Question

Hi ToBeFree. I recently alerted a new editor about WP:RUSUKR because they were making edits in that topic area such as the status of Crimea e.g. this edit. They repeatedly said that those edits have nothing to do with the war. They also said that they would not restore those edits and would instead wait until they reach 500 edits. After this, they began making a series of minor edits making typo fixes e.g. changing "wil" to "will". I have warned them about gaming but they have insisted that this is not gaming and now they have circled back to why it is OK for them to make edits about Crimea and suggesting that I self-revert to "save us both time". What is the best way to proceed here? Mellk (talk) 14:45, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mellk, thank you very much, both for dealing with the situation and for the notification. I've had a look at the changes as they are made right at the moment and they seem to be fine because they're actually necessary typographical fixes. This is unusual and doesn't yet require intervention. It might become tiresome quickly enough for Maxymczech (hi) to invent less helpful strategies, so I'll keep an eye on this. If there's just 500 of the current type of changes, I'm okay with this. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:21, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment they are prohibited from making such edits about Crimea, I would imagine? Thank you and happy holidays. Mellk (talk) 15:28, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for taking a look into this situation. Please refer to User_talk:Maxymczech for full context. I assure you that I am not a vandal and I am not going to "invent less helpful strategies". The situation spiraled out of control after I attempted to fix few factual errors on pages for geographical features in Crimea.

At this point, from my point of view, it seems like User:Mellk is set out on a personal vendetta to bar me from ever editing those pages out of spite, not out of interest of improving Wikipedia. Maxymczech (talk) 15:30, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This edit and this edit is specifically about the annexation/occupation. You even referenced this in the edit summary. It is not helpful to continue saying that this has nothing to do with the war. Mellk (talk) 15:53, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it "helpful" to continue threatening me and treating me like a vandal even though it can't be more obvious that I am not one? 🤔 Maxymczech (talk) 16:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
