[edit] Saint Amphilochios article
Thank you for the article on Saint Amphilochios. However, for legal reasons, we cannot accept articles that have been copied from external websites.
The article has been deleted; if you wish to re-create it, you may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Understand? DS 13:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
I am the other of this article! I have published it also at my website "Saint Job Journal". The article is my own work!
[edit] Sources
Okay. I understand what you're saying, but the problem is: what evidence do we have that you are the author of the article? Anyone could say "I wrote that".
So, if you want to let the article be on Wikipedia (and first, let me make sure you understand: if your article is on Wikipedia, that means that other people are allowed to change it. Are you sure you want that?), here is what you should do.
On the bottom of the page at the Saint Job's Journal website, you should put in a sentence saying something about how "I, Roman Zacharij, the author of this article, release it under the terms of the GFDL."
Once that's done, you can re-submit the article to Wikipedia, and include a note that it was originally published on the SJJ site.
Okay? DS 16:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Check my Saint Job's Journal again. Below the essay on Saint Amphilochios I have added a clear statement that it is me who is the author of that article and that I am sharing it also with Wikepedia. If you find some addition material on Saint Amphilochios (for that you need to be fluent in Ukrainian or Russian at least), as in English I have not found any material on him, feel free to add to my wikepedia article. Remember we dont live in the communist time where religion was considered opium for the people (at least not in Ukraine today, perhaps in Canada it is so). The religious phenomena and countless lives of Catholic and Orthodox saints should be presented in an objective Orthodox / Catholic style (what we have right to) not in the communist atheistic disbelieving manners. God bless you! Roman Zacharij 16:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comment
Okay, the GFDL notice on the page at the SJJ is fine (and I notice you specified that it was only that article, which is good also; if you want to release other articles, you'll have to do them individually as well). I'm sorry you were upset, but we do have to be fairly strict about copyright problems here - imagine how you would feel if someone else had submitted it to Wikipedia, without telling you!
Oh, and for future reference, you should leave people messages on their talk pages, not their userpages. DS 16:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
- I am a Christian and I do not lie. At least I try to act according with moral principles. Roman Zacharij 16:53, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

- That's fine - but, like I said: until you added the GFDL notice to the original article on the SJJ, we had no way of knowing that you were REALLY Roman Zacharij. We've had this sort of problem before - people saying "oh, of course I wrote that article! Trust me!", and then it turned out that they had nothing to do with it, and just didn't think there was anything wrong with what they were doing.

- If everyone acted according to moral principles, this would be a much better world - but not everyone does. You understand that, I'm sure! DS 21:59, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ukrainian topics
Hi there! I see that you edit Ukraine-related topics. Let me add a link to Ukraine portal at Wikipedia where you can find several links of interest if you want to contribute to the Ukraine-related topics. Also don't forget to announce your newly created Ukraine-related articles at the new article announcement board. By the way, I see that you have a online photogallery about Kiev. Would you allow us to upload your images here with whatever licence you choose? Cheers, —dima/s-ko/ 20:22, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links
Thanks for your effort to add external links to Ukraine. May I ask you to go through them one more time and purge some of them. We have to be very selective with them as the list of good links for such a broad topic as Ukraine can grow infinetely. As a rule of thumb, links to commercial sites are to be avoided in most cases. I thought I would rather ask you than go through your links myself, since it would take me longer to sort out through the links that you already know. Thanks, --Irpen 17:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Petrushevych
Kudos for creating the article. Could you please add the reference section in the end and quote the sources you used? I do not doubt anything you wrote but if we are to DYK article, lack of sources might derail the nomination. TIA, --Irpen 01:39, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Happy New Year!
