Trigger Happy
Dear Administrator: I, like you, am an editor; I create articles and make edits. But, many, I am sure many other people out there, are tired, frustrated and angry with the behavior of many Administrators. I am certain that it is appallingly easy to revert and article, that someone has undoubtedly spent allot of time and effort writing. I have, in the past spent hours, researching, planning, writing, checking and revising an addition to an article only to have the whole lot deleted forever three minutes afterwards.

I know that deletion of material is essential in a free-to-edit encyclopedia, but if you see an article that someone has anonymously devoted their time to writing, why could you not revise it, change it or give a reason for you action? They deserve one.

I know all Administrators are not all Drunk-With- Power-Trigger-Happy-Nazis, many of you do an excellent job and you know who you are. The world owes you. I owe You.

In closing: Create, don’t Destroy. Make a distinction between “what is right, and what is easy”. Be enriched and enrich others with the knowledge of other people.

And keep that finger off the trigger.

Genocide
While historians continue to disagree whether the policies that led to Holodomor fall under the legal definition of Genocide, numerous governments have officially recognized the Holodomor as such. Also see the comment on discussion page: because the notion of the Holodomor, or Ukrainian Genocide, has long left the exclusive domain of historical journals and moved long time ago into the "mainstream" public domain, i.e. politics, media, history textbooks, Internet These are good arguments. Since Holodomor has been reckognised by several government as genocide and it certainly is debated as genocide by many it deserves this category. --Molobo 10:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

User Roitr again
Hi! Can you please help with the new battle against Roitr? The latest details you can find here: Long_term_abuse/Roitr, there are several images to be deleted and several sockpuppet accounts to be blocked.--Nixer 19:02, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia 1.0
Hi Alex, and welcome to the Version 1.0 Editorial Team! I wanted to find out what projects you might be interested in working in. We currently need help at Core Topics, and we will very soon need help contacting WikiProjects and reviewing nominations for the test CD release. We are currently re-assessing the main core topics table, and as we do this we add the core topic template containing the assessment to the talk page, as in (see Talk:Animal for an example).  In a week or two we will start a mass contact of all the WikiProjects and encourage them to use the new automated assessment handling.  We will also open up V0.5 at around the same time.  Is there something there that would interest you?  Thanks, Walkerma 06:08, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Your Edit War
You have begun Edit War in article, which was reached ong and arduous negotiations between Wikipedians on talk page. This amazing for such experienced editor as you. Please see WP:BB:  An incautious edit to such an article can be likened to stirring up a hornet's nest, and other users who are involved in the page may react angrily. --Yakudza 08:49, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the article and the category appeared on my watchlist due to the renaming. I like peace, but I think that the category here is wrong and should be removed. I do not remember to agree on that category. Please note, that I do not remove Category:Soviet repressions and intend to protect it, if anybody would attack it, since I believe the category is right. abakharev 08:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I have having continued on Talk:Holodomor, but previous big war around this article was connected with attempt Irpen to delete the mentioning about genocide with the first line. I never thought that this will begin You. --Yakudza 09:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It appeares User:Kleinzach decided to populate Category:Russian pop singers and mixed up (misread Romanian pop singers as Russian pop singers. Nothing sinister here. BTW I think both Andrei_Mironov and Alla_Bayanova could be categorized as Russian pop singers. Any objections? abakharev 23:12, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Artsakh
Hi Alex. I don’t think unprotection was a good idea right now. The page is being regularly vandalized by famous vandal Rovoam, who was permanently banned from editing Wikpedia. Last time he attacked the page just two days ago. The article was semiprotected, which allowed the established users edit it, so in my opinion semiprotection should be kept for the time being. Regards, Grandmaster 04:22, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The article was semiprotected for more than a month. Lets see what will happen. In the event of the IP-vandalism please let me know immediately and I will semiprotect it again. The unprotection was requested by Khoikhoi, lets see if his judgement was right. abakharev 04:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks Alex. Grandmaster 04:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Also, Alex, would you mind to remove nationalistic insults Rovoam left on the talk page of that article? I don’t want to do that myself, but as far as I know such rhetoric should immediately be cleaned up. Grandmaster 04:45, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Grandmaster 06:18, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

On the article Research into health benefits of Falun Gong
Friend, I would like to point out that there is absolutely no original research in the article. The material is copied in blockquotes from research papers. Kindly go through the page.

It is a daughter page of the current wikipedia article on Falun Gong and contains material moved from the page on Falun Gong.

The sources include: http://www.falunau.org/healthsurvey.htm http://www.asianresearch.org/articles/2397.html

Considering the fact that there is absolutely no original research in the article, it is requested that I may please be given permission to remove the "to be deleted" tag. Thankyou.

Dilip rajeev 13:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

No friend, the article was a product of a long series of discussions and happens to be a daughter article. The information turns out to be very relevant to the edit process in the Falun Gong article which is currently being splitted into daughter articles. Thankyou. Dilip rajeev 13:55, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

CorbinSimpson's Request for Adminship
Thanks for voting in my request for administrator rights, even though it failed (13/30/4). Sadly, work has forced me to respond to you all using a substituted message rather than a personalized response. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that administrators, to me, should be chosen and approved by the community, and I will continue working to become a better editor and Wikipedian. No matter what the alignment of your vote was, I will take your comments seriously and use them to improve myself. If you wish to discuss your comments personally with me, I would be more than glad to talk about things since the RfA is now over; just leave your concern on my talk page and we will sort things out. Thanks again for voting, and happy editing! -  Corbin  Be excellent

Dear &mdash; Thank you for your support on my recent RfA. It succeeded with a final tally of 46/2/3 so now I am an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the new tools, but please let me know if there's any anything I can help you with in the future. And please correct me, if you spot I make a mistake. Thank you again. --Ton e  00:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC))

On the avos article
Hey Alex, would you please be a bit more specific on what exactly I should do to make my article (the one that deals with avos') meet wikipedia standards. Thank you in advance.

Thank you, Alex, for your help! I'll try and follow the pattern you have suggested. Your help is very welcome too. :-)

Anon question
Hi, Alex. I doubt you'll be able to add anything, but could you take a look and see if you could help an anonymous editor here? I was just making a guess about Australia's record-keeping practices; I might have been wrong. Thanks!&mdash;Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 02:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Maladechna
I kindly ask you to stop your revert war at Maladechna. Apparently there are two conflicting POVs there and I really don't see why the unsourced POV should replace the sourced one. Such revert warring without even a slightest mention at the talk page is disruptive and does not help Wikipedia. Thanks in advance. // Halibutt 08:00, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Words like taken/captured are obviously less POV than liberated/occupied. If it is a WP:POINT related to an edit conflict over another article, please discuss your grievances there. You may also want to re-read the WP:TROLL policy. abakharev 08:09, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Suvorov-Manykov
Hello Alex, I still think the wording is unencyclopedic and it's better not to mention it at all if it is unsourced. Basically if it isn't verified 100% percent leave it out. Yeah Manuk is an Armenian name but that doesn't mean anyone with the name is Armenian? Мать Суворова — Авдотья (Евдокия) Федосеевна Суворова, в девичестве Манукова, происходила из обрусевшего армянского рода. Sources: ,, --Eupator 15:28, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Log in to banned IP
Hi, can I ask a simple quesion? If I log in to a banned IP address, will it affect my log in? Can I still edit like that? martianlostinspace 22:27, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Not in relation to anything in particular, nor am I having any problems. Merely wondering. martianlostinspace 10:18, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

New rage of Roitr
Hi! Can you please help with Roitr again? Please block sockpuppets User:Nixer. and User:Tutmosis. created by Roitr to impersonate me and user User:Tutmosis. There are some other sockpuppets of Roitr not blocked yet. Newest information you can find here: User:Roitr/sockpuppetry. Maybe we should semi-protect some most vandalized articles.--Nixer 10:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Impersonators and socks are blocked permanently, some IPs for a month (do not know how effective it is as I can not block the entire Beseq range). Semiprotection of all the articles he attacks is to much, but I could semiprotect a few articles of your choice abakharev 11:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
, thank you for participating in my RfA. Unfortunately, a great number of oppose voters felt that I lacked experience, and a consensus was not reached (the final tally was 30/28/10). Perhaps I will try again in another few months when I have a few more edits under my belt. If I do, I hope I can count on your support. Thanks again!

Cool3 talk 20:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Another request
Hey Alex,

Could you semi-protect the Kurdistan Workers Party page for me? This user was just blocked for a wekk for continuing to add an image, but now the page is being attacked by sockpuppets. Thanks. &mdash; Khoikhoi 15:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Povorino
I just spotted eo:Povorino and ru:Поворино, and it looks to me like this town (1870/1954) is in Voronezh Oblast rather than in Volgograd Oblast. Right? --Nikai 11:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Could you please fix this? Thanks, --Irpen 16:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Deng
I've reconsidered. I'm too much of a lover of this site to leave. I removed my comments from AN because it was the kind of incivility I've been fighting since I got here. I had no right to dump anything on you. The Deng saga has just frustrated me. I'm going to leave you to it because I think I've spent all of the energy I'm willing to spend on him. I just want to say that you should read every post he's made if need be. As I've said, Kurt is not a saint. And as you can see, I've blocked him twice now myself. But Deng's behavior isn't alot better. We gotta find a way to get these 2 to actually communicate with each other. If you read their talk page comments, they've never really tried to work this out...neither of them. It's all been attack attack attack. Who knows. Maybe he will listen to others. I don't know. He's made some good contribs, but you know, so has Kurt. I think Kurt needs mentorship as much as Deng does, if not more. Anyway, I don't want to directly give evidence, but if you need guidance in terms of Deng's behavior, I can do that. And please please please put his talk page on your WL. When he gets blocked, Deng has a tendency to be incivil. I think that any mentorship is doomed to failure with him. But you know, if you can get him to listen (and that's the main problem I've had with him), I think he's coachable. And as I said, for any arbcom case you want to develop against Deng, go back to the very beginning, which was December. His main focus for quite awhile was Eastern Front (World War II). The saga with Kurt started in late March. Good luck. And again, I apologize. --Woohookitty(meow) 04:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh and I forgot to mention that the other issue I and others have had with Deng is that he seems to think that if a fact is sourced, that there is some requirement that it be used. It's a common misperception and I've never been able to get him to realize that. --Woohookitty(meow) 05:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. Never before shorten sombody'd blocks only prolonged them abakharev 10:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I am happy, you have reconsidered. OK, I will try to control Deng, hope Irpen and Tyres will help us too. Maybe we can swap, you try to mentor User:AlexPU and I will try my chances with Deng. Both will return in a month. abakharev 05:15, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Nah. :-D I've been slowly dialing down my dispute resolution stuff the last few months. Deng was the last one really. It's just too taxing after awhile. I used to be heavy into NPOV disputes and such, but it's too stressful. I once had 3 RfAr cases going at once. Blech. :) Never again. --Woohookitty(meow) 05:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Btw, I just had to undo and reinstate your block. It's that darn thing where one block doesn't overrule previous blocks. Really dislike that bug. Anyway. He had your month long and NSLE's indefinite in effect. I undid them both and made the block one month minus 9 hours. :) --Woohookitty(meow) 10:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edit looks trollish
Mr. Bakharev, I promised never to bother you, except of cases when we're in editing conflict. This is just the case. This your change, namely about young researcher, was unsourced and unexcusable. The danger from the Kiev Sea silt was of common knowledge even before you learned how to use Internet and Wikipedia. You surely are an intellectual, living not so far from Ukraine. So you just couldn't be completely unaware of above-mentioned threat. Even your friend (or your minder?) Irpen appreciated the article as DYK-worthy. In the other hand,no place of the article says that the "young researcher" is the only source of the info, or of the whole info. Given this, I'm stating that you added evident deliberate lie.

The described manner of editing is not uncommon for the Russian Group which you participate in. But the most unworthy part of your action was the fact that the article is written by AlexPU. Soon after contributing it, he made a ridiculously demonstrative, but резонансную effort to edit Russia. Later he was also blocked for hooliganistic uncivility, - the fact which your friends are going to popularize for years. In this way, he is unable to protect his vision of the reservoirs problem. I'm trying to say that you were trollishly revenging AlexPU when editing his article. You, the admin.

What makes me think so? The following coinciding facts:
 * the above mentioned evidence of your deliberate damage to the article
 * your possible hostile attitude towards Alex PU as anti-Russian hooligan
 * the fact that his article was suggested for DYK, and your changes discredit this suggestion
 * the fact that Ghirlandajo told me yesterday that I'm "seeking a revenge for Alex PU", - a possible explanation of your "counter-revenge" act (is there any other acts that Ukrainian users should expect)?

Mr. Bakharev, it was very unworthy, and I'm not going to allow this more. I'm not sure if I can prove this case of trollism (you are a serious dangerous enemy in such a game). But I will fight any efforts to damage articles only for sake of trolling editors. Absent editors, may I remind (упавшего пинаете, господин хороший?) If my counter-efforts lead me to stripping you off your admiship, that would be only for better. Whatever good, bad or AfD-worthy damaged articles are. Worst possible wishes, Ukrained 11:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Until I stop you permanently, please take revenges on me instead of blocked users. AlexPU has had enough punishments, deserved or not. In the other hand, I could be more interesting (more dangerous) enemy for you. Ukrained 11:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Once again I ask you to WP:AGF and do not seek conspirological explanations when we simply have a crappy sensationalists article based almost entirely on the so called "common knowledge" also known as "odna baba skazala". I do not see any punishment of my "enemies" by disruptive editing and as a matter of fact trying my best to improve my "enemies"'s articles (see e.g. Vasyl Stus by User:AndriyK). The article you are referred to are in a sorry state and if it will be linked to the main page it would be a shame for Wikipedia. That's all. I have not criticized the article on WP:DYK as I would have certainly done if it came a neutral party and instead put a few tags that would help you to save the article. If you worry about the article - please find the references and remove the obvious nonsense from the article. If your friend AlexPU wants to improve it he could post his suggestions on his talk page or E-mail them to any user he trusts. I am not responsible for his misfortune (frankly, I would give him much shorter block). And his misfortune is not a reason to link sensationalist crap to the main page. I will answer the specific questions about the article on its talk page. abakharev 12:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Insult
Please look at this. This user Behemoth insult Turks with these words ". A Turk with self-pride does never eat lizards! He will always keep his appetite for the real deal of mangal, the chamaleon". And I also want to inform you Turks never lizards. Ruzgar 03:49, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, they were discussing the page User:Grue/List of ethnic stereotypes. You are welcome to proposes an MfD of the page or remove the most upsetting entries. On the other hand, in my humble opinion discussing the best way to edit such a page is hardly an ethnic insult per se. You are welcome to ask an opinion of another administrator abakharev 04:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

If they were discussing User:Grue/List of ethnic stereotypes page that is no problem. But I feel some insults in the talk page. And can you inform me about MfD. I don't know what is it? Ruzgar 04:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll be more careful. But anyway, anyone can conceive that these words were not intended to hurt anyone. It was just a joke on how stupid the things written on that page are. The real dangerous ethnic stereotypes (whether negative or positive) are the ones that would sound reasonable to some, hidden within a "civilised" rhetoric and constructing a holistic discourse what we properly call nationalism. Of course, everyody is free to not to eat lizards...and chameleons. Ciao! Behemoth 05:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes this is a page about the stereotypes. But I never heard a such stereotype(eat lizards.) in my entire life about Turks. Because Turks are muslims they don't eat lizards. And I think someone wrote that in User:Grue/List of ethnic stereotypes page for insulting Turks. A person who reads that page thinks Turks eat lizards or in the past they have eat. Ruzgar 16:07, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Ккажите, какого хрена вы стерли статью Siberian language?

На каких основаниях? Или это это в России такое понятие о демократии?

Почему это москали заправляют на англовики?


 * Yep, there was voting on Articles for deletion/Siberian language and the result was Delete. You can appeal the results on Deletion review. I, personally, would rather keep the article, but I have to enforce the will of community. If requested I could move the article into User space of User:Yaroslav Zolotaryov or whoever would want it abakharev 09:25, 11 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I can see the reasoning behind your action, but I disagree with it. The result of that old AfD was indeed "delete", but it was more than a year ago. Many things can change in the meantime. I have seen a lot of AfDs against constructed languages, and an opinion I encounter mostly is this: at present, the language is not notable enough for inclusion, but once the language has a considerable community of speakers, serious press coverage, or something similar, then by all means let's have a new article about it! Well, I have a feeling that this míght be the case here. I don't know enough about Siberian to be the judge of that, but I think the article at least deserves some proper discussion, or reevaluation if you like. The version you deleted was completely different from the version that was deleted a year ago, and written by a different person.
 * Be honest: once an article has survived an AfD, there is no law that forbids people to nominate it for deletion again and again and again. But once an article has been deleted, it is almost impossible to get it back, even though the arguments used in the discussion may have expired. That is an unfair situation. I have nominated the article for undeletion here, but what we're getting now is a discussion about the merits of the language instead of one about the procedure. Such a discussion belongs in an AfD discussion! I don't even know what I would vote myself, but before making up my mind I'd like to hear the pros and cons at least. Your opinion on the matter will be most welcome! Best regards, &mdash;IJzeren Jan In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij  10:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Polish medieval monarchs naming
Hi. I have proposed to move the following monarchs from their current, generally Polish-spelled names (with diacriticals) to the systematical English name, citing my general ground that English should be used, not Polish. Would you share your opinion at Talk:Bolesław I the Brave, Talk:Bolesław II the Bold, Talk:Mieszko II Lambert, Talk:Władysław III Spindleshanks, Talk:Jan I Olbracht and Talk:Kazimierz III the Great.

More protection
Thank you for blocking Comfort women, but please note that the current version includes the vandalism that started the problem, a statement without any sources despite numerous requests by many editors for a citation. This is by the same vandal causing the same problems at the other articles below, user 59.22.251.156.

Please also protect Japanese-Korean relations, Shimane Prefecture, Sea of Japan naming dispute, and Comfort women. But please revert the ungrammatical uncited vandalism by the serial anonymous editor first. Thank you. Dollarfifty 03:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your responses. Frankly, I'm so tired of the vandalism, I really don't care if I'm blocked. As I told Nihonjoe, if only registered users who want to contribute are blocked, while anonymous vandals who can change IP addresses at will (look back the last couple of hours) have their way, Wikipedia will simply lose credible contributors and encourage immature tit-for-tat. Really, unless the various vandals are stopped, what's the point? Thanks anyway though. Dollarfifty 04:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Please also protect An Jung-geun and various other articles the anonymous user has been messing with. Please also note the other anonymous and newly registered users (Forestfarmer, Fxxapple, etc.), and try to do what you can. Thank you again.

It looks like user Objectman is the original vandal behind the series of anonymous and new accounts. I am relatively new here and not yet familiar with the reporting procedures. Since you are already somewhat familiar with this vandal's modus operandi, perhaps you can put an end to the vandalism that is driving away other good editors. Thank you.

Although no consensus was reached in the end, I still wanted to thank you for your vote in my recent RfA. Thank you very much. Fritz S. (Talk) 17:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Please no more intimidation attempts
Copied from User talk:Ukrained:

This message is regarding this edit of yours. We both stated in our user pages that we are native speakers of Russian, so we both know that this Grafik's edit does not add filthy Russian abbreviations as you incorrectly stated.

Please in future avoid making factually incorrect statements and personal attacks against other users.

This is your last warning. The next time you deliberately introduce incorrect information into a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

This is your last warning. If you continue to make personal attacks, you may be blocked for disruption. abakharev 00:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Mr.Bakharev, I'm aware that blocking me in any cost is your ultimate WP goal :). That's what Irpen and Co. violently lobbied your adminship for. I'm not afraid of your adminresurs. Go on, make me a martyr!


 * As for Grafik mr, your protection of his trollish actions is lie. Translation of his recent posts from Russian, for whom it may concern:
 * Но всяких националистов оранжевых, фиолетовых и хз еще каких на дух не переношу = I just can't FUCKING tolerate (stand) those orange guys (хз is abbreviated Хуй Знает, roughly meaning my dick knows, see also Four-letter word)
 * Хорошо хоть его на недельку месячишку забанили, пусть отдохнет... А то он небось притомился, столько писанины разводить... :)) = Expresses joy of AlexPU's block since the latter writes too much here - rather scoffy bad faith comment, apparently meaning AlexPU's NPOV edits to Russia
 * From recent English writings to RfAr (where people are not supposed to troll and disrupt):
 * there was a strong nationalistic uprising on Wikipedia, originating from various Warsaw Pact countries and former Soviet Republics, including but not limited to Ukraine, Poland and Baltic states
 * sending USSR history in the mud to please their new political masters


 * As anyone can see, you presented deliberately incorrect information, not me.


 * I believe the real reason of your groundless threats was my recent saving of AlexPU's worthy article from your insidious plan to damage (by adding a deliberately incorrect information, ) and then AfD it. Fortunately, I've averted the trick and the page was not only rescued, but also appeared on main page. Not to mention my civil but persistent counter-campaigning during your RfA.


 * Mr.Bakharev, I'm neither frightened nor surprised by your pressure. Especially regarding situation in real-life Ukraine. But please keep in mind that you are in close danger of being stripped of your adminship as a possible abuser of tools. You threaten to block me (a user whom you're in several edit disputes with ) while paying no attention to permanent personal attacks conducted by User:Ghirlandajo and User:Kuban kazak (who also co-edit articles with you but also belong to your nation).


 * Generally, blocking me would be a huge disruption of Wikipedia, a start of real war (a real uprising like your friend states) between Russian Group and the rest of editors. You are not going to win such a war anyway. Ukrained 07:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * By the way, Mr. Bakharev, you recently voted for successful RfA of a "CrazyRussian" guy that shouts For mother Russia! (see above). Is he the one (the next) who's going to intimidate us when you're on Wikibreak or stripped of your adminship :))? This is not an accusation, only a humorous suggestion. Ukrained 07:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Ukrained, your "campaigning" on Alex's RfA was nothing but trolling which I commented on at that very time. It was so obvious that it didn't affect the outcome at all. If there is anyone to praise for that article's appearance on the mainpage, it is AlexPU himself along with Bakharev and myself. When and if you get blocked, your "uprising" would make a joke of the day. More at your talk. I suggest you rather edit than troll. --Irpen 07:24, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Kurt
Apparently, he is editing again despite your 132 hour block of a couple of days ago. Honestly Alex, because he evaded the block by using an IP, I'm going to extend the block to 2 weeks. If you object, shorten it. But we've given Kurt lots of chances and he just simply isn't following our rules. --Woohookitty(meow) 08:11, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't know why he could edit. As for Deng, I don't see this as a "battle". In other words, I don't compare the 2. The main thing is that the ends do not justify the means. What Kurt has done doesn't justify Deng's actions nor vice versa. Neither has made any real attempt to calmly communicate with the other. Both have violated a good chunk of our policies. And as I pointed out before, Deng's bad behavior predates his problems with Kurt by several months. So I treat them separately and I think they should be treated separately. As long as they continue to violate policies, they will be blocked. If you feel like you can't be neutral in this matter, that's fine. Just so you know though, Deng has had problems with disruptiveness and incivility since his first edit late last year. His inability to compromise led to a 2 month standoff on Eastern Front (World War II) earlier this year. In fact, that article is how I got involved with him in the first place (I protected the article in response to a request on RfPP). So this didn't just "crop up" with him...or with Kurt for that matter, who has been warned about removing material from articles well before he ran into Deng. These are 2 bad actors who unfortunately ran into each other. Even if Kurt was blocked indefinitely and Deng unblocked, I guarantee that Deng would find somewhere else to break rules. It's just how he's acted since he started here. Have to treat them separately. --Woohookitty(meow) 13:16, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Why thank you. I appreciate that. :) --Woohookitty(meow) 13:31, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Btw, I suspect that what happened is that your unblocking of Kurt and blocking of Kurt were so close apart that maybe the reblock didn't register. That's all I can think of. I wish they'd fix the block software. It's so so buggy. --Woohookitty(meow) 13:54, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

sigh. --Woohookitty(meow) 04:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Let's see the results. I looked into their contributions and the RabbitHead looks like a Russian guy (with former connections to either Defence industry or Military) to me while Deng is a Swede. The second piece of info, I do not understand why he E-mailed people begging them to revert some changes to his favorite articles, while he in fact could do it himself via sock. Lets see the checkuser results. abakharev 04:17, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * No reason to be sorry. As we say in America, don't sweat it. :) I know it's difficult with Deng because he's been doing this for so long that even if you look at the contribs, you don't really see the ebb and flow as to how he operates. So not a biggie. I just wish that he and Kurt would take their blocks and just sit tight for awhile. And I wish that they would both understand CheckUser a bit better so they would stop doing this. --Woohookitty(meow) 15:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I nominated the article for DYK, but a clueless admit seems reluctant to promote it. Can you think of a better nomination? We should act quickly, as the article was started four days ago. -- Ghirla -трёп-  14:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support
Dear , Thank you very much for your support on my recent RfA. I am pleased to announce that it passed with a tally of 72/11/1, and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuivi é nen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

You have locked User:Greier's talk page, and I can't edit it. Could you please unprotect it (he's been unblocked and is on the loose now - he asked for it to be protected only when he was blocked). --Tēlex 17:45, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

You are right. I do not take Suvorov as a source, but rather as a list of references. I try to find other evidences in the publicly approachable domain.

RfA thanks!

Open Proxies
You mentioned in my RFA about doing some work with open proxies. I wrote some scripts (and improved some scripts) to do both searching and blocking of open-proxies. What else did you have in mind? Let me know if there was something specific that needed to be written. josh buddy, talk 04:49, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

My RfA


Hello Alex Bakharev, and thanks for voting in my recent RfA, which passed with a tally of (68/19/3). I appreciated your comments, which I hope to take on board in order to gain your respect in my work as an administrator. Best of luck in your continued editing of the encyclopedia, when you return from your break! Sam Vimes 17:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Famous buried Russians?
Please take a look at the recent developments on Novodevichy Cemetery. Do you think the phrase "famous buried Russians" is a good idea for headings? -- Ghirla -трёп-  15:44, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Care to explain
Why section on influence of the Battle of Praga on history and literature in Poland and Russia is irrelevent in the article on Battle of Praga ? Seems strange. I am restoring it, since I see no reason why information on how the Battle is perceived in both countries historiographies and literature is irrelevent. Especially since it is sourced. --Molobo 00:33, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Molobo, care to read talk pages. --Irpen 00:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I already did and no arguments for removal were presented that are reasnoble. The section is well sourced and it is notable how the mass murder of Polish citizens by invading Russian forces was reflected in both occupied Poland and occupying Russia. Bring your own references if you want, but don't delete those already existing just because you don't like what they describe. --Molobo 00:37, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That section is nonsense as explained clearly at talk. WP:DFTT. --Irpen 00:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

The section is well sourced, you only repeat "its nonsense!" as an argument. The influence of the mass murder of thousands of Polish civilians in the Polish capital by invading Russian forces in the battle had an impact on histography of both the occupied country and the occupier as well as their literature.It is notable and will be restored since no reasons exist for it to be deleted. --Molobo 00:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The only piece of info relevant to the Battle of Praga is Alexander Pushkin compared the Praga massacre with the events of events of 1612: "Once, you celebrated the shame of Kreml, tsar's enslavement. But so did we crushed infants on Praga's ruins". The other authors mentioned, did not say anything about this particular battle, although they may partrait somehow biased picture of Poles. As it was shown on talk, the interpretation of the Pushkin verse is probably incorrect. The other info may be well sourced but is absolutely irrelevant abakharev 01:01, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Irrevent because ? They speak directly about the role in Polish-Russian relations that the mass murder of Polish citizens by Russian soldiers plays to this day. If this sources speak about: Then they are relevant and will be restored. As to Puszkin, I never new he hated Poles with such passion, and I will certainly use presented information to expand his article in regards to this example of extreme Polonophobia. --Molobo 01:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * the Battle
 * the role it played in relations
 * Molobo, neither of these gentelmen (except Pushkin) mentioned Battle of Praga. You are welcome to put your valuable sources into Polonophobia. Pushkin did not hated Poles, his verses are misrepresented. We are going in circles, please read that you were told. I will not answer if you will just repeat the same arguments without listening to what you have been toldabakharev 01:25, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

The sources speak about Battle of Praga. As to Puszkin (this being OT) stataments such as "But it is necessary to nevertheless suffocate themFor us the mutiny of Poland is the matter family, ancient, hereditary strifes", are not only highly agressive but also insulting(Poles being hardly "family" of Russians in the first place in terms of culture and history, and the idea being used to justify occupation of Poland and denial of Polish national identity). If this was Puszkins idea of love, I scared to ask what his idea of hate was. But back to topic, as I said the sources speak about the battle, mass murder of thousands of Polish citizens by Russian invaders and its influence on history and culture of both countries. I really don't know under what criteria this can be claimed to be irrelevant. --Molobo 01:40, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

And more It is not that the Russians were silenced by cenzorship, far from being silent,they trumpeted forth their rage against the Poles, and their hatred of European friends of Poles, and the chorus was led by Pushkin. There. I hope this clears up the myth that Pushkin had any symphathy towards nation his country occupied and killed. --Molobo 02:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Where this phrase mentioned Battle/Massacre of Praga? Put it either to the slavophile article or polonophobia abakharev 02:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Any time I put anything on Polish question and Slavophiles Ghirandajo deletes it immidietly(I recall you wanted to give him right to revert at will ?), the same happens in Panslavism or Slavs articles. And no, I was just trying to inform you about Pushkins attitude towards Poles here, because you had some very innacurate information.

Others did it already for me in the section being deleted. --Molobo 02:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * As you have academic sources and all academic sources have references it should be very easy to you to point out where exactly Glinka, Chaadaev, Zhukovsky, Large Soviet Enciclpoedia and other sources mentioned the Massacre of Praga. Sorry but it is difficult for me to check academic credential of an MS Word file written in Polish (edit conflict)abakharev 02:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


 * So it is even easier for you abakharev 03:14, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Good Morning Sasha!
Hello you must not be mad at me, I was referred to you by Ghirlandajo. I am no one. I am asking for help on the Nikolia Lossky page. I was also hoping to create a Father Arseny page and update Father Alexander Men's page. Could you please help. LoveMonkey 13:02, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
