Vasiliy Molodtsov moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Vasiliy Molodtsov, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

About the Tsagaan Sar dispute

I am now aware that calling the holiday an "Arctic holiday" is the equivalent of calling Nowruz (the Persian new year) an "Arab holiday" and is offensive to the Mongols and the people living in the Arctic. When I first edit this article, I was not aware that this is a Buddhist holiday. My edits to this article does not represent either the Mongols nor the ethnic groups living in the Arctic. I'm pretty sure you are either Mongol or Siberian that knows more knowledge about the holiday. The reason why I think that this holiday was related to the Arctic is because of the holiday's shamanistic origins (if you look up on Google, any websites will tell anyone that it was shamanistic origins right before Buddhism came). My goal here is not to offend anyone of any race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, etc. I was not aware about the true meaning of the holiday. As the Lunar New Year is coming up, I want to apologize to all Mongols and the people living in the Arctic. It was not my intent to offend anyone, I think it was just a mistake and misunderstanding about the Mongol culture. If you want to explain more about this holiday (including the myths and facts), you are more welcome. I have IRL friends who are Chinese and I habe respected their traditional customs. Again, I apologize for hurting Mongol traditions. I wasn't aware that it was only a Mongol holiday as other ethnic groups that I mentioned in my edits that their own new year. I promised that I will do more careful research on these ethnic groups. I always wanted to go to Mongolia for its beauty of the people, culture and the land. I do know that the Lunar New Year is a happy time for celebration. I want to address this matter because you are telling me that my edits could insult the Mongols and the people living in the Arctic. If I do, I am sincerely sorry about the lack of understanding the Mongol culture. I hope anything like this will never happen again in the future. SpinnerLaserz (talk) 17:53, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Transliteration of the Yakut language

Good day. Can I answer your questions with a question? Anyway, эhиги саха5ыт ду? --Miraisenn (talk) 19:51, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Дорооболоруҥ, Miraisenn. Сөп, мин сахабын. Но сейчас это никакого отношения не имеет к этому делу. Проблема в том что вы используете систему транслитерация в иноязычном сегменте википедии, которая ни на чём не основания и непонятно как и кем создана. В википедии так не работают, там всё организованно и существует своя система. Для передачи к примеру в англоязычном сегменте википедии нужно использовать наиболее понятную систему передачи на латинскую письменность якутского языка, чтобы средний англоязычный читатель смог прочитать, то что написанно. Поэтому лучше использовать Общий тюрский алфавит так он пока наиболее подходит для передачи среднестатистического тюркского текста, например сравнительного анализа языка или передачи якутских названий местностей. Можно было бы в теории использовать Яналиф, которым якутский язык использовал в 1929-1938гг., но средний англоязычный читатель смог бы прочитать текст. Алфавит Новгородова для этих целий неподходит поскольку является более архаичной системой и вряд ли был бы элементарно читабельным. Ещё одна проблема для последних систем, то что не все буквы из этих двух последних алфавитов кодифицированы в компьютере. К примеру латинская буква Ь ь (Ы ы) до сих пор не кодифицирована несмотря на все заявки в Unicode. Вместо неё используют похожие буквы.--Modun (talk) 00:16, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Средний англоязычный читатель тем более не знает тюркского алфавита, который еще и не очень подходит для якутского языка, фонетика которого отличается от остальных тюркских языков. С вашей точки зрения лучше тогда использовать русскую транслитерацию вперемешку с немецким, так более понятно будет средним англоязычным читателям. Честно говоря не вижу смысла в транслитерации якутского языка, кириллица отлично справляется со своей задачей. Но если ее и делать, то лучше использовать транслитерацию основываясь на фонетике самого английского, не используя алфавиты других языков. --Miraisenn (talk) 00:59, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Да средний англоязычный (или иной) читатель не знает общий тюркский алфавит. Но он ему будет более понятен. Транслитерация на английский язык мягко говоря не удобна на практике. К примеру, как бы с помощью английской транслитерации вы написалии бы слово "айыы", "ыйытыы" или другое подобное слово? А Общий тюрский алфавит всё таки специально создан под тюркские языки, и вполне себе справляется с функцией транслитерации на латиницу. К слову никто специально не станет учить кириллицу, поэтому для иноязычных надо транслителировать на латиницу. Особенно когда дело касается других языков.--Modun (talk) 02:56, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Написал бы как ajyy, yjytyy. Нет необходимости использовать общий тюркский алфавит для якутского языка. Излишнее количество непонятных символов символов, которое образуется при его использовании для якутского только вводит в ступор. Как раз грамматика и фонетика якутского языка, которое отличается от других тюркских языков, позволяют нам использовать обычный латинский алфавит (используя диграфы, как gh - ҕ, dj - дь и т.д.). Вы акцентируете внимание на понятность для среднего англоговорящего пользователя, но почему-то все равно настаиваете на использовании непонятного алфавита, а нарочито подчеркивать тюркскость якутского языка считаю неуместным. --Miraisenn (talk) 12:45, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Только это не английская транслитерация. Почемы вы так стараетесь избегать тюркских корней? Как раз якуты знакомы с турецким алфавитом на котором основан общетюрский алфавит. Я не настаиваю что якутский язык писали на турецком алфавите, но хотел бы чтобы для передачи якутских слов и текстов использовался наиболее стандартизированый вариант, которым пока является общетюркский алфавит и на данный момент более менее адекватной алтернативы нету. Общий тюркский алфавит хоть и не идеален, зато наиболее стандартизирован и повторюсь его вполне хватает для транслитерации. К слово те слова которые привёл выше с точки зрения английского языка писались как “ayyy” и “yyytyy”. А ту систему которую привели, ну она мягко говоря ни на чём не основана. Какая то химера из нескольких разных алфавитов. К примеру, почему если вы настаиваете на написании для передачи якутского языка с точки зрения английского, то взяли буквы из эстонского алфавита? Кто установил данный алфавит? У вас есть какие либо ссылки, источники?--Modun (talk) 13:37, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Никто не избегает тюркских корней, это скорее к вам вопрос, почему Вы так стараетесь "тюркизировать" наш язык? Этот наиболее стандартизированный вариант основан на турецком языке, фонетика которого, мягко говоря, отличается от фонетики якутского. Я Вам предоставил адекватную альтернативу, алфавит только с двумя добавочными буквами (ы - õ, ө - ø), а Вы настаиваете на использовании неудобного алфавита для якутского языка в котором семь дополнительных знаков. И это не химера из разных алфавитов, заимствование только из эстонского (õ - ы), в котором этот символ тоже означает похожий звук, а ø - это символ из МФА, с которым ознакомлен любой человек, который учился в школе. Официально письменность якутского языка это кириллица, а любые другие системы это все догадки. Онон эһиги атын түүр омуктарга чугас буола сатыыргытын үчүгэйдик өйдөөбөппүн. Тоҕо саха тылын ханнык эрэ стандартка чугаһата сатыахтаахпытый? Саха тыла бэйэтэ бэйэтинэн хаалыахтаах. Онон ол бу түүрчүлүгү игин манна кыбытар наадата суох. --Miraisenn (talk) 17:54, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Стоп! Это вы настаивали на транслитерации якутского языка средствами английского языка, которого на практике явно не достачно. Ваш вариант содержит буквы которые отсутствуют в английском алфавите, и ничем не подтверждён и не обоснован. У вас есть какие либо авторитетные источники? (Энциклопедии, словари, учебники или монографии. Ссылки на форум или чей либо блог) Я не пытюсь "тюркизировать" якутский язык, просто для передачи на английский (или иной) латинописьменный язык надо транслителировать некоторые слова или названия. Общий тюркский алфавит хоть основан на турецком алфавите, но не обязательно читается на турецкий варинт. В добавок в отличие от английского языка содержит вообще то почти буквы для передачи якутского языка на латинский алфавит и вполне его хватает. Это система не для использования якутского языка, а всего лишь для передачи якутского языка на латинописьменные тексты!--Modun (talk) 03:01, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Erzya

"Official" means nothing. The 2010 census reported 392,941 Mordvin speakers, 36,726 Erzya-Mordvin speakers, and 2025 Moksha-Mordvin speakers. That means, obviously, that most Erzya and Moksha speakers reported their language as "Mordvin". If the ratio of self-reported Erzya to Moksha speakers is representative, then 95% of Mordvin speakers speak Erzya, for 409,000 Erzya speakers. That would be OR, of course, but claiming there are 37,000 Erzya speakers is silly. Unless you have a RS that there were 395,000 Moksha speakers in 2010? — kwami (talk) 07:03, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Kwamikagami, what does mean “nothing”? This is the official information registered by the Russian census of 2010, according to which 36,726 people stated that they speak the Erzyan language in Russia. Do you have other information than mathematical calculus? And yes, this year in Russia a new population census should be held, which will show new information that will clarify a lot.--Modun (talk) 08:41, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

I doubt it will clarify much, because most Erzya will still identify as speaking Mordvin. Unless "Mordvin" has been removed from the census, forcing people to specify Erzya or Moksha?

This is like the census in India, where many people who report their language as "Hindi" do not actually speak Hindi.

By "nothing", I mean that the fact that this is official information has no value. It doesn't matter if the information is official or not, only that it's reliable. And it is reliable, but you need to read the information, not just repeat the words with no understanding of what they mean. If you say there are 37k speakers of Erzya, you show that you don't understand the census results. — kwami (talk) 09:44, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Kwamikagami, The population census records certain trends. Personally, I don't care whether you like these numbers or not. In the end, these are just dry statistics that can be interpreted as you like. In this case, if the Erzya people got drunk with their culture, they would indicate their language as Erzyan, and not Mordovian.

in the end, do you have any alternative data that is not taken from the ceiling?--Modun (talk) 10:42, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

I don't really understand what you're saying. You used figures that you admit were wrong. So what's there to talk about? — kwami (talk) 14:26, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Undo edits with references

5.197.251.240, what are doing?! you cancel edits added with links to the source! Your edits are not formalized at all!--Modun (talk) 13:32, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

But they are sourced5.197.251.240 (talk) 13:33, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

And you started it first. I have sourced it first in change description, so ther is no point in arguing. 5.197.251.240 (talk) 13:37, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

they are not under any sources. In the articles, at least in general, no sources are indicated. This is first! Secondly, the instructions for transliteration of Cyrillic texts (and corresponding languages) contain instructions on how to carry out such transliteration. You are acting against them! Moreover, you initially unknown based on nothing, carry out your unknown transliteration, and then you already cite a source that you yourself even checked!--Modun (talk) 13:43, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

According to it KNAB is not an acceptable system, so you have to change romanization for Yakutian. And I have added sources in the article and originally I mentioned source in change description.5.197.251.240 (talk) 13:49, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

KNAB was the subject of a separate article and transliteration. Now we are talking about transliteration of a completely different language, and moreover, transliteration designed according to the instructions. And most importantly, designed under the sources that you willfully canceled!--Modun (talk) 13:53, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

NO! I removed my romanization first and I just reverted it back and put a source in the article. You are using a lot of double standards in relations to the KNAB. Please stop. 5.197.251.240 (talk) 13:57, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Are either of you more familiar with another language, perhaps русский or Azərbaycan? It might be best to communicate in that if so? There seems to be some difficulties with communication here, possibly related to a language barrier. Mako001 (C)  (T)  14:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

what double standards? That dispute concerned a separate language, as a result of which we agreed on the opinion that the KNAB system should be used as optimal. I repeat! The dispute now concerns ANOTHER LANGUAGE!--Modun (talk) 14:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for dropping in uninvited. But I was the one who made the mass revert of Azeri IP's edits, so I have got some earlier involvement. I have been watching this unfold for a little while now. Mako001 (C)  (T)  14:02, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia: Naming_conventions (Cyrillic) says that "Some collections of romanization systems" that means that other systems such as Alworth are possible to use. And it was you who was continually houding me, so pls pls pls stop. 5.197.251.240 (talk) 14:08, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Mako001!👋🏻 Yes you are right! We definitely have a language barrier here. But I don't know if the anonymous IP speaks Russian or not? In any case, this is all weird. For example, I have to communicate through a translator, so excuse me if that.--Modun (talk) 14:11, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

the instructions generally list the transliteration systems used. And unfortunately it is limited. In any case, the edits are fixed by links in the article in accordance with the above list.--Modun (talk) 14:15, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Mako001, in any case, I would like to file a complaint with the administrators. Or bring in a third party. But the language barrier prevents me from doing it. In general, how could I do this?--Modun (talk) 14:18, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Can we end the dispute? I provided a source and this system is easy to read for foreigners, the essential criteria for romanization. And Wikipedia: Naming_conventions (Cyrillic) says that "Some collections of romanization systems" that means that other systems such as Alworth are possible to use.I didn't start revering, it was you. 5.197.251.240 (talk) 14:19, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Oh really? And why do you then change, at your own discretion, the already existing transliterations to your own, which are already readable for foreign-language readers? In addition, you formally bring the source to your transliteration, you didn’t even bother to check it!--Modun (talk) 14:29, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Common, this system is much closer to the standard Latin alphabet and is very understandable for an English speaker. And there was only one difference between my first system and source, which I have fixed. So pls, pls can we end it? 5.197.251.240 (talk) 14:33, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Try WP:3O or WP:DR. Both of you will need to cooperate for it to work out though. I have seen behavioural issues with both of you, so going to WP:ANI or a similar venue probably isn't a good idea. I'll keep out of this, except to offer guidance, as I'm not particularly interested in the dispute itself. I will be keeping an eye on how this goes though. If you want my attention, use this {{u|Mako001}} in the message. I can't guarantee I'll be available for the next few hours though, as I'm in UTC 8. Mako001 (C)  (T)  14:46, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

For example: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk pages of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 02:58, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Partially translated, yes. In fact, I wanted to give statistics on the latest population census, and I noticed that all the same, a small explanation should be given on the resettlement of the Nenets people in different regions.
Should I indicate that I translated one paragraph?Modun (talk) 03:07, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Your edit to Udege language 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. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 20:13, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Excuse me, what are the actual claims to this part of the article if I indicated the authorship with a link to the article and which is in the public domain? Modun (talk) 13:59, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

I have double checked and the source is not in the public domain, but it is licensed under a compatible Creative Commons license. Sorry for the mistake.

It's okay to copy it, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 18:35, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

CS1 error on Nivkh alphabets

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Nivkh alphabets, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A "missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 12:03, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, 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;
• 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.

TylerBurden (talk) 18:29, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

What does you mean contentious topics? This is just a map of the population density of the country. What could be controversial about it? Modun (talk) 20:11, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

This is a standard notice for awareness, since you are editing within the topic, click the links if you want to read about it.

As for the map you added, it's WP:OR. TylerBurden (talk) 19:26, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Wouldn't it have been easier to request the source? However, in the description they were even indicated according to which this map was compiled, sorry, they could have been cited. And the maps were compiled according to the latest population censuses at that time, i.e. somewhere in the beginning of the 2010s. Modun (talk) 22:27, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

CS1 error on Dungan alphabets

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Dungan alphabets, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A missing title error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Warning

You are deleting the POV tag on the Nivkh alphabets article despite the ongoing dispute on the talk page. If you continue, I will request that you be blocked.

I shouldn't have to template a regular, but since you've said that you're allowed to engage in OR on WP, perhaps I need to make it clear:

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — kwami (talk) 04:15, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
