Bring it to the talk page

[edit]

You are a completely irrational user who demonstrably has no idea about Dragomir Krančević and whose vandalism is supported by a user of your absurdity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4BB8:124:B3C7:0:0:F74F:B7CD (talk) 15:54, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You would need to bring the Djokovic greatness issue to the talk page to gauge consensus there. He is already described as the greatest by many on his article, but there are several others that have that same status, including Rod Laver. Other sports pages may be swarmed with super-fans that keep it at something that belongs at a water cooler, not an encyclopedia. Personally I'd go with Laver and Chamberlain but that's a fun silly conversation to have with friends, not really here. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:33, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fine... But Chamberlain!? Come on man. Russell is greater🙂 Whatismyname2000 (talk) 10:37, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Serbia men's national basketball team, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 01:31, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You want to block me!? Why? What is disruptive about my contribution. Medals won by players and coaches are facts. I have provided relevant sources for other claims. What is non-objective here? Whatismyname2000 (talk) 06:58, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]


Information icon Hi Whatismyname2000! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Marko Miljanov several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Marko Miljanov, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:34, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain to me why you deleted the fact that Marko Miljanov was a Serb who happened to live in Montenegro? The video I posted as proof of my claim proves unequivocally that the Kuči collectively as a tribe feel like Serbs. For them, "Montenegrian" is not a national affiliation but a regional one. According to the Kuči tribe, Montenegrins are Serbs like Venetians are Italians. Whatismyname2000 (talk) 15:42, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, you are confusing ethnicity with nationality. English word "nationality" has a different meaning than the Serbo-Croatian word "nacionalnost". I do not dispute that Miljanov was ethnically Serb, that is clear. But, the WP:lead section and the WP:infobox should contain nationality, not ethnicity, see WP:ETHNICITY for more info. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:47, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand. What you are talking about is citizenship. Not nationality. Marko Miljanov's nationality is Serbian and he is an ethnic Serb. His citizenship is Montenegrin because he lives in Montenegro. Should the part of the page you are talking about include nationality or citizenship? In the first case, it should be written that Marko Miljanov is a Serbian. In the second case, a Montenegrian. Whatismyname2000 (talk) 15:57, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Did you even bother to read the nationality article, or are you just giving your opinion on what "nationality" should mean? Vanjagenije (talk) 21:02, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Моје мишљење? Националност подразумева припадност нацији. Држављанство припадност држави. То је мишљење? Националност човека чију страницу узалудно мењам је Србин. Држављанство је црногорско. Whatismyname2000 (talk) 21:24, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Grandmaster (chess). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Remsense ‥ 论 06:29, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Identity card

[edit]

Hello Whatismyname2000. Even if the picture of the identity card was valid as a source, you also need to keep in mind that only a notable nationality of the subject is mentioned in the lead per MOS:NATIONALITY. I do not see what is unclear about Wikipedia relying only on reliable and published sources, particularly secondary sources. StephenMacky1 (talk) 15:10, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. The picture is absolutely authentic. Taken from this site.
https://www.ivoandric.org.rs/%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%84%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0
The man clearly declared himself as Serbian, just as his contemporary Miroslav Krleza declared himself a Croatian. If Miroslav Krleža's page says "Croatian", by what logic does Andrić's page not say "Serbian"? Whatismyname2000 (talk) 17:49, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It is not about whether the document is authentic or not. It is about how the subject is commonly defined in sources. You cannot use one document to disregard secondary sources and switch nationality unilaterally. I am not interested in whataboutism. If you have issues with Krleža's page, you can raise it on the article's talk page. I would advise you to discuss this issue regarding Andrić on the main article's talk page. You will need more than a picture of an identity card to change nationality though. Nationality is also not the same thing as ethnicity. StephenMacky1 (talk) 17:59, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hahaha... You've got to be kidding. That's like saying you need more than my identity card to figure out my name. For God's sake we are talking about identity card. Whatismyname2000 (talk) 18:34, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Did you miss everything I wrote to you? I pointed you to a guideline as well. You ignored it. If we went solely by documents, then even Nikola Tesla would not be defined as a Serbian-American in his article. If you are not gonna bother reading basic messages (and guidelines), then I will not waste my time with you. You also need to learn to distinguish between "nationality" and "ethnicity". Sounds like you have not learned the difference since February 2025. StephenMacky1 (talk) 20:48, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's my fault. When it comes to nationality, personally, the most important thing for me is how someone defines himself. If you were to tell me that you are French, I absolutely do not care what passport or passports you have. During their lives, Andrić and Tesla clearly expressed their position on the issue of national affiliation many times. But it doesn't seem to mean anything to you. Even documents have significance on a case-by-case basis. There is no criterion by which Andrić is not a Serb and Krleža is a Croat.
But I won't bother you anymore. I understand how double standards work. Whatismyname2000 (talk) 21:41, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are no double standards. We define people as per secondary sources, and not personal or state documents. What I meant is that there is no document where Tesla is defined as a "Serbian-American". If there are secondary sources that deem a nationality as a notable aspect of a person, then that's what gets covered in the first sentence. A case could be made that Andrić being a Serbian is notable enough to mention in the first sentence as well, but I disagree with excluding Yugoslav, since that is clearly a notable aspect and sources that classify him as such can easily be found. However, if you claim that him being "Serbian" is also notable for the first sentence, then you will have no issue citing several sources that emphasize that.

Why did you block me? Whatismyname2000 (talk) 14:08, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The links that I posted during the discussions on FIBA basketball World Cup page, the links that you can find on the FIBA website, prove that after the independence of Montenegro, Serbia retained the place of FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro as a FIBA member. This means that the medals won between 1992 and 2006 belong to Serbia, which is fair. 95% of the players of FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro were Serbs anyway. If the official FIBA decision says one thing and the medal table of the same organization says something else, why am I blocked!? I can also find you a video that FIBA posted 2 years ago, in which the position was taken without hesitation that FR Yugoslavia's medals belong to Serbia. WHY DID YOU BLOCK ME?

Hello Whatismyname2000,
you may copy this text to your user talk page if it's not a secret to you. By doing so, you irrevocably publish the connection between your account and the IP address.
You have edit warred using your account Whatismyname2000 and your IP address 178.221.182.70 while logged out, and you did so after the page was protected because of your earlier edit warring, and you did so after a month-long block for edit warring, so you knew this behavior is prohibited.
Best regards,

Thank you. Does the e-mail leave any questions open about the block reason? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:46, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Are you kidding me? Of course.
The reason I was previously blocked from editing for a month has nothing to do with this. I insisted that the page about chess grandmasters should have a table with the name and flags of the original grandmasters. The man who blocked me took the view that it was unnecessary. This time the situation is completely different. One user ie. I present a source that comes from FIBA which proves that Serbia retained the place of FR Yugoslavia as a FIBA member and that on that basis the medals of FR Yugoslavia belong to Serbia. Another user cites a source from the same organization that contradicts what FIBA claims. If FIBA doesn't agree with itself, why am I blocked? And why is my interlocutor right and I am not?

I think there may be a significant misunderstanding here that, if it's the only one and if that's cleared up, may lead to:
  • you understanding why you were blocked, and
  • you promising that you won't do it again, and
  • you getting unblocked because the block lacks a preventative need from that point on.
And that misunderstanding may be pretty simple, actually. If I understand correctly, you genuinely believe that both your original block and this one have anything to do with the accuracy of your content.
They don't.
Edit warring is disruptive and prohibited even if you are right. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:06, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As soon as you see the issue, please create an unblock request using the instructions at WP:GAB, and make sure that your request explains what the issue was, why it didn't become clear even when you were blocked explicitly for this reason (see the 1-month block message from back then, please, have a close look at what it says) and why we can be sure that it won't happen again. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:08, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Whatismyname2000 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

While editing pages on Wikipedia, I was under the impression that it is possible to get a block if you insist too much on changing the page in accordance with claims of a subjective nature when there's really no source I could use to back up the claim. To be honest, I didn't read the warnings i got before. Probably because of that I honestly had no idea that it was possible to get blocked even if I provided first-class evidence for what I was claiming. And that's exactly what happened when I edited the FIBA World Cup page while providing evidences that medals of FR Yugoslavia belong to Serbia (https://www.fiba.basketball/en/news/pr-no-22-montenegro-becomes-213th-fiba-member .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnkoQgKeUPk). If I understood correctly based on the discussions with ToBeFree who blocked me, the war between editors is prohibited in itself and can lead to the fact that even the editor who is right and provides evidence for his claim is blocked. I honestly didn't know that this was possible at all. I believed that in the case of presenting first-class evidence, it is impossible to get a block no matter how many times I change the content of the page in accordance with what the source says. Obviously I was wrong. In this regard, I am sending a request for unblock with the promise that the edit war will not happen again in my case

Accept reason:

In case you encounter a similar situation again, what would you do? The policy against edit warring contains advice for such situations. The dispute resolution policy goes even further with advice. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:37, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll be reading this in the next few days for sure, but I can guarantee you that I am absolutely no longer interested in insisting on changing any page even if I provide proof for my claim. I will try to change the page according to what my proof says. I'll try once. If someone restores the old version of the page, the discussion is over as far as I'm concerned. I don't care anymore. I won't risk the block. If the links you sent me give me some better advice on what to do if someone keeps bringing back the old version of the page despite the evidence I've presented then I'll apply that advice. Whatismyname2000 (talk) 20:55, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
