrected to 16 deaths plus casualties.

Your quote; "After the Battle of Batoche, Frederick Dobson Middleton, reported 51 deaths and 173 wounded on the Métis side. However, Father Vegreville's report was different, he reported 16 Métis killed and between 20 and 30 wounded. This is what changes the casualty range". 2kayoty (talk) 16:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of List of Poles killed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine

The article List of Poles killed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTMEMORIAL, that Poles have been killed (and their number) can be mentioned on a general page about the role of Poland in the event, but a list of the individuals that died is no more warranted than lists of people who died in airplane crashes (or e.g. WWII).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Glory to the Republic

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 Glory to the Republic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthem of the People's Republic of Donetsk. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

May 2024 - unreliable sources

Greetings! Please don't add unreliable sources to wikipedia articles, as you did for example here [1] [2] [3] . RIA and dan-news are not reliable. Thanks! ManyAreasExpert (talk) 13:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But isn't the Kyiv Post, the source that I used for the oath, considered reliable? Salfanto (talk) 13:21, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KyivPost is reliable. But this particular addition [4] has little encyclopedic value. We can use the source to add context and expert views and conclusions however. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 13:25, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I used it to add context since numerous sources mention the oath Salfanto (talk) 13:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Salfanto! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When adding references, as you did in the Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (1 April 2024 – present), please remember that adding bare URLs as references is not ideal, and it exposes the reference to link rot. Citation templates, including details such as title, author, date, or any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation, are preferred. You could also check out referencing for beginners for further information or help.

For any bare URL references you've already added, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically.

Thanks! – Primium (talk) 00:36, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (1 April 2024 – present)! However, adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles. – Primium (talk) 16:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So I can copy that code and then put the source in it? Salfanto (talk) 16:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you can. Just be sure replace the title, publisher, and other information according to your source.

But honestly, the easier option is to just click  Cite and then Templates  in the editor toolbar, and select an option (probably "cite web"):

It will show a small window with inputs, including a "URL" field. You can usually enter the URL and click the magnifying glass to automatically get the information. Hope that helps! – Primium (talk) 23:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

May 2024 - adding text not supported by sources

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Bogdan Khmelnitsky Battalion, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Greetings, please don't add text not supported by sources, as you did in your edit. "pro-Russian Ukrainian citizens" is not in source. Also your sources are not related to the article.

The title says Russia 'sends captured Ukrainian fighters to battle Kyiv’s troops', note the quotes. Further in the body it says "Russia is dispatching Ukrainian prisoners of war to the front to fight on Moscow’s side, it has been alleged", with the latter already been reported in the article: It was reported that after taking an oath, the battalion was deployed to an unspecified part of the frontline.[15][16][17]

@Doug Weller I completely understand that, real life should always come before Wikipedia, this is volunteer "work" after all. The war is also part of WP:CT/EE though, so this editor has a tendency of making these policy violations in a CT topic as well. I didn't mean to pressure you, so take the time you need to make the right decision if you'd like to make the call that is. Otherwise I will simply raise it on the board.

@Salfanto But we are biased quite often - pro evolution and anti-Creationism for instance. Please read WP:NPOV. That is because the weight of reliably published sources is on one side of the scale and the scale often weighs more on one side than another. We don't aim to be neutral in the normal sense of the word.

I'll try to spend more time on this tomorrow Salfanto and look at your edits to decide if I should be taking any Administrative action. Doug Weller talk 15:07, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TylerBurden Please do raise it, I may comment there. Sorry. Doug Weller talk 14:17, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since Salfonto is continuing to edit within contentious topics, I'll give them one more chance to explain their blatant WP:NPOV violation on the May 2024 Belgorod missile strike article, the silence on that one is rather deafening. If they don't offer a valid explanation for it I'll take the time and create the report. So Salfonto, do you mind explaining? TylerBurden (talk) 19:26, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for creation of Ukrainian Air Force template

Hi @Salfanto,

I notice that you have worked on quite a few articles about military-related pages, especially the Ukrainian military, and I thank you for your work. Since Ukraine should be getting F-16s soon (fingers crossed), I expect the Ukrainian Air Force to play a greater role in the war in the coming months. I was somewhat surprised to find that Template:Ukrainian Air Force [uk] doesn't yet exist, and think that it would be appropriate to be added onto Wikipedia to help readers understand about this topic. Thanks again for your work on Wikipedia, and Slava Ukraini!

Indefinite block

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent addition of unsourced content, still and to an acute degree. I'm sorry, but the report at WP:AE (permalink) show that you still struggle with sourcing to an unacceptable degree. Therefore, the burden is now on you to demonstrate you've taken the time to review the Reliable Sources guidelines (WP:RS) so as to able to meet its requirements. Consult the Guide to appealing block (WP:GAB) on how to construct such an appeal. If you choose to go through with this process, I'd advise you to take your time with it and double and even triple check it is up to par. Thank you.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  El_C 12:05, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

---

Request reason:

My reasons as to why I would like to be unblocked. I have made it into a numbered list: 1. I have learned better sourcing techniques.
2. I have created numerous articles that have been beneficial to wikipedia and wish to continue to do so in the future.
3. I have been requested by another editor to create an english version Template:Ukrainian Air Force [[[:uk:Шаблон:Повітряні сили ЗСУ|uk]]] and I intend to complete that request.
4. I feel like some parts of the reason for my ban were due to the bias of other editors. An example of this was an edit I made on the page Human wave attack dated 15 May 2024 when I added sources from Politico, Euromaidan Press, Forbes, and TASS, all of which are not on the Wikipedia:Deprecated sources list. I also added an image of French colonial troops using the tactic because I wanted to give a visual to the reader of the article. However another editor removed both my edits and another editor's edits claiming WP:DUE and WP:SYNTH despite Politico and Forbes articles being used as souring in other sections of the article prior to my edit. 5. I want to help people. That is why I became an editor in the first place. I have made mistakes in the past and I am not perfect but like other people I can't learn without making mistakes from time to time.

Decline reason:

Block evasion. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Salfanto. Bbb23 (talk) 12:41, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

If a reviewing admin considers unblocking, please post a notice to that effect on my talk page as I may not have access to see pings (but please also ping), but can check my talk page at least daily. For the record, I object to any unblock as I find the above appeal wholly insufficient.

I find it rushed, and tangential and tendentious, and unsubstantive and unresponsive. I get the sense that they did not review WP:GAB closely, considering the WP:NOTTHEM issues in their I feel like some parts of the reason for my ban were due to the bias of other editors. It may well be so, but not meaningfully enough to offset anything, so it serves as a poor mitigating factor.

Because the (understated) "mistakes" —which if I didn't suspect a language barrier, come across as deceptive outright—are considerable. Same as with my previous block back in Feb for similar reasons. Serious mistakes which the approach above, I argue, fails to seriously account for. Failing to take due accountability as well as provide convincing assurances for the future. El_C 15:54, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the mistakes that I made. Hence why I wish to acknowledge my mistakes and learn from them. Salfanto (talk) 16:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Too unsubstative, still. Simply saying that you understand does not make it so. To me, it comes across as unconvincing and unserious, sorry. El_C 16:59, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can I add more context? For example: why I think my mistakes were bad, what I learned from them, how I will avoid making them in the future Salfanto (talk) 18:19, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
