Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014–15 KHL season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mikhail Varnakov. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A tag has been placed on Ostrogoth (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

Country names shouldn't be linked unless they are likely to be misunderstood, confused with another country or unknown to the average reader. Therefore many defunct countries are linked. Hungary and Poland are not defunct countries – you're talking about official names, names by which no average person called these countries, and these names are not relevant to articles about racing drivers. In the 80s, 99.9% of English speakers referred to Hungary and Poland as Hungary and Poland, and we stick to common names outside articles where these formal titles are relevant. For the same reasons, in the Schumacher article for example, we refer to West Germany, and not the Federal Republic of Germany. Cheers, Bretonbanquet ( talk) 17:03, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

I'm sure you mean well, but just so you know, this is not vandalism. In New York City we often treat the borough as if it were a city, and indeed this is how they are referred to by mailing address. E.g. your address would 123 Main St, Brooklyn, NY, not New York, NY. Other articles also seem to follow the same pattern, such as Barclays Center (Brooklyn), or Flushing Meadows–Corona Park (Queens). We should probably take to the talk page to discuss this further, but I just wanted to ask you to be more careful about labeling edits as vandalism, as it can be a deterrent to new users. At the very least, try to assume good faith. Best — MusikAnimal talk 01:31, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as
vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can
discourage editors. Please read
Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you.

DegenFarang has been banned many times for tendentious editing and for sockpuppetry. He has also made threats against other editors. He is not a genuine editor but rather more of a Wiki arsonist.

Hello. You recently undid the NJ Devils roster saying that Danis & Gragnani were assigned to Albany with a link from the AHL. The link itself just mentions that both players were signed to 2-way contract for this season. I can say that they both are playing in NJ with these links from the website: Danis & Gragnani as well as the Albany Devils website: Danis & Gragnani. Again all five just state that both players were signed, but there is nothing to say that were assigned to Albany.
I have always placed 2-way players on the NHL & AHL rosters. Training camp is in September so no assignments have been made. Thank you. Raul17 ( talk) 19:20, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I saw that you added Divisions and regular season format to 2015–16 KHL season. However, if look here you can see that: As before, the Championship will comprise two stages. In the first stage, the regular season, each team will play every other team, once at home and once on the road, giving a total of 54 games (27 at home and 27 on the road), plus 6 additional games (3 at home, and 3 on the road) to be played by each team against rival clubs from its own conference. Thus, each team will play a total of 60 games in the regular season. Not as previous season. Regards RefDr ( talk) 19:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

I know what you're saying, but his number is definitely 21. The 21st start date is, if anything, just a publicity stunt (while they sort out his work permit) to tie in with the number he's worn for club and country for ages, and which NYCFC seem pretty determined to give him for them, too.

Hi, Sabbatino, I happen to have the Washington Capitals page on my watchlist, and I noticed this edit. What you reverted there wasn't vandalism; changing the capitalization of the team colors might not be the most productive edit in the world, but it is far from vandalism. Vandalism implies a deliberate intent to damage the wiki, and I can't see how one could infer malice from a change to the capitalization of colors (though I agree that they're better off uncapitalized). I see you reverted a similar edit by the same IP here, also labeling it vandalism. Please don't label things vandalism that aren't. The difference isn't just semantic; reversion of vandalism is exempt from many of the normal rules of editing (such as the prohibition on edit warring), so mislabeled vandalism can lead to actual problems. It can also alienate good-faith editors when they see that others consider their edits malicious. Not the hugest of deals, but please keep it in mind for the future, okay?

Because AIV isn't meant for discussion, I'm bringing this here. Vandalism reported at AIV should be obvious, which means (in part) that a patrolling admin shouldn't have to ask questions to figure out whether or not it's appropriate editing behavior. Which type of vandalism fits this user's edits? They appear, on the surface, to be legitimate attempts to improve the encyclopedia. If they aren't, then he should be reported -- but not at AIV, because the format of that board is only intended for cases where there can be no possible defense and no need for discussion. – Darkwind ( talk) 05:47, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Sveikas, pastebėjau keiti krepšinio komandų straipsnių spalvas, aš keičiu jas į pvz. balta-žalia-žalia, nes balti rėmai fone nesimato, todėl užrašas atrodo mažesnis (nesiderina su kitom komandom, kurios turi trispalvius) ir ištrynus Colour3 eilutę, rėmeliai ir taip pasidaro balti. Be to, aš derinu su Basketball colors duomenų baze (spalvomis, kurias rodo žaidėjų puslapiuose), aišku galima sakyti čia skonio reikalas, bet manau, kad mano variantas atrodo daug stilingiau.

Hello User:Sabbatino, I was just curious as to how I reach a consensus? The home city location for the Barclays Center (the home arena for the NHL's New York Islanders) is listed as 620 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11217, per the Islanders' Contact Us page. IMO, I believe that Wikipedia should list the home city location for all sports teams based on the physical address of a specific team's home arena/stadium.

I'm not sure where you got that idea, but I follow several European teams and one in particular, Bayern Munich, was so far in front of the rest of the first division for the last two years that they were awarded the league title more than six games before the season ended and it was on their season and club pages as soon as it happened.

It's kind of a minor issue, but coding of [[Houston, Texas]] isn't a "SEAOFBLUE" issue. WP:SEAOFBLUE is specifically about multiple links clumped together (like [[Houston, Texas|Houston]], [[Texas]] or [[Houston]], [[Texas]]). It's acceptable to just let the redirect "Houston, Texas" per WP:NOTBROKEN, which advises to essentially let a redirect "do its job." Usually [[Houston|Houston, Texas]] would be seen as an unnecessary DAB, but I don't personally care either way. But changing [[Houston, Texas]] to [[Houston|Houston, Texas]] is not addressing SEAOFBLUE at all. Rikster2 ( talk) 16:43, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Are you an authority on the band RATT? The members you keep listing as current members are not, in fact, current members. Maybe you are not aware that Joshua Alan, Bobby Blotzer, Blaze, Scott Griffin, and Michael "Doc" Ellis are the current members of the band, and have already performed a show under such name, with more scheduled in the future.

Thanks for your recent change to the New York Knicks to restore the standard eight-digit XXXX-XXXX year range format for NBA articles. However, it's a bit harsh to write that it's "disruptive" in the edit summary. In the future, consider pointing the editor to the manual of style on their talk page, specifically WP:DATERANGE in this case. You could alternatively use a template like {{ uw-mos1}}.

Hi. My sources aren't more dubious than the Ilustrowany atlas historii Polski, wyd. Demart, Warszawa 2006 who confuses "wassal state" with "fief" and anticipes "hospodar" for a century. About your "millions of grammatical mistakes", into the "Two nations", the names are in their POLISH form as in the polish map (this names were in use in this times). Into Hungary, in their magyar form. Into the baltic area, in their baltic form. Into Transylvania (under the Magyar names), Moldavia & Wallachia (upper the polish names), in their romanian form (transcripted from the romanian medieval specific cyrillic script). Into the Crimean khanate, into their turkic form, transcritped from the arab script. All this (included the transcription rules) are known by the historians of this area. You can verify all this, but perhaps it's easier and shorter to revert my work and to prefer, for Wikipedia, a map who represents Bialgorod & Akkerman as two different cities, and who anticipes Akkerman (appeared after 1484 - ottoman conquest) and Hospodar (appeared after 1500). My english is rocky but I make the effort to speak it, et toi, tu peux faire l'effort de t'exprimer en français ? Ca m'étonnerait.

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as
vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can
discourage editors. Please read
Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you.

Hi Sabbatino. I haven't followed your interactions with Handpolk, but I wanted to warn you that he is 99% likely a sockpuppet of banned User:DegenFarang. DegenFarang has been banned many times for tendentious editing and for sockpuppetry. He has also made threats against other editors. He is not a genuine editor but rather more of a Wiki arsonist.

Hello. You recently undid the NJ Devils roster saying that Danis & Gragnani were assigned to Albany with a link from the AHL. The link itself just mentions that both players were signed to 2-way contract for this season. I can say that they both are playing in NJ with these links from the website: Danis & Gragnani as well as the Albany Devils website: Danis & Gragnani. Again all five just state that both players were signed, but there is nothing to say that were assigned to Albany.
I have always placed 2-way players on the NHL & AHL rosters. Training camp is in September so no assignments have been made. Thank you. Raul17 ( talk) 19:20, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I saw that you added Divisions and regular season format to 2015–16 KHL season. However, if look here you can see that: As before, the Championship will comprise two stages. In the first stage, the regular season, each team will play every other team, once at home and once on the road, giving a total of 54 games (27 at home and 27 on the road), plus 6 additional games (3 at home, and 3 on the road) to be played by each team against rival clubs from its own conference. Thus, each team will play a total of 60 games in the regular season. Not as previous season. Regards RefDr ( talk) 19:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

I know what you're saying, but his number is definitely 21. The 21st start date is, if anything, just a publicity stunt (while they sort out his work permit) to tie in with the number he's worn for club and country for ages, and which NYCFC seem pretty determined to give him for them, too.

It's a known fact that the Blazers are the only major league sports franchise in Portland, as MLS (the home of the Portland Timbers), is not yet considered a major league sport. If you were referring to the situation with the team exec, why did you remove that note?

Hi, Sabbatino, I happen to have the Washington Capitals page on my watchlist, and I noticed this edit. What you reverted there wasn't vandalism; changing the capitalization of the team colors might not be the most productive edit in the world, but it is far from vandalism. Vandalism implies a deliberate intent to damage the wiki, and I can't see how one could infer malice from a change to the capitalization of colors (though I agree that they're better off uncapitalized). I see you reverted a similar edit by the same IP here, also labeling it vandalism. Please don't label things vandalism that aren't. The difference isn't just semantic; reversion of vandalism is exempt from many of the normal rules of editing (such as the prohibition on edit warring), so mislabeled vandalism can lead to actual problems. It can also alienate good-faith editors when they see that others consider their edits malicious. Not the hugest of deals, but please keep it in mind for the future, okay?

Because AIV isn't meant for discussion, I'm bringing this here. Vandalism reported at AIV should be obvious, which means (in part) that a patrolling admin shouldn't have to ask questions to figure out whether or not it's appropriate editing behavior. Which type of vandalism fits this user's edits? They appear, on the surface, to be legitimate attempts to improve the encyclopedia. If they aren't, then he should be reported -- but not at AIV, because the format of that board is only intended for cases where there can be no possible defense and no need for discussion. – Darkwind ( talk) 05:47, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Sveikas, pastebėjau keiti krepšinio komandų straipsnių spalvas, aš keičiu jas į pvz. balta-žalia-žalia, nes balti rėmai fone nesimato, todėl užrašas atrodo mažesnis (nesiderina su kitom komandom, kurios turi trispalvius) ir ištrynus Colour3 eilutę, rėmeliai ir taip pasidaro balti. Be to, aš derinu su Basketball colors duomenų baze (spalvomis, kurias rodo žaidėjų puslapiuose), aišku galima sakyti čia skonio reikalas, bet manau, kad mano variantas atrodo daug stilingiau. Tikiuosi galim susitart kaip daryt, gal įtikinau, o gal tu priversi mane persigalvot. :)

Hello User:Sabbatino, I was just curious as to how I reach a consensus? The home city location for the Barclays Center (the home arena for the NHL's New York Islanders) is listed as 620 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11217, per the Islanders' Contact Us page. IMO, I believe that Wikipedia should list the home city location for all sports teams based on the physical address of a specific team's home arena/stadium. How do you propose I reach consensus with other editors? Charlesaaronthompson ( talk) 19:38, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure where you got that idea, but I follow several European teams and one in particular, Bayern Munich, was so far in front of the rest of the first division for the last two years that they were awarded the league title more than six games before the season ended and it was on their season and club pages as soon as it happened.

It's kind of a minor issue, but coding of [[Houston, Texas]] isn't a "SEAOFBLUE" issue. WP:SEAOFBLUE is specifically about multiple links clumped together (like [[Houston, Texas|Houston]], [[Texas]] or [[Houston]], [[Texas]]). It's acceptable to just let the redirect "Houston, Texas" per WP:NOTBROKEN, which advises to essentially let a redirect "do its job." Usually [[Houston|Houston, Texas]] would be seen as an unnecessary DAB, but I don't personally care either way. But changing [[Houston, Texas]] to [[Houston|Houston, Texas]] is not addressing SEAOFBLUE at all. Rikster2 ( talk) 16:43, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Slash, Kings of Chaos and Walking Papers. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Are you an authority on the band RATT? The members you keep listing as current members are not, in fact, current members. Maybe you are not aware that Joshua Alan, Bobby Blotzer, Blaze, Scott Griffin, and Michael "Doc" Ellis are the current members of the band, and have already performed a show under such name, with more scheduled in the future. Until the courts say otherwise, this is the current line up of RATT, and they will continue to perform under the name RATT until such time as the courts say they cannot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qnsryker ( talk • contribs) 03:53, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your recent change to the New York Knicks to restore the standard eight-digit XXXX-XXXX year range format for NBA articles. However, it's a bit harsh to write that it's "disruptive" in the edit summary. In the future, consider pointing the editor to the manual of style on their talk page, specifically WP:DATERANGE in this case. You could alternatively use a template like {{ uw-mos1}}. Don't worry, I've already informed the other editor. Thanks for your edits on NBA articles.— Bagumba ( talk) 22:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. My sources aren't more dubious than the Ilustrowany atlas historii Polski, wyd. Demart, Warszawa 2006 who confuses "wassal state" with "fief" and anticipes "hospodar" for a century. About your "millions of grammatical mistakes", into the "Two nations", the names are in their POLISH form as in the polish map (this names were in use in this times). Into Hungary, in their magyar form. Into the baltic area, in their baltic form. Into Transylvania (under the Magyar names), Moldavia & Wallachia (upper the polish names), in their romanian form (transcripted from the romanian medieval specific cyrillic script). Into the Crimean khanate, into their turkic form, transcritped from the arab script. All this (included the transcription rules) are known by the historians of this area. You can verify all this, but perhaps it's easier and shorter to revert my work and to prefer, for Wikipedia, a map who represents Bialgorod & Akkerman as two different cities, and who anticipes Akkerman (appeared after 1484 - ottoman conquest) and Hospodar (appeared after 1500). My english is rocky but I make the effort to speak it, et toi, tu peux faire l'effort de t'exprimer en français ? Ca m'étonnerait. I have no words, when I'm confronted with this way of "collaboration". -- Spiridon Ion Cepleanu ( talk) 16:33, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
