Difficult to understand article

Of course it's hard to understand this article if you don't know nothing about secret services plain and simple

Proposed deletion of Directorate of Special Departments within NKVD USSR

The article Directorate of Special Departments within NKVD USSR has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreasonable confusing content, scarce references, and no respective Russian counterpart to translate from and repair

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Apology and explanation of delete proposal

I am sorry for violating WP:TEARDOWN and proposing deletion. My reasoning was that I didn't believe it met Verifiability and was unaware that you were still working on it. For pages that are still under construction, it is probably best to use sandboxes, and my reasoning for the deletion proposal was that an article containing extensive copyedit problems and lacking any sources should not be live on Wikipedia. HolmKønøman (talk) 22:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Based on my understanding of Wikipedia's guidelines, WP:NOR is a strict policy that says every claim made must be substantiated by WP:RS and not written first, and sources added later. This was my first deletion proposal and I find it entirely possible that I acted in error of the Official Wikipedia policies. If this is indeed the case, I would do better in the future knowing how these policies should be interpreted. HolmKønøman (talk) 22:57, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from SMERSH into Directorate of Special Departments within NKVD USSR. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 16:55, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
