Hi. I've split the history to two separate articles at Guma, Abkhazia and Shroma. Could you please review the inbound links and wikidata at [[1]] and make sure they are right? It looks wrong to me, but as I am monolingual English, I'm doing it by pattern matching only, so I don't want to change anything. --Scott Davis ^Talk 06:53, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottDavis: ok, I will fix it, but I have one suggestion maybe will be better to rename Guma, Abkhazia into Guma (village). On the last side as I know we usually place a country and this title shows POV. (e.g. Gori, Georgia)--g. balaxaZe★ 10:37, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Many (I haven't checked to see if "most" would be true) town/city/village articles that have a comma and an enclosing area use subnational units (states of USA, Australia, Mexico, Argentina, counties in England). I thought the article name looked fine (and it's been that way since 2009), I was more worried about political sensitivities when I included it in the dismbiguation page at Guma. I'm not sure that "(village)" is sufficiently distinct from the use at Guma, Pishan County. There does not appear to be anything at WP:NCPLACE at present relating to Abkazia or Georgia. You are welcome to move it to the "right" place if there is one. A lot of incoming links use the present name, but it is possible they mostly relate to two templates. --Scott Davis ^Talk 11:32, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of municipalities in Georgia (country), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gori. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Gamarjoba! Could you please explain why did you revert my edits here?

• Abano (Kazbegi municipality)
• Suatisi‎
• Kobi (village)‎

Thanx. Taamu (talk) 10:34, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Taamu Gagimarjos, those names are definitely taken from Georgian, so no reason to place them. Also could you give an explanation why we should place them? In Georgia no one calls them like that.--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 10:44, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for creating Burmasigi, Giorgi Balakhadze!

Wikipedia editor Boleyn just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Thanks for creating this. When you've created 25 or more, please put yourself forward at WP:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled. It would reduce the new page backlog and release your articles onto Google immediately rather than after 90 days. It wouldalso be helpful if you made your sources inline (see WP:INLINECITE). Well done!

To reply, leave a comment on Boleyn's talk page.

Hello! I'd like to politely remind you that these terms are neutral as they refer to separatists that are not recognized by the international community. Please read the articles:

• List of states with limited recognition#States that are neither UN members nor UN observers
• De facto
• Sovereign state#Declarative theory
• Sovereign state#De facto and de jure states

These terms all mean that Abkhazia is not recognized as a member of the international community. It is not a de jure state. It is not a state based on the constitutive theory of sovereignty. It is a state with limited recognition. It exists de facto, but not de jure. It is a self-declared country based on the declarative theory. None of these statements are subject to opinion, and to claim that Abkhazia does not exist de facto or based on declarative theory is simply incorrect by definition. You have reverted six times in 24 hours which is edit warring and double what is accepted by the 3RR rule. If this persists, I will contact the noticeboard, but I thought I'd remind you first as I don't believe you are warring out of bad faith.
Thank you for your understanding.

@BrendonTheWizard: I think logically edit-warring is when someone tries to change a version that was acceptable for 8 years but not efforts to keep everything like it was before without involving my views or ideas.--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 20:16, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Despite you claiming "I'm already on the talk page," based on the timestamps you didn't go to the talk page until after reverting six times, and then you reverted a seventh time. Under any circumstances, no more than three reverts in a twenty-four hour period should be acceptable. Stating that it went almost a decade without anybody modifying the template is meaningless; any part of Wikipedia that goes untouched by anyone for that long is overdue and needs maintenance. Seven reverts in 24 hours is unacceptable, and I think now is a good time to get third parties involved to help solve this. Brendon the Wizard ✉️ ✨ 20:21, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@BrendonTheWizard: in the last 24 hours have reverted only two times (19:52, 29 May 2018‎ and 20:03, 29 May 2018‎, previous revert was at 18:27, 28 May 2018‎ which is 25h25m) not six times.--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 20:25, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies; the timestamps show that this was actually spread out over a longer period of time. Despite that, I maintain that this is relentless edit warring and only after I warned you did you go to the talk page, but you continued to revert even then. Brendon the Wizard ✉️ ✨ 20:30, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As I said on the talk page if someone wants to change that template, first there must be provided strong arguments and not interpretations.--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 20:43, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Bakhuta, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 09:28, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

CASSIOPEIA Villages like Bakhuta are very small and remote, there are not so many sources about them. If there is a source it only describes that such village exists somewhere there, that's it. So as I wrote in the article such source is Georgian Soviet Encyclopedia. Also, you can check the village location by coordinates in Google Maps.--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 09:47, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Giorgi Balakhadze, Good day. Every sister Wikipedia (diff languages Wikipedia) has different policies and guidelines. What is acceptable in other sister Wikipedia might not be acceptable as an article in English Wikipedia and they operate independently from each other. From m experience the notability requirements is the strictest compared to other sister Wikipedia. Secondly, notability is defined as the subject is widely (significant coverage - see WP:COVSIG by independent, reliable sources where by the the sources talk about the subject in length and in detail and not merely passing mentioned. Please see Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything if anything is not clear. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 09:55, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

<This comment was removed accidentally> CASSIOPEIA Frankly speaking I am surprised by your action, because there are similar articles in EnWiki for years with even less information (e.g. Uchvarsi, Bagiata) and no one removed or moved. I'll try to find some more sources to enrich the article.--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 09:51, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, do note there are thousands of articles in the mainspace do not pass the notability requirement. Many are unnoticed as Wikipedia reviewers are all volunteers and considered hundreds of new article and draft articles submitted each day, there are a lot of them slip the attention. - see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. An article in the mainspace does not mean it is a good example of what is a acceptable article as all articles in mainspace would subject to be nominated for deletion if they are found not notable. Do find more sources and resubmit when it is appropriate. The draft article will remain in Wikipedia system for the next six month before it will be deleted. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 10:10, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for explanation.--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 10:12, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, I disagree with CASSIOPEIA's reasoning. Legally recognized places, however small and remote, are, by definition, notable per WP:GEOLAND. --Kober^Talk 17:51, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

CASSIOPEIA what do you think about WP:GEOLAND?--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 14:33, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kober and Giorgi. Greetings. Hi Kober, thank for your input. A notable place (subject) is still have to pass WP:GNG requirements (supported by independent reliable sources which was I meant on my above message - see Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features), same page as per WP:GEOLAND but just scroll up a little more. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 16:07, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

CASSIOPEIA Could you review Draft:Bakhuta? I think now I've provided enough reliable sources.--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 17:30, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kober, agreed, the general policy is that articles about individual settlements meet the notibility criteria. GNG does not say anything against that view. 77.13.109.179 (talk) 19:19, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stop using "Infobox Settlement" (~10000 transclusions) and use "Infobox settlement" (~480000 transclusions). 213.39.177.25 (talk) 04:01, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to see that consensus of some sorts has finally been reached on WP:ANI.
