[edit] License tagging for Image:Roman Nose, Fort Laramie, 1868.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Roman Nose, Fort Laramie, 1868.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] Arseny Golenishev-Kutuzov

In this article title, his first name is spelled "Arseny", but in the article itself, it's spelled "Arseniy". Which one did you intend to use? Thank you, ugen64 22:31, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bolding Cyrillic names

Please stop bolding Cyrillic names of Russian rulers. This does not comply with WP:STYLE. As the project is English, there is no need to shout Russian names. Ask User:Ezhiki for details. --Ghirla -трёп- 10:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Five/The Mighty Handful

I'm putting my response on your talk page, as well as at the page's discussion page, so that you see it.

    • What would it change if "those Frenchies", as you choose to call them, had been involved? I made the change and I'm an American. I do happen to be a French music specialist. Does this make me unqualified to discuss this article?
      • This isn't about how people "prefer" this group to be called: this is about standard English usage as is practiced in English-speaking countries. To quote Wikipedia:Naming_conventions
      • "articles should be optimized for readers over editors; and for a general audience over specialists."
      • I made the change because this is how this group is usuually refered to in English, as these very "standard" references prove. This is the English lanuage section of Wikipedia. I think that it's perfect that you use "Могучая кучка" in the Russian Language version, but most sources in English use "The Five". You will notice that after I made the name change, i also added the other names by which this group is known, as translated into English. Most English speakers will find "The Five" and then they will find the knowledge that, in Russian, this group is known as "The Mighty Handful". It seems to me that this will further people's education, since they won't know to look for the "Mighty Handful", but they WILL look for "the Five".
      • The change was made almost a month ago and no one has noticed before. Perhaps you might want to bring this point up for discussion at the discussion page of the Wikiproject for composers and see what the general reaction is. Cordially Musikfabrik 19:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boris Godunov (opera)

Can you help? Someone today changed occurrences of "Rimsky-Korsakov" to "Rimskiy-Korsakov" in the article Boris Godunov (opera). This is probably just another way to anglicize that name. The problem is that Rimsky-Korsakov is the version used elsewhere on Wikipedia.

I couldn't find any other time where "Rimskiy-Korsakov" was used in Wikipedia, except in one edit of yours back on 20 August 2006.

Anyway, since you do so much on this article, you should know which way is the correct way to do the name. Could you check this? Shenme 06:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
