[edit] List of Russians

Yeah, it is a mess. I will work on it this evening (Australian time) abakharev 02:17, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Russia/New article announcements

Hi, thanks for for your contributions to the Russia project. Can you put your Russia-related contributions: new articles or major revisions of the existent ones - into Portal:Russia/New article announcements, so your contributions would be read by the other participants of the project. Also if you see a new or newly rewritten article that is not the list, please add it too.

I am trying to look through the list of the new articles for the Russian-related ones, but it like 2..3 thousand articles daily and I can easily loose an important article. There is no way to catch all the major revisions of Russia-related articles, unless the authors will report them themselves.

Also you might be interested in adding to your watch-list Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board and Portal:Russia texts.

All the best and thanks for the great work. abakharev 02:43, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board

Dear colleague, there is no need to announce every edit you make on the new articles notice board. There is another board for notices of this sort. Cheers, Ghirlandajo 08:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Also, may I ask you not to start Alexander Tairov, Alice Koonen, Kamerny Theatre, Nonna Mordyukova, Lyudmila Gurchenko, and Malyi Theatre? These articles have long been on my to-do list, so I plan to write them myself. Thanks, Ghirlandajo 09:21, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Double cats

Hi colleague. I've noticed your addition of Category:Russian writers to an article that is already listed in Category:Russian novelists. May I ask you to please undo it: the cat. novelists is already included in cat. writers. Cheers. Humus sapiens←ну? 19:25, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Two portraits per article?

Dear Vald, let me thank you for the nice pictures you added. While I think your intentions are laudable, what's the point of adding new portraits to the likes of Alexander Blok or Mikhail Lermontov, which had three images already. It's not from laziness that I didn't add more pictures when I wrote those articles, I just thought three were enough. Perhaps it's better idea to upload new copyfree images to the WikiCommons, where they can be used for articles in other languages and whence we could retrieve them when needed. Keep up the good work, Ghirlandajo 23:46, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

At Wikicommons one can have whole galleries on various topics, see, e.g., commons:Category:Michelangelo Buonarroti. mikka (t) 06:42, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ivan the Fool

Vald, in disambiguation pages it is a style to make wikilinks only in descriptions of entries which are red links. A dab page is a technical navigation tool, not a regular article. Please read the guidelines wikipedia:Disambiguation. mikka (t) 16:51, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your question

Dear colleague, there is nothing wrong with your captions, only I don't see a rationale for it. Do you think it was not clear that the person on the photo is Marr? --Ghirlandajo 11:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Hullo. Just curious to why you dropped it (the verify process / hoax). Did you find anything which substantiates this guy? Ifnord 15:39, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

An Award
I, User:Alex Bakharev give this Exceptional Newcomer Award to Vald in recognition of his articles on Russian poets and especially his great translations of Russian poetry into English.

[edit] Thanks

Thanks. WikiThanks.

I would like to express my thanks to all the good people who spent their valuable time time and effort working on my (failed) RfA voting. Especially for those who actually voted to support me :). You put a great effort into it, it was me who mixed up everything. Lets move on and make together our Wikipedia an even greater place abakharev 09:45, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:100px-Avvakum_protopop_ikona.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:100px-Avvakum_protopop_ikona.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. --OrphanBot 06:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Aleksandrov Aleksandr Vasilyevich.jpg

I need to ask you about Image:Aleksandrov Aleksandr Vasilyevich.jpg. I understand that it was taken from Russian Wikipedia, but what is it's copyright status? I cannot read the text at ru:Изображение:Aleksandrov Aleksandr 3.jpg, so I can't tell whether it's public domain or not. Is it? Whatever it is, it needs an indication of that on English wiki; it's not enough just to say that it's from Russian wiki. Thanks. Chick Bowen 18:21, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

  • it's public domain -- Vald 19:03, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I took care of it already. --Irpen 19:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Excellent! Thank you both. Chick Bowen 21:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Football AID 12 February - 18 February

Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week.

FC Dynamo Kyiv has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

[edit] Your question

Hello, I don't think the term exists in English, as it smacks of original research. It is a matter of point of view to decide whether a government works "for people" or "against them". Actually, every government serves the interests of only a fraction of the total population. You could translate the term as Totalitarian government or just "unpopular administration", depending on the context. --Ghirla -трёп- 08:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] East View

Hi there. Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article East View, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the relevant issues at Talk:East View. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexander Gradsky

You must know better tnat to leave a single line without any reference. Next time when you will be lazy please leave a note in Portal:Russia/New article announcements. It will save much trouble like this one. `'mikka (t) 03:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Translations

Hi! I am sorry for delay in responding. Thank you for help though!

this is the text in Russian:

Максимальная концентрация в плазме крови при приеме в дозе 50 мг достигается через 1 ч, в дозе 100 мг – через 1,5 ч. Метаболизируется в печени. Период полувыведения равен 17-21 ч. Около 40% выводится в неизмененном виде, в основном с желчью (38.9%) и в незначительном количестве почками (0.12%). В течение первых суток выводится 90% от введенной дозы.

The text is about Arbidol, an anti-viral drug that is taken orally (to fight flu). The part about 40 % something, I understand words themselves, but when they are in such a context I don't get it. I don't understand what is in unchanged form - the drug after it was digested or....? This is what I understood from the first two sentences (correct if I am mistaking).

Orally administrated dose of 50 mg reaches its maximum concentration in the blood within ~ 1h, and the dose of 100 mg reaches its maximum concentration withing 1.5 h. It is metabolized in the liver. The period of half-life is equal to 17-21 h.

Thank you very much again!

Svetlana Miljkovic 14:52, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

40% of the taken drug is going out from the body in the unchanged form. - Vald 22:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:180px-Pokryschkin.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:180px-Pokryschkin.jpg. 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. Lupo 13:37, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Towiki

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Towiki, by Agamemnon2 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Towiki is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Towiki, 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 leave a message on the bot operator's talk page 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. --Android Mouse Bot 2 10:57, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Bill D'Elia

A tag has been placed on Bill D'Elia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Tiptoety 06:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:180px-Yuly-Kim-2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:180px-Yuly-Kim-2.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

[edit] AfD nomination of Vladimir Narbut

An editor has nominated Vladimir Narbut, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vladimir Narbut and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 16:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
