La version française d'Encélade est elle-même très fortement inspirée de ce qui existait à l'époque sur l'article en anglais. En fait c'est Volcanopele qui a fait la plus grosse partie du boulot ;) Mais bon, merci quand même ;) À+, Stanlekub 16:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC).

How can you not like soccer? It's really fun :-0 :). Raichu 01:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations on Enceladus

Good to see that the English Misplaced Pages has yet another featured article corresponding to a francophone counterpart. And quite closely, too. I can't wait to see it on the Main Page (I see it's already been nominated). Daniel Case 02:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Second Battle of Kharkov

{{fact}} added, as requested. ;-) Kirill Lokshin 16:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Your call. I can't think of anything else that needs fixing; but I generally prefer to leave a peer review open for two or three weeks anyway, just in case anyone else wanders by with suggestions. Kirill Lokshin 20:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Binary star

Hi,

Thanks for commenting on the FA nomination of Binary star. I have tried to take care of your objections.

Regards, Nick Mks 18:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Many thanks for the barnstar! :) --Scot 08:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you - U.S. FAC

Hi,

Kharkov

Sorry I didn't get you a message in time. A lot has been done recently! First, I'd like to thank you for the amount of work you've put into it. I have to re-read it and see what changes have been made thus far. I will further reference some of the parts I wrote, especially the battle, to give David M. Glantz what he deserves. Please, anything that you think general rewording, tell me - I will do my best. I hope we stay in communication until this article is either featured, or not. JonCatalan 16:34, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

1. Glantz'sources are majority Soviet because he uses recently opened Soviet/Russian archives and then compares them with German archives to analyse their accuracy. I'll reread the article throughout the week and then think of ways of including a more German perspective. Unfortunately, German memoirs, like Manstein's Lost Victories, that I own are not very focused on this battle and the winter battles and Stalingrad seem to take priority over things like this. I will continue to look at sources, and I should be receiving a book on armoured warfare during the Second World War soon enough through the mail, and so I'll look through that for additional material. And, I'll scan in more images, although I'm not sure if that could create problems - I'll look around in other books, as well. JonCatalan 21:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Oleg

I would welcome your comments on this page. --Ghirla 08:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Causion against removing the POV tags.

Please note that removing the POV-tags does not help to resolve disputes. The tag should indicate the disagrement until the dispute is resolved as described in WP:DR.--AndriyK 10:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks!

Siberian Flying Squirrel image

Hi, I notice you added Assapan-drawing.jpg to the Siberian Flying Squirrel article. Unfortunately, the species depicted in the image is the Southern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys volans), not the Siberian Flying Squirrel (Pteromys volans). While the scientific names may be confusingly similar, these species belong to different genera from different continents. Thus, I don't feel the picture is an appropriate illustration for that article.

If you do find a free picture of a Siberian Flying Squirrel, please do add it to the article. I've been trying to find one myself, but with no luck so far. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 14:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

My answer

I've written an answer to your statement at User_talk:PatrickFisher#AndriyK.2C_L-word_and_so_on....--AndriyK 18:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

A question

May I know who my political masters are ? :) --Molobo 00:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Molobo

Since you have taken an interest in the "Molobo's affair" let me elaborate a little on my stance in this. I am afraid that Molobo is just one of several problematic users that we will have to deal with in time. Blocking him, if not followed by action against some other users, will not do much good. But it is up to community to decide if and when those other users cross their tresholds. Regarding Molobo block, one note: I don't deny that he was disruptive at times and that he broke 3RR many times and in the end, acted in a way that had to lead to a block. What I was and I still am unhappy is 1) that such a block was done without taking the matter to ArbCom and by admins who were at some point engaged in content dispute with Molobo and 2) that other users he engaged with in revert wars and such have been treated much less harshly. That said, I don't intend to comment on this matter further, I don't think it would do any good. Majority of interested people seem to support this block, and in the end in project like Wiki the good of the community must be put above the good of any single individual.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 19:27, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Your statement at Mediation Cabal

Hi! It's a pity you started this reasonable attempt to resolve the dispute with misinformation. I never wrote anything as "vile Muscovites that came to enslave Ukrainians" or similar. I suggest you rephrasing your statement. This would insure a more constructive start of the discussion.

I've never proposed to use the wording "Stalinist occupation" in the article. This phrase can be removed from your statement without loss of usefull information.

Also I did not insert the tags "everywhere", but only on top of the disputed article. It would be very kind of you, if you correct your statement.--AndriyK 16:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Single-celled Organisms

Hi, seems like we had a similar idea on were this should point, but it worked out differently . Being a biochemist, I would prefer Single-celled Organisms, Unicellular and Single celled organisms all to point to Microorganism, since all single celled organisms are per definition microorganisms. Would you agree with a change? Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 22:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, its done. Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 22:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing that out. :) And whoops on the protection. I had protected it on June 21st because of a vandal but had forgotten to unprotect it. It's unprotected now. --Woohookitty 22:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Congratulations

Hey, that's neat! Thanks! (Although it seems to be positioned a bit higher than it should be. I'll see if I can figure out how to control the thing.) Kirill Lokshin 14:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, that explains it; the FA stars have all been pulled up too.

(I do wonder about the wisdom of encouraging the use of that image as a badge of membership, since it is simultaneously being used as an award; it might create something of a mess in the long run. I might just be being overly pedantic, though.) Kirill Lokshin 15:27, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Good idea. That should work nicely, I think. Kirill Lokshin 15:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Battle of the Dneiper

Can you let me know wahat the dispute is about? Arthur Ellis 22:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok I have added my opening comments on the project page. lets get to work. TruthCrusader 11:31, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Collaboration candidates

Did you mean to support the ones you nominated? You didn't list your name under the "Support" line (which is throwing off the counts from where one would expect them to be); I was wondering if that was intentional on your part? Kirill Lokshin 15:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, that explains it ;-) Kirill Lokshin 15:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Summary by Alex Bakharev at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Irpen

Your have endorsed the summary by Alex Bakharev at Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Irpen which misinforms the community. Alex Bakharev wrote about Russian architecture: "There is no discussion on the talk page, no suggestions on improving the article". In fact there was (and still is) a discussion on the talk page and solution has been proposed. (Please see Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/Irpen#Comment_to_the_summary_by_Alex_Bakharev_and_others). I suggest you to withdraw your signature under the summary.--AndriyK 08:47, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

{{WPMILHIST}}

Nice work on getting AWB running with that, but the tags should be removed entirely, not replaced; {{WPMILHIST}} doesn't work properly when placed on non-talk pages.  ;-) Kirill Lokshin 21:31, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Nice! ;-) Kirill Lokshin 21:37, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Project notice banners

Excellent! Assuming nobody drops by with angry denunciations, we can get the whole lot deleted; I don't think there's any use in keeping them around. Thanks for all of your help!

(In retrospect, having access to AWB would have made a lot of things we've done much easier.) Kirill Lokshin 23:45, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Question about AWB, then: is it possible to feed it a list of articles (or a category? I recall hearing it does category-to-list conversion somehow) and have it (a) check for a particular template on the talk page of each article and (b) add it if it's not present? (I'm wondering if it would be possible to somehow apply it to the problem of adding {{WPMILHIST}} tags to all the vast expanses of articles under Category:Military people, Category:Military organization, and Category:Military equipment that haven't been tagged yet.) Kirill Lokshin 23:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, even if it can't do true recursion, it might be sufficient to be able to read in a list of categories for processing. Then, we can use something like this to do the recursion up-front and feed the resulting list to AWB. (I think the en: corruption issue has been mostly fixed, but it'll probably be necessary to run through the generated list from that tool just as a sanity check to make sure something utterly bizarre didn't get included.)
