Citizens through descent



Hey, on the same note as this deletion request ↗, I wanted to ask if you think it's also appropriate to merge the Naturalized citizens by country ↗ subcat with People with acquired citizenship ↗? <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><sub><b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#27B382">1499</b></sub> 12:50, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
:If I remember correctly, naturalization ↗ is one of the ways to acquire citizenship. If :Category:People with acquired citizenship ↗ contains a significant proportion of people who acquired the citizenship via something other than naturalization, then perhaps it could be kept. If not, then could be merged. Could be brought to discussion anyway. Brandmeister<sup>talk</sup> 14:06, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
::True, but "naturalized citizens" it's the only subcat of "acquired citizenship". Might as well just chunk everything in acquired imo. <b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#000080">Nehme</b><sub><b style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:80%;color:#27B382">1499</b></sub> 16:27, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

NATO Motto



Hi there, can I ask, how strongly do you feel about including ''animus in consulendo liber'' on the NATO ↗ article? I know it got kicked out of the infobox because the consensus that was decided was that it was too trivial to include, and I think the same should probably apply to the summary. Before I revert the edit though, I wanted to see if there was somewhere else in the article that you could find to integrate the factoid.-- Patrick Neil, <sub>o</sub><small>Ѻ</small><sup>∞</sup>/Talk 13:47, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
:I think it should be mentioned in the article because an encyclopedia cannot ignore the fact that NATO, just like many other organizations, has a motto. I was somewhat surprised when the motto parameter was discontinued in the organization infobox, but such mottos should be mentioned in the article body anyway. Personally I prefer placing them in the lead per WP:SUMMARY ↗, but the place could be discussed. Brandmeister<sup>talk</sup> 13:56, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Russian UFOlogy



The publication in ''{{color|blue|MK}}{{color|red|RU}}'' ↗ cannot be taken seriously. The others have in common that Mikhail Gershtein is the source, so the obvious approach is to send him an email.

Translation



Hello Brandmeister, would you be able to translate a few sentences in an article for me? This is for the Uzbekistan Airways and Riga airport articles. I wasn't totally confident in the Google translations of these sentences (article link ↗):
Thank you for your time! Sunnya343 (talk) 04:57, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
:Hi, the first sentence would be: "It [Uzbekistan Airways] ceased operations after three months – the Latvian counterpart has not been eager to meet the expectations, while transcontinental flights have been very expensive". The second sentence is: "Secondly, the Latvian government is doing everything to foster the local aviation market. By that I mean lowering departure tax ↗es". Russian phrase from the first sentence "на ловца и зверь бежит" (literally "the game ↗ runs to a hunter") is an idiom ↗ meaning a good opportunity that comes by itself. Brandmeister<sup>talk</sup> 09:51, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
::Thank you! I would just like to clarify, is the first sentence basically saying that Uzbekistan Airways stopped operating the flight because it was not profitable/successful [so the airline rerouted it through Amsterdam]? Sunnya343 (talk) 05:00, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
:::Alongside not being profitable, it says that the Latvian destination was not fruitful (at least as I understand it). Brandmeister<sup>talk</sup> 18:28, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on :Vladimir Azhazha ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because it is a disambiguation page which either
:::*disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic ↗);
:::* disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
:::*is an orphaned ↗ redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information ↗.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Vladimir+Azhazha|deleting administrator}}. <!-- Template:Db-disambig-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 13:24, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

I think that this article would be a good addition to the English articles. It's quite interesting when compared with other execution methods practiced in the Western countries during the Middle Ages. 2A02:C7C:AA72:F000:8BD:F302:4BA2:59B3 ↗ (talk) 17:38, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Russian source



Hi Brandmeister, could you help me verify a claim in a Russian paper? Google Translate gave a rather garbled result, presumably due to the quality of the image. The source is here ↗, and in Sarmatians#Etymology ↗ its page 296 (which is the sixth page in the preview) is used to support the statement '[*Sarmata or *Sarumata] meant "armed with throwing darts and arrows," and is cognate with the Indic ↗ Sanskrit ↗ term ''śárumant'' (शरुमन्त्), which makes it semantically similar to the endonym of the Scythians, ''*Skuδatā'', meaning "archers."'

Could you verify if this statement is actually supported by that page of the source? Thank you so much! Liu1126 (talk) 10:24, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
:Hi, seemingly it does support the source. The related part in the source is "...прилагательное *sa<sup>u</sup>ru-mat-a-, которое находит себе цельнолексемное соответствие в др.-инд. (RV) saru-mant- "вооружённый" saru- метательным оружием (дротиками, стрелами)" ("...adjective *sa<sup>u</sup>ru-mat-a-, which has a whole-lexical correspondence in the Indo-European saru-mant- "armed with saru", a throwing weapon (javelins, arrows)".

Notice of Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard discussion


Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a report involving you at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement ↗ regarding a possible violation of an Arbitration Committee ↗ decision. The thread is '''Brandmeister ↗'''. <!--Template:AE-notice--> Thank you.

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction


{{Ivmbox
|2=Commons-emblem-hand.svg
|imagesize=50px
|1=The following sanction now applies to you:

{{Talkquote|1=You are topic-banned ↗ from all Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict-related articles, broadly construed.}}

You have been sanctioned as a result of this AE thread ↗.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator ↗ under the authority of the Arbitration Committee ↗'s decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Armenia-Azerbaijan 3 ↗ and, if applicable, the contentious topics procedure ↗. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions ↗. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy ↗ to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked ↗ for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here ↗. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template ↗ if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard.&nbsp;Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. <span style="color: orange;">Number</span> <span style="color: green;">5</span><span style="color: blue;">7</span> ↗ 15:07, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

:Given this was your third time at ANI/AE in six weeks due to issues in this subject area, the topic ban is not time-limited (i.e. indefinite). You can of course appeal the length of the topic ban now, or, if you choose, wait until you feel have demonstrated the ability to edit more neutrally (and without any topic ban violations) and request the ban be lifted. <span style="color: orange;">Number</span> <span style="color: green;">5</span><span style="color: blue;">7</span> ↗ 18:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Your custom fonts

::::::::Thanks! One more element to check is the colour. Given the black is a shadow which is not present on the top or left side, the grey needs to meet the contrast requirements both with the white and with the black. There's a nifty tool ↗ to find appropriate colours. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:21, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
::::::::I just happened across this discussion, but the above signature is completely illegible (and also extremely distracting); it more or less reads as "{{color|#555|▇▆▆▆▆▆▆▆}}<sup>talk ↗</sup>". I'd recommend you switch back to your signature from 2024, as seen further up this page, where the name was formatted as a regular wikilink. –jacobolus ↗ (t) ↗ 17:30, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::::Switching from "{{color|#555|▇▆▆▆▆▆▆▆}}<sup>talk ↗</sup>" to "{{color|#555|▇▇▇▇}}<sup>talk ↗</sup>" doesn't solve the problem. The Impact ↗ typeface is intended for logos and display text, e.g. titles on posters. When used as intended in high contrast, its design goal with ultra-bold condensed letters to have the highest possible density of ink while still being nominally legible, so that it can make an "impact", i.e. distract the reader to dramatically emphasize the bit of text set with it. Something like: {{pb}} <div style="font-family:Impact; font-size:200%; margin-left: 3em; margin-top:.5em;">Smash!</div> {{pb}} ''You were just punched in the face by my poster title.'' {{pb}} If used with a dark color on the default light background, Impact is moderately legible for a title, but not really an appropriate signature font at the size of body copy. It is incredibly distracting, which is rude to other participants in the conversation. It could possibly be barely acceptable to use as a signature font if lightened enough to not be significantly visually heavier than the surrounding text, something like "{{font|text=Brandmeister|font=Impact|size=|color=#999}}<sup>talk ↗</sup>". This would be difficult to read, bad taste, and bad design, but you probably wouldn't get flamed every time you use it. However, your current style of using medium gray text with a darker gray drop shadow to fill in all of the negative space around the letters makes it completely and utterly illegible. Using all caps is even worse. The heavy gray rectangular blob of shapes that are barely recognizable as letters is not an acceptable signature. You should not use this signature outside of your own page. If you want a bold font installed broadly across readers' devices, let me recommend {{font|color=#888|font=Arial Black|Brandmeister}} (Arial Black) or '''{{font|color=#666|font=Trebuchet MS|Brandmeister}}''' (Trebuchet MS Bold) instead. Please skip the drop shadow altogether. –jacobolus ↗ (t) ↗ 18:33, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::::::That's apparently a subjective perception that varies from person to person. I, for one, see my signature clearly enough, like embossed metallic letters with shadows, as intended, and no blob issues (otherwise I wouldn't have designed it). The suggested plain grey fonts look too simplistic and muted for me, but I'll fiddle around with other designs. <span style="font-family:Impact; font-size:100%; color:#C0C0C0; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow: 1px 1px 0 #000, 2px 2px 0 #000, 3px 3px 2px #333;">BRAND</span> <sup>talk</sup> 21:42, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

Regarding translation of Wikipedia article "Mikhail Pervukhin"



Hello,

I hope you're doing well.

The Russian Wikipedia has a detailed biography of the early 20th-century Russian science fiction writer and journalist Mikhail Konstantinovich Pervukhin ↗ (1870–1928).

There is currently no English Wikipedia article for this literary figure (note: a different Soviet politician shares a similar name and has an article). Would you be willing to help translate key sections (e.g., biography, creativity / works, publications) into English, or expand / create a new English Language wiki page using the Russian one as the primary source? The article covers his life, pseudonyms, notable alternative history and fantasy works (like "The Second Life of Napoleon"), associations with Chekhov / Tolstoy / Gorky, and more.

I would work myself to get this translated, but I don't have an editing history on wikipedia and in this particular case I would have a conflict (in other words, it would be against wikipedia best practice for me to do this translation myself).

Thank you very much for considering this. Wylfings Publishing (talk) 19:11, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

:Hello, I can translate then within a few days, after finishing editing elsewhere. <span style="font-family:Impact; font-size:100%; color:#E0E0E0; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:1px; text-shadow: 0 0 3px #000, 1px 1px 2px #000, 2px 2px 3px #222, 3px 3px 4px #000;">Brandmeister</span> <sup>talk</sup> 09:00, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
