	----
			Dear Ghirlandajo,
			Thank you for your modifications, but please be informed that you are biased against the real people of Sochi and Circassia and i can't believe a real editor and researcher in Misplaced Pages can remove the truth not because he is not convinced but because the easiest way to him is to remove instead of search for resources , and i can't understand that you removed my contribution by giving a weak reason!!!
			What do you mean UNPO.org is not reliable source ????
			Please be informed that UNPO stand for Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization not a shop for doing propogandas.

			== Medieval emporia: Dierkow and Bardy ==

			I noticed you removed Dierkow and Bardy from the emporia template. I think they should be re-added. *About Dierkow, there is not much known yet, but this does not automatically make it unimportant or tiny (though there is a possiblity).

			*Bardy-Swielubie in turn is well researched and was not that tiny.
			*Dierkow and Bardy are listed here along with the other emporia now in the template (Groß Strömkendorf/Reric, Dierkow, Ralswiek, Menzlin, Bardy-Swielubie, Jawno Pomorskie/Truso).
			*If you are concerned that each archaeological side at the coast will be added, don't be, there are no more known sites at the present.
			*It does not hurt to leave them in.
			*"No evidence of non-Slavic presence": This was only true for the early, Carolingian stage of Bardy, as outlined in the next paragraph of the article, the Scandinavians moved in only in the 9th century. I rephrased the article to make that more clear.

			: I'd prefer to keep the local image. Shouldn't we respect each others contributions and attribute them properly.

That was rather disheartening. --]<sup>]</sup> 10:29, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
			::Very true. I asked you first b/c I respect the intentions of photographers/image uploaders. That said, this image is actually in the public domain (and especially since it's not your work), you really have no say over what happens to it after you upload it. I'm going to have the local copy deleted, but once that occurs, everything will be the same once I reenter the missing data (if you're not aware, Commons images are called to a local Misplaced Pages and local wikipedia templates can still be added, such as the FP and POTD templates).

			Hi, me again. I've got another question for you, if you don't mind. In the ] article, there is a mention of the village of Spas-on-the-Oka. I was unable to find anything about this village. I also did not quite understand the "which now marks the spot" part—currently, the village (''selo'') of Vorotynsk is located on the location of the ancient town, and there is a larger (and newer) settlement (''posyolok'') of Vorotynsk not too far away from it. There is (and, to the best of my knowledge, was) no populated place called "{{lang|ru|Спас-на-Оке}}" anywhere in the vicinity. Could you, please, clarify? Where exactly is Savior Vorotynsk Monastery located, do you know? Same goes for New and Old Vorotynsk villages—are these in reference to the selo and posyolok? Thanks again!—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 15:34, March&nbsp;6, 2009 (UTC)
			* Check map coords here . Spas is referenced on many similar tourist sites, it has postcode 248903 and appears to be administered by the city of Kaluga although nearby Vorotynsk is in Babyninsky rayon. ] (]) 18:37, 6 March 2009 (UTC) Correction: the P.O. is in Rosva (Росва on Google maps) which is due north from Vorotynsk, east of Spas. ] (]) 18:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
			**Thanks, NVO, it helps, although this still does not resolve everything. In addition to Spas in jurisdiction of Kaluga, there is also another Spas in Babyninsky District; both are listed simply as "Spas", not "Spas-na-Oke" (which is why I ignored them when posting the original note) and none of the two is located on the spot where ancient Vorotynsk stood (the selo of Vorotynsk is in that spot now). Any further ideas?—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 18:49, March&nbsp;6, 2009 (UTC)
			***Here's the almighty KLADR , see fifth line from the bottom of list. It is деревня Спас, Спасский сельский округ города Калуги. "Na Oke" is omitted in all official data; it is actually inside Oka-Ugra salient. Kaluga police has a vacancy for a local cop - wanna apply? ] (]) 19:04, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
			****Ah yeah, here's the dream job I always wanted, thanks so much :) Regarding Spas, any clues as to when the "-na-Oke" suffix is/was used? Or is it more of a colloquial name that never made it to the official records?
			****Anyway, based on this discussion, is everyone going to be OK with me butchering ] a bit? The monastery sentence should be moved to ] (based on the coordinates); "Spas-na-Oke" does not seem to do anything with Vorotynsk except being located fairly close (but definitely not on the spot of old Vorotynsk the town), so its mention can be removed; also removed should be the mentions of New and Old Vorotynsk (which are not officially called that). Sounds good so far? Thanks!—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 20:09, March&nbsp;6, 2009 (UTC)
			****By the way, my 1859 book on inhabited localities of Peremyshlsky Uyezd of Kaluga Governorate lists the selo of Spas (near the Ugra and Oka Rivers) as "Spas or Spasskoye", so the "-na-Oke" designation must be relatively recent.—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 20:14, March&nbsp;6, 2009 (UTC)

	The article links to Russian opera, and is part of the Russian opera project. As far including him under the category of "Russian opera singers", I think that is inappropriate because I don't know of other instances where people have been catagorized by the type of opera they sang as opposed to his background. As far as labeling him Ukrainian in the introduction: that is the only part of the article that lists him as such, other than his place of birth.

	] Well! There is definitely an Italian influence in the windows, symmetry and machiolations. However, in spite of the series of renaissance round topped windows - the building says to me that it is in the style of German Gothic. Compare the tower with that of the cathedral at Ulm (1377 - 1417) I would even go one step further and say (this is my own opinion) that it was inspired by the 14th century Town Hall and belfry at Bruges - those dominating central towers are a distinctive feature of Belgian Gothic. So basically we have here a building which is predominantly renaissance. with a gothic inspired tower which is too dominating to be ignored. If it can only be in one category I suppose it has to be (because of the windows and symmetry) ] and not be too specific. Personally I think it looks like a Victorian crematorium! - pity we can't have a category - ]
			Fringe theory? What are talking about? The whole Russian history is the fringe theory. Why are parimary chronicles lay the base of Russian history? Book of Veles is being denied by the Russian church. Of course, because that church primary mission to destroy our history, the Slavic history. The primary chronicles were written by that church to come up with the new history. Why is that there are no prior historical records exist until those chronicles? Are we to believe that our ancestors were that stupid that they left us no historical records? Or, maybe, were they eliminated? I believe so. ] exists and it is the only surviving record of our ancient history. Why do we want to deny it? What would be the reason to come up with what the church believes to be not true?

	Now for the other one ]. I think we can stay firmly in Italy with this one - look at the tower of Modena Cathedral you can see the Duma's tower in its Romanesque earliest form, and there lies the problem it is more Romanesque and Gothic (pre-Renaissance) than what is generally understood as Italianate. Take a look here at the Palazzo Communale in Bologna - there I feel is the inspiration for the Duma. It was begun in 1287 . I know other people (probably Wetman - will have strong and justfied differing views ), but I am tempted to say ] - but I could easily be convinced to change my mind - I've changed it twice writing this - sorry to be not more help.

I just spent half an hour preparing the next update and asked you a courteous question whether you would mind if I used the alternate wording I put on the talk page, hardly a diatribe as you characterise it.</s> (Struck due to cross-posting edit conflict). I agree that there is too much negative commentary appearing on the page now, and you will note that I hardly ever comment on other noms.

			== Aleksey vs. Alexei (Fyodorov) ==
	:I agree with you about the aims of DYK, and that they should be kept simple and flexible (you might want to have a look at the discussion at ], which got somewhat hijacked by referencing hardliners). Yes, selection of items will always be subjective, and that's not a bad thing. The problem I saw with your wording was that it didn't relate clearly to the text of the article which says that ''"Klodt depicted his powerful enemy's face under the tail of one of the bronze stallions"'', which is a bit ambiguous. That reads to me that the figure beneath the horse is the horse tamer (but sculpted with the face of Klodt's enemy), rather than the actual enemy in question, OR (unlikely) the face of his enemy was literally sculpted on the horse beneath the tail. I spent a good deal of time trying various rewordings, including mention of his death after discovery of the missing tongues, but couldn't develop anything that read well in relation to the article (IMHO). Hence my simplified version and my initial post here. Please rest assured I was not trying to be difficult or picky, and please do continue your excellent work in writing, finding and nominating new articles such as this.

			== Re:Salon ==
			I see your point, and personally, I would find that interesting to read. But it would be difficult: the article has a section of "Salons outside of France", where the nations outside of France are given a summary - such as the first salons, the most notable salon-holders and a few words about the importance and characteristics given to the phenomena in each country. There, of course, Russia should be included as well. To give Russia its own section would, therefore, make it necessary to give each nation its own section. France is already treated specially, but that is of course because it is the original country of the phenomena. My suggestion is therefore, that Russia is either included in the "Salons outside of France"-section, or, if it is given its own section, that each nation mentioned in the "Salons outside of France"-section is given its own chapter under this title, where Russia, of course, is one. Individual Salon-holders al deserve their own articles. Good luck! --] (]) 12:55, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

			== sennaya square ==
	==Miskolc churches==
	Hi,
			Hi Ghidlandajo, could you please let me know why you replaced the photo that I put in the Sennaya Square page?
	You removed the ] from the Gothic architecture category on May 23. I admit I'm not an expert on architecture, but this church is clearly Gothic in my opinion, and is commonly regarded as Gothic in all sources. The picture in the article may be misleading, since it shows not the church itself but the 16th century belfry. (I couldn't take a decent picture of the church because it is surrounded by trees.) Here are a few googled pictures of the church itself:
			The photo you put was taken from the Russian version, but it's not a good photo at all, because it's at night, so you can't see anything, and you can't distinguish any recognisable features of Sennaya Square.
			Thanks.

			Hi Ghirlandajo, thank you for reply. I understand your point of view, and I am thankful for you opinion, specially because you have a lot of experience, and I'm very new at editing wikipedia articles.
	Also, I answered to what you wrote on ].
			In my opinion, the night photo taken from the Russian article is not good, for the following 4 reasons:
	regards,
			1) it's at night
			2) you can't see anything
			3) you can't recognise sennaya square in it
			4) it contains things that are wrong, such as the column seen at the back, which doesn't exist anymore
			Also in my opinion, the photo that I put is better because:
	– ]&nbsp;] ] 15:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
			1) it doesn't have any of the problems with the other photo
			2) everybody can recognise sennaya ploshchad from this photo
			For these reasons, I understand that the photo that I put is not 100% ideal, but I think it's better than the night photo from the Russian article.
	Thanks for restoring the category. I'll try to include some pictures that show the church itself, not only the non-gothic belfry. regards, – ]&nbsp;] ] 14:33, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

	Hi, Ghirlandajo! I noticed your dislike for city infoboxes and wanted to ask you if you are opposed to the whole idea of infoboxes in articles on Russian cities/towns, or if you just do not like the implementation the Wikiproject Cities developed. The reason for my asking is that I intend to eventually develop an infobox which would be specific to Russian cities/towns (kind of like a mix of those in Russian Misplaced Pages and {{tl|Federal subject of Russia}}). Would you back me up in this, or do you not want to see those infoboxes at all (if so, why)? I wanted to collect Russian community's ideas before I do that anyway. I was not planning to do it so soon, but if people start adding those ugly generic templates, we'd better have an alternative sooner than later.

	I disagree that infoboxes are useless, but completely agree that adding them at this point of time in their present form is going to be a mess. The positive side of infoboxes is that they can include information that otherwise simply pollutes the actual article (former names, town status year, jurisdiction, population trends, coordinates, official website, coats of arms (what's wrong with having those, by the way?), etc. etc.). Having all this basic information in one place cleans up the article and allows editors to see immediately if anything is missing&mdash;not an easy feat when all this info is scattered around in bits and pieces of text. It also helps determine if the article is indeed an article, or just a long stub with Rambot-like narrative statistics. The down side, of course, is that adding an infobox to the majority of Russian city/town geo-stubs in their present form would leave nothing in the text body, and that the current infobox layout is too generic and contains too much information irrelevant or poorly applicable to Russia. Anyway, if an infobox developed to specifically deal with Russian cities/towns is created, if image layout issues are resolved, and if such a template is added in a way that does not diminish the quality/visual appearance of an article, and if it is only added to the articles that have content covering issues beyond simple stats, would you, well, if not support, but at least be neutral to such an initiative?&mdash;]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 13:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps these associations or some details of the interior led to the name "Alhambra" which was applied to the south part of the palace from 1844 onward. Filatova in her catalogue of the Vorontsovs' portrait gallery (Г. Г. Филатова. Портретная галерея Воронцовых. Volume 1.

	I'll go down some of the changes I made:
			The bold conflicts were more historically important or more successful in the achievement of their goals.] (]) 15:28, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
	1) I changed the divisions in the article on Symbolist literature because it is usually described as being composed of two generations (decadents inspired by French literature and German philosopy, mystics inspired by the writings of Solovyov) rather than three waves.
			* Who decides which conflicts are important and which are not? There is no way a rebellion that spread over the territory roughly the size of Western Europe is less important than events in Bulgaria. --]<sup>]</sup> 08:25, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
			==CPSU Central Committee members==
	2) I deleted the analytical section on Blok's poetry for two reasons. First of all, it was written with a lack of clarity. Secondly, an analysis of Blok's poetry belongs in the article on Blok, not the article on Symbolism.
			This might seem like a strange question, since its something I should probably do myself, but since I can't speak or understand Russian its a bit difficult. Even so, do you know anyone who would be interested in creating articles on the 28th different Central Committee (a list of their members, similar to ]). I have , found it by using Google Translate, but as you may understand, the translation services falters from time to time very seriously, which makes it all but impossible in certain cases to know who is actually who.

			==Merger discussion for ]==
	4) I deleted certain areas that appeared to be biased in favor of one Symbolist writer over another. As big of a name as Zinaida Gippius should not be described as a second-rate poet (especially when interest in her works is very much rising at the moment), and Annensky should not be described as the only Symbolist writer from the first generation to preserve his reputation, considering that his works are considerably harder to find than those of, say, Sologub, Merezhkovsky and Voloshin. Also the huge focus on Blok and Bely (which should be kept in their own pages) stressed their importance in the movement a little too much. I tried to preserve an accurate and unbiased portrait of Russian Symbolism as a whole. Though Petersburg is an important prose work, so are The Petty Demon and The Fiery Angel. And I think that the current, slimmer, section on Blok portrays his fame as a Symbolist (and, in general, Russian) poet even better than before, though perhaps some attention should be paid to his dramas as well.

	:Браво маэстро Гирландайо. Мне нравится Ваша работа. Но вот такой вопрос: как перевести название оперы "Sbitenshchik" ("Сбитенщик" – "Sbitenshchik"). Справка: Сбитенщик - продавец сбитня, Сбитень= горячий напиток из "подожжоннаго мёду с пряностями". Хотя возможно и другое значение: "Сбитнем одеться, укутаться". "Сбитнем ходят свадебные тысяцкие в зипуне, бешмете и тулупе." (В. Даль) Речь в опере идёт о ловком пронырливом парне (продавце сбитня), сумевшего всех обхитрить и состряпять свадьбу.

	No whim, however, involved. I've slowly been working on the history of Olympic rowing, Vyacheslav Ivanov, the rower, was the greatest of his generation, and one of the greatest of all time. He rowed in the premier event, the men's single scull, he won 3 Olympic Golds, and he did so with pananche and flair. I did a google search and the hits for Vyacheslav Ivanov, the poet, and Vyacheslav Ivanov, the oarsman, were comparable. I then looked at Encyclopedia Britanica as authority, and it gives the Vyacheslav Ivanov listing to the rower, but it has more internal references to the poet. Basically a toss-up.
	So given the conflict, and not knowing the Wiki rules better, I resolved the ambiguity the best way I knew how. (I also corrected all of the links). Although I may have overstepped the bounds, I would hope that I acted correctly.

			Please move again ] to ]. If you had read the article, you would have noticed that, in this case, '']'' ≠ royal. The palace name arises from the fact that it was an almunia or ] (from Arabic riyad, garden), not because it was a royal residence.
	== Apraksin ==
			That's why the name of the palace in Spanish is ''Palacio del Real'' and not ''Palacio Real'', or in Valencian ''Palau del Real'' instead of ''Palau Reial''.
	Dearest Ghirlandajo, I did move the page to a more appropriate title and I don't care much for your offences. There were two guys named Stepan Apraksin and they needed a disambiguation. Whether named as such in the title or not, it is still needed - and this has nothing to do with me personally. Nor does it have to do anything with you.

			I read that you have absented yourself from the English Misplaced Pages, but I'm hoping you might still answer a question. ] found an unexpected word in the article ], a page that you have modified in the past. The section in question reads: <blockquote>'''Bailiff'''<br>

This story was an '''<span style="color:#2E4DEA">angreement</span>''', though not explicit, of a letter written in response to Gogol's Slavophile tendencies. This story is one of the most vivid examples of the peasantry's exploitation.</blockquote>

	Hello, Ghirlandajo, I am Garcilaso. I know you beacuse of your Misplaced Pages editions, and I think that we both have common interest in History and Art. I don`t know the reason to eliminate the image of The ], the most important piece of International Baroque in Spain, designed by ] and made by ] in cooperation with ] and ], among others. If you think it is not representative, I must say that the two photograph try to represent the two main streams of Baroque in Spain. I am sorry if not everything here was Churrigueresque, but it is a fact. About the "thorough cleanup" you proposed in that section, I agree with you if it consists in a improval of grammatical constructions and ortography: I am afraid that my English is far from being Shakespearean. But if it is about the meaning of what I say, I would apreaciate your suggestions before deleting. I have plenty good documentation about the matter.

	:Hi again: International Baroque is a term used by Spanish scholars to definy the sober, classical and "international" pieces of the late Spanish baroque. It is called international because it is strongly influenced in italian baroque, and some of the buildings are made by foreign architects, or in collaboration with the local. I have never seen it translated, only ''Barroco Internacional'', then I don't know if any specifical English term exists for it. Thank you for your help. See you!--] 18:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

This user is one of the 400 most active English Wikipedians of all time. The history of Sochi Dear Ghirlandajo, Thank you for your modifications, but please be informed that you are biased against the real people of Sochi and Circassia and i can't believe a real editor and researcher in Misplaced Pages can remove the truth not because he is not convinced but because the easiest way to him is to remove instead of search for resources , and i can't understand that you removed my contribution by giving a weak reason!!! What do you mean UNPO.org is not reliable source ???? Please be informed that UNPO stand for Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization not a shop for doing propogandas. Best Regards, ShapsougSochi1864 Portrait of Anna Yekaterina Countess Bestuzheva-Ryumina (1693-1761) Dear Ghirlandajo, With respect to a biographical study concerning the celebrated adventurer Friedrich Freiherr von der Trenck I am looking for a portrait of Countess Bestuzheva-Ryumina, the wife of chancellor A. P. Bestuzhev-Riumin. Unfortunately, though a German lady, it seems that there is no portrait of her known in Germany. Can you help? I am looking to hear from you. If possible, can you send me your answer as eMail to andreas_pechtl@hotmail.com ? Yours sincerely, Andreas Pechtl, 7 December 2009 Project Ukraine гуд найт! I saw you wrote some excellent new article about Ukraine! Thanks for that! Would you like to join our project Ukraine (click on advert to learn more). We could really need some new articles about the subjects you wrote your last Ukrainian articles about (there are lots of castles there!)! — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 21:55, 25 February 2009 (UTC) Medieval emporia: Dierkow and Bardy I noticed you removed Dierkow and Bardy from the emporia template. I think they should be re-added. *About Dierkow, there is not much known yet, but this does not automatically make it unimportant or tiny (though there is a possiblity). Bardy-Swielubie in turn is well researched and was not that tiny. Dierkow and Bardy are listed here Sebastian Brather, Archäologie der westlichen Slawen: Siedlung, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft im früh- und hochmittelalterlichen Ostmitteleuropa, Walter de Gruyter, 2001, ISBN 3110170612, p.142 along with the other emporia now in the template (Groß Strömkendorf/Reric, Dierkow, Ralswiek, Menzlin, Bardy-Swielubie, Jawno Pomorskie/Truso). If you are concerned that each archaeological side at the coast will be added, don't be, there are no more known sites at the present. It does not hurt to leave them in. "No evidence of non-Slavic presence": This was only true for the early, Carolingian stage of Bardy, as outlined in the next paragraph of the article, the Scandinavians moved in only in the 9th century. I rephrased the article to make that more clear. If you still think it is a bad idea to put them back in, let me know. Regards Skäpperöd (talk) 11:55, 4 March 2009 (UTC) Feel free to readd them! By the way, I don't think we should limit the template's scope to the Baltic Sea as you did. --Ghirla 11:59, 4 March 2009 (UTC) Awards For creating so many Lviv related articles, I hereby award you the Ukrainian Barnstar of National Merit. Note the raspberry color of the ribbon, the historical color of the Dnieper Cossacks. — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 20:26, 5 March 2009 (UTC) Thanks. I didn't know that the Cossacks liked raspberries :) More Lviv substubs will be added as soon as I have free time in the Russian Misplaced Pages. Best, Ghirla 21:47, 5 March 2009 (UTC) Question about image Hi there. I'm doing some work on tagging featured pictures on the English Misplaced Pages. Coming across this image, I found that you added a {{NoCommons}} tag. This was back in 2006, and the current preference is to put everything on Commons. Do you have a problem with me asking for this image to be deleted from WP or do you still have a pressing reason? Thanks! ~ ωαdεstεr16♣kiss me 04:49, 6 March 2009 (UTC) I'd prefer to keep the local image. Shouldn't we respect each others contributions and attribute them properly. Last year I found it on Main Page of the Wikimedia Commons without any information as to who uploaded and nominated the picture. That was rather disheartening. --Ghirla 10:29, 6 March 2009 (UTC) Very true. I asked you first b/c I respect the intentions of photographers/image uploaders. That said, this image is actually in the public domain (and especially since it's not your work), you really have no say over what happens to it after you upload it. I'm going to have the local copy deleted, but once that occurs, everything will be the same once I reenter the missing data (if you're not aware, Commons images are called to a local Misplaced Pages and local wikipedia templates can still be added, such as the FP and POTD templates). Sorry for any confusion, but PD images are not needed on Misplaced Pages; they belong on Commons so every language Misplaced Pages can access them. Thanks for understanding. ~ ωαdεstεr16♣T 21:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC) FWIW, I credited you as the original uploader and included much of the info from the local copy to the Commons copy (the caption of the local copy was more complete). Hopefully this doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth, but it's the right thing to do. ~ ωαdεstεr16♣T 21:42, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Johann Hermann von Fersen Interesting move. Do you have a link to attest the German version of his name? I can't seem to find one. Neddyseagoon - talk 10:34, 6 March 2009 (UTC) See here, for instance. By the way, the text of the Russian article was taken verbatim from the Russian Biographical Dictionary. --Ghirla 10:36, 6 March 2009 (UTC) Luigi Pernier On T:TDYK]] you said there was little information in English. That doesn't really matter. Are their other-language sources to use? - Mgm| 12:17, 6 March 2009 (UTC) Baikoff Hi, Ghirla! When you get a moment, could you check if this stub is legit? Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:08, March 6, 2009 (UTC) Why, it's a nonsensical joke --Ghirla 14:11, 6 March 2009 (UTC) Thought as much. Will prod it now. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:45, March 6, 2009 (UTC) Vorotynsk Hi, me again. I've got another question for you, if you don't mind. In the Vorotynsk article, there is a mention of the village of Spas-on-the-Oka. I was unable to find anything about this village. I also did not quite understand the "which now marks the spot" part—currently, the village (selo) of Vorotynsk is located on the location of the ancient town, and there is a larger (and newer) settlement (posyolok) of Vorotynsk not too far away from it. There is (and, to the best of my knowledge, was) no populated place called "Спас-на-Оке" anywhere in the vicinity. Could you, please, clarify? Where exactly is Savior Vorotynsk Monastery located, do you know? Same goes for New and Old Vorotynsk villages—are these in reference to the selo and posyolok? Thanks again!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:34, March 6, 2009 (UTC) Check map coords here . Spas is referenced on many similar tourist sites, it has postcode 248903 and appears to be administered by the city of Kaluga although nearby Vorotynsk is in Babyninsky rayon. NVO (talk) 18:37, 6 March 2009 (UTC) Correction: the P.O. is in Rosva (Росва on Google maps) which is due north from Vorotynsk, east of Spas. NVO (talk) 18:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC) Thanks, NVO, it helps, although this still does not resolve everything. In addition to Spas in jurisdiction of Kaluga, there is also another Spas in Babyninsky District; both are listed simply as "Spas", not "Spas-na-Oke" (which is why I ignored them when posting the original note) and none of the two is located on the spot where ancient Vorotynsk stood (the selo of Vorotynsk is in that spot now). Any further ideas?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:49, March 6, 2009 (UTC) Here's the almighty KLADR , see fifth line from the bottom of list. It is деревня Спас, Спасский сельский округ города Калуги. "Na Oke" is omitted in all official data; it is actually inside Oka-Ugra salient. Kaluga police has a vacancy for a local cop - wanna apply? NVO (talk) 19:04, 6 March 2009 (UTC) Ah yeah, here's the dream job I always wanted, thanks so much :) Regarding Spas, any clues as to when the "-na-Oke" suffix is/was used? Or is it more of a colloquial name that never made it to the official records? Anyway, based on this discussion, is everyone going to be OK with me butchering Vorotynsk a bit? The monastery sentence should be moved to Rosva (based on the coordinates); "Spas-na-Oke" does not seem to do anything with Vorotynsk except being located fairly close (but definitely not on the spot of old Vorotynsk the town), so its mention can be removed; also removed should be the mentions of New and Old Vorotynsk (which are not officially called that). Sounds good so far? Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:09, March 6, 2009 (UTC) By the way, my 1859 book on inhabited localities of Peremyshlsky Uyezd of Kaluga Governorate lists the selo of Spas (near the Ugra and Oka Rivers) as "Spas or Spasskoye", so the "-na-Oke" designation must be relatively recent.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:14, March 6, 2009 (UTC) DYK for Stroganov Palace On 13 March, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Stroganov Palace, which you recently nominated.

Royalbroil 04:24, 13 March 2009 (UTC) My user space I had noticed you were returned to us, is one allowed to say welcome back? before fiddling with my Versailles, you should go and take a good look at Winter Palace and make some changes there, I needed you a few month ago writing that - you should have been writing it! - Welcome back :-) Giano (talk) 21:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC) Thank you, my friend, but I still spend most of my time in Russian Misplaced Pages. My contributions in English are limited to fixing some pesky errors, and I would start an occasional sub-stub every once in a while. --Ghirla 22:26, 21 March 2009 (UTC) DYK for Luigi Pernier On 17 March, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Luigi Pernier, which you recently nominated. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. --Dravecky (talk) 04:07, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Order of Glory Hi there, Andrei! Thanx for fixing the picture of the Order of Glory on my user page! Some dude erased a while back claiming it to be a copyvio or something like that :). How are you these days? Will you ever return to serious editing in English Misplaced Pages? Drop me a line. KNewman (talk) 08:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC) Beregovaya compressor station Hi, Ghirla. Could you help with the exact location of the Beregovaya compressor station? Some sources says that it is located in Arkhipo-Osipovka, and most of the sources says that at Dzhubga, e.g. this map of gas pipelines. By my understanding it is located in west from Dzhubga and in east from Arkhipo-Osipovka, and definitely there is only one compressor station, not two. Do you knew any reliable source about the location? Beagel (talk) 07:19, 19 April 2009 (UTC) The map is in error. The Beregovaya (literally, "coastal") station, launched in November 2005 as part of the Blue Stream network, is situated in the Drovyanaya Shchel' gorge near Arkhipo-Osipovka, Gelendzhik District at an elevation of 235 meters. Some pictures are available here. I suspect there will be another compressor station built in Dzhubga as part of the South Stream project. --Ghirla 10:36, 19 April 2009 (UTC) Thanks. It should be the same compressor station (probably expanded) for the South Stream. There is only one incoming pipeline, and it is not logical that the compressor station for the South Stream would be located east from the Blue Stream pipeline.

Could you, please, clarify, why the title says "Avdotia" when her actual name is "Евдокия"? I do not immediately see it.

I was tempted to use it for illustrating the Vignola article, but, since the attribution to him is by no means certain, should we let it rest on commons in relative obsurity? --Ghirla 08:59, 3 May 2009 (UTC) Your inputs to the Shamordino Convent and other articles Hey Andrei, I've noticed you've been editing some of the Misplaced Pages articles I earlier uploaded images to. Many of the images have been deleted for no apparent reason. I will upload them again. If you don't like some images you can always move them to a gallery. Please, move Shamordino Monastery to Shamordino Convent (I tried but couldn't do this). This is a community of nuns. Denghu (talk) Only a sysop can move this article.

Shubinator (talk) 01:59, 10 May 2009 (UTC) Philippa of Hainault Hello Ghirlando. As regards, Philippa of Hainault, I believe that Kuthen of the Kumens's wife was of the Galitzine family. Halicz is just another version of her name as is Galicie. Her first name is a mystery.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:53, 13 May 2009 (UTC) There's some mistake on the part of amateur researchers cited in the article. There is no record of Kotyan's wife, but a medieval Russian chronicle names several of his sons-in-law, including Mstislav Mstislavich, Prince of Halych/Galicia (in connection with the Battle of Kalka in which they both took part). In other words, it's Kotyan's daughter rather than wife who may be described as "N of Galicia". --Ghirla 18:44, 13 May 2009 (UTC) I believe you may be right, however his wife was most likely of the Halych family as well. Until that can be proved, I'll remove the reference to Kuthen's wife from the Philippa of Hainault article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 05:53, 14 May 2009 (UTC) Mission accomplished. It now reads that Elizabeth was the daughter of Kuthen only, no mention of her mother. Thank you for drawing my attention to this error (which was made by me). Hopefully we'll discover who mothered Kuthen's children.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:00, 14 May 2009 (UTC) Fine. --Ghirla 06:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC) DYK for Borki train disaster On 15 May, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Borki train disaster, which you recently nominated.

Why you behave the way you do is not for me to say. --Ghirla 10:57, 21 May 2009 (UTC) I disagree with your first assertion, of course. But you have not answered my question. You appear to be associating me with IRC, and in this you are incorrect. If you don't care about being wrong, then say so and I won't trouble you any further. If you do care about being wrong (and I would rather hope you did) I'm interested in what you meant William M. Connolley (talk) 12:04, 21 May 2009 (UTC) Ghirlandajo merely mentioned this editor as an example of the atmosphere of intimidation, which appears to be demonstrated perfectly well right here.

Why are parimary chronicles lay the base of Russian history? Book of Veles is being denied by the Russian church. Of course, because that church primary mission to destroy our history, the Slavic history. The primary chronicles were written by that church to come up with the new history. Why is that there are no prior historical records exist until those chronicles? Are we to believe that our ancestors were that stupid that they left us no historical records? Or, maybe, were they eliminated? I believe so. Book of Veles exists and it is the only surviving record of our ancient history. Why do we want to deny it? What would be the reason to come up with what the church believes to be not true? Do not forget what was happening at the times when the Rus was converted into Christianity. All Slavic religion was eradicated. Why? Because they did not know how to believe? :) What a crack! No wonder that the church now wants to get rid of Book of Veles.

Shortly after you linked Stalinist to Joseph Stalin, but neither on that page nor on Stalinism can I find references to "voluntarism". Voluntarism itself is a disambiguation page.

I noted in past edits of the Aleksey Fyodorov page you favor this as the more accepted spelling of his surname, yet the page text uses "Alexei" throughout. Wouldn't consistency be appropriate? (I only know the editing rule regarding AE vs. BE in the English-language WP, that a page remains as initially written in this regard.) I need to know this for the list of key words I maintain for our archives. What do you advise? -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 06:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC) I think Alexei should be changed to Aleksey wherever possible. Best regards. --Ghirla 06:23, 16 June 2010 (UTC) Would you say this is a rule or guideline particularly in transliterating from the Ukrainian, or in general from all Cyrillic-alphabet languages? (N.B. none of which I've studied; I'm just at the stage of mastering the letters.) -- Deborahjay (talk) 06:49, 16 June 2010 (UTC) This applies to Russian names.

No, Britannica is not an authority on hydrology. Yes, Chudsko-Pskovskoe is a possibility, but in any case, this has to be discussed at the talk page first, and again, how about refs ? Materialscientist (talk) 06:01, 6 August 2010 (UTC) Britannica is an authority on everything. It's up to you to prove that it's not reliable. This is the best known general encyclopaedia reflecting the views of the scientific mainstream. Besides, I don't see a point in following hydrologists on the issue. If anyone, we should consult historians/linguists. --Ghirla 06:50, 6 August 2010 (UTC) This is a discussion for the talk page of the article. In short, Peipus is a historical name, which was the major one, but not anymore. By area, the lakes (there are three of them, not one) are more in Russia, but the English literature calls them more by Estonian name (try searching any source, Google Books, Google, whatever, restricting to English language results). Being bold is good, but to a certain extent. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 06:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC) Your reply did nothing to address my concerns. From what I can see, the coverage of Russian lakes/rivers in the English segment of Misplaced Pages is a joke. There are no pages on many major rivers (check the number of interwiki links in ru:Демьянка (река) or ru:Курейка (река), the former being one of Asia's longest rivers). And the existing pages lack in content: e.g., Don River (Russia), with its ridiculously Anglo-centric title. All right, why should I care. --Ghirla 07:07, 6 August 2010 (UTC) Well, that what I was doing these weeks - expanding those articles lake/river/sea articles, but stopped for now, just before Don, and any help is welcome. As to Peipus, there are wikipedia naming policies and conventions, and it seems to me after your reply that this has to be decided at the talk page, and you are welcome to bring your calm thoughts .. Materialscientist (talk) 07:14, 6 August 2010 (UTC) Don Thanks for the tip. I think Don River (Russia) should go to Don. Or maybe we should just move Thames to Thames River (England) :-) -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:59, 6 August 2010 (UTC) There is little we can do about it.

But it would be difficult: the article has a section of "Salons outside of France", where the nations outside of France are given a summary - such as the first salons, the most notable salon-holders and a few words about the importance and characteristics given to the phenomena in each country. There, of course, Russia should be included as well. To give Russia its own section would, therefore, make it necessary to give each nation its own section. France is already treated specially, but that is of course because it is the original country of the phenomena. My suggestion is therefore, that Russia is either included in the "Salons outside of France"-section, or, if it is given its own section, that each nation mentioned in the "Salons outside of France"-section is given its own chapter under this title, where Russia, of course, is one. Individual Salon-holders al deserve their own articles. Good luck! --Aciram (talk) 12:55, 21 August 2010 (UTC) Not every paragraph in a Misplaced Pages article needs a boldface title.

I am, certainly, not that. The information about the Vladimir Principality is too vague. There is really no historical development on how it actually appeared and why until Yuri Dolgoruki. There is also no clear mentioning that Andrei Bogolyubsky changed the Vladimir Principality into the Grand Principality. Little or no information is on the conflicts that took place in the Northeastern Rus. The information that I posted is drawn from other articles and mostly based on the Russian version as well.

I may recall one or two where I got a distinct impression that you didn't like them, but a "number"? 90% of the moves I did since August were those of soccer players; somehow I don't think that's what you've got a problem with? Care to elaborate? I always appreciate feedback, even from an old grump like you. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 6, 2010; 14:10 (UTC) I refer to your way of moving our articles about Russian towns to the most monstrous title imaginable, e.g., Vereshchagino, Vereshchaginsky District, Perm Krai, Usolye, Usolsky District, Perm Krai, Otradnoye, Kirovsky District, Leningrad Oblast, Chernushka, Chernushinsky District, Perm Krai, etc. As if a town of 35000 people were on the same level of prominence as a village of ten people (see Chernushka, for instance). Such moves defy common sense and everything that is important when naming articles (namely, conciseness, naturalness, and so on). --Ghirla 07:14, 7 October 2010 (UTC) Ghirla, this is not the Russian Misplaced Pages. To our average reader, an obscure town in Russia is not much different from an obscure village—it's not like we are equating, say, the village of Moskva in Kirov Oblast with the capital of Russia. The naming is in full compliance with our naming guidelines, and our guidelines are, of course, already the epitome of "common sense" and "naturalness" (OK, I'm pulling your leg here somewhat, but at least that's their intent). If you have a problem with a particular guideline, you can always file an RfC, and if you have a problem with how a guideline is being applied, you can always submit a move request. If you have reasonable concerns, I'll be the last person to ignore them. Why you choose instead to bitch about how everything sucks and only you can save the day is frankly beyond me. No offense, but it's not easy to take your opinion seriously when you start blabbering about a completely unrelated "problem" in a random venue. At any rate, the four moves you've found (one of which isn't even by me) are a far cry from "we need to run a bot to revert all that". Cut out the panic, will ya? Even the statistics don't corroborate you theory that these moves are somehow "damaging". Chernushka, for example, was moved on August 20. It was getting on average around ten hits a day prior to being moved, and it keeps getting about the same number of hits after being moved. Apparently, the article isn't as hard to find as you would lead us to believe. And Usolye, Usolsky District, Perm Krai is getting more daily hits now than before the move (around 10 vs. ~2-5 before the move). Hmmm...—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 7, 2010; 14:33 (UTC) Those statistics are broken, nobody knows how they count hits. Why not take a cue from the Russian Misplaced Pages which at least has pages on those villages (in English Misplaced Pages, they are likely to remain red-linked for the next 15 or 30 years). If it is ru:Верещагино for Russians, I don't see why it should be so complicated for foreigners. --Ghirla 15:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC) Not sure where you got the idea that the stats are "broken" and that "nobody knows how they work", but broken or not, they are at least consistent. The numbers themselves may be off, but the trends they show are pretty accurate (DYKs, major re-writes, and moves always show a spike in activity, while forgotten and abandoned articles show a steady small stream of hits over time with no aberrations). Not that it matters. What matters is the guidelines which we (not ru_wiki) have in place. In case you haven't noticed, I am not the one in charge of writing the guidelines; I'm just a poor peasant stuck with having to enforce them (including those where lunacy is apparent). In this case, I don't even have a problem with the applicable guidelines, so why should I be the one to "take a cue" and waste my time trying to think up something better to replace them with? Like I said in the past, if you have a problem with the way things are done, you either find RfC thataway, or simply live with the parts of the system you don't like.

You added the sentence: Among his pioneering monographs on climatology were "Climate and Life" (1922) and "Foundations of Climatology" (1928). I wonder if "Foundations of Climatology" is a typo. There is such a work, but by someone else. Berg wrote "Principles of climatology", and I'm wondering if you meant to say that. I don't know who added the list of works, but one is "Principles of climatology" (1926). However, this search suggests it was 1938, not 1926. Do you concur? BTW, 175K edits? Quite impressive.

Anyone is free to move this discussion to a more appropriate place. My question is this: is it me who is suffering from polofobia, or does Misplaced Pages have some kind of a pro-Polish bias? I started off studying the list of largest domes of its time. On the list I see that Jahrhunderthalle was built in Wrocław, Poland in by "Deutsches Reich Inc." or whatever. Studying the article Wrocław I learn that the town has perpetually been Polish from times immemorial. After some work on File:Wrocław Collage.png I end up reading the article on Lwów. The second sentence of the article tells me that Poles are (or were) main ethnicity of the city. Further down I understand that a terrible wrong was done to Poland in 1991 when Lwów was not returned to Polish sovereignty after the end of the second Soviet occupation. To sum up, Wrocław is totally dismissive of the existence of Breslau, while Lviv reads like a irredentist rant. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:26, 24 November 2011 (UTC) Arthaniya Что значит, не используется, а ссылки?

И как вы себе представляете, чтобы они арабское слово именно так транслитерировали? У них есть своя система транслитерации, чаще более точная, чем кириллическая, им не нужно для этого обращаться к русскоязычной литературе.

A few questions/comments, if I may: There seem to be relatively few sources in English that mention her (hmm - thinking about it, there must be something in Helen Rappaport's "No Place for Ladies"; but do let me know if there are other good ones in Russian I should be using) but most of those that do exist seem to prefer Dasha Sevastopolskaya (or a variant) in preference to Dasha from Sevastopol or Dasha of Sevastopol. Should the geographical soubriquet really be translated? Are there records to dismiss the idea that she could have died in Sevastopol in around 1910? I'm not sure Dasha is the best Russian counterpart to Florence Nightingale (a better comparison might be Mary Seacole perhaps). Ekaterina Bakunina is closer to Nightingale, although no article yet (that might change shortly), but personally, as Florence was more of an organiser than a nurse, I think Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna is the best fit. No doubt we ought to be reporting what the sources say. There are clear parallels, but I doubt Jean-Henri Dunant or the ICRC would accept that the Red Cross was "born" in Russia in the form of the Sisters of Mercy! -- Ferma (talk) 21:15, 14 December 2011 (UTC) Barnstar Russian Barnstar of National Merit   For obvious reasons.

I understand your point of view, and I am thankful for you opinion, specially because you have a lot of experience, and I'm very new at editing wikipedia articles. In my opinion, the night photo taken from the Russian article is not good, for the following 4 reasons: 1) it's at night 2) you can't see anything 3) you can't recognise sennaya square in it 4) it contains things that are wrong, such as the column seen at the back, which doesn't exist anymore Also in my opinion, the photo that I put is better because: 1) it doesn't have any of the problems with the other photo 2) everybody can recognise sennaya ploshchad from this photo For these reasons, I understand that the photo that I put is not 100% ideal, but I think it's better than the night photo from the Russian article. But like I said, you are a very important wikipedia editor, so if in your opinion it's better to have that night photo, I trust your opinion.

Per the header at the top of all the Infobox case pages the workshop closed on the 7th. I'm not an arbitration clark so I wont remove your addition myself, but it would be most polite if you would self-revert. The workshop talk page does remain open. Thryduulf (talk) 12:21, 13 August 2013 (UTC) Ternopil castle You are a complete idiot, changing Krakow to Krakiv and Jan Tarnowski to Yan Tarnovsky. This castle was built by Poland to protect Poland. I do not know why such a chauvinistic moron is still tolerated here. Tymek (talk) 21:55, 16 August 2013 (UTC) FAR Rus' Khaganate I have nominated Rus' Khaganate for a featured article review here.

Especially as you've never edited the article, you failed to give any rationale whatsoever in your edit summary. Why did you revert the merger and then go off to Ymblanter and say I've created a content fork? The page was merged, Ymblanter has had to restore my merger. Please explain your 'edits.' Thanks. Malke 2010 (talk) 20:48, 18 January 2014 (UTC) Agrippina, Countess von Zarnekau Hello, just letting you know I nominated an article you tagged as a hoax for deletion - Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Agrippina, Countess von Zarnekau. Regards. --Muchness (talk) 07:19, 30 January 2014 (UTC) Vorontsov Palace (Alupka) Can you please be so kind as to take a look at the above article, which I'm working on. I've found lots of errors in the Soviet era books on the palace, which I think/hope I am correcting - you may known better. I'm using an English book for the section on the owners, but I think it has a lot of death dates wrong because Misplaced Pages has articles (which you've worked on) on many of Shuvalovs of the same or very similar names, but the death dates don't quite correspond. I'm pretty sure they are the same people, but would like to you to check them out before I link to them from the article. Thanks. Giano (talk) 15:00, 28 February 2014 (UTC) I think this Pavel Andreyevich Shuvalov may be the one who married Prince Vorontsov's daughter. Giano (talk) 15:16, 28 February 2014 (UTC) Nope. Vorontsov's son-in-law was it:Andrej Pavlovič Šuvalov (ru:Шувалов, Андрей Павлович), the owner of Pargolovo. My article ru:Шуваловы has a family tree. An anglicized version is here. --Ghirla 15:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC) Thanks, I thought you would be the person to ask. I'll translate it from the Italian. I've just found this man Illarion Ivanovich Vorontsov-Dashkov. Interestingly, despite his name, he only lived at the Vorontsov Palace because his wife inherited it - would he have owned it himself through her, or could married woman own property in Russia at that time? Giano (talk) 16:37, 28 February 2014 (UTC) If Vorontsov-Dashkov had divorced his wife, she would have kept the estates inherited through her mother. --Ghirla 11:46, 1 March 2014 (UTC) That's interesting edit , the book is very vague as to why that wing vam to named after the Shuvalovs. I wonder if she had separated from her husband - hence she used that as her country seat rather than one of her husband's. It's odd that with so many houses, the Suvalovs (together) would choose to share one with her brother. Giano (talk) 10:19, 1 March 2014 (UTC) I believe she lived separately from her dissolute husband with her children, the young Shuvalovs, from the 1850s onward. --Ghirla 10:34, 1 March 2014 (UTC) That would explain why she and the children spent so much time at the Vorontsov property then - avoiding her husband. Is this the last private owner ? Giano (talk) 10:37, 1 March 2014 (UTC) I'm not sure. His elder brother Ivan Vorontsov-Dashkov (1868-97) had a son, Illarion Ivanovich (1893-1920), who died from typhus in Novorossiysk. That guy probably would have inherited the palace after his grandmother's death. --Ghirla 10:44, 1 March 2014 (UTC) You recent edits are all v interesting. I wonder how much of a dalliance the Princess had with Pushkin? Apparently she had Hunt (the architect) recreate "The Fountain of Bakhchisaray" in a courtyard at Alupka - an odd thing for a woman who claimed to rebuff him. I shall be writing that courtyard garden up in the grounds section tomorrow - it's all a fascinating subject that keeps leading to other interesting pages. I was thinking a single page on the 19th century palaces and castles of the Crimea would be good to do. I would quite like to do a trip there, probably though it's not currently the best holiday destination. Giano (talk) 20:43, 1 March 2014 (UTC) I bet :) There was probably nothing serious between the Countess and Pushkin, although this is a matter of some debate. He was motivated by vanity rather than a true feeling; and she spurned his advances. Poets were not highly regarded in the Russian aristocratic circles of the time. Pushkin was very young and held no official post, so there was a precipice between them. Some also found him physically repulsive. The Bakhchisaray poem was certainly a bestseller, but it did not become well known until after his departure from Odessa. --Ghirla 22:41, 1 March 2014 (UTC) How good are you on Islamic architecture? the Russian published sources say there are influences of Moorish architecture, but the English published source, which I have been heavily using (and trust), say it's not not Moorish at all, but Mughal architecture, and Mughal architecture when superimposed on European architecture appears Moorish, but isn't. Apparently in the 19hh century the palace was frequently referred to as The Alhambra, but that was erroneous because Moorish and Mughal are quite different. As you know, I will fight any corner on European architecture, but I don't understand the finer points of Islamic and only have a rudimentary understanding of it - are you or DDima (who is the primary author and got the page to GA) any wiser than me? DDima and I discovered a few months ago that the old Soviet sources did contain some errors and wishful thinking. I think it is Mughal, but don't want to discredit a Russian source if you and DDima don't agree. Giano (talk) 19:07, 5 March 2014 (UTC) Giano, I know nothing about Islamic art. For older writers, "Moorish" was an umbrella term for all Islamic architectural influences, don't you think? This building in Moscow is routinely described as Moorish Revival, for instance, although its models are Portuguese. I don't have any sources on the Crimean palaces at hand. A quick look at the Google Books found four Russian-language sources highlighting the Jama Masjid as the main inspiration for the southern facade. Some authors of guidebooks, unversed in the mysteries of architecture, repeat (in passim) that, apart from the Delhi mosque, Blore was inspired by "the palace of Muhammad I and Carlos I in Alhambra". They probably found this in some old book and so repeat without thinking. Never mind. The Lions' Terrace is not exactly the Court of the Lions. --Ghirla 17:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC) In the 1830s everyone read the Tales of the Alhambra, and Pushkin based The Tale of the Golden Cockerel on one of Irving's stories. Alhambra was probably viewed as a generic term for any luxurious Moslem residence. The line "There is no God but Allah" supposedly appears 9000 times in the Nasrid palace. Perhaps these associations or some details of the interior led to the name "Alhambra" which was applied to the south part of the palace from 1844 onward. Filatova in her catalogue of the Vorontsovs' portrait gallery (Г. Г. Филатова. Портретная галерея Воронцовых. Volume 1. Alupka, 1997) claims that the southern palace of the palace was called Alhambra on account of the inscription. --Ghirla 18:06, 8 March 2014 (UTC) Translated from the article Галиченко А.А. Воронцовский дворец в Алупке: новороссийский губернатор и английский архитектор // Пинакотека. - 2004. - № 18/19. - С. 26-31: "Elisabeth Vorontsov was fascinated by the Alhambra tales of Washington Irving and even undertook, in 1838, a journey to Spain to see the famed palace. She brought with her to Alupka the views of Alhambra interiors drawn by an Enlishman named Satu (Сату????) and Blore's design for the garden which was based on the Generalife gardens in Granada. It took several years and a help from soldiers to realize the Irving-influenced design in Alupka". --Ghirla 18:22, 8 March 2014 (UTC) Well I see that well known architectural historian Winston Churchill calls it 'Moorish' - who am I to argue with him? I think the article should point out that the architecture is strictly speaking Moghul, but conveniently suited contemporary ideals of Moorish romance. Would you be happy with that? Giano (talk) 18:39, 8 March 2014 (UTC) Of course. --Ghirla 18:50, 8 March 2014 (UTC) Good. as you may know, I have not done at FAC for years; I rather fell out with the idea, but I think I would like to see this featured. However, I am not nominating it unless you are completely happy with it. You know this sort of stuff far better than I. Giano (talk) 20:34, 8 March 2014 (UTC) Giano, I don't think I ever took part in the FAC process, and I don't think I ever will, given my poor English and lack of interest in letter-worship and pedantry. --Ghirla 22:37, 15 March 2014 (UTC) March 2014 Hello, I'm Clarinetguy097. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Novorossiysk without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Clarinetguy097 (talk) 00:58, 18 March 2014 (UTC) Kinzelyuk Waterfall Hi! I'm ChromaNebula (talk) , and I happened to notice the article Kinzelyuk Waterfall as I was patrolling Recent Changes. I understand that you reverted my addition of a tag. I did not mean to confuse or offend you. On the contrary, I was confused by the claim that it was "probably" the highest waterfall in Russia, and thought the source cited referred to the Talnikovy Waterfall (I was mistaken). Another thing I noticed about the article is that most of the links to other geographical features in that area are red links. Could you consider possibly creating those pages (as I can't read the Russian sources)? ChromaNebula (talk) 16:25, 21 March 2014 (UTC) Hello. Normally I'm tempted to write an English geo-stub only when I see a whopping number of interwiki links (e.g., Kureika River). I don't think the American public cares about the mountains or rivers of Russia, even if the mountains and rivers are really huge. So it's not worth wasting my time. Especially since the stubs here are quickly disfigured by ugly infoboxes or by User:Ezhiki's nasty activities. --Ghirla 18:02, 21 March 2014 (UTC) A wonderful day to you too, Ghirla! :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); March 21, 2014; 18:24 (UTC) Olga of Kiev Edit Hi.

MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:37, 10 April 2014 (UTC) Ghirlandajo, it has been eleven days since the above was posted, and no action has been taken at the nomination or on the article. You have been active on Misplaced Pages in the interim, so please give your attention here as soon as possible. One week is the standard response time; in this case, if there isn't something in the next couple of days, the nomination will likely be marked for closure. Hope to see you posting soon! BlueMoonset (talk) 07:29, 21 April 2014 (UTC) You will need to do a quid pro quo (QPQ) review of another nomination for your own to be approved.

BlueMoonset (talk) 22:17, 30 April 2014 (UTC) Wikilinking Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Misplaced Pages. I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link: dates years commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical). (This even applies to infoboxes.) Thanks, and my best wishes. Tony (talk) 07:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC) Nice to see you... ...around again, and indeed to see two people adding to Nikolay Veselovsky in the same week! I've been poking around Steppes art a bit, I don't know if this is an area that interests you? I've said in the past that Middle Ages could do with some additions on Central/East European matters but I don't think we should add that the Bulgarians invented the Renaissance, as they all apparently learn on their mothers' knee. Johnbod (talk) 15:47, 24 April 2014 (UTC) Nice to see you too, Johnbod. The Boyana claim is ludicrous, yet the wider Orthodox culture was essential for the Middle Ages. This aspect is sorely underrepresented in the article (judging by the illustrations, at least). --Ghirla 12:05, 25 April 2014 (UTC) Steppes art is fascinating, but I don't have time for it at the moment. There are too many artifacts that require articles in this language edition of Misplaced Pages. The Pazyryk carpet immediately springs to mind. --Ghirla 12:08, 25 April 2014 (UTC) Template:Did you know nominations/Pastila — final call for QPQ Ghirlandajo, this is a final call for you to provide the required quid pro quo review of another DYK nomination, a requirement for your own nomination above to be approved. If we don't hear from you in the next couple of days, we will regretfully have to close your nomination as unsuccessful. I hope you will stop by and post at your nomination, which is linked above. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:00, 18 May 2014 (UTC) As you may see from my user page, I was the first wikipedian to receive a DYK medal and the 200 DYK medal and, in the words of the then arb YellowMonkey, used to be the "driving force of DYK" from 2005 on. After spending so much time and effort on DYK, I find the latest requirements to review still more DYK nominations unfair and discouraging. If DYK does not care about its patriarchs, you'd better close the nom. --Ghirla 16:33, 19 May 2014 (UTC) Is this genuine? I've just stumbled upon this page: Princess Natalia Romanovskaya-Iskander. Is it genuine or a hoax? Giano (talk) 20:44, 18 August 2014 (UTC) Apparently genuine, though the prose is excessively florid. Her stepson Vladimir Dostal is a well-known film director in Russia. Another stepson was the CEO of the Mosfilm studio. Eleonora Nikolaievna Dostal-Oruç certainly lacks notability for a Misplaced Pages article. --Ghirla 07:44, 19 August 2014 (UTC) I think I agree with this. Should we nominate the article for deletion?--Ymblanter (talk) 07:51, 19 August 2014 (UTC) I think we should. --Ghirla 09:11, 19 August 2014 (UTC) Good, I will do it later today.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC) Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Eleonora Nikolaievna Dostal-Oruç--Ymblanter (talk) 14:14, 19 August 2014 (UTC) I was just checking that she existed. I know the Romanovs fell on hard times, but I never knew they had to resort to being trick cyclists - just shows how resourceful good breeding can make one. Icidentally, I just looked at the Stroganoff Palace, "This chain of ownership was preserved until 1919 when the last Count Sergei Stroganov sold his rights to the entail" I would love to know how much his rights were worth at that time. Giano (talk) 19:47, 21 August 2014 (UTC) Bolding The bold conflicts were more historically important or more successful in the achievement of their goals.Catlemur (talk) 15:28, 8 September 2014 (UTC) Who decides which conflicts are important and which are not? There is no way a rebellion that spread over the territory roughly the size of Western Europe is less important than events in Bulgaria. --Ghirla 08:25, 9 September 2014 (UTC) CPSU Central Committee members This might seem like a strange question, since its something I should probably do myself, but since I can't speak or understand Russian its a bit difficult. Even so, do you know anyone who would be interested in creating articles on the 28th different Central Committee (a list of their members, similar to 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China). I have a list, found it by using Google Translate, but as you may understand, the translation services falters from time to time very seriously, which makes it all but impossible in certain cases to know who is actually who. I'm not saying you should do this, but do you know anyone on Misplaced Pages interested in making such a list? That we don't have a list on this topic says a lot about WPs covering of Soviet, and Russian history. --TIAYN (talk) 07:45, 24 October 2014 (UTC) I can make some of the list but would you please create some appropriate redlinks first? I generally do not like creating orphans.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:55, 24 October 2014 (UTC) DYK for Stripped Classisim? Stripped Classicism is a brand new article.

However, one building caught my attention which does not. Maybe because I've had to research the internet to even find out what it is/was. It seems to be a a lesser known Yusupoff Palace on the Nevsky Prospect. Google "Number 86, The 'Actors House' & a former home of Princess Tatiana Vassillievna Yusupova." It's a real neoclassical building with lots of bass relief, and I have photographed it from both angles and will upload tomorrow or later tonight. There seems to be little info available in English at least, but I'll start a page and see of it grows. Giano (talk) 18:52, 11 April 2015 (UTC) We have a dedicated Commons category for this building commons:Category:Nevskiy 86 but apparently no article.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:59, 11 April 2015 (UTC) Oh! I thought I had discovered a building that no one had noticed. Well my efforts now I have looked at them are all lopsided (that's the best) - is there anything much known about it? Perhaps on a Russian language website. Giano (talk) 20:46, 11 April 2015 (UTC) Please upload your photos by any means. It should be known smth about the building, I will try to se whether there are any sources easily available.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:13, 11 April 2015 (UTC) Giano, you chose the worst time of the year to visit the country! In March, the weather must be atrocious. This building caught my attention last year so I decided to upload a vintage photo (to the right) from this website which contains some info about the palace. It was built by Colonel Fyodor Petrovo-Solovovo in the early 1800s (ru:Петрово-Соловово, Григорий Фёдорович was his son). In 1835, Count Władysław Grzegorz Branicki commissioned Gasparo Fossati, a Swiss-born architect, to have it remodeled. --Ghirla 22:02, 11 April 2015 (UTC) We actually have Fossati brothers--Ymblanter (talk) 22:14, 11 April 2015 (UTC) Now we have a curious connection with Constantinople! By the way, a previous building on the site belonged to Prince Kurakin who had several other Neoclassical palaces in a similar vein. I happened to upload a picture of his Moscow residence last week (see another picture to the right). --Ghirla 22:24, 11 April 2015 (UTC) Actually Ghirla, the weather was very good if a little cold - mostly blue skies! I will start a page later today, it can be a stub and we will see what happens. Is it your opinion that it was not a Yousupoff Palace? I'll call the page Nevsky Prospect 86 - it can always be changed. Giano (talk) 09:45, 12 April 2015 (UTC) When the snow is gone, tons of garbage appear on Russian streets. Sightseeing is best after the week of April subbotniks :) As for the Petrovo-Solovovo House, this page contains more information. In the late 19th century, the building belonged to Princess Tatiana Yusupova, the wife of the last Prince Yusupov and the mother of Princess Zinaida Yusupova. --Ghirla 16:08, 16 April 2015 (UTC) I always like to see places before the tourists arrive. I even love Venice best in the winter. Two things struck me hugely about St Pete's - one as the cleanliness of the streets, and the other was the amount of people using the churches for religious purposes; I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it everything was far more impressive than I expected it to be. I expect that was not the real Russia, but it was the nearest I'm likely to get to it. I ate my breakfast every morning staring at the Petrovo-Solovovo House across the street, which is a pretty nice way to start the day, and what made me curious about it. I'll expand the page a little over the next few days. can you keep an eye on it - my Russian translation is decidedly dodgy at the best of times. Giano (talk) 20:24, 16 April 2015 (UTC) PS: Years ago, when I was a child, I was told a story about another Princess Zinaida Yusupova who died sometime in the 19th century aged 100. After the revolution, when the new owners were knocking her house about, they found a walled up skeleton of one of her lovers - have you ever heard this story, of have I misremembered and confused something else? Giano (talk) 20:28, 16 April 2015 (UTC) The building is listed as both Petrovo-Solovovo House and Zinaida Yusupova House. We can rename the article in one of these names (I do not hold a strong opinion on this).--Ymblanter (talk) 11:46, 17 April 2015 (UTC) Обсуждение в Рувики Уважаемый коллега, обращаю Ваше внимание на это обсуждение.

Josh Milburn (talk) 21:39, 19 May 2015 (UTC) Real Palace Please move again Royal Palace of Valencia to Real Palace. If you had read the article, you would have noticed that, in this case, real ≠ royal. The palace name arises from the fact that it was an almunia or real (from Arabic riyad, garden), not because it was a royal residence. That's why the name of the palace in Spanish is Palacio del Real and not Palacio Real, or in Valencian Palau del Real instead of Palau Reial.

Just so I will understand things correctly: Why do you think the "Gallery" heading at Furillen is inappropriate, but not the pictures? Articles describing places usually have a some pictures from the place and most of these pictures have a Gallery heading. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 12:01, 14 July 2015 (UTC) Sorry, the title is useless clutter. Please check WP:Gallery: "If a gallery would only lend itself to a title along the lines of "Gallery" or "Images of ", as opposed to a more descriptive title, the gallery should either be revamped or moved to the Commons." --Ghirla 16:35, 14 July 2015 (UTC) Thank you for explaining. w.carter-Talk 16:39, 14 July 2015 (UTC) Deletions in Kievan Rus' Article Hello, you recently deleted an image in the article Kievan Rus' without giving any reason: https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:Alex_K_Kievan_Rus..svg English: Coat of arms of the Kievan Rus 10th-11th c. Русский: Эмблема Киевской Руси 10-11 ст. Українська: Емблема Київської Русі 10-11 ст. As you can see in the link, the image that was added as well as its description were all referenced by simply clicking on the image itself. This image is the appropriate image for the article Kievan Rus', was fully referenced, and did not need to be deleted. In addition, you also made some changes which re-order Russia to appear before Ukraine in multiple places in the article. This would be strange to users, as Kiev is in Ukraine and not Russia. Although Muscovy subsequently renamed itself to Russia in the 18th century in order to adopt the history of Kievan Rus', and Ukraine later renamed itself from Ruthenia to Ukraine, Russia should not appear before Ukraine simply because the current name of Muscovy is similar to Rus', especially given the circumstances of the name change.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion. If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

I can't see anything other than a distinction between words of Russian and non Russian origin. Am I missing something? Thanks. Fenix down (talk) 07:07, 19 April 2016 (UTC) @Ezhiki: @Ymblanter: The situation is not described in WP:RUS because the placename Кий is an exception to the rule. Apart from Viy, I can't readily think of any other words consisting of the single syllable ending with "-ий". The "Ky" version is completely nonsensical, because it leaves the syllable without vowels. It is impossible to pronounce. --Ghirla 18:29, 19 April 2016 (UTC) I am sure it should be Kiy. May be we can make a footnote in WP:RUS, I can not right now think of other single-sillable name with "-ий" but tehnically it is possible. Compare Viy which nobody romanizes as Vy.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:34, 19 April 2016 (UTC) To my mind there is no difference in pronunciation between Kiy and Ky as the y in Ky is being pronounced as a vowel but I understand it might look a bit weird visually so happy for it to stay where it is if everyone agrees. As an aside, what do people make of Kyyy? Fenix down (talk) 19:11, 19 April 2016 (UTC) It's not so much about stressed/unstressed vowels, as it is about the usual practice of replacing "-iy" with "-y" in adjectives and certain first names ("Valery", "Makary"), but not in nouns or words of non-Russian origin. This is actually mentioned in WP:RUS—scroll all the way down to the bottom of the "Full rules" table, where endings are explained; the third column explains how the "-iy" ending should generally be dealt with. ("Kyyy" is awful but inevitable, since the word being romanized is a direct borrowing from Sakha and looks pretty weird in Russian, too). Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 20, 2016; 15:54 (UTC) Where does Kiy/Ky come from in this instance then? Fenix down (talk) 16:25, 20 April 2016 (UTC) There are multiple theories, but most likely the name is either of Finno-Ugric or Saami origins. At any rate, it's a noun now, and the "-iy" ending in nouns would not be reduced to "-y" when romanized.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 20, 2016; 16:39 (UTC) P.S. By the way, similar cases include Fiy in the Republic of Dagestan, Niy and Kiy in the Republic of Ingushetia, and my personal favorite Iy in the Tuva Republic. Of these, Fiy is the largest (with ~1,500 people).—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 20, 2016; 17:02 (UTC) Thanks for the info, very interesting. Fenix down (talk) 17:31, 20 April 2016 (UTC) BTW -iy is often stressed in Ukrainian surnames. e.g., Taisia Povaliy. --Ghirla 05:17, 21 April 2016 (UTC) File source problem with File:Mikhailoftver.jpg Thank you for uploading File:Mikhailoftver.jpg.

Если первое, то, вероятно, её было бы проще удалить, чем переписывать, а мне не следует заниматься самопереводом с таким уровнем владения языком.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please: Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable. Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject). If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date. Please carefully read this information: The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for edits and pages regarding discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here. Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions. Just a formality, as it seems you haven't been notified. –dlthewave ☎ 16:20, 21 July 2018 (UTC) Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan Thanks for your contributions today, even though you mention above a dislike for Repin.

First, не понимаю по-русский (the only Russian sentence I learned as a child.) I read that you have absented yourself from the English Misplaced Pages, but I'm hoping you might still answer a question. Typo team/moss found an unexpected word in the article A Sportsman's Sketches, a page that you have modified in the past. The section in question reads: Bailiff Story about the bailiff (Sofron) of a landowner friend of the narrator who is more in control of the land than Arkady Penochkin. He uses the peasants and steals their money from loans. This story was an angreement, though not explicit, of a letter written in response to Gogol's Slavophile tendencies. This story is one of the most vivid examples of the peasantry's exploitation. The word in blue is unclear. The most similar word would be "agreement", but I wondered about "arrangement", or even "adaptation". Can you help clarify this? Thanks. - Jkgree (talk) 22:17, 1 June 2020 (UTC) Hello, the misspelled word was added in 2006 by an anonymous editor. I have no idea what he had in mind. Ghirla 07:13, 2 June 2020 (UTC) OK, thanks.

I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license. If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion. If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license. If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion. If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

There is a user who has been cleaning up some articles apparently, and removing unsourced materials. I saw this type of removal on the article about GUM (department store). The information is interesting, so I am curious if you have a citation for it anyway (perhaps from a Russian language source?). Your insertion was here, all the way back in 2006 https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=GUM_%28department_store%29&diff=prev&oldid=53153064. Cheers! Top5a (talk) 07:45, 31 August 2023 (UTC) This is an LTA, all removals mortivated by OR must be rolled back. They changes the IP addresses daily which makes the tracking more difficult. Ymblanter (talk) 21:26, 31 August 2023 (UTC) Thank you very much. I am an inexperienced editor, yet I see so much abuse in this manner (you can probably tell how much it irritates me if you see my user page). By the way, I enjoyed your page, thank you so much for all your contributions to the original vision of Misplaced Pages. Cheers! Top5a (talk) 23:16, 31 August 2023 (UTC) The more recent edits at least same to be in the same range: 2603:7000:2101:AA00:0:0:0:0/64. I have noticed these for a while so I am not sure if the older edits will still be in that range. Mellk (talk) 23:31, 31 August 2023 (UTC) Thanks, I have blocked the range, initially for two weeks. Ymblanter (talk) 11:14, 1 September 2023 (UTC) Just so you know, that range immediately went back to the same activity as soon as the block expired. @Ymblanter Cheers. Top5a (talk) 23:29, 17 September 2023 (UTC) Not yet, but if you see again the removal of unsourced but plausible material pls let me know, I will block the range long-term. Ymblanter (talk) 05:41, 18 September 2023 (UTC) Hello, again! Just wanted to let you know that there were some recent edits made to the lede of the GUM page, as well as a renaming of the page, and I do not have the ability or knowledge to verify those changes. cc: @Mellk Top5a (talk) 19:49, 16 November 2023 (UTC) ArbCom 2023 Elections voter message Hello!
