User:Russavia/Top

Can you help?!?

I am in constant need of photos for various articles I am working on, and I am in dire need of the following photos from around the globe. So I turn to the community in the hope that someone out there is able to take the photos that I require.

If you can help with photos of any of these subjects, please upload them to Commons, and then post a short message with a link to the photos on my English Misplaced Pages talk page.

In the event you don't have a Commons log-in, you can email them to me at russavia.wikipedia@gmail.com and advise which licence you would like to licence them under, and I can do the uploading, categorisation, etc.

I have provided as much detail on what I require, including addresses, links to online maps, and photos of the subject that I am unable to upload to Commons, in order for photographers to identify the subject I require.

More info at User:Russavia/Required photos

Notes

File:Passenger2.jpg

Hi, I did delete it, but only because I found the original - F9 CSD has to have the url of the original - the template will say Please edit this template to include details of where the file has been copied from, using {{db-f9|url=http://somesite.com}}, or include a rationale below this tag if it was copied from a source other than website. The file will not be deleted if no indication is made as to why it is a copyright violation as default, if you do not supply the source. However there was also a notice on the page which said This file is now available on Wikimedia Commons as File:Cairo Aviation Tupolev Tu-204-120 pax.jpg. - so a look on commons showed that was already deleted and the original location - which is actually http://www.airliners.net/photo/Cairo-Aviation/Tupolev-Tu-204-120/1017164/L/  Ronhjones  19:51, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Need Clarification

Hi Russavia.. I noticed you making some changes to Asin Thottumkal 2011.jpg pic.. Can u explain me why and what was that.. What am i supposed to do?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vijay536 (talk • contribs) 13:00, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Vijay, you don't need to do anything, I have xferred the image to Commons, so that all projects can use the photo. It is now located at commons:File:Asin_Thottumkal_2011.jpg. Tx --Russavia 13:02, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh thank u.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vijay536 (talk • contribs) 13:09, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Alpha Delta Crest Speedy Deletion

I believe this image to be non-free content that has significant rationale for being on the page.

Also, what are the chances that this article would be deleted? I would not want to see it deleted and would like to know what I could do to preserve it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Straight.edge3kk (talk • contribs) 16:06, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk back

Hello, Russavia. You have new messages at Aleksa Lukic's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Alex 21:16, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I replied you some time ago...

Question: This website does not contain © Copyrights (All rights reserved), and therefore I would ask you: May I use this picture for illustrating my recent article under free license? Alex 22:21, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

My opinion

Even Libyan thematic is currently more actual, the Congolese entity left also the great consequences in history of its state. I supports equality in this case. Alex 14:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Alex, you don't have to convince me on anything here, it is the rest of the community who are editing that you have to convince. You may want to follow the instructions at WP:RM. However, as it stands now, I honestly don't think you will be successful in the move request, as if you look at Google for "National Transitional Council" the majority of web results, news results, book results and scholar results will indeed be referring to the Libyan entity. You may also want to peruse WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for more info as well. --Russavia 17:49, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

WP:AE#Vecrumba

I would still listen to any ideas you may have that allow you and the EEML people to avoid running into each other and produce less drama overall. From the discussion at AE and at User talk:T. Canens, I sense you are indignant that anyone could see you as being at fault. (Well in this particular case the other guy made a personal attack, so forget that for a moment; I'm referring to you and Tammsalu getting along in the future). I'm not sure the overall problem is anyone's fault long term, but any small flash of creative suggestion would not be amiss. EdJohnston (talk) 02:37, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Ed, I will formulate a response to you and I will attempt to address some of the things you have brought up. I won't be dealing with the issue of personal attacks, as they are plain to deal with. Hopefully there is some way to look forward so that editors are able to edit on content (which is why we are here after all), without restricting editors too much. I will be posting on my talk page if that is ok with you. Will likely be in a couple hours, or perhaps tomorrow. Cheers, --Russavia 03:07, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

My thoughts

Things to consider from the outset

Ed, before one can discuss things like this, we have to acknowledge why it is we as editors are even present on the project. As I state on User:Russavia, and which I will repeat here:

My presence on English Misplaced Pages is for one purpose and one purpose only. To participate in a collegial environment, with the community goal of building a free Encyclopaedia.

My interests, and where much of my editing is focused, is on the following topics:

In terms of Russia's foreign relations and its place in the world, one can't consider the foreign relations of Russia, without considering Estonia-Russia relations, which then has to consider many factors such as Occupation of the Baltic States, Russians in Estonia, human rights in Estonia, and down the chain it goes. Or let's look at Russophobia, which is a major part of how Russia is seen in the world. One can't consider modern Russophobia without considering Poland-Russia relations, or the Great Game, or the Testament of Peter the Great. It is impossible to only edit on the current, when the history also has to be taken into account.

But if you were to look at my contributions, you will see that in addition to editing almost anything to do with Russia, I also do a lot of the following:

  • Fixing bits and pieces of articles from front page, or at Portal:Current events
  • Categorisation
  • Work with images - moving to Commons, tags copyvios, etc - in addition to placing images I upload on Commons in relevant articles - not including {{CWC}} images, I have uploaded some 2,000 images to Commons since the beginning of the year - they have to go somewhere.

So my editing is all over the place, and doesn't really follow any set pattern.

You can also see a big list of articles, in various stages of development, that I am working on (some of them it seems I've been doing so forever) at User:Russavia#Currently_working_on.

Current problem and possible solutions

Ed, in relation to this on your talk page, I have scrubbed almost all of what I was going to write, as it was going to be the end result of what I was going to suggest. I will say that "dividing up Estonia" would not be a solution that I would go for, because as far as both myself and Tammsalu are concerned, to do so would be detrimental to both myself and him, due us both being in good standing, with the only restriction being the interaction ban. Detrimental as it would prevent article development and improvement on articles clearly within our editing interests, which could be off limits if Estonia was carved up.

So long as interactions were concentrated on content, and comments by either editor were only on content, with commenting on editors themselves (in any way shape or form) still being prohibited, I would have no problem, as stated several times, to the lifting of the interaction ban albeit with "a content only" specification. Additionally, it may be worthwhile in having a WP:1RR limit placed.

Also, I would support the lifting of the interaction restriction in relation to myself and EEML, with the exception of User:Vecrumba and User:Volunteer Marek, whom I would not feel comfortable in having those bans lifted due to obvious events.

Comments welcome. --Russavia 08:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

This sounds like a good solution. Forcing the editors to focus on editing and talking about content only would prevent them from fighting each other and still allow Misplaced Pages reap the full benefits of their useful work on the project. Edit warring has also often been a problem, so a 1RR restriction would be a good idea as well, with the additional note, that any tag-teaming to circumvent 1RR would be looked upon harshly.

Maybe you should look at the edit history of this article, before doing the drive-by tagging on my talkpage. User:E-Kartoffel is who you need to speak to and he's over there -----------> Lugnuts (talk) 13:41, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

RCC

You have new messages at Russian Center of Science and Culture's talk page.

It is commonly named Russian Cultural Center (see category:Russian Cultural Centers). There is no source that provides official translation. But, center of same kind is in Washington, and it's called just RCC. Alex 12:31, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

WP:AE#Vecrumba needs a closure

I've put off proposing how to close this AE request in the hope that you and I would reach agreement. If you no longer wish to pursue lifting one of the interaction bans, then I'll go back to Plan B, which most likely would be a topic ban from certain Baltic issues. A ban would apply to you, Tammsalu or both to reduce the possibility that the two of you will be editing the same articles. If you still want to pursue lifting the interaction ban, then I need your response to the proposed wording at User talk:EdJohnston#Draft amendment. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 13:56, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Yelena Viktorovna Panova

I was going by the fact that more sources seem to spell her name Elena in English and imdb also spells it like that. Can you translate the filmography from Russian wiki, it also has her stage performances.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:53, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

A request to lift your interaction ban with Tammsalu has been filed

Please see Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment#Request to amend prior case: Russavia-Biophys. You are invited to add your own statement there. Since we have discussed this previously, my assumption is that you would favor lifting the ban. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:48, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
