[edit] St Vitus Cathedral editing

Hey there. Thanks for your contribution to the article. However, you have removed a high quality featured photo when you have added the image of the net vaults. I know that the content of the photo somewhat overlaps, but perhaps you should not have removed it completely. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 19:14, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Lada and Lado

Thanks for your nice work on the article. Can you please look into other fake deities and customs linked from Slavic folklore? We are aware that the Wikipedia was recently molested by all kinds of neo-pagans, including Slavic and Wendish neo-pagans, who apparently rely on some speculative manuals in order to push their agenda. As the subject is obscure and the data is unreferenced, their additions have become a true pest. Several hours ago, such strange entries as peklo and rai (Slavic mythology) were finally deleted, but there are plenty of other fake articles around. --Ghirla | talk 11:26, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I have just read this article and really enjoyed it. It is thorough and very readable at the same time. However, I have found there a strange word "venetrated". Well, I am not a native English speaker either and dictionaries also do not know everything, but I suppose it is some mistake. (If not, accept my apology).

[edit] Slavic mythology

Thanks for your great work on Slavic mythology. Can you take a look at Book of Veles too? There are growing concerns on talk that the page should be modified so as to refer to the fact that the book is most likely a forgery. --Ghirla | talk 08:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Of course overlong articles are no good, but we may split some sections into separate articles if Slavic mythology becomes too lengthy. Talking about pre-Christianization Slavic writing systems, have you seen a mention of "strokes and incisions" in Chernorizets Hrabar? --Ghirla | talk 17:25, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey man, I read Slavic mythology and see that you have been a big contributor, just dropping by to let you know I'm going to nominate it for FAC. I think its one of the best mythology articles we have :) - FrancisTyers 13:55, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zbruch Idol

It's a new article. I thought you might want to check it. Cheers, Ghirla | ^-трёп- 16:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey there! Thanks for expanding the Zbruch Idol article I started today. The picture is awesome! Keep up the good work! See ya. KNewman 20:04, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Jarilo, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Architecture Wikiproject

Hi, many thanks for all your architecture and design edits. I was wondering if you might be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture. Also we've been revamping the Architecture Portal and nominations to Portal:Architecture/Selected picture candidates and Portal:Architecture/Selected article candidates will always be welcome.--Mcginnly 09:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject:Architecure Peer Review proposal

I'm trying to build a consensus for a Wikiproject Peer review process. I've opened a discussion page here. Would you like to comment? Would you be prepared to take part in the peer review process? Many thanks. --Mcginnly | Chinwag 12:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IG Farben Building FAC

Also, I posted the IG Farben Building on the FAC on the 17th July. It currently has a support consensus, but only from 4 people. I'd be more comfortable with a stronger consensus and was wondering if you might be prepared to comment on the article? Many thanks. --Mcginnly | Chinwag 12:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Slavic Mythology

They are from the Polish and Italian Wikipedias. However, no source is specified there, so I can't assure 100% they are not fakelore, but otherwise I don't see why one should come and add here such stuff inventing it from scratch. Let me know and good work. Ah, just a note: please don't be too much trustful in "standard" books in field which are wide like Slavic culture. Personally I am more involved in history, and I can assure you that 90% of books copy each from another, or at least their authors are unable to have or provide the reader a wider scope of the argument (as a manifest example, History of Sardinia in Italy - I'm Italian - has been always neglected, I imagine simply because a few people study it, or even know that there's something to study... otherwise, I can also assure you that in the 15th century Sardinia was as developed as the rest of Europe, or even more, although from 99% of bibliographies you can guess exactly the opposite. Oh, but it's just an example to ley you understand what I mean). Attilios 19:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you for what you wrote. The user who wrote the Italian articles is this guy it:user:Voron, he's Italian-Polish. It seems he has written a lot of articles about Slavic culture, including language and others, so I think it could be reasonable that the articles are serious, although unreferenced. Consider also that the list of different names in various language implies that probably a research has been done, though in some way we cannot know. What I disagree with you is the proposal for deletion: I don't think that specific fields deserves a policy of speed deletions for ALL unreferenced, only because they looks proner to "fakelore" or similia. If everybody started to do like you, 80% of Wikipedia articles will be deleted (not to speak of the additions made to already referenced articles). I think the unreference warning can be enough. Ciao and good work. --Attilios 19:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Architecture bulletin

WikiProject Architecture Bulletin v • d • e
Announcements please make an announcement v • d • e The Assessment department has opened its doors. You can help with assessment - please sign up and see page for details. In order to assess articles correctly we should establish a notability and importance policy for buildings - If anyone is interested in formulating such a policy, please contact User talk:Mcginnly. Portal:Architecture/New article announcements has been created to keep us all in touch with any new architecture articles we create, please add any you've created recently. Proposals are underway for the redesign of {{Regional-arch}}. Essentially it has been redesigned to be a full page width wide rather than the current "right hand panel" style which interfered with image placement in articles. Your comments would be very welcome and then we'll need to fix the formatting of all the current articles that hold these templates. User:Dogears has created a requested images department, add your architectural image requests, or sign up to be our official regional architecture photographer.	This month's collaboration is Architectural history.
