RUSUKR[edit]

Hi there. I have alerted User:Dmytrootamanenko two times on their talk page about the editing restriction due to WP:RUSUKR. One of the edits they made was particularly disruptive. When they continued to make edits in the topic area, I raised this on WP:ANI but no one was interested in taking action and this was left to be archived. They also never responded. Following this, they have continued to make edits explicitly about the war such as this. What is the best way to approach this and other similar situations in the future? Thanks.

Hi Mellk, thank you very much for the notification, and for informing and warning the user about the restriction. For contentious topics designated by the Arbitration Committee, I'd say WP:AE is the best place to go. This is sadly not an option for community-authorized general sanctions such as those described at WP:GS/RUSUKR, but ANI is normally fine for this. I hope the lack of action taken there is just an unusual case.

There is no template requirement for informing users about the RUSUKR restriction; I often used User:ToBeFree/RUSUKR introduction because none existed.

I see, thank you for explaining. I noticed that WP:RUSUKR was updated to include links to potentially useful templates; would there be any use case for Template:Gs/alert? It does not mention what the restrictions are, though, so I do not think it would be particularly useful in this case. Thanks again. Mellk (talk) 20:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I've checked in the sandbox and {{subst:Gs/alert|rusukr}} ~~~~ does indeed not even inform the user about the restriction, so I think it's currently not useful. In case of general disruption, {{subst:alert/first|e-e}} is important: As soon as the user is formally aware, you can use WP:AE for reports about disruptive editing in the "Eastern Europe or the Balkans" area. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:59, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Count[edit]

You have exactly 123,000 Edits!!! Congratulations! Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 15:59, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

😄 Hey Myrealnamm, thank you very much! I didn't notice (contrary to my 100,000th edit) but now I can't reply from my main account without breaking it! 😅 ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:31, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what's going on here but there appears to be ongoing BLP issues for the past seven weeks. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:44, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Skywatcher68, thank you very much. I didn't expect to end up informing two recent changes patrollers about WP:BLPPRIMARY and revoking the article creator's autopatrolled permission. I have no idea how you find these cases but please keep them coming. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:47, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
