| ::With all due respect, I believe that Miyokan has a good point in this case. | |||
| ::The author of an article in a media source can make any outlandish, unsupported claim he/she wants without needing to validate the truth of their claims. This is acceptable in journalism, but it is not an acceptable way of footnoting encyclopedia articles. Just because an author asserts that something happened does not necessarily mean that the referenced event did indeed take place. The source of the author’s information needs to be considered in these cases. | |||
| ::Many assertions in Misplaced Pages articles are footnoted in grotesque and irresponsible ways. This kind of referencing makes a mockery of truth and research, even on an amateur level.

| ==Ronald Reagan edits== | |||
| Out of respect (which I actually have for the strength of your edits, esp. in the Kosovo article), I waned you to know that I reverted the larger part of your edits because I think they should be discussed. I have found through hard experience that having a lot of agreement (read: consensus) is the best way to preserve the integrity of the edits you are adding. A little time spent in gathering consensus through discussion beforehand is a lot better than spending a lot more time dealing with tendentious editing by miffed people who felt they "needed" to be consulted before such changes were enacted. As someone who has worked that particular article a lot, I have seen this mentality appear, and would prefer that your time would be better spent securing those edits before their placement. Please do not read any disrespect into my revert. :) - ] ] 20:39, 14 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, can I ask why did you ? The description of the image clearly states that the unit was made up of multiple nationalities, yet in the caption's description you chose to (wrongly) single out one group. I would like to ask you why you did so? | |||
| The description from the image is provided below: | |||
| ''Warsaw Ghetto Uprising- Photo from Jürgen Stroop Report to Heinrich Himmler from May 1943. The original German caption reads: "Askaris used during the operation". Two Askari or Trawniki guards, peer into a doorway past the bodies of Jews killed during the suppression of the Warsaw ghetto uprising.

| ::::::I disagree. The PNA provided the photograph, but only on the ''Florida Center for Instructional Technology'' website are we told that the militia are specifically Ukrainian, which is not substantiated anywhere else that is why I was asking about it. We do know that they are both Askari; their nationality could be any of the nationalities that were trained in the village of Trawniki: ''The unit trained in village of Trawniki was made up of Ukrainians, Russians, Belorussians, Poles, Estonians, Lithuanians, Latvians, ethnic Germans, Kazakhs and Tartars.'' I suggest we describe them accordingly, pending future clarification.--]<sup>]</sup> 06:10, 27 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

"''The unit trained in village of Trawniki was made up of Ukrainians, Russians, Belorussians, Poles, Estonians, Lithuanians, Latvians, ethnic Germans, Kazakhs and Tartars.''" - besides the fact that this is not in the source, this is describing the unit that they were part of, not the photo.--] (]) 06:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::You are making the claim of nationality, and need to fist establish that they are XYZ before shifting the burden of proof. To do so you argue that their nationality is claimed by a website (''Florida Center for Instructional Technology''), which got its content from the PNA. One of the requirements of the Verifiability policy is the reliability of sources, which the website does not fulfill in light of the fact that Askari were made up of multiple nationalities, so who says that they were "Ukrainian"? What I am saying is that the website got the photo from the Polish National Archives, which it explicitly credits for the photo. It also disclaims that ''The original German caption reads: "Askaris used during the operation."''. It does not say that these were of a specific nationality. So I argue that the wikipedia's caption should be Two Askaris rather than two "nationality"--]<sup>]</sup> 06:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::In fact the source mentions the German caption and says that they were Ukrainian, there is no contradiction, please see ], unless you provide a source of that photo that says they were some other nationality that is what we go by.--] (]) 06:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::You can't hide behind "verifiability, not truth" if the source is not reliable and if that same source does not say what you say (which is that the two askari are Ukrainian). Source #1 is the website which claims nationality. Source #2 is the original source that was presumably provided by the PNA and is the German original caption. The second, or the original source, identifies the two men as Askari. The first source attributes nationality to them, but has no basis for it and does not substantiated this claim. It is not a reliable source and hence does not fit the Verifiability policy. I think I have expressed my opinion clearly on this and you seem to have expressed yours as well. The Misplaced Pages caption has to reflect the original source, which says "Two askari". I will make the proper edits to reflect what we have at hand.--]<sup>]</sup> 07:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::::Please stop trying to whitewash this. The website source got their caption from where they got their photo, which is the Polish National Archives, you are assuming that they didn't get the caption from where they got the source, see ]. Even if they didn't write where they got the photo from, it doesn't matter per ] unless you provide a different source of the same photo that says that they weren't Ukrainian.--] (]) 07:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| I think there is too much noise here over nothing. This pic does not give much info that can be helpful for this article anyway. All it shows are two men who took part in atrocities. They may have been Ukrainian but even if they were, there is nothing more to this picture that (even if the caption is authentic) adds to the fact that Askaris took part in the pogroms and the Ukrainians wre among them. There is nothing on these men that identifies them Ukrainian or illustrate the Ukrainian part of collaboration in any way. The pro-Nazi parades by nationalists in Lviv with Ukrainian regalia, nationalist priests' public blessings to the collaborant formations, recruitment posters for Waffen-SS ] with the Galician Lion and Swastika next to each other, yes. Those would illustrate the topic. But not two thugs kicking out some door in some house, Ukrainian or not. --] 07:17, 27 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :Whether the picture gives much info is neither here nor there, you can't argue "you can't prove that they weren't Ukrainian", one of wikipedia's cornerstone policies is ], if that wasn't the case then you can say about hundreds of photos here that you "can't prove they were X", we have a source here that says the were Ukrainian askari, now unless you can provide a different source of the same photo that says that contradicts this then we go by the source. Please don't attempt to whitewash something you saw that you didn't like with invalid arguments like "you can't prove that they were Ukrainian".--] (]) 07:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| What is that "I don't like"? What am I trying to "whitewash"? Please choose your words more carefully. I replaced the image with much more fitting the article and I will add more if you give me more time. As a general note, please slow down a little. You are a hard-working contributor and I spoke up when you were unfairly treated not once. Do not jump the gun and accuse fellow editors like that. And please try to seek the compromise more often. --] 07:52, 27 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

All I was trying to do here is to make sure that whatever the claims made on wikipedia are backed up with reliable and verifiable sources. When you make a statement and back it up with an unreliable website, YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED until you produce a reliable and verifiable source. | |||

| Если ты читал источник не внимательно, вот цитата: "В медицинской сфере дискриминация привела к тому, что неработающие граждане без регистрации по месту жительства не могут оформить медицинский полис. Те же, кто медицинский полис имеет, не могут получить медицинскую помощь на территории, не совпадающей с их регистрацией." И прописка, это лишь одна из причин, по которой всеобщее право на бесплатную медицину остаётся только на бумаге. | |||
| Другая распространённая, это то, что значительная часть страны рпботает "нелегально" получает зарплату в конвертах и, как следствие, также не имеет полиса. Я не знаю откуда ты сам, но я например, живу в росси. И с тех самых пор, как закончил университет в 2002г. ни разу не имел этого полиса по разным причинам, равно как и большинство моих друзей. | |||
| Что до выщитывания процентов, то вообще не понятно к чему это. Там ясно написано, что конституция гарантирует '''всем'''. На деле, разница между повседневностью и конституцией в россии огромна.

| :Firstly, the article is discussing various types of discrimination by "propiska", not just discussing just health care. Health care is just one of the areas briefly touched upon. Secondly, your quote is meaningless without numbers of how many people this affects. The article listed potentially 3 million victims of propiska discrimination ("Количество потенциальных жертв подобной дискриминации составляет минимум 3 миллиона человек.") - that is less than 2% of Russia's population. This by itself shows that access to health care is hardly a big problem. But I'll add some points. | |||
| :Furthermore, it states half of the 3 million figure are people working in Moscow, ("Около половины от этого числа людей работают в Москве, остальные, как правило, трудятся в других крупных городах страны") so it is hardly a nationwide problem. Furthermore, this 3 million figure counts all the various aspects of discrimination via propiska that the article covered (the article covered the right to work, to health care, to buy state housing, registration of motor vehicles, to obtain a loan and suffrage - "Среди прав, которые незаконно поставлены в зависимость от наличия регистрации, - право на труд, на медицинскую помощь, на покупку квартир по программе "Доступное жилье", на регистрацию автомобилей, на получение кредита и даже активное избирательное право."), not just health care. So the figure for people affected by solely health care, not counting all these other aspects which are included in this 3 million figure, would be even smaller, and the article doesn't provide this information anyway, which is the only information we are interested in.--] (]) 16:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::The statement is ''you can't get free health care without proper "propiska".'' So i don't know the way how this figure could be even smaller than amount of people without proper "propiska". Another statement ''you can't get free health care if you work illegally.'' And lot of russians do. And anyway, as i told you above, that article says "Russia's constitution guarantees free, universal health care for '''all''' citizens."

| :::Sure, there might be some cases of this, but it shouldn't be added to the article per ] as it affects so little people (less than 2% of the population - even less when you discount all the other discriminations that are included in that figure).
