[edit] Ukrainian portal for WP

Hi, I was noticing you contributing to Ukraine related articles and I am very glad Ukrainian topics get more constructive editors. Recently, I helped Zscout370 a little bit with maintenance of the Russian Wikiportal he recently created. Browsing around I saw once more how little Ukraine is covered in WP compared to other countries and histories. Of course Russia is much bigger and much more in the news but still, the coverage of Ukrainian topics in WP needs to be expanded dramatically. Based on RU portal I created a draft version of Ukrainian portal at my user space. Please check it out at User:Irpen/uawp. Please do whatever you like with sections, layout, content, etc. In a couple of days I would like to have it exposed to the community, by moving it to Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Ukraine and placing it into a couple of major UA articles, like Ukraine, Ukrainian language, etc, similarly to the link to RU portal placed in Russia article. Hopefully, it will bring more exposure and editors to Ukrainian topics. In the meanwhile, please play with it in your free time. Also, I placed a link there to a warning for editors to be a little timid while still being bold in view of recent cases of, probably good willing, bud a little short-tempered novice editors who roamed in Ukrainian language, Ukraine and Kiev articles with changes of terminology that stirred up the hornet's nest. So I would be grateful for your contribution to the portal, if you have time. Thanks! -Irpen 18:31, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

Hi again, pls take a look at Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board -Irpen 04:03, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Transnistria

Hi again, this article and it's talk page became totally impossible to handle. Again, I feel bad about how some editors commented on your participation there. I can't see how the bias there can be addressed right now so that any non-miniature moderation would stay unreverted. If you feel like doing something there, I will try to help. Otherwise, I plan to leave it to evolve wherever it is going to be steered and wash my hands off for now. Maybe we could improve the History of Christianity article in this case? Regards, -Irpen 00:38, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

I added "Protestanism in Ukraine" section to the History of Ukrainian Christianity article...not sure if it was a right thing to do, since this article's focus is on Orthodox Christianity (if you tape "Ukrainian Orthodox" in wikipedia it even redirects you to this page). Also something should be done about "Distinguishing between church bodies" section. In its current form it is a story of Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC) which is rather marginal in modern Ukraine. I think this section should be replaced by a brief history of Unia vs. Orthodox rivalry and UOC-MP vs. UOC-KP rivalry.

PS: Why didn't you moved your project to Wikiportal/Ukraine ? (Fisenko 04:56, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC))

I will get back on Christianity topics later on. As for the portal, you are right. Michael and I should have moved it by now. There was a little problem with different browsers handling the layout differently but perhaps we should move it anyway if we are not getting to this small-time debugging. I will let you know soon. Cheers, -Irpen 07:32, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

I don't feel right now like saying anything at talk:Transnistria 'cause I had enough aggravation when tried to talk normally with some short-tempered editors there, so I thought I leave you a note in case you would like to keep talking there. There are several interesting articles I found in www.zerkalo-nedeli.com archive search. This week's Zerkalo has an article and I thought I search this very respectable paper for more info. Search for "Приднестровье" in the paper's archive gives dozens of articles. Among the first ones I read, these have useful info for the article. There is certainly more if one looks through all search results.

I might return myself trying to edit the article but not within next days because it requires setting aside too much time to respond to Duca's outbursts if I want anything done and not reverted. I won't have time for this in the next days. Regards, Irpen 04:45, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New articles

Dear colleague, don't forget to announce new Russia-related articles here. Best wishes, Ghirlandajo 09:09, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Severyn Nalivaiko

Thanks for starting this one. The article on Petro Doroshenko is also long overdue. --Ghirlandajo 17:43, 12 September 2005 (UTC)


thanks for filling in Dmitry Kozak!--chaizzilla 23:25, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vladislav Surkov

The original Der Spiegel interview is in their paid archive: http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,361084,00.html , but the Russian translation is available on a trustworthy, non-"yellow" site: http://www.inosmi.ru/translation/220396.html . Should we restore the deleted info with Der Spiegel link added as reference?

You can mention the article info at the end, but I would not change his place of birth and name though, since all the official biographies of Surkov state that he is an ethnic Russian born in Lipetsk region. PS I remember reading one Der Spiegel interview with Surkov on www.inopressa.ru, there was a lot about Surkov's political view and talk about "western conspiracies" trying to undermine Putin, but nothing about him being an ethnic Chechen or being born in Chechnya.Fisenko 02:32, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

If you're talking about this interview: http://www.inopressa.ru/spiegel/2005/06/20/16:58:17/surkov then it's there: "-У вас тоже есть кавказские корни? - Да, мой отец – чеченец. Первые пять лет своей жизни я провел в Чечне. Как человек, который рос там, я могу сказать: Чеченская республика должна оставаться с Россией. Все остальное можно обсуждать."


[edit] St. Volodymyr's Cathedral

I would welcome your attention to this article and its talk. Thanks, --Irpen 06:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mazepa ride

Ivan_Mazepa#The_Mazeppa_Ride by anon: Is this consider historical, or it is an Urban legend or just a hoax invented by whoever anon wrote it? I just never heared of the story which of course does not mean much. --Irpen 05:55, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

I have never heard this story as well. I'll try to google search it ... Fisenko 06:03, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I will also try to inquire and let you know if I find any confirmation of this bizzare story. --Irpen 06:05, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cities of Russia

While I find your expansion of the articles commendable, I'd like to ask you not to edit Ryazan, Yaroslavl, Suzdal and small historic towns to the north of Moscow. These are part of my to-do list and I have some plans as to their eventual layout. Thanks, Ghirlandajo 09:26, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Okay I wasn't planning to expand historic towns of central Russia anyway. I'll focus on neglected stubs about cities in southern Russia such as Stavropol, Krasnodar etc. as well as Volga-Ural region cities such as Perm,Ufa etc. Fisenko 09:31, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Please check a new attack by user:Molobo. His contributions should be constantly scrutinized, as we may never know where he strikes again. --Ghirlandajo 09:37, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image of Serbs

Hi. Can you tell me why you are changing picture of Serbs? Please see talk page of that article. There was voting for pic, and there is no reason to change it. Best regards, --M. Pokrajac 15:04, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Fisenko, I support your image. Perhaps you would consider replacing Mila Jovovic with someone more Serb representative, perhaps an author, like Dositej Obradovic. 65.8.28.24 23:13, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I'll leave the image up to Serbian Wiki editors. Serbs old image inspired my own for the article about Russians btw. Fisenko 23:15, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] article names for Ukrainian cities

Please take a look at the entry I left at talk:Putyvl in response to your message. I hope you will agree. Although this is kyt and kit issue, it is resolvable.

If you are interested to see a detailed discussion on the issue, please check Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ukrainian_subdivisions#How_the_city_name_is_spelled_in_English. Regards, --Irpen 08:38, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Halibutt

I think you would be interested in voting here, especially as there are voices that Halibutt is an anti-Russian (Ukrainian, etc.) POV-pusher. --Ghirlandajo 23:30, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Mind if I asked what made you think I would be a bad admin? Halibutt 23:15, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. WikiThanks.
I would like to express my thanks to all the people who took part in my (failed) RfA voting. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! I was also surprised by the amount of people who stated clearly that they do care, be it by voting in for or against my candidacy. That's what Wiki community is about and I'm really pleased to see that it works.
As my RfA voting failed with 71% support, I don't plan to reapply for adminship any more. However, I hope I might still be of some help to the community. Cheers! Halibutt 05:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ilya Yefimovich Repin

Don't you consider Repin's contribution to Ukrainian culture significant enough to be mwntioned in the article?--AndriyK 17:02, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Aside from Zaporozhian Cossack painting majority of his contributions were clearly to Russian culture. The article already mentions the fact he was born in Ukraine, but I'm not sure it is enough to call him a Ukrainian painter. For example someone like David Burliuk would be a Ukrainian painter, while Taras Shevchenko would be Ukrainian poet, but Mikhail Bulgakov (just like Repin) Ukrainian-born Russian writer.

Fisenko 17:50, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Zaporozhian Cossack painting was not the only his contribution to Ukrainian culture. Repin is indeed different from Bulgakov, who indeed contributed only to Russian culture. Read more about it. Then we discuss. OK? --AndriyK 19:08, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Repin has a lot of paintings to mention him as ukrainian painter. Adv94 09:57, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits

I have noticed that you mark some of your edits as minor whereas in fact they aren't. Since it may bother some people, I advice you to read Wikipedia:Minor edit.  Grue  07:50, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Case against Molobo

If you have had troubles with user:Molobo, please add the summary of his abuses to my note here. I believe we should stand united against his nationalist spree. Thanks, Ghirlandajo 14:31, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RfAr

An arbitration request against User:AndriyK has been filed. If you intend to participate/co-sign, please add your name to the "Involved parties" section and write a statement. --Irpen 22:01, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm rather confused about the format of RfAr page and not sure where and in what form my statement against AndriyK unexplained edits of articles should be. Fisenko 18:40, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

I will make a section for your statement, and you can add it then. Please make sure you read the rest. --Irpen 19:18, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Statement_by_party_11_.28User:Fisenko.29 is a section for your statement. Please read the rest of statements first. ArbCom has less to do with content disputes, but it is about the general user behavior. I see no way for him to get away with what was documented and presented by other compliants. Thanks for the recent articles, BTW. Those were long time overdue. --Irpen 19:27, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Grigoriev

Hi and thanks for the article. Could you please check User_talk:Halibutt#Nikifor_Grigoriev? See also Vadim Yakovlev. Besides, since you added yourself to AndriyK's arbcom case, you are entitled to a statement there. OTOH, you are of course under no obligation to make a statement if you prefer so. Cheers, --Irpen 19:59, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of heroes of the Russian Federation

Thanks for the new articles, and please don't forget to list them in the List of heroes when appropriate. --Ghirlandajo 07:56, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ArbCom accepted

This is the generic message left at several editors' talk pages in relation to the ArbCom case Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Community_vs._User:AndriyK. Since the fourth ArbCom member has recently voted to accept the case, the case is now considered accepted by the ArbCom as per Arbitration Policy. Please make sure your statement for the ArbCom is on the page if you are willing to write one (OTOH, being named as a party does not require you to make a statement, it just gives you a right to write one) and please make sure your statement is proofread if you wrote it earlier. Please, also, make sure your statement is in the appropriate place of the ArbCom page and not interjecting with others' statements. You are welcome to read up on the Wikipedia:Arbitration_policy and the associate pages.

--Irpen 04:00, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/AndriyK has been accepted. Please place evidence on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/AndriyK/Evidence. Proposals and comments may be placed on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/AndriyK/Proposed decision. Fred Bauder 02:26, 28 November 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Koniuchy massacre

Hello, take a look at this. It has no Russian/Lithuanian name, so I was not able to find any data on this outside wiki. I don't see how Moscow, incorrect Russian spellings, Naliboki are relevant to the subject. It seems that the only rationale for this article is the hatred for Soviet partisans. And, of course, the article should be moved to Koniuchy Incident. Finally, we should finally start articles on real massacres of that war, such as Khatyn. --Ghirla | talk 10:10, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics Evolution from Russians

Why can't we include that?? It's an important issue which has been discussed much today, and a historical summary would be appropriate. A few other pages have it too. HotelRoom 15:30, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Transnistria again

The article is now protected, yet again, due to the edit wars. It is now being discussed and the discussion includes several reasonable editors (of course not without the not so reasonable ones, but, hey, that's inevitable). Anyway, I thought I'd let you know because there seems to be worth a try to make it a balanced article at last. --Irpen 20:50, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Irpen, and since I didn't respond to year New Year greeting in time, I wish you a Happy Old Style New Year on Jan. 14 :) Fisenko 20:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks and also Счастливого Рождества!, which is coming soon. But please, if you could set aside some time for Transnistria now, I think there is a better chance than ever that something could be done about improving it. Former Duca and Mihaitza (or whoever) reincarnated or are replaced by different fellas, but as I said, several reasonable editors finally got serious about this article too. Please help, if you can. --Irpen 20:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

How can I help if Transnistria page protected from editing ? Write my suggestions in a talk page ? Fisenko 16:29, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Exactly! --Irpen 21:53, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.

If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Bryansk old.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bryansk old.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

[edit] Talk:Transnistria#List_of_links_for_discussion

Hi Fisenko, since you appear in the log of Transnistria as one of the original "top contributors" to the page, you ought to come back from time to time and take a look at evolution of that page and its Talk page. Right now, we are having an informal poll on the inclusion, or not, of some links and we haven't had a lot of input yet from others. Talk:Transnistria#List_of_links_for_discussion If you have the time, please stop by and help the rest of us with your feedback and thoughts. Thanks! - Mauco 05:54, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Info on image, please

Please go to Image:Voronezh oldcity.gif and edit that image description page to give the source (URL, if online; ISBN, if scanned from a book; and if you've taken the image yourself, just say so) and the licensing status (the list of image copyright tags might be useful) of this image. All our images should have this information; images without source or license info will be deleted after seven days. Thank you. Lupo 07:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:A ovseenko.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A ovseenko.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lupo 07:51, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Russian National Unity

Please stop vandalism in the article. RNU in no way "mainstream" or "conservative". It is lie. Please stop inserting what you do not know.--Nixer 19:27, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transnistria

Fisenko, you used to be one of the top editors on Transnistria. In fact, you are still listed among the all time top contributors to that page. What happened? We have a lot of newcomers now, on that page. We could use an old-timer with experience in the region and a firm grip on the area's history. Please check out Talk:Transnistria and maybe even some of the most recent archives. - Mauco 07:40, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] no source

Image:Gerb_GRU.jpg has no source. You uploaded, so please specify one. --Ysangkok 22:27, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Russians in Latvia

I'm curious why you would state that the identity of "Latvian Russians" apart from Russia emerged only after 1917 when the (predominantly Latvian, but others as well) materials I've been reading indicate a timetable that roughly parallels that of Latvian nationalism, that is, going on at the same time. —Pēters J.
