[edit] Images

The images you have recently uploaded are really good. Thank you. Sashazlv 04:32, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RU- and UA-notice boards

Thanks for your contributions. I am not sure, this was brought up to your attention, but please keep an eye on the announcement boards of Russia portal and Ukraine portal. Also, may I ask you to reformulate the statement on your user page to a more soft version. We really don't need to inflame our colleagues. Apologies if my advice is unwelcome. Hope to see you around. --Irpen 18:55, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi again, are you sure there are no other one-sided views of history maintained by others in WP. Sorry again, but we should really engage our friends and neighbors into cooperation whenever possible. Please drop me a note or an email via "E-mail this user" if you want to discuss this. Thanks and please take my comments lightly. --Irpen 00:06, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Ukrainians" picture

Thanks for the great pic. However, please take a look at the note I left at Talk:Ukrainians. If I may make a suggestion regarding a person for the picture from the Soviet time, I would suggest Sergey Korolyov. What do you think? --Irpen 02:41, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Done already. Let me know if you disagree or you would like an old picture (I saved it on my hard-drive). --Irpen 03:11, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Svensksund

Do you have a reference for your modified causality figures?

Yes, http://www.algonet.se/~hogman/battles_1700b_eng.htm

[edit] Racist attacks

Hello. I think you may be interested to check what's going on with St_Volodymyr's_Cathedral and Smolensk. Please help to keep the nationalists at bay. --Ghirlandajo 12:54, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree with your view on nationalists. Good work! Antidote 20:31, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Check a new attack by user:Molobo. His contributions should be constantly scrutinized, as you will never know where he strikes again. --Ghirlandajo 09:33, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Case against Molobo

If you have had troubles with user:Molobo, please add the summary of his abuses to my note here. I believe we should stand united against his nationalist spree. Thanks, Ghirlandajo 14:31, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Halibutt's RfA

Thanks. WikiThanks.
I would like to express my thanks to all the people who took part in my (failed) RfA voting. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! I was also surprised by the amount of people who stated clearly that they do care, be it by voting in for or against my candidacy. That's what Wiki community is about and I'm really pleased to see that it works.
As my RfA voting failed with 71% support, I don't plan to reapply for adminship any more. However, I hope I might still be of some help to the community. Cheers! Halibutt 05:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Alex Bakharev

Take a look. It seems there that the raging russophobia of some is the only reason of the attempts to derail the candidacy of one of the most worthy people for the job. His unquestionably high ethics and decensy are so clear even from how he handles the criticism and shameless attacks at his own RfAdm even for those who don't know him from his contributions to Wikipedia! --Irpen 19:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[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 :). Lets move on and make together our Wikipedia an even greater place abakharev 10:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Simon Dach

Please add the page to your watchlist. I'm tired of fighting such edits alone. --Ghirla | talk 09:54, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kievan Rus

I was not referring to your edits. See User_talk:Thames. Please don't delete pertinent Bilibin's image though. --Ghirla | talk 12:55, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orsha

I requested Vorša to be moved to Orsha. Please vote on Talk:Vorša. --Ghirla | talk 11:16, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Molodi

Hi there. Although I mentioned the battle in my previous article on Vorotynsky, I'll write something more substantial on the subject in a day or two. Cheers, Ghirla | talk 00:27, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR warning on Międzymorze

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Alai 02:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Battle of Molodi, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] I totally Agree

Привет, I'm also interested in Central and Eastern European history and politics. And I also agree that many Westernized Poles try to sell out other East Europeans by pretending that they are somehow "better" than them. In Asia, you see South Korea being the exact same. By the way, could you help help with the page on the Constitution of the Russian Federation or the page I wrote Buddhism in the Russian Federation? User:Le Anh-Huy

[edit] Please vote

Hi. You voted in support of Alex Bakharev his previous RfA, and I just wanted to let you know that there's a second one at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Alex Bakharev 2. --Khoikhoi 03:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Too late, Voyevoda. But, good news, he was promoted anyway. Cheers, --Irpen 01:23, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your voting!

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.

If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper. Thank you very much, once more! abakharev 07:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism of the Pinky Article

I'm not sure whether you are aware, but some blatant vandalism was committed under your name. You seem to be an active editor, so I doubt it was you personally who did it. Just wanted to let you know, mate.

--Berkut 05:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


I believe some of these statements need sourcing. Otherwise, the nationalists will obliterate these stubborn facts. --Ghirla -трёп- 12:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Northern Stream

Hello

The first sight shows that information about one bilion lose for Poland is completely fictious. How big is present income of Poland from transit of Russian gas?(or rather income of the Europol Gas company)? Are there any plans to cut transit of gas through Poland after completion of the Northern Stream? I don't think personally - both pipelines will be used. How one can calculate any lose of transit fees?

Moreover, for Poland the transit fees have minor meaning (major for Gudzowaty, owner of Europolgas). I suppose the country that is affected the most is Belarus. Cautious 10:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Leipzig

I am not sure what is going on here but I am going to ask that the reverts to the flag box stop. I am an American so I am very sure I don't understand the fine context of the argument you have with the German fellow behind the IP address. I very much want to understand what the issue is. I actually have contributed 95% of the text in the article to this date. Where it was Polish troops they get credit, where Russian the same, and so forth. I have no nationial axe to grind, to my knowledge there were no U.S. troops within 3,000 miles of the battlefield. The British had at best 1 rocket battery there (assuming that speaking English would have some positive effect on me and it doesn't) so I have been very careful that each nation gets credit for what it's units there did. A flag box is a silly thing to get in a revert war on. Please list what your issues are with the flag box in the Battle of Leipzig talk page so we can get this addressed.

I am asking that you not revert or change the flag box further at this time until we can get agreement from the various parties. This is looking like a pro-national POV to me. This isn't good for the article or Wikipedia. Tirronan 18:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Final Warning

Despite my requests you have continued to play the flag reordering game on Battle of Leipzig this is your last notice ANYMORE OF THIS AND I WILL BE REPORTING YOUR CONTINUED AND DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR TO THE ADMINS! I don't like nor will I stand for this "my nation over all stuff" I am reverting back to the start of all this and I don't want to see another change by you on Battle of Leipzig again. Tirronan 16:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I will interfer if I see any more of this stuff, it is silly and I have had enough. Stop with the flag waving, I'm an American and I don't have a side in this. Anymore and you will be talking to an admin next. Tirronan 17:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I've asked for mediation on this and I will accept the admin's decision please accept the request when you are invited to do so. I don't want to deal with all the complaints that your edits are bringing. Tirronan 17:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Sign up here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/Battle_of_Leipzig

Thank you, I am more than willing to abide by whatever they decide and best of luck on your end of things. Tirronan 20:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Well since we have been turned down and this is a fairly simple issue shall we simply poll the editors and let the majority decide? This constant edit war has to stop one way or another. Tirronan 13:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WWII infobox image

Hello. I noticed that you altered the image that is currently being used in the infobox template. I'd like to remind you that there is a talk page where this change should have been discussed beforehand (you would also notice that there is currently a discussion taking place to potentially create a new montage with different images). You might want to voice your opinions there. The section specifically is Template_talk:WW2InfoBox#Discussion. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 05:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi Voevoda.Are u the same person with the "Voevoda" in commons?

If yes; I wanted to translate your map "Crimean Khanate 1600" into Turkish and upload it to Turkish Wiki, but I wasn't sure about some facts.Firstly, what does "Ulus of Gazi" you wrote mean?I have thought these lands were Crimean Khanate's.And what about Grand Nogia Horde? Did Muscovy had borders in that south in 1600?

Thanks in advance.--Jagatai Khan (talk) 10:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Is it really my map? I can't remember. The only thing I can remember is that I wrote a Russian version of Battle of Molodi and translated the map into Russian after having taken it from somewhere. The Russian version is uploaded on the Commons here. As you can see, there is no Ulus of Gazi in it yet. It must have been another person who worked on those maps after me. Sorry if I couldn't help you. --Voyevoda (talk) 17:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robin Hood's Arrows (film)

Your article is a copy-paste of my earlier article - [1]. We have a move button to rename a page, please, respect GFDL copyright (history button).

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Voyevoda! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

--Zeitgespenst (talk) 22:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reverts

These reverts at Battle of Konotop have to stop, this is getting tedious. Everything has been explained at talk. I didn't notice any of your objections. I only removed data supplied by Russian journalists, which is contrary to WP:V and I said so at talk, you didn't object. Besides, it appears that you are reverting pages without any regard for the content as you removed new links that I provided. There is a discussion going on between me and User:Irpen at talk, why don't you participate and instead wage revert wars? Do you want me to start mediation to settle this or you prefer to revert pages whenever you happen to like? I am still waiting for your objections not your reverts. --Hillock65 (talk) 17:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

The vandal who has been changing numbers shows no sign of stopping and he has changed the numbers in articles where you have added real sources, if you could revert him then if he continues we could report him from breaching 3rr Shipseggsbasket (talk) 19:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Russo–Swedish War (1656–1658)

It was Sweden who won the Russo–Swedish War (1656–1658). Why did you change that? That is called vandalism. --212.247.27.189 (talk) 14:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

The Russians conquered more lands and while the peace treaty was signed, they held them. So it can't be a Swedish victory. Sweden could just almost restore the pre-war situation. Voyevoda (talk) 14:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Good evening.
I`v noticed here that you changed name from Daniel Ostrogski to Daniil Ostrogski and i belive that you, as a native Russian speaker, are right. My question is how should be pronounced in Ruthenian/Russian name Elżbieta (Elisabeth), is Halzbieta/Halszka correct form? And if it goes for Danill, isn`t Danylko olso right? I`m quite newcomer in wiki and i would olso like to know if chane of page name for wikiarticle is possible.
Thanks in advance.
Mikołajski (talk) 22:54, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello! The Ruthenian form of Elżbieta is Elizaveta and the diminuitive form is Liza. You can change the article name by clicking the "move" button just right of "history". Greetings, Voyevoda (talk) 06:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks alot, but name Halszka seems to be in various sources also used, is it another name or maybe another language (for example old-Russian)? I feel confused with that names issues, especially Dniil had about four different names in different sources (Daszko, Detko etc.) as well as Feodor. How about that Danylko, is it diminuitive form of Daniil? Another thing i wish to ask is what`s wikipedia policy about such things like names and how can i redirect various names to one correct (i hope) page. Unfortunatelly i`v got no "move" button, is it question of my accounts set-up?
P.S. Please, if you can reply on my talk page, it would be easier for me to notice your answers.
Regards.Mikołajski (talk) 18:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again. May it be that Halszka was just Latinised/Polonised name, anyway i`v got finally that "move" button and i`ll just redirect Elżbieta/Halszka to "Elizaveta" and similar with others. If it goes for "Detko", i found it in many sources, exactly Det`ko, similar with Feodor and Fed`ko. If i can i wish you to tell me if Feodor (Fiodor/Teodor) and Ilia (Eliasz/Elias) are correct names.
