Disambiguation link notification for November 29
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Unity (Georgia), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Neutralism and Gori. 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 contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Russia under Vladimir Putin when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.
Thank you. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:56, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
- 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.

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Alan invasion of Cappadocia (135). When you were adding content to the page, you added duplicate arguments to a template which can cause issues with how the template is rendered. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find these errors as they will display in yellow at the top of the page. You can also install the userscript found here to help find and eliminate these errors. Thanks. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:10, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Yamla, and welcome to Wikipedia. I appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Mikheil Kavelashvili, it appears that you added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. --Yamla (talk) 15:41, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
Regarding « List of wars involving Georgia (country) »
[edit]I don't usually mind removing unsourced information, but why are we removing wars from lists that involved a country just because the articles about those wars don't have enough citations or sources ? ⠀⠀ .n 15:11, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- The answer is right in your question. When something is not sourced, there are not enough source to substantiate some information, it should be removed. WP:RS. Rutdam (talk) 15:12, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- I know what WP:RS is, and that doesn't address my question. There's a clear difference between « removing parts that don't have citations or sources » and « removing entries from lists ». Are you saying that the failed verifications within the war articles failed the criteria to include those wars in the list at all ? ⠀⠀ .n 15:21, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- Georgia did not participate in those wars I am removing, there are no sources neither on list page nor in the specific pages about these wars, I am removing unsourced and unsupported information. Rutdam (talk) 15:32, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- Could've clarified that earlier but ok
