Introduction
[edit]Hi, thank you for visiting my talk page. Due recent negativity pushed on me by pro-Russian editors, I'd like to keep this talk page to official messages only; to make myself more clear: unless you're a WP admin or bureaucrat, who came to my TP to leave an official WP message, your contribution to this talk page is not welcome (and will be removed). Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Piznajko (talk • contribs) 17:58, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

. User:Ymblanter (talk) 06:42, 2 October 2019 (UTC)- You got two warnings on discretionary sanctions. I told you last time that the next time you would be blocked. Yesterday, you were clearly told that your activity at Talk:Kiev/Naming is disruptive. You preferred not to listen and went to hound an uninvolved user who closed the discussion [1]. The following blocks will be longer.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
Unblock request
[edit]Request reason:
- 1) Being disruptive on Talk:Kiev/Naming and 2) Wikipedia:WIKIHOUNDING editor Fyunck(click) on his TP
- What I have to say in my defence:
- Regarding disruptive behaviour Talk:Kiev/Naming, I disagree with this accusation. I believe I was 1) behaving civilly and was not rude in any way whatsoever to anyone in any discussions on Talk:Kiev/Naming. 2) I was not being WP:Disruptive in that discussion and all of the 3 recent discussion on that TP that were initiated by me there were all done in good faith and were all based on separate new circumstances that recently happened in regards to Kyiv spelling: 1) the 1st one was regarding AP Stylebook change to Kyiv spelling, 2) the 2nd one was regarding NPR changing its stylebook to Kyiv spellign and 3) the 3rd one was regarding the Library of Congress change to Kyiv spelling.
- However, Ymblanter is correct in his assertion that there were accusations of disruption against me on Talk:Kiev/Naming yesterday, particularly by admin Black Kite as well as editors Khajidha and TaivoLinguist. I however, disagreed that my behaviour on that TP was disruptive (per my points raised above) and another member of that discussion @Roman Spinner: disagreed with Black Kite, Khajidha and TaivoLinguist that my behaviour was disruptive. I urge a neutral admin to review all 3 recent discussions that I initiated on Talk:Kiev/Naming and see for himself/herself that my participation their was not disruptive
- Wikipedia:WIKIHOUNDING editor Fyunck(click) on his TP, , I disagree with this accusation. I came to editor's Fyunck(click) and asked him very civilly to unclose that discussion at least to give user @Roman Spinner: a chance to respond to my apology to him (I don't want to get into long debade what happened there, but long story short it wasn't that I myself behaved uncivily towards Roman Spinner, yet I unwittingly caused uncivility of another user in that discussion towards him. I urge a neutral admin to review my discussion with Fyunck(click) on his TP and see for himself/herself that I was not Wikipedia:WIKIHOUNDING in any way whatsover
- Regarding disruptive behaviour Talk:Kiev/Naming, I disagree with this accusation. I believe I was 1) behaving civilly and was not rude in any way whatsoever to anyone in any discussions on Talk:Kiev/Naming. 2) I was not being WP:Disruptive in that discussion and all of the 3 recent discussion on that TP that were initiated by me there were all done in good faith and were all based on separate new circumstances that recently happened in regards to Kyiv spelling: 1) the 1st one was regarding AP Stylebook change to Kyiv spelling, 2) the 2nd one was regarding NPR changing its stylebook to Kyiv spellign and 3) the 3rd one was regarding the Library of Congress change to Kyiv spelling.
I ask for a fair review of this case by an uninvolved admin. By uninvolved admin, I mean that I am asking my case to be reviewed by an admin who:
- has not been involved any Talk:Kiev/Naming discussion over the past 15 years
- has not been in any in any WP:EEML-like topics (and by WP:EEML-like topics I don't mean that specific ArbCom case, but rather more broadly any Eastern European discussion at all; e.g., fully neutral admin who has not been involved in any Eastern European discussion at all) over the past 15 years
If among 1000+ English admins there is no one who hasn't at one point or another been involved in Talk:Kiev/Naming and more broadly Eastern European discussion, then I ask at least that it be an admin who has never been involved in Talk:Kiev/Naming and discussion around Ukraine-related topics.
Lastly, I ask of @Roman Spinner:, if he be so kind as to do this for me, to be the mediator between me and the admin who ends up reviewing the case. Specifically, since I'm blocked and no longer have access to any WP page beyond my TP, I ask him to copy any relevant messages from me to any admin boards where my case might be discussed.
Thank you Piznajko (talk) 07:26, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
p.s. I want to also point out the UTMOST restraint that @Roman Spinner: (and I, for that matter) has shown over the last few weeks in Talk:Kiev/Naming discussion, despite the fact that several of the editors involved in that discussion were behaving blatanly uncivilly towards him; I'm not going to list all the diffs and all the instances here, but will just show 1 example: admin Ymblanter provided a false statement regarding the Kiev vs. Kyiv Google search results that we were discussing - I'm paraphrasing here, but Ymblanter basically said that my statement immediately above "that Kiev vs. Kyiv had about 2-to-1 lead in Google search results" was false and that actually based on his search of the same google querry he got 3000-to-1 lead for Kiev vs Kyiv (verbatim quote I just tried exactly the same searches (more exactly, pasted the above urls to my browser). The first one produces for me 297 000 results, whereas the second one produces 80 results, which is approximately 3000:1 ratio
diff) - no biggie, we all make mistakes and I did not in ANY way whatsoever respond to him rudely or uncivily to him, instead opting for a very polite explanation of why his numbers were wrong and how he could fix them(e.g. I told him Ymblanter the answer lies in your Google search settings (the # of results will also depend on your location and language settings); however, while the exact number of search results will differ by individual (and will also differ for the same individual when performed on different days/times), the general ratio of results should still be the same. Ymblanter, please look for preferences in your Google search - your search results #'s for Kyiv seem way wrong.
diff) In his response to my comment Ymblanter, rather than civillly admitting that he had made a mistake and previously had some unusual settings in his Google search and after updating them to Locatoan:US, Language: English he was able to confirm the same ration of 2-to-1 (he wouldn't get the exact same #'s, that's jsut the nature of Google search, but he would still get the ballpark #'s that would correspond to the same ratio), goes on and blatanly uncivilly insults @Roman Spinner: with some unrelatted jab at some Miami Herald comment that Romman Spinner hasn't made in over a year (verbatim quote Or may be your search results are way wrong. I believe 3000:1 is much closer to reality than 2:1. I am sure though Roman Spinner will find a way to explain us for the 1000th time that all English speakers will embrace the "correct" spelling Kyiv pretty soon, following the trend set by Miami Herald.
diff). After this - I will be honest - I saw it plain and simple that Ymblanter was behaving rudely and uncivilly towards Roman Spinner, but I said nothing because Ymblanter is an admin, and what can one do against an admin - correct, nothing. But to Roman Spinner's credit I'm sure that he also saw Ymblanter's insult towards him and yet showed UTMOST restraint (as did I actually, as I was very unhappy by that offensive remark) and said no insulting remark in response.
Decision: Neither Decliner nor Accepted. None of the admins were willing to review the case before 2-day block expired
- Appeal moot, block has expired. MER-C 09:29, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- @MER-C: something is broke in the above template - it looks all wonky. Could you please assist? Thanks!--Piznajko (talk) 09:33, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- Unblock request template was intentionally neutralized because your block has expired. Vanjagenije (talk) 09:41, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- I deliberately broke it. The unblock template gives me only "accept" (unblock) or "decline" (stay blocked) options. The outcome is neither of those - I have not made any decision on the merits of your block because I did not need to. P.S. long appeals don't get read. MER-C 09:42, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- Got it, thanks for the clarification @MER-C:. By "long appeals" I assume it's meant appeals that are still not reviewed by the time the block expired, so the appeal becomes simply unresolved. Is that a correct assumption?--Piznajko (talk) 10:06, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- Long as in length of prose. MER-C 10:08, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.
