Bagram Ibatoulline
Welcome to Wikipedia! I see that you've put in links for Ibatoulline on several articles. I usually do this after I've written a new article. Otherwise the linking should wait for the article! Regards, Easchiff (talk) 23:30, 22 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your note!
 * There is the conflict of interest and I can't write a new article for Ibatoulline.
 * I've put this red links in hope somebody will write for Ibatouline.
 * All the best Alabirsa (talk) 07:53, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Your tactic worked, and I've written a stub article for him. I knew Ibatoulline's work from Crossing - I've given away several copies of this book, and I was slightly acquainted with the poet. Easchiff (talk) 14:23, 6 November 2022 (UTC)


 * If you have taken a good photograph of Ibatoulline, you can consider uploading it to commons.wikimedia.org . This does not violate any conflict of interest policies, and indeed is often the only way to obtain a freely licensed photograph.Easchiff (talk) 01:08, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for writing a stub!
 * I really appreciate your advises and wonder how that stub
 * could be expanded? Alabirsa (talk) 13:17, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I've changed the article rating to "start" - it isn't a stub any more. I think the article is a good length now - it's clear that Ibatoulline is now one of the handful of illustrators admired for books for younger readers. A freely licensed photograph of him would be great if you have access to one. Easchiff (talk) 21:21, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your cooperation.
 * I'm trying to obtain his photograph.
 * Do you think I can edit
 * this article? Alabirsa (talk) 07:58, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I advise against making your first Wikipedia contributions to this article if there's any significant relationship with the Ibatoulline. There are special rules about articles on living people. If there is material you think should be added, you could write it up on your own sandbox page and let another editor decide whether to insert it into Ibatoulline's article.
