[edit] Titanic change

In the RMS Titanic article you recently edited you said 13 people were taken out of the water after the ship sank. I want to double check on who is right, what source are you using? (When you add up the numbers in the sentences afterwards it adds up to 9 people.) Thanks MechBrowman 00:52, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] e-mail

Ilya, I sent you an email using the "e-mail this user" link. Please check your mailbox. --Irpen 15:14, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I've read, but there is nothing related to articles' topics Ilya K 15:19, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, that is correct. --Irpen 15:46, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I replied to your message about Percentage of speakers at my own talk.

I think it is better to keep discussion in one page to preserve the context. Please keep an eye at my talk and thanks for moderating the horrible personal attack on me from user:AndriyK in ua-wiki. Is it OK if I respond to your messages at my talk? (I keep an eye on your talk also). --Irpen 19:01, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Take a look at this. --Irpen 00:22, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Dear Ilya, you may agree or disagree with me on issues but please check the actions of our compatriot. I am afraid that he is really giving us, Ukrainian editors, a bad name, hurting Ukrainian topics and the world peace. I have exhausted my patience trying to talk to him

On the side note, re your objection that google lists WP mirrors, true but it is easy to add "-wikipedia" to a google string. In fact it was tekn into account in update of the counts. Regards, --Irpen 20:22, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Russian architecture

Hi, You have put the POV tag on the top of the Russian architecture but forgot to explain your grievances. Unless, you eplain your problems with the article, I will have to remove the tag. abakharev 12:29, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] MozarT

I noticed that you tagged this redirect for speedy deletion, but it does not appear to qualify under any of the current speedy deletion criteria. The closest match appear to be criteria R4 (recently created typo), but as the redirect has been in existence since 7 February 2001 it hardly qualifies as recently created. If you still feel this redirect should be removed, please feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion. --Allen3 ^talk 13:44, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

And please read Wikipedia_talk:Redirects_for_deletion#CamelCase_redirects for discussion and a straw poll you can vote on about this issue. jni 13:48, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kuban

Will you trust 1926 USSR census that among Kuban population 62% were Ukrainians? Ilya K 16:41, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Russian Empire 1897 census - Kuban oblast http://demoscope.ru/weekly/ssp/rus_lan_97.php?reg=100

Great Russian 816734
Malorussian   908818

Did you read the census appendix that I have provided? It itself says not to trust it?Kuban kazak 17:58, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why Wikipedia Sucks

Well it does, really. I just want to say that your intervention was refreshing, I just read the Ukrainian version, while it does not look "featured"(to which it went right from stub status), but it is better by far, thanks to references, the numbers show how horrible it was, actually I've heard of famine on Volga from my family, I've got one dead, and I can understand what happened in Ukraine is different.–Gnomz⁰⁰⁷(?) 23:59, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Russian architecture is still going

Hi Ilya. You placed a POV notice at the top of Russian architecture at the end of October. I've since done some work to make the wording about architecture of Kievan Rus’ better reflect a neutral point of view, but haven't removed that section from the article. The way it is written now, it corresponds to the general plan of articles on "Russian architecture" found in the Penguin Dictionary of Architecture, the latest Encyclopædia Britannica, and the Columbia Encyclopedia, except that I've been more careful than those sources to not apply the adjective "Russian" to the architecture of Rus’.

AndriyK and Andrew Alexander won't let it go; they insist that the portion of Kievan Rus within the modern boundaries of Ukraine cannot be mentioned in this article. Would you please have a look and comment? Would you consider the current wording neutral? If not, how can it be improved? If you don't agree, at the very least, find a respectable reference that can give those two some ammunition, so things can get moving. The article has been stagnant since this came up, and those two stubbornly generate thousands of words of argument without a single useful citation to support their point of view (AndriyK cited a couple of tourism web sites without any authorship information, and the Columbia Encyclopedia, which flatly contradicts his viewpoint). They wouldn't file a request for comment, so I have done so, but I'm afraid it won't help. Thanks. —Michael Z. 2005-12-6 20:31 Z

[edit] Mykola Khvylovyi

Good work on Ukrainian literature articles. Just curious why you changed the title of this article (and didn't change the name in the text). What orthography standard should we use? I usually try to use the one that comes up most commonly. Best, Tfine80 05:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AndriyK RfAr closed

The AndriyK RfAr has been closed. Until by consensus he has agreed to a suitable and mutually agreed naming convention using the guideline Wikipedia:Naming conflict, AndriyK is prohibited from moving pages, or changing the content of articles which relate to Ukrainian names, especially those of historical interest. AndriyK is banned for one month from Wikipedia for creating irreversible page moves. Andrew Alexander, AndriyK, and MaryMaidan are warned to avoid copyright violations and to cooperate with the efforts of others to remove copyright violations. Ghirlandajo is warned to avoid incivility or personal attacks.

[edit] Savage4 TMUs

I saw you changed the # of TMUs back to 2. That's what I thought too, until I read up a bit on Beyond3D's forum. The catch to the Savage4 is that they claim single-pass multitexturing, not single-cycle. That means it's not a 2 TMU chip, but a single TMU chip. The core can do multitexturing, but it takes more than one clock cycle so it's not as efficient as it could be. There's a link down in the references section to the forum thread. --Swaaye 20:57, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I really got other results 3DMark 2000 ver 1.1 : single - 121 MT/s, multi - 242 MT/s. 1024x768x16 bit 16 textures (that is default)on ~~Prosavage DDR~~ KM400 Unichrome. Forum is not reliable source. If you looked at Anandtech reviews linked from wikipedia article, you should doubt how Savage 4 with one TMU could rival for exmple 2 TMU Riva TNT2? Also I have ran Quake 3 on Savage3D an Savage4. Using lightmaps instead of vertex lighting halved Savage 3d (1 TMU) performance, but was free on Savage 4. Also I have loooked reviews at ixbt.com (they have english version http://www.digit-life.com/) they noted that in opengl early drivers didn't get benefit at all from multitexturing, and more recent did'nt get much, so maybe it's a driver problem? Ilya K 13:22, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

It could be driver related. It is S3 we're talking about here. :) I'm actually surprised that the guys at Beyond3D think it's 1x1. At that time most cards were 1x2 or 2x1. However, that forum is populated by more than a few 3D programmers and engineers, so I believe they are correct. They say 3DMark2001 may not work correctly on the card, likely due to driver reasons. It's an amazing forum if you want to really learn about the underlying technology of these cards. Feel free to post in that old thread. I'm sure they would be happy to try to solve this mystery. About the fillrate halving, yes you are right on it being pixel and not texture fillrate. My mistake. I had forgotten that is how it goes. --Swaaye 15:23, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anna Sedokova

Hello and cheers from Colombia. I've just created the article about Ms. Anna Sedokova, but I don't speak Ukrainian, so I wrote the information I could retrieve so far. Would you please check it out and, if you wish, add some information? Thank you in advance. --Julián Ortega - drop me a message 21:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Ha, ha, ha. That's OK. I just want to know why is that name written in so many ways (I used Anna Sedakova because it appears that way at her official site, but I've seen Anya Sedakova, for example). Is that because one is the "Ukrainian way" and the other is the "Russian way"? Cheers and thanks for answering. --Julián Ortega - drop me a message 21:46, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

No, it's because in slavic languages there are lot of variations. It' like Richard and Dick, Thomas and Tommy. For Ann there may be Anna, Anya, Anka and An'ka, Anyuta, Nyuta, Nyura, Anechka (Rus.), Annushka (Rus.), Hanna (Ukr.), Hannusia (Ukr.) Hannochka (Ukr.), and maybe even more :) Ilya K 21:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, well, thanks a lot again. Is the same thing on her last name? About Mr. Marquez article, you should ask the Portal:Colombia editors. Maybe the red links prevent it to be featured... Cheers! --Julián Ortega - drop me a message 19:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Lviv coat big.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Lviv coat big.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 18:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Arena-big.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Arena-big.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] BDV Notepad

A tag has been placed on BDV Notepad, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Corvus cornix 21:03, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Joshua Bloch

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Joshua Bloch, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Joshua Bloch seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Joshua Bloch, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
