Anthony Sawoniuk article

Why is this article within the scope of project Belarus? Sawoniuk wasn't Belarussian and as far as I can tell he never even visited the country!Varsovian (talk) 20:21, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced living people articles bot

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Belarus/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you.

Update: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Belarus/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.

There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 01:29, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Most common way of romanizing belarusian?

Which is the most common you guys use for transliterating? Scholarly, National 2000, or BGN? --Львівське (talk) 19:15, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.

Your Project's list can be found at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Belarus/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you have approximately 23 articles to be referenced. The list of all other WikiProject UBLPs can be found at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.

Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 16:51, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Boris Pavlovich Demidovich

I just created a -discrete I suppose ;)- article about the great Belarusian mathematician. Friends, could you give me an hand to improve it translating sources, creating a bibliography, and whatever you can. This is the first article about Boris Demidovich, no other article about him are present on any other wikipedia, so why don't work it out? - Theirrulez (talk) 17:02, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Belarus: TFA for 27 July 2010

Just a friendly notice to let you know what is up. I would also be a good opportunity to create a book for Belarus, such as Book:Canada. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 14:13, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

A book? Hmm...I'll pass. User:Zscout370 16:47, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Belarus articles have been selected for the Misplaced Pages 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Misplaced Pages articles selected by the Misplaced Pages 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Belarus articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Misplaced Pages talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Misplaced Pages talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Misplaced Pages for Schools to extend the reach of Misplaced Pages worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Masherov article contains unsourced speculation

Where is the source that the KGB may have caused his death? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwgoldb (talk • contribs) 14:34, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject cleanup listing

I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 20:28, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm danish, writing on danish wikipedia and are participating in the Danish variant of WikiProject Lithuania, and wants to translate the artickle about Kalduny. But .... I am sorry to say, this artickle is of so low quality that I will have to rewrite it totally! Pls. look at my critic on the talkpage! PerV (talk) 12:32, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Harry Lewinsky Belarus former boxer - can you help?

The article on former Belarus boxer Harry Lewinsky has been tagged as an unreferenced biography of a living person since March 2009, which is the current focus month of the Unreferenced BLP Rescue project. I have tried, and failed, to find any reliable sources to support the text in this article. Nothing on Google, apart from wiki mirrors and a few Red Hot Chili Peppers fan forum posts (which are not reliable sources). I'm posting here in the hope that someone might like to take an interest and provide at least one reliable source (which is all that is needed to take it out of the "unreferenced BLP" category). Searching in Russian might generate something, perhaps. If it remains unreferenced much longer, it will probably be proposed for deletion.--Plad2 (talk) 08:06, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Article now proposed for deletion by another editor, so the clock is ticking.--Plad2 (talk) 23:35, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

May you write Pan (title) article ? (Idot (talk) 04:45, 6 March 2011 (UTC))

Current economic crisis

Are there any WP articles dealing specifically with the current economic crisis in Belarus, particularly the recent currency devaluation? Nsk92 (talk) 22:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Augustów Canal/GA1

A GAN has started on Augustów Canal, and was put on an initial hold to allow prose issues to be addressed before sources and coverage were looked at. The nominator has not accessed Misplaced Pages since the review started, and has not responded to an email. Would anyone from this project be prepared to work on the article to bring it up to GA status? SilkTork 10:16, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Belarus will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in Belarus's history, society and culture. We've created an event page on English Misplaced Pages (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 21:52, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Removed tag

I removed your WikiProject tag from Bais Rivka, which was tagged in 2007 by the blocked User:BetacommandBot as I see it without justification. Debresser (talk) 14:05, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Folklore??

Greetings - I just created an umbrella category for Slavic folklore‎ and was quite surprised to discover that there is no category for Belarusian folklore. I presume this is just an oversight, so I'm hoping that one of you folks will make a point of creating & populating that category in the near future. And of course, be sure to include Category:Slavic folklore as one of the parents! Regards, Cgingold (talk) 00:35, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

PS - Please be kind enough to leave a note on my talk page if you reply here or create the category. Thanks! Cgingold (talk) 00:37, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Potential Volost relation to antien slavic Volchs (magicians, caldei, priests) etc., etc

Potential Volost relation to antien slavic Volchs (magicians, caldei, priests). From that relation to proto slavic god Volos-Veles (god of merchant, humidity, etc. antipole or better counterbalance of the highest gid Svarog). From that relation to Vloch-Loch-Lach-Vlach-Walach and Walachia with its relation to Romania foundation. Other potential relation are Volos-Veles-Velas-Pelas thus antien Macedonian Pella and its citizens Pelas-gians. The same for Veles-Filis- with relation to antien Filistines nation meant also in Holy Bible. Western relation to Wales is also possible. For further referrence please write to janvalachian@yahoo.com. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.197.226.118 (talk) 17:43, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Help needed

Does anyone have time to help in taking WP:Naming conventions (Cyrillic) from current draft to RfC for adoption as a guideline? In ictu oculi (talk) 06:35, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

BLP and POV problems

I just saw Vladlena Funk and tagged it for deletion due to a lack of notability and severe WP:OR/WP:NPOV/WP:BLP problems. The article is almost exclusively sourced to documents hosted by russianlaw.org, an obscure law firm and/or advocacy organization with ties to Funk. According to ImmortalPanda who told me of this article, it's not the only one of this "quality" and relying on russianlaw.org, though he couldn't immediately recall others. The article hasn't been edited significantly since 2010; it may be worth the effort to look for similar articles in the old editors' contributions. Huon (talk) 04:11, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
