| : If an article is sourced it should be okay to use infoboxes. If the article is called "Kievan Rus" then what's wrong with including it in the infobox? In addition to that, the coat of arms is easy to remove, it shouldn't be a problem. Please don't imply this is all DDima's fault and ]. — ]<sup>(]|]|])</sup> 06:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC) | |||

Problem with collage Image:FamousUKR.JPGuk:Зображення:Сергій Корольов.jpg - This image cann't be PD in Russia or Ukraine and so collage cann't be GFDL. As we can see on image Sergey Korolyov had got two Golden Star, therefore this image was created after 1961 and copyrighted. Alex Spade 18:51, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Valuyevsky UkazPlease see my question at Talk:Valuyevsky Ukaz#"The Ukrainian language never existed, does not exist, and shall never exist". The Transliterator • talk 15:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC) Since you put that information in your response is required. Even saying that you'll check it, or that you don't know. Something. The Transliterator • talk 21:27, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I've rewritten the article, take a look at it. Unfortunately I can't do the same in Ukrainian. The Transliterator • talk 23:21, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
The Map of "Novorossia"I am afraid that the you reloaded resently, is still unacceptable. The borders of "Novorossia" shown there are clearly wrong. (It looks like the eastern border is nothing else as the modern border of Ukraine). Note that the original map was taken from a partizan site. And the author was not even aware that Lugansk and Donetsk are differen cities. It cannot be considered as a reliable source.--AndriyK 13:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Template:PD-UA-exemptHi there, I noticed you edited the Template:PD-UA-exempt awhile back. You are welcome to contribute on a related Rfc page here, Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/FC Vorskla Poltava image. Much appreciated, --Palffy 21:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Carpatho-Ruthenia.I have reverted your edit, because in 1880, there were NO ukrainians in Carpatho-Ruthenia. (No one said himself to be Ukrainian...) The majority of inhabitans called themselves "Rusyn", "Rus'kyj" or "Rusnak", which are translated into English as "Rusyns". In Europe Carpatho-Rusyns, Bieloruss and Ukrainians were called Ruthenians. That's why we should write Ruthenians / Rusyns. Regards --Rusyn 19:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC) Ivan FrankoHi. I just noticed it was you who'd created the infobox for Franko. Feel free to revert, but my rationale was that it seemed anachronistic. After all, he never lived under that flag, and never lived in an independent Ukraine. However, I'm not sure what the standard is in such cases, so if you have reason to revert, then please do so. Biruitorul 05:27, 27 May 2007 (UTC) Thanks from Zaporozhian.Thanks a lot for welcoming me! My username is probably misleading—I picked it mostly because I knew it wouldn’t be taken—and my enthusiasm about and interest in Russia and Ukraine (Ukraine, especially) is matched only by my ignorance about them. I try to keep up with what’s going on there, but the only book I’ve read that’s about one of them exclusively was Ukraine: A History. I won’t be any good for translation (I’m trying to do something about the fact that English is the only language I know) and while I can do Cyrillic transliteration up to a point, I’m sure there’s another Wikipedian who can do it far better. I can copy-edit fairly well, though, and have a decent bias detector. I’ll try to be a good Wikipedian, and thanks again. --Zaporozhian 05:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Zakarpattia Oblast
RusynsSaying Ukrainians (including Rusyns) can be though as insulting towards Rusyn people. If we write like that, it could be thought that Rusyns are part of Ukrainians. I think that writing Ukrainians and Rusyns and then adding a short lign saying, that Rusyns weren't counted as such during the census would be the best. That way, articles about Demographics in Zakarpattiya will satisfy the Neutral policy of Misplaced Pages. What do you think about that? --Rusyn 18:24, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Of course!--Rusyn 09:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Podilsko-Voskresenska LineGood article, I added some additions to it, but can we export a map from somewhere? Also should the template be the other way around (north to south)? Also where are the announcements on WP:SOVMETRO? --Kuban Cossack 13:50, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I will take care of all maps after I get out from school (less than two weeks). I'm planning on drawing my own SVG map, except it will have no background (transparent) instead of street names. — Alex 03:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I fixed all of the SVG files you had in that category, they are as close to the original as I could make them, which means they might still contain typos and might have some inconsistency in typefaces. Other than that, they are fixed. — Alex 06:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
By the way, the Podilsko-Voskresenska Line conflict escalated. Kuban kazak reported me to the admins, trying to get me blocked. — Alex 04:31, 10 June 2007 (UTC) Please joinMisplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-06-10 Podilsko-Voskresenska Line. --Kuban Cossack 17:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
WP:POINTSorry to bother you, but since you edited the article Russians in Ukraine, I was wondering if you have an opinion on the serious violation of the WP:POINT there. I'd like to hear your opinion about it before I file it on the ANB. Thanks in advance. --Hillock65 18:08, 13 June 2007 (UTC) Донецький метрополітенIn ukrainian wiki some people wants to delete this. maybe will you correct this article ? --Miwanya 12:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
InfoboxesEvery infobox is objectionable and is better avoided. The former country infobox is one of the silliest of them all. The infobox used in Kievan Rus was a vehicle for petty nationalism: it featured a huge emblem of modern Kyiv (first adopted in the 18th century) and listed Ukrainian hryvnia as the currency of Rus' (the epithet "Kievan" was devised by Russian historians in the 19th century). In short, it is a pile of rude anachronisms. This facile approach to history brings Misplaced Pages into disrepute. --Ghirla 09:37, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
