Hello, I'm Skingo12. I noticed that in this edit to Dmitry Soin, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Skingo12 (talk) 15:51, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Dmitry Soin, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Dmitry Soin. M.Bitton (talk) 16:15, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Further comments relating to your recent editing

I see that you have received rather brusque treatment in response to your attempts to correct what you believe to be inaccurate and unfair coverage of Dmitry Soin. I hope the following comments may help.

1. This is the English language Wikipedia, and all content should be in English. You can't reasonably expect most readers and editors of English Wikipedia to understand Russian, and part of the reason for your lack of sympathetic response may be that editors don't know what you have said to explain your actions.
2. Despite what I have said under point 1 above, unfortunately many editors are unsympathetic to new editors who are trying to correct errors in this kind of situation, and often sincere attempts by good-faith editors to remove libel are not given serious consideration. I don't know what is right or wrong in this case, but I am willing to try to help as far as I can. Please feel welcome to contact me if you wish to. There are several ways of doing that, but one way is to post a message on my talk page.
3. If the Dmitry Soin believes that content of the article about him is inaccurate then I suggest reading Wikipedia:Contact us/Article subjects, which offers advice on how to deal with that situation. If there are problems which require more serious intervention than that page offers, you can look at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Dealing with articles about yourself, and the following sections of that policy, "Legal issues" and "How to contact the Wikimedia Foundation".
4. Since you evidently personally know Dmitry Soin, you should be aware that Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest recommends considerable caution in editing about him. I suggest that you read that guideline.
5. We do not, and cannot, base decisions on what content is suitable for an article on what someone who has chosen to create a Wikipedia account says. Anyone can create a Wikipedia account, and we get many thousands of accounts created by people who seek to make unacceptable changes, in various ways, including deliberate vandalism, good-faith but mistaken editing, attempts to make Wikipedia support a particular point of view which they support, attempts to suppress information which they know is true but do not wish to have seen, and so on and so on. Consequently Wikipedia policy is that article content should reflect what published reliable sources say, not what someone who has created a Wikipedia account tells us we should say.
6. I have found numerous sources which support the content that you removed, or at least the essential elements of it. I do not know enough about those sources to be sure how reliable they are, but if you are to succeed in having the content removed you will need to provide good reasons why those sources should not be regarded as reliable sources.
