[edit] Kosovo and Metohija

Just a small notice: Kosovo and Metohija are not plateaus but basins. Nikola 17:19, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ruthenia / Rus'

You recently made massive edits to Ruthenia, with no discussion on the talk page & a change comment telling people to see a non-existent article. I don't want to get into an edit war, but this is no way to deal with an article that has already been noted as controversial. Would you please explain on the talk page what you are doing and where (if anywhere) you have moved the bulk of the article? -- Jmabel 22:03, Jun 4, 2004 (UTC)

  • Answer in Jmabel's page. Short: explained Russian History Harmonisation. Also, I have added a comment to the Ruthenia discussion page. Drbug 22:12, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lvov/Lwów/Lviv/Lemberg/Leopolis

As to the Russian name: why do you think it's important? As Space Cadet said: the city belonged to Russia only for a few months during the World War I. Even after the World War II the Soviets kept the puppet Ukraine alive and the city name was officially Ukrainian. So in my opinion the Russian name is not more relevant than Swaheli or Spanish names - it's just a name used in a foreign country that did not even have a minority there, not to mention any control over the city whatsoever. Check the history section for more details. Halibutt 17:13, Jun 13, 2004 (UTC)

  • Ans. in Halibutt's and Lviv's pages. Short: yes, Russian name was the official and therefore no less relevant than Polish or German. Drbug 16:49, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ruthenia

Just wanted to say "hi". ;)

"I don't think use of word "Russian" may be derogatory for any valuable quantity of Ukrainians, BelAruSians, and Poles. What is really derogatory - attempt to diminish value of Russian history by inventing unnatural words - and I suppose, derogatory not only for modern Russians. (By the way, I'm 75% Modern Slavic Russian and 25% Modern BelAruSian). I'd propose to wait until any Ukrainian or BelAruSian will object to use adjective Russian for ancient Rus."

You got one vote from me. I do find the wording derogatory. There should be a clear difference between "рускі" (Ruthenian) and "расейскі" (Russian). We do have this in Belarusan. Best regards! :) rydel 14:26, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I'm happy to say you "hello" in return! :-)
Thank you for your vote!
Your participation should make the Wikipedia even better! However, I regret to say that I'm a bit concerned by your biased approach to analysing historical documents...
And also I'd like to ask you to keep in mind that it is English Wikipedia... By the way, wouldn't you participate be.wikipedia.org?
[[User:Drbug| Dr Bug ]] 21:34, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Well, I am just a newbie, and I don't know what's going on here, but it seems there isn't enough interest in Belarusan Wikipedia yet to warrant a separate be.wikipedia.org in our language. Maybe later when there will be more people interested in that. As for the bias I would like to you to explain that. I don't see where I was biased by deleting the word "separated." In any case, if Ruthenia is such a controversial item, I will just "unwatch" it and forget about all that. Although I would feel a bit bad that Stalin's and imperial Russian propaganda would prevail over facts in this open source encyclopedia. - rydel 22:15, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC).
Welcome! Your opinion is always welcome too, and it doens't matter that it is different. As for "separation", I don't disagree to remove it for that article - I don't think that possible unity does really matter in context of the article. I rather mention bias in your comments in the talk page... [[User:Drbug| Dr Bug ]] 23:33, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] historyofnations-.-net spam

historyofnations-.-net copies wikipedia content. The link is an old copy of History of Haiti (both of which are from public domain texts originally IIRC). I've removed dozens of similar links added with the misleading edit summary of 'adding internal link'. Maximus Rex 10:19, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Theodosius Dobzhansky

Hi, can you have a look at this guy's name. He was a Ukrainian, apparently born "Feodosy Grigorevich Dobrzhansky", also I've also seen it as Dobzhanskii, but can we have cyrillic script, and perhaps out of interest do you have the answer?

  • Done! [[User:Drbug| Dr Bug ]] 16:19, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Warsaw Uprising

I'm sorry, but I don't really get your point. I set up that page to ease the effort of several fellow wikipedians. It's not supposed to be anything but a place to correct the article before it is copyedited to where it should be (Warsaw Uprising). This way we can avoid stressing editing conflicts and it's easier to work if a framework is set. Otherwise, we'd have to create several empty sections in the Warsaw Uprising article and then fill them up with content. This would be much harder and would take much more time. Also, an average passer-by would get an impression that wikipedia is a place where unfinished or not-yet-ready articles with lots of typos and mistakes are accepted. Halibutt 15:50, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)

  • Ans. in Halibutt's page. Short: The main problem is loss of editing history (it is violations of the GFDL, BTW), and also there are many other minor problems. However, I don't oppose Halibutt's actions. Dr Bug (Volodymyr V. Medeiko) 20:45, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
In this very case I don't see a huge problem since we basically incorporated all the previous work in our new project. Perhaps it isn't clearly visible in the history ([1]), but that is because we made lots of corrections, both factual and grammatical. But just compare the content of the extended version with earlier versions - parts are almost unchanged, only their place in the article structure changed. We didn't break the edit history chain, all previous edits are still there. Unfortunately, we couldn't avoid changing their place so all previous edits are marked in red in the history section - but that is due to wiki software. Nothing can be done about it and the outcome would be practically the same if each one of us prepared his own part and then placed it at Warsaw Uprising. The only difference for the final user would be that instead of one place in history where the new version was inserted there would be three consecutive edits. Not really much of a difference. If you think that it might violate the GFDL in some way I could ask the other three contributors who prepared the present version what do they think or place a piece of info in the history informing a nitpicker that parts of the article history are at User:Halibutt/Warsaw Uprising.
Also, I don't really see other choice but to set up a temporary project page for the new project. Not only does it ease the work but also prevents common wikipedia users (as opposed to contributors who are notified about the project both in the main body of the old article and in the discussion) from encountering an unfinished version.
I know that the very idea of wiki is that no article is ever finished. However, we decided to prepare a complete article in short time, with a team of fellow wikipedians devoted solely to finishing the article as soon as possible. In this case both the way of editing the article and adding new content was different from the ussual "I'll add a sentence here, someone other adds a sentence there" stuff. Thanks to the project idea we could add new info without really caring to finish it before we save our work. That really helps. Halibutt 09:54, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC)

Здравствуйте!

В статье http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatarstan выдержка из конституции Татарстана в самом начале никакая ни сепаратистская, а нынешняя конституция , признаная Россией. Тем более, что "должна быть выслушана и другая сторона": исключительно "унитарно-федералистская" точка зрения не есть единственно правильное мнение. Проошу не править более данную цитату.

[edit] О слове "россиянин".

Простите, это слово использовали Карамзин и Ломоносов, причем оба в значении государственном, нежели (выражаясь современным языком) "национальнoм". Вы не правы, хотя Ваше мнение -- широко распространенное. Forgive me, but you are wrong in saying the word "Rossijanin" as used in the Russians article is newly invented: it was used by Karamzin and Lomonosov in referring to matters of state rather than (in modern terms) "ethnic" belonging. Your opinion is, however, widespread. A. Shetsen 05:36, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Tatar Cyrillic

Владимир! В заголовке в статье "Татарский алфавит" вы указали неверные сведения - правильный кириллический алфавит см в разделе "История письма". Стоит ли помещать кириллицу вперёд латиницы в статье? В интернете латиница используется активнее. Хамза обозначалась не апострофом (его вообще не было)- а буквами э, ъ, ь.

Владимир, здравствуйте! Вы полностью удалили статью <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idel-Ural" title="Idel-Ural">Idel-Ural</a>, даже видимо не попытавшись отделить "национализм" от правды. Как по-вашему, может быть стоит возродить статью, с пометками в её начале: "Содержит элементы пропаганды", но при этом основную часть информации передать. Тот же огрызок, что сейчас есть - тянет на стаб. К тому же там есть фраза "возродить Золотую Орду". Но это не есть правда - была попытка создать республику в границах Казанского ханства, на степи Орды Идель-Урал не претендовал. Хотя в этих-то вопросах, по-моему, кроме татар никто не разбирается...

Поработайте по совести - извлеките имена президента, данные об этнгическом составе (они не придуманы - это данные переписи). Может и хорошая статья получится. Кстати, Идель-Урал это ещё и книга пантюркиста Гаяза Исхаки (Ğayaz Нsxaqн).

[edit] Didn't mean to offend you

Sorry for changing your user page, Drbug. I added there ("To Do" section) a neutral statement fully applicable to the Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Citing:

  • to stop adding propagandist statements justified only by claims like "I know about Russia/Soviet Union much more than average wikipedian".

I didn't mean that DrBug himself does so. If DrBug agrees with this goal, he would surely confirm it here. And he will definitely forgive my impulsive emotional act (not a vandalism). My apologies again. AlexPU

I see that your intentions are noble, but your choice of words was poor. You probably meant to prevent people from adding propagandist statements justified only by claims like "I know about Russia/Soviet Union much more than average wikipedian".? Nikola 07:52, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I meant what I wrote because "to do" is probably made for other Wikipedians who read DRbug's page. And some of them, particularly Monedula, continuously push propaganda-type items and delete more neutral statements. For them my writing was. And BTW, I doubt we should "prevent" somebody from adding something in Wikipedia. It would be a gift for those confusing free encyclopedia with a Kremlin propagandist site.AlexPU

[edit] Comrade Vladimir!

Comrade Vladimir! Growing up in the Soviet Union, you have beeen propagandized more that most people in the free world, where there was at least a competition of ideas. Your vision is distorted by both an anti-soul socialism and a totalitarian Russian imperialism whose fulfillment requires the killing of millions, even to the point of genocide. Your vandalizing of Alex's contribution to this page only furthers your denial. This page is not yours--it's ABOUT you. If it were yours, you'd be the only person with access! Wikipedia is a chance to broaden knowledge--which doesn't work when someone's mind is closed.

I know it can be difficult to find out you were lied to in basic allegiances from childhood. But get over the hump--on the other side is the lush valley of freedom, where you CAN, with work and discernment, find truth! Genyo 21:25, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Eastern Front

Hi Vladimir, We've recently started work on World_War_II_wikireader and I’ve noticed there is a great lack of articles and content covering the Eastern Front of the World War II. Now since you are Russian, would you care in helping out a bit, especially with the articles on Soviet Union's military and political leaders. GeneralPatton 18:56, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, that's great, we need more people with a more European view of WWII. especially considering how important the Eastern Front was. GeneralPatton 16:25, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] User:Genyo

You know, Genyo can sometimes be some sort of a pest. All I'm asking you for is to provide some documentation to him that what he claims to be the truth is actually artificial, since you probably know a lot more than me in that field. It'll give him a taste of his own medicine. Marcus2 13:51, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Marcus, thank you for your noble entry adding support to my request. Vladimir/Volodymyr, could you tell us more about your Shelukhin and Polish fabrication theories? Genyo 14:42, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Marcus, you definitely have something to do with medicine, alcohol and so forth (as I found out from your user page):)). Making such risky judgements on your fellow Wikipedians as "pest", you should expect something similar in responce. If you want to offend Genyo personally, please do it by E-mail or do not at all. Follow my example: I would like to characterize some of DrBug's allies with so many taboo words that you'll never learn them in such quantity. But I don't.

Despite your opinion on Genyo, what he claims is usually truth (may be presented emotionally). And believe me, Dr.Medeiko has nothing to provide for opposite. Except casuistic support for more straightforward propagandists like Monedula.

And also, Marcus, If you're interested in Russian/Soviet history, DO NOT RELY ON DOCUMENTATION HEAVILY. The only reliable here sometimes could be those stolen or lost. Please understand that Russia (Ukraine as well) is not like New York state. It's a pretty different civilization (agree, Mr. Medeiko?) of Byzantine origin. Documents here are issued not for fixing the reality, but mostly for distorting it (like hiding crimes or falsing somebody's guilt). You just can't imagine the life here. We, Dr.Bug and I, live here and realize this (but he's too ashamed to admit). I strongly recommend you to visit Russia (Ukraine, Belarus so forth). Your vision of life would broaden a lot.AlexPU

[edit] Historical administrative division of Russia

Hi, Vladimir! I've just started a new series of articles (History of the administrative division of Russia) and am wondering if you could review (and possibly monitor) them, as you are clearly more knowledgeable about the history of Russia than I am. I am somewhat concerned about the names of regions and places in English, especially those located around the borders of Russia and Ukraine. I am trying my best to find the most accurate English equivalents, but you surely have more information on them since you work on Russian-Ukrainian issues so much. There is not much to check so far, but I have tons of information on the topic, and a lot of it covers the territory of modern-day Ukraine, so there will definitely be major inaccuracies in translation on my part in future.

It is a discussion forum for wikipedians interested in all things Russian. Also, each week we pick an unfinished stub article to improve through collaboration.

Russian Collaboration of the Week

Every week, a lacking Russian topic is picked to be the Russian Collaboration of the Week.
The current RCOTW is Vostochny.

Notice boards and Collaborations-Of-The-Week have become increasingly popular on wikipedia reciently, with Irish, British, US and many more. There is also a score board for competing collaborations! See FAC.

Isn't it about time we got articles on Russia up to standard?

Hope to see you on RWNB!

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] Ruotsi, Rootsi

I wonder if you are aware that some scholars claim that Rus' derives from "ruotsi" or "rootsi".

Ruotsi is "Sweden" in modern Finnish. "Rootsi" is "Sweden" in modern Estonian, this is also an adjective.

By the way, in modern Estonian "Russians" are not Rus' or Rossiya-related, but "venelased", or "people of vene" (compare to veneds of Romans), Russia is Venemaa, the Land of Vene. Similar is true also in Finnish language, where "russians" or "rus'" do not exist.

[edit] Cut-and-paste moves

Hi, you used a cut-and-paste move to move Kharkiv and Kharkov around. Please don't do cut-and-paste moves, as it separates the article from its history, which we need to keep for Wikipedia:Copyright reasons. Please use WP:RM for help with moves if the "Move this page" link/tab doesn't work. I will fix this one - have you done any others? Thanks. Noel (talk) 00:31, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

PS: I don't usually check other User_talk: pages (so that I don't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person with whom I am having a "conversation"), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above); if you leave a message for me here I probably will not see it. I know not everyone uses this style (they would rather keep all the text of a thread in one place), but I simply can't monitor all the User_talk: pages I leave messages on. Thanks!

[edit] О незаконных блокировках в русском секторе

Здравствуйте, Владимир Владимирович!

Не знаю уже кому и пожаловаться на произвол в Вашем секторе. В Википедии я недавно (где-то с февраля), но за за этот срок был пять раз заблокирован хулиганствующим администратором Ярославлевым. Хроника событий примерно такая (точные даты можно узнать из журнала блокировок):

1-ая блокировка, примерно 25 февраля, администратором С.Л., без объявления срока, без объявления на личной странице.

2-ая блокировка, 27 февраля, администратор Ярославлев, объявлена как бессрочная, поставлена поверх предыдущей. Для участия в Арбитраже через пару недель была снята.

3-ая блокировка в середине марта в день обсуждения на Арбитраже моих претензий к Ярославлеву. Разумеется,- тем же Ярославлевым. Обе блокировки были сняты Арбитражем.

4-ая блокировка, 24 апреля, на срок в три дня, администратор Ярославлев.

5-ая блокировка, 28 апреля, на срок в три дня, администратор Ярославлев.

Всё это является глумлением надо мной, за мои правки в статье Новая Хронология (Фоменко). Конфликт произошёл из-за хамских и немотивированных откатов участника MaxSem, как это и было признано на Арбитраже. Первые три блокировки были инспирированы MaxSem'ом.

Последние две блокировки связаны с процессом выбора MaxSem'a в администраторы Википедии. Ярославлев предварительно заблокировал меня, чтобы я не успел к началу голосования, а потом почти сразу же после разблокировки (на следующий день). Можно видеть, что MaxSem с Ярославлевым являются неразлучной парой в Википедии, совместно глумятся над новичками и уничтожают чужую работу (под оскорбительными и надуманными предлогами). В их группу входят и другие участники, сделавшие хулиганство в Википедии своим основным развлечением. Администратор Ярославлев является их покровителем и защитником - для того только он и пролез на эту должность. Теперь туда же лезет и MaxSem. Несколько раз поднимался вопрос о снятии с Ярославлева администраторских полномочий (обсуждение сразу же глушится блокировками со стороны Ярославлева), и новый администратор-хулиган нужен этой компании как раз в связи с этой ситуацией возможной потери защитника.

Я обращался по поводу этой ситуации к администратору MaxMaxMax, но это ни к чему осмысленному не привело. Он входит в "группу поддержки" MaxSem, или не желает себе хлопот от этого хулигана. Может быть хоть здесь я найду какую-то управу на обнаглевших гопников, хотя, честно говоря - не очень надеюсь на это.

Мда. Просто нет слов. Складывается впечатление, что писать статьи в русском разделе Википедии неимоверно сложно - вандалами и троллями являются практически все админы и многие участники, остальные входят в группу поддержки. MaxiMaxiMax 16:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Именно так и есть. Чем больше статей в русском секторе делаешь, тем больше времени приходится проводить на страницах обсуждений, пытаясь защитить работу от невежественных "кастраторов", которые в жизни не прочитали ни одной книжки, но администрирующих русский сектор под девизом гы-гы-гы неынцыклопедично!. Любой грамотный человек (примеров ни счесть, — хотя бы тот же А. Левитас, или Messir) становится объектом хамских нападок "кастраторов" и их анонимных клонов (вроде непотопляемого WrongMana, с помощью которого лично Вы изливаете свою неприязнь на неугодных участников) и выдавливается из Википедии, становится "мёртвой душой" для отчётности Вотякова. Вы сознались, что ждёте, что добрый заморский дяденька переведёт статьи английского сектора в русский. А пока — гуляй душа, трави русских участников! Мне кажется, что эта неафишируемая политика нынешней администрации РВП находится в вопиющем противоречии с целями проекта. Без уважения к Вам лично и к Вашей "команде". А.Б.

[edit] "Мёртвые Души"

Сообщаю о следующем подлоге со стороны нынешних администраторов Русской Википедии. На многочисленных административных страницах ни в одном месте не указываются правила, которыми сообщество руководствуется при эксплуатации личных страниц. И это не случайный просчёт, а продуманная практика. Опишу свой случай. Я вступил в резкий конфликт с активным большинством Википедии, включая её администраторов, и в итоге потребовал удаления своих личных данных из неё, публично объявив о своём уходе. В ответ администратор и бюрократ Вотяков заблокировал от меня мою же личную страницу!, на моей странице обсуждения хозяйничают мои враги — именно те люди, из-за которых-то я и покинул проект (в частности, виртуал самого Вотякова — Wrong Man, безнаказанно хулиганящий в русском секторе).

Данные действия имеют своей целью не только глумление над рядовым участником, осмелившимся бросить вызов обнаглевшим административных хамам, но и прямой подлог содержания деятельности этих хамов. Они скрывают, что благодаря их "усилиям" проект покинули сотни грамотных участников, не пожелавшие тратить своё время на непрестанную войну с невежественными пачкунами и администрирующими гопниками. Посмотрим же список участников, покинувших проект!! Там стоит только одна невразумительная позиция. Остальные (во время моего краткого знакомства с Русской Википедией её демонстративно покинули 3 человека, не считая бессрочно заблокированных, которых за то же время набралось с несколько десятков, это только те, с кем я пересекался на каких-то страницах, вообще же их должно быть в десять раз больше). Таким образом невежественные и некультурные администраторы пытаются создать впечатление, что в проекте работает множетство учёных, писателей, специалистов, хотя на самом-то деле всех этих людей вытолкнули из проекта после десятка статей. А теперь в Русской Википедии хозяйничают самые низменные отбросы российского интернета, возглавляемые их лидером — Вотяковым. А.Б. Верёвкин, 12-50, 6 мая, 2006

А почему, собственно, мы должны верить Вам, а не им? И в чём смысл размещения Ваших тирад на странице практически неактивного участника в английской Википедии? Я не могу Вас ни осуждать, ни поддерживать, поскольку не знаком с историей конфликта, но комментарии, подобные вышеприведённому, выглядят по меньшей мере нелепо и по большей — подозрительно. С уважением, —Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 15:47, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Я не батюшка, чтобы мне верить. И даже не партработник. Я не внушаю и ничего не рекламирую. Учу я тоже только в отведённом месте. Так что Ваш крик души мне непонятен. На эту страницу я пришёл по цепочке перенаправлений, когда пытался связаться с кем-то из администраторов, кому ещё можно доверять (пока они не доказали обратного). Я выяснил по дороге, что у половины администраторов русского сектора неработающие почтовые ящики (по крайней мере, ответов оттуда я не получил). А когда писал первые посты был заблокирован в русском секторе и не мог написать ничего на страницу обсуждения участника. А.Б. Верёвкин, 13 мая 2006, 12-30
Хоронить меня пока не надо :-). А смысл может состоять в том, что это крик души... D'''r''' B'''u'''g[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Drbug&action=edit&section=new &nbsp;] [[User:Drbug|(Volodymyr V. Medeiko)]] 18:03, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Особенно комично смотрится то, что его обсуждение заблокировал от переименования я, но г-н В. упорно считает меня MaxiMaxiMax'овым сокпаппетом) MaxSem 17:42, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
И вот мы видим очередное враньё обнаглевшего гопника. Нигде я не утверждал, что Семенник - клон Вотякова. Я не выяснял - по чьей команде хулиганят на моей странице обсуждений, мне было достаточно увидеть, что личную запер именно Вотяков, который с конца апреля трусливо уклоняется от обсуждения своих неправомочных действий.

[edit] Wikipedia:Russian History Harmonization

Hello there. I have a question for you, and I ask you not to get upset with it :-) I apoligise in advance if the question irritates you, but that was not my intention... So, the question is: is there a possibility of closing down of Wikipedia:Russian History Harmonization wikiproject? Now, why would I suggest something like that? Well, the project has became a dangerous precedent, see here: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject countering anti-Serb bias. Second point is that the project seems to be stalled. Talk page hasn't been touched in more than 2 years, and, except for one recent edit, the project page hasn't been touched in 6 months. Seems to me that there is no big need for this project, and it is making a lot of trouble as precedent for Wikipedia:WikiProject countering anti-Serb bias. Would you agree that your WikiProject should be put on WP:MFD? Please, don't get angry on me for proposing something like that :-) --Dijxtra 11:53, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it may be useful to have projects like that. However, I agree you that it is completely stalled and unusable in its present form (I was sorrow about this a month ago). So I decided to move it to my personal name space (evidently, nobody will oppose it) and possible later I will reshape it to more usable form, and maybe then I will invite people there. So, no need for WP:MFD. And of course I'm not angry. As for the Serb project, I will look there and maybe comment. Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 16:27, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attractive Russian WP-women

Dear Dr. Bug,

I know, it sounds silly and not very serious, but on behalf of the Bertelsmann Pro Futura Verlag I'm doing a book chapter about the people and persons behind the Wikipedia and THEREFORE I've to find interesting and (that's the silly thing) good looking interviewpartners, who wants to answer a few questions and who don't mind to appear in the book with a photo (this good-looking-thing doesn't sound good, but it is necessary, because it's an illustrated book, printed in best quality and high circulation).

My big request: If you know an interesting, intelletual and attractive russian WP-woman - would you be so kind and ask her, if she would answer me just a few questions.

Thank you very much in advance,

Hello, I have started corresponding with a Russian lady and her first note came written in what I believe to be Tatar.
