Thanks for your article on Rodos !. In writing articles on Russians, it is useful to check whether there is an existing article in the ruWP to which it can be linked. I added the link, and also his Russian language name. DGG ( talk ) 07:53, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly
reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at
Avel Enukidze. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "
edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the
normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a
consensus on the
talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. - Radiphus ( talk) 14:58, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
I saw that you are having trouble requesting a page move. To request a page move of "Avel Enukidze" to "Avel Yenukidze", you will have to click here to create a new section in the article's talk page and then paste the text you see in the box below. I have used your reply to my post as the rationale for the proposed name change. Note that you don't need to provide a headline for the new section or sign your post. Just paste the text and publish your edit in the talk page. - Radiphus ( talk) 02:11, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
{{ subst:requested move|Avel Yenukidze|There is an inconsistency in the way Wikipedia transliterates names beginnign with the Cyrillic letter 'e'. For instance, there are entries for:
Boris Yeltsin, Alexei Yepishev, Andrey Yeryomenko, Vasyl Yermylov, Yefim Yevdokimov, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Nikolai Yezhov and many more.
Enukidze if the only entry I kind find where that same letter is transliterated at the beginning of a surname as E rather than Ye (although it is quite common for the forename Evgeny to omit the Y) I think we should use the 'Ye' for surnames because:
1) it already appears to be the more common form used on Wikipedia
2) it's the form used by all the most commonly read English language Russian historians, such as Simon Sebag Montefiore, Orlando Figes, Sheila Fitzpatrick, Robert Conquest, Isaac Deutscher etc. The 'E' format is more often used by academics who are not writing for the popular market.
3) It's a better guide to pronuniciation, and differentiates the cyrillic 'E' from 'Э', as in Eisenstein or Ehrenburg.
4) The best known name in this list is Boris Yeltsin, which is never seen spelt as 'Eltsin', so far as I know.}}

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grigori Sokolnikov, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lubyanka ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thank you for your recent articles, including Galina Serebryakova, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK.

Thank you for your recent articles, including Galina Serebryakova, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:49, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
