[edit] Romania-battle-stub

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any reason why this stub type should not be proposed for deletion at WP:SFD. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 03:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Battleoflipnic LeonidGrigorasenco.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Battleoflipnic LeonidGrigorasenco.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation will 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.

[edit] Categorizing battles

Hi! Just to let you know, battles should be placed into a "Battles involving Somecountry" category only if troops from Somecountry actually participated in the battle; the full guideline for battle categories is available here. In particular, Category:Battles involving Romania should be used only for battles (a) involving the modern (post-1859) unified Romanian state (the earlier principalities have their own separate categories) and (b) in which Romanian troops actually fought—not for battles that merely happened to take place on land that later became part of Romania. Thanks! Kirill Lokshin 14:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, let's see:
  • Regarding the Battle of Saint Gotthard and the Battle of Mohács: those are just categorized wrong, as far as I can tell; they're not supposed to have Hungary categories unless Hungary actually participated in the fighting (of which I can't find any mention), so I've removed the categories in question. Thanks for catching that!
  • Regarding Ukraine: this is, admittedly, a somewhat more complicated question. The Wallachia/Moldavia/Romania situation is relatively simple—we start out with several well-defined states, and have them unite to become a single well-defined state (in 1859, if I'm not mistaken); thus, we can neatly split the categories by filing pre-1859 battles into the Wallacha/Moldavia categories and post-1859 battles into the Romania one. With Ukraine, on the other hand, we have a sort of well-defined state (Kievan Rus') that collapses—but the next actual state (modern Ukraine) doesn't emerge for many hundreds of years. In the meantime, the inhabitants of Ukraine form some vaguely defined groups—mostly the various Cossack ones—that happen to fight in wars. It was thus decided—more as a matter of temporary convenience, since we only have a handful of articles to which this applies at this point—that we would lump the various Ukranian Cossack groups into the "Ukraine" category for the time being (which is why Category:Battles involving Ukraine was defined as including "post-Kievan Ukrainian states and groups (17th century–present)" rather than just modern Ukraine). Hence, I added the tag to Battle of Finta based on my assumption that the Cossacks involved were Ukranian. (Of course, I could be wrong in making that assumption. If the Cossacks were not from Ukraine, we may indeed need to create a separate Category:Battles involving the Cossacks or some similar category to handle such cases; please let me know if I made this mistake here.)
Hope that explains some of the issues to your satisfaction; please feel free to ask if there are any other concerns! Kirill Lokshin 14:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Request reason: "I`m totally confused. I said that I have nothing to do with Greier, except an unfortunate blood tie. I`m his brother, suo fratello, but I have nothing to do with him. Please give me a valid reason for why you declined, not malicious irony. We have completely different personalities, and I don`t see how you camed to the conclusion that I`m him."

Decline reason: "Quite a coincidence your "brother" gets banned then within a week or two you show up and start editing, and that editing make you appear as someone quite familiar with wikipedia. --pgk 15:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)"

So then, whose are all the other sockpuppets created at around the same time? Yours or his? Sorry for being ironic, but you must notice just how thin of an excuse this all sounds... Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:24, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
We live in a kind of a villa, where there are several computers (including the ones from a small business running on the ground floor), all connected to the internet on just one 512 kbs connection. I have nothing to do with his accounts nor his views nor anything. I don`t see why I have to suffer because of him. Petre Bolea 14:34, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Btw, we are two brothers, one cousin, and two colleagues from the same university living there. Petre Bolea 14:38, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
