If you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to anounce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.
Again, welcome!--Irpen 18:07, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the articles! Enjoy your award and feel free to move it to your userpage. Ukrainian Christianity is a very fascinating topic and your input is very much welcomed. Development of the topic's coverage is something we all are looking forward to. Please check out the Category:Christianity in Ukraine and, its flagship article History of Christianity in Ukraine (which still needs much work), to see if you would like to help. Thanks, --Irpen 19:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Listing sources

I noticed that you relied extensively on the OrthodoxWiki articles. There is nothing wrong with that as the OW is GFDL and allows to be copied. Just please add the references to the OW articles to the Wikipedia articles you create. Thanks again! --Irpen 05:42, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy

Hi there! I've noticed that you've edited articles pertaining to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the WikiProject dedicated to organizing and improving articles on the subject, which can be found at: WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy. This WikiProject was begun because a need was perceived to raise the level of quality of articles on Wikipedia which deal with the Eastern Orthodox Church.

You can find information on the project page about the WikiProject, as well as how to join and how to indicate that you are a member of the project. Additionally, you may be interested in helping out with our collaboration of the month. I hope you'll consider joining and thank you for your contributions thus far! —Preost talk contribs 14:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note on adding full Eastern Orthodox Project to your watchlist

This is a note for members of the Eastern Orthodox Project: Since the project's main page has been converted to a portal-style box format, each of the boxes is actually its own page (you can see the page outside its box by clicking the 'Edit' link on any often the section boxes on the project page, which takes you to the edit page for its contents). Because of this, updates to individual box contents will not necessarily show up on editors' watchlists, if you've only got the main project page watched.

In order to keep up to date with all updates to the Project and its pages, I'd recommend adding each subpage to your watchlists. These are:

If you add all of the above pages to your watchlist, you should be informed whenever any part of the WikiProject Eastern Christianity is edited/updated. To discuss this, please see the relavent section of the Project's talk page. —Antonios Aigyptostalk 09:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Mjuocc.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Mjuocc.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 19:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

As you are an Orthodox Ukrainian and a major contributor to the relevant articles i have a question for you. Somebody wrote in the Russian WP article ru:Украинская автокефальная православная церковь (обновленная) which is under archbishop Igor (Isichenko) that he is within the jurisdiction of The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA and thus is canonically under the Ecumenical See. It looks quite fishy to me, but i do remember there have been some reports about Vsevolod Maidansky saying or doing something to this effect a few years ago. Would you be in a position to clarify the matter? Muscovite99 (talk) 16:46, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. You might have missed this nuance: the jurisdiction the ru WP article refers to is not exactly UAOC but a kind of a split-off group based in Kharkiv, i understand.Muscovite99 (talk) 16:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Christianity

Hello Calak!

You are cordially invited to participate in WikiProject Christianity

The goal of WikiProject Christianity is to improve the quality and quantity of information about Christianity available on Wikipedia. WP:X as a group does not prefer any particular tradition or denominination of Christianity, but prefers that all Christian traditions are fairly and accurately represented.

You are receiving this invitation because you are a member of one of the related Christianity Projects and I thought that you might be interested in this project also - Tinucherian (talk) 16:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
