[edit] Wrongful block
{{unblock|Please review the block, check user if necessary. My editing the same article with that other user is hardly a reason for block. I edited countless other articles with many other users. --[[User:Hillock65|Hillock65]] 21:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)}}
I have unblocked you and User:Chuprinka. It looks like a misunderstanding to me. Alex Bakharev 23:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- I think you should know about this thread I started at WP:ANI that brought about many responses. --Irpen 23:10, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks --Hillock65 02:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

- I may not stay long though, I am just bored with Ukrainian wiki for the moment and besides, I always wanted to finish the Khmelnytsky article. There is a lot of work to be done, I may not have enough patience for all of it. --Hillock65 16:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

- Hillock, we had our share of content disagreements but I am glad that we were able to overturn the egregious block and the admin who issued finally seems to have gotten a message. Whatever (or even if) more content disagreements will follow, please consider staying and, trust me, things here are workable even if sometimes they seem the opposite. It's much more fun here than in uk-wiki which unfortunately has only about 20 active users and a rather dull POV uniformity (the latter is my impression which may be an uninformed one).

- I wouldn't characterize Ukrainian Wikipedia like that. It is just that right now there is a lull there, a couple of people have taken time off. I like it there way better than here, the joy there is in creating things rather than fighting with other editors, which seems to a problem with English wikipedia. In my previous experience I spent more time in conflict resolution and fighting vandalism rather than writing. If that is how one measures fun, than maybe....--Hillock65 04:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

No, fighting vandals is no fun as well as dealing with the nationalist POV pushers of all sorts. What is fun, though, is the diversity here that results in more balance most of the time. Some articles in uk-wiki are just great, but too many are unwikified copies of UE (I just love seeing UE articles there. Helps with sourcing but I would have preferred them buried deep in the article's history.) Some yet articles are just unacceptably POV and I do not want to go into naming names or articles. What is really alarming is how few editors edit it. I wrote there to Yakudza about that and I really do not understand why this being the case while there are millions who can write in the language and many of them must have the decent internet access. Whether the problem is with the lack of visibility or ideological rigidity or simply that some of the educated Ukrainians are drained to other more lively wikis, I don't really know.
Anyway, I will comment on your Khmelnytsky's expansion in the article's talk. --Irpen 05:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
