Hello. A few days ago I created a new article about Servo, the browser engine. One of things that is worth to place in infobox is a logo. Fortunately someone — you — already uploaded the Servo logo, so me and other users don't have to upload it to use it. Unfortunately you didn't specify the license for this file (look into section ″Image without license″ on your user talk) and therefore it can be used only on English Wikipedia, which is kinda useless since it's distributed under a free license (more specifically under the Mozilla Public License). Could you specify the license for that file, please?

P.S. If you would like to reply on my user talk, please use that one on Polish Wikipedia instead. GregX21 (talk) 13:50, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your fast response. Do you know if files uploaded on Wikipedia are automatically transferred to Wikimedia Commons? I'm just asking :) Additionally this web page says something like this:

A file uploaded to Commons only has to be uploaded and maintained once, as opposed to dozens of times for each individual Wiki.

Does it mean that if you uploaded a file e.g. on English Wikipedia, other wikis can't use it? It seems that's why I don't have the ability to use it on the Polish Wikipedia. And I wasn't right before, when I talked about a license. GregX21 (talk) 22:00, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as

contentious

. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the

Ctopics/aware

}} template.

hi) i noticed your comment about Muscovite (disambiguation) on our dear Mellk's talk page:

>Hi! You keep reverting edits to Muscovite (disambiguation) and other such pages, apparently claiming the names of Muscovy and so are not proper. Care to explain why? The name is somewhat dated today, but before 18th century it was primary label. (initial rename in early 18th century, a ban for the old name by late 18th by tzaress Catherine). Thus, the name is valid both because: 1. lingering historic usage today, 2. references to earlier periods. -KiloByte (talk) 13:00, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

while no doubt our dear Mellk has done plenty of good work on WP (and for this i am grateful)) they seem also to love to revert and undo others' work, including reverting and undoing work that furthers the mission of the project. in the spirit of that mission, do we have credible sources to support the claims:

- that the term Muscovite was not only a term that foreigners used to refer to inhabitants of Muscovy

(in other words was only an

endonym

or both or neither)

- that the term Muscovite was banned by Catherine (the 1st or 2nd?) by the late 18th century

also the term Moskal (disambiguation). what information do we have on the historical and contemporary usage of this term?
