Happy New Year!

С Новым годом! Здоровья, счастья, творческих успехов! -- Vald 16:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Присоединяюсь, и от всей души желаю хорошего, успешного нового года. To a happy and rewarding 2007! - Introvert • ~ 22:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

С наступающим!

Off topic: be careful when you call 25 December the "Catholic Christmas day". And now for the real thing: can I wish you Happy Hanuka? If so, ברשות, לחיים! (sorry, wrong order, I know, should come out as "b'rshut, lekhaim")

As for the people who now find themselves acting in a bad movie, I hope the season of good will, will provide a good issue to all of this mess. С Новым годом! and c Рождеством, if that applies (too)!--Pan Gerwazy 17:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The article-writers come first

I've read your comments here and there, and I feel the same as you about the loss of good editors in the past few days (let's hope they come back); and it's actually upsetting me, as I can tell it is you. I know we both have experience of Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish editors, many of whom make Giano look like a mouse: they include some of my favourite editors—I mean characters like Ghirla, Piotrus, Irpen, and Halibutt—because they are so hard-working and brilliant. It depresses me when their work is distracted by any of this wretched civility lawyering: I hope we don't lose anyone more of the great "mastodon" or bulldog article-making wikipedians, because they are some of the best we have. qp10qp 19:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I have read your essay on talk:Geogre and agree wholeheartedly. Alex Bakharev 00:03, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

С Рождеством Христовым и Новым годом!

Ghirlandajo

Hi Alex, thanks for your message on my page. Do you know if Ghirlandajo is really out of here, or just on a very determined wikibreak? He doesn't even reply to e-mail, so it's not looking good... It's certainly a huge loss to the project if he's gone. :-( Bishonen | talk 03:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC).

Happy New Year!

Image:Alferov jores.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alferov jores.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. MECU≈talk 02:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Aleksei leonov.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Aleksei leonov.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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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.

Thank you for your consideration

Thank you for the consideration you gave to my RfA. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. You were one of the oppose votes, and raised concerns. I am more than willing to discuss those concerns with you if you are interested. Please let me know. Sincerely, --BostonMA 12:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Jan Dzierżon

Alex, could you, being neutral to this issue, consider sprotecting Jan Dzierżon ? It seems it is plagued by rather extreme anonymous users from both "Polish" and "German" sides. Maybe a period of peace would help cooling it down a bit. --Lysy 21:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, that was quick. --Lysy 21:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Спасибо большóе!

Thanks for the Cyrillic correction on Moscow Boys Choir. --User:Hempfel P.S. Спасибо большóе!

Typo

I think you meant "cannot be replaced". You wrote "can". Tyrenius 01:39, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Fixed, thanks for tmentioning it Alex Bakharev 05:18, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Image licensing

Hello!

I was looking at Image:Chornovil Vyacheslav.jpg which is licensed as {{attribution}}. It is sourced from here and the website says: © 2003-2004 bukinfo.cv.ua. Всi права захищенi. I was wondering if you could determine if this is compatible with the license. My translation using Babelfish yielded the following: "Vs.i of the right of zakhishchen.i." --Oden 22:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
