Merging
I'm propose merging the two excellent articles on the Nabokov House and Nabokov Museum. They're both quite good, but as you can see they overlap. Note that you started one of them. Do you have any strong preference on the direction of merger? And if you'd rather merge them yourself, i'd be happy to stand aside. Williamborg (Bill) 19:36, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Alex! I hope you can re-protect Anti-Secession Law of the People's Republic of China Naming conventions (Chinese)‎ and Chang (surname) since User:RevolverOcelotX continues to revert and refuse to discuss. A compromise can't be reach. Thanks--Bonafide.hustla 02:59, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I've reported the current vandalism in Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents‎, but nobody take an action. Should we capitulate in this case? Can Wikipedia do something with the vandalism?

RevolverOcelotX anti-Bonafide.hustla campaign
Hi Alex, below are examples of his campaign against me. I can't live in this bad faith enviornment. I will no longer edit out his bad faith/borderline vandalism edits or edit war with him. Please take a look at this. I think his action warrant an indef. block for wasting the community's patience/disruption as per User:PoolGuy even using his IP address as a way to circumvent 3RR. [] But anyway I won't be editing until a resolution can be reach. Thanks

STALKING: Reverting all of my edits by spying my contributions, including stuff he doesn't seem to know/care about for example Wigger article[] [] [] [] []

Harassing me on my talkpage [] []

Spamming/disruptions admin's talkpages. []Note my comments above, good job photocopying. [] [] [] [] [] groundless accusation

Massive POV pushing/reverts even though they've been there for a long period of time (consensus among all users except himself) [] [] [][] [] [] [] []

Disrupting discussion I'm involve in/harassment. [] []

Filing baseless accusations and complaint. [][] []

More available upon request.

Conclusion: I'm sick and tired of his pOV pushing and I"m not gonna edit war with him. His action has evolves from POV pushing on Taiwanese article by claiming Taiwanese are Chinese to reverting all of my contributions for example "wigger". His campaign seems to be out of personal vendetta rather than good faith in the project. His constant stalking and harassment causes me to both tired and disappointed. If he is not blocked, then I don't think I will edit anymore since he will revert all of my good faith edits anyway. He seems to be pursuing me so anyway I hope you'll take a look at this and hopefully block him or file a Rfa. I don't know. Thanks a lot. P.S. Note that this user's arguments are direct copying from my arguments against him. Recycling in such way is hilarious especially from this user. --Bonafide.hustla 21:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * 's accusations are completely false. Bonafide.hustla is making many tendentious edits to China/Taiwan articles, mass POV pushing, and mass deleting to Wikipedia. The "diffs" Bonafide.hustla provided are completely irrelevant and he is attempting to water down this issue. There has been no violation of policy or circumvention of 3RR. Bonafide.hustla has changed his username to hide his previous block log. was previously known as  who was repeatedly blocked for disruption, personal attacks, and vandalism. Now Bonafide.hustla is back again mass reverting and POV pushing at many articles.


 * Note that 's arguments are direct copying from other user's complaints against his previous behavior. See his talk page/contributions for evidence. It seems like Bonafide.hustla is doing nothing but wikilawyering, blatantly lieing, and refusing to communicate ever since his initial arrival to Wikipedia. See the Wigger article where Bonafide.hustla keeps repeatedly reverting 3 times within 24 hours to his preferred version against the consensus of other editors. behavior are examples of bad faith/borderline vandalism. Bonafide.hustla's behavior also matches several important aspects of MPOV (such as arbitrarily claiming oneself to be neutral and others to be "biased" or "pov pushing"). This claim is supported by another user when   filed an bogus, quickly rejected  Requests for arbitration twice against the administrator User:Jiang.  has also repeatedly claim to be "leaving wikipedia" only to quickly come back to mass revert and POV pushing at many articles. His behavior precisely matches many of the aspects of MPOV and it is extremely disruptive and many other users have complained about his behavior in the past.


 * is now repeatedly mass blanking and deleting every valid warnings from his user talk page. He is also deleting every instance of "Chinese" from the Chinese/Taiwanese biography articles without any explanation or communication on the relevant talk pages. See Bonafide.hustla's contributions for details. should be blocked for disruption, wikilawyering, bad faith, and borderline vandalism. Thanks. --RevolverOcelotX 22:04, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for contacting me. I highly doubt a RfC is going to help. Evidently, wherever I post, he's gonna stalk me, so basically for every arguments I make, he'll recycle some of my arguments against him previously and use it on me, thus creating a very chaotic situation where other users and admins simply will consider both me and him to be 2 idiots or even worse vandals. I know some of my actions against him is not optimal, but I guess the only way to stop him is to block him and warn him as a result of POV pushing, false accusation, and disruption by the arbCom or an independent admin like you. The other alternative is for me to permanently leave wikipedia and wait for the community to run out of patience. I highly doubt it's gonna work; however, since he has been gaming the rules, such as avoiding 3RR but continue to revert war, using his IP as a way of circumventing 3RR, etc. I think there's no point of me being here anyway. For example, when I file a complaint to AN/I, he refuted a whole bunch of unjust accusations and edit history of mine that are date back to February and a lot of finger pointing. The other admins refuse to look into this because of massive spamming on those admins talkpages (such as his statements above). He is successful to create an image of me as a madman, a vandal, a menace to the project and now other wikipedians are calling both of us "idiots" and want to ban us both. I don't particularly care about myself getting ban, since no work can be done as long as he's here. Sorry to sound a bit emotional on here, but I really do not know what to do next.--Bonafide.hustla 23:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Once again, is trying to water down this issue by making a bunch of false accusations. If you look at Bonafide.hustla's contributions, one can clearly see that Bonafide.hustla is the only one here gaming the rules, such as avoiding 3RR and POV pushing. Bonafide.hustla has been on an campaign ever since his initial arrival on Wikipedia to distort China/Taiwan articles and still continues to make tendentious edits China/Taiwan articles. An example of this is when he labeled other users on Talk:David Wu as "disruption" and "anti-Taiwanese" (a clear content dispute)in an attempt to gain leverage in a content dispute.  accusation of "using IP address to circumvent 3RR" is completely false and groundless. That IP address clearly only reverted once in 24 hours on Chinese people. And I myself have not even reverted the Chinese people article in the same 24 hours as that IP address. This is an attempt to water down this issue on the part of .  has clearly shown no attempt of to edit in good faith or listen to the consensus of other users. A good example is at Talk:David Wu.  should be blocked for POV pushing, false accusation, blanking his talk page, and disruption. Thanks. --RevolverOcelotX 01:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

SPAM?
Hi Alex. What is the Problem w. RO24.com and Romania.org? Why do you consider these 2 pages "SPAM" and keep deleting our links from the wiki Romania page? Romania.org is the 1st Portal about this country, up since 10+ years, has PageRank 6 on Google, is found on Page #1 on Goggle when searching "romania" so why do you think it is not good enough for wiki? :(

Biased adminship
I wonder, if I were vandalizing templates, like Kuban did, if I were to include Mars or Zanzibar, say, into Template:Hero Cities, how would you respond? If it were me, I bet you would give me a block, for vandalism, and you would feel proud for stopping a vandal. But when we are talking about Kuban's actions, here you keep your eyes closed. No warning, nothing. You notice his vandalism and incivility, you keep blocking others for smaller issues, but with Kuban you are letting him fly. --KPbIC 04:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I am not very trigger-happy when I am dealing with established users. E.g. I refused to even warn you when Kuban complained about your stalking, I also blocked e.g. AlexPU only after the 5th warning and only for 24 h (compare with the actions of other administrators). Or only warned Ukrained despite a number of personal attacks on other users (including me). Feel free to complain to any other of the 900+ sysops on this wikipedia abakharev 04:54, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * So, if I see the Template:Hero Cities as divisible and inappropriate, you see no problem of me inserting Virgin Islands, or Hell into that template? Do you think that the insertion of Tochkas on Tverskaya into the template by an established user is somehow better that such insertion by an unestablished user? Also, I may not agree with some of AlexPU's comments, but he has never got that far as vandalizing the wikipedia.
 * Also, it's true that Kuban is complaining about my "user conduct" and "stalking", but seriously, his user conduct is below all limits, which actually includes his stalking on me, as he clearly wrote on my talk page. --KPbIC 06:09, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I actually find behavior of both of you on the Template:Ukrainian historical regions to be quite unhelpful. You was the first who started adding dubious entries and edit warring to a template attached to a number of articles. You were also the one who obstructed the temporal removing of the template from the articles on the period of the edit war. Kuban disrupted the situation even father by proving the WP:POINT. I think both of you deserve the similar punishment. The same maybe true regarding the stalking allegations. Currently, I locked the template, so all the problems around it are not actual anymore. If you think the template Hero Cities is unhelpful please start the TfD. If you against inserting it to an article please argue your case on the talk page of the article. abakharev 06:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * As a matter of fact, I didn't start adding any dubious entries, but I did restore the entries of the regions which historically were using Ukrainian language, which is neither something good, nor bad, it's just a historical fact. In contrary, Kuban's later actions were not WP:POINT, but WP:VANDAL. --KPbIC 07:16, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Krys, note that while Kazak's WP:Point edits were inappropriate, the dispute about the template's content is genuine, while you can't possibly express any objection to the content of the Hero Cities' tl, you can only object the tl's existence itself and I just commented on that at its talk. You find it divisible, TfD is the way to go. Kazak deserved a stringent warning for blatant WP:Point, but not a block. Besides, your persisting with adding the disputable content to the template that's plastered over a dozen of pages was unhelpful and provocative, perhaps even intentionally, as provoking Kazak into something that would cause his block seems to be an attractive solution for you in your true obsession with his edits. One thing is to add disputable content to an article and yet another is to add it to the tl that would affect dozens of articles.


 * AlexPU's blocks were all for his filthy mouth and things he said don't ever come close to the any remarks that slipped from Kazak's mouth. As for stalking, no, Kazak was not stalking you. As he explained, he got to the Plyushch article as per my message to him, which I left to give him an example of the offensive edit summaries (by you) that he should avoid. It is you who is stalking both him and myself, following both of us into joining or creating a whole bunch of edit conflicts and causing the article's locks. I also told KK, that if he feels harassed, the right way is an ArbCom, RfC or WP:AN rather than stalking you in response. Kazak's short-temperance is condemnable and he gets sometimes blocked for it. Your sneaky behavior, OTOH, is more of an personal ethics issue, and this rarely leads to unilateral blocks by admin, which are mostly restricted to a more blatant behavior. --Irpen 07:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It's nice to see you here, Irpen. So, if you jump into a discussion, it' not stalking, but if I jump into a discussion as I did on mikka talk page yesterday, you name it stalking, as you did. Double standards? At it's not the first time you jump in, and not the second.
 * Next, there is the right way to dispute, and the wrong way. Kuban went his way, which is a vandal way. And your response was not an adequate response to the vandalism. You used his vandalizing actions as an excuse for removal of the template from the articles of historical regions that nobody disputed, instead of fixing the vandalism, and probably giving Kuban a warning by yourself. And, of course, I continue to assume, you acted in the good faith, right? But, when AndiyK was placing a template on Russian Architecture, he definitely acted in bad faith, right? (Please, don't be offended, but just try for a second to look on user Irpen from outside).
 * Finally, AlexPU's remarks were more civil than Kuban's. This is my opinion. But I understand that because AlexPU's remarks were against you, they look more terrible to you than anything else. By the same logic, my opinion may be influenced by the fact that Kuban's attacks are against me. If you want, we may start to compare, but I doubt in the favorable outcome for you.
 * --KPbIC 07:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Very intersting so you think this is better or more civil? So, пидор гнойный, ты об этом всем пожалеешь. Вы все об этом пожалеете. Кстати, я тут осознал всю адекватность твоего ника :). Ирпень - наиболее пророссийский город Киевщины. Я уже не говорю про цыган и наркоманско-проститутскую налоговую академию...
 * As for vandalism well what can I say.Five reverts before the page was semiprotected and the outcome of which version prevailed, not only there but also in Kiev Metro or in Koshetz. (would this qualify as a non trollish entry ?) Or how you went all lengths to descredit my fully legitimate proposal (and now the policy) at WP:CYR? You once accused me of Russification, well on one side you are correct, but alas not in the sense of chauvinistic interests from DPNI or other groups, but in keeping a leash on all of these little "kindergarden" people (Svidomy - and their Belarusian equivelents) off trying to downplay the significance of Russian related issues in their countries. Why does that concern me? Because it is my country and I simply follow on the basis of WP:POINT, it is really as simple as that. Но в отличия от вашей шайки, Казачья дисциплина меня заставляет вести себя благородно, хотя иногда очень не хочеться. Почему, потому что у меня есть достоинство. То что ты в первые свои дни полностью спустил в унитаз когда сел на мою шею, как и Андрикика своей упрямостью и блокированных редиректов, как и АлексПУ своим матом, как и Украинутый своей скверностью (могу его и-мэйлы опубликовать...я думаю и ты Крыс удивишся). А вот теперь интересно получаеться, я ради прикола решил кинуть ваши же козыря, и что я вижу, какой крик один ты поднял (страшно ведь когда до правды докапаються, страшно). Самое главное мне терять абсолютно НЕЧЕГО. Ну хорошо, за то, что я оскорбил нескольких, указав на национальность 80% Московских б...й, получю бан (причем спорить не стану, это будет заслуженно) на неделю или даже месяц. Ладно у меня сейчас дети, итак хлопот полно, на ру-вики перейду, а потом по исчерпанию вернусь сюда писать статьи про метро. Но разве это превратит Украину в пароход который уплывет от России? Разве это как нибудь повлияет на правду событий? Неа все только наоборот, потому что я так хлопну дверью за собой, что ты будешь иметь очень плачевные последствия. Может все таки подумаешь чему ты стоишь своей любимой стране. Честно говоря, был бы ты Россиянином, я бы за такое поведения точно заехал бы, но увы ты Украинец, и я это дело оставлю Диме, или Ирпню или Фисенки или другим, которые итак за срам от Анрийки и Алекса без задней мысли, по принцепу бей своего чтоб чужие боялись, демонстративно отрекуться от тебя. Тебе это надо? Украине это надо? Википедии это надо? Мне...да что мне, это дело Украины, государсвто чей суверенитет я признаю (чтобы ты не думал). Я от твоих плевков умоюсь, но как бы ты не утонул когда в тебя они полетят от своих же. Еще один раз я тебя очень прошу ПРЕКРАТИТЬ это бесцельное и бесплодное хулиганство, если ты уважаешь страну то подумай чего ты ей стоишь.  --Kuban Cossack [[Image:Flag of the Russian Empire (black-yellow-white).svg|25px|]] 00:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


 * there is the right way to dispute, and the wrong way. Well, maybe this is the root of your troubles. Wikipedia is not a battleground. We come here not to dispute or empty talk, not to get rid of some editor or his POV, etc. but to create content, that is adding new material to the main space trying our best to find compromises between different points of view and edit preferences we might have. People who give more to the articles than they create troubles are assets and should be protected. People who by empty edit warring, vandalism, trolling, etc steal the valuable time of other editors, more than their edits are worth are liabilities and eventually should be get rid of. Now lets compare and . Among KPbIC's edits for the August 6 - August 9 I see only one productive edit to the mainspace  90% of the edits are just sterile edit warring or useless talking. Some entries on the article's talk page are difficult to evaluate, but the overall trend is clear. Later in the history there are a few very good edits related to Ukrainian Government and Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. They probably make the whole balance positive, but still 75% of edits are empty "discussions" or reverts. If we will look into the contributions of Kuban we can see some excessive edit warring as well. Still more than 60% of the contributions are productive (adding new material into the article space) some of them quite good. The resume is that both users are probably assets than liabilities, but I would dare say that KPbIC is much closer to the cut out line than Kuban or (e.g. Tufkaa). abakharev 09:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * While I agree with the "creating content" point, it does matter which content has been created. Wikipedia is not a tool for propaganda of someone's views. And, if you check WP:VANDAL once again, you would find that the main idea of that rule is protecting content, and saving resources of editors for more constrictive things than dealing with vandalism of whether established or not so established users.
 * Speaking on contributions between August 6 - August 9, you should probably look on MapLover's contributions too. But regardless of someone's contributions, a clear message is expected from you that constructive edits are appreciated and vandalizing are not. Punishing newcomers for their vandalism is the easiest thing to do. Are you capable of doing something more? --KPbIC 21:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

All of the maps should be deleted as they're just versions of other images on Wikipedia except that Romania and Moldova are altered incorrectly to show something that isn't true. See this for example. &mdash; Khoikhoi 03:38, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

persona attacks
Please tell me Alex, maybe im wrong but is this not a personal attacks and insults? By mikkalai: "A Russophobic LDingley aggressively pushes his POV in Georgian-Abkhaz conflict despite myself being exceptionally mild with my changes after ghirla asked me to keep an eye. Judging from his swinging hot temper I start suspecting that he is in fact a sock of a Georgian nationalist, contrary to the photo in his user page."

BTW Im not Russophobic (please find one sentence when i was something anti-Russian) and im not Georgian nationalist sock. Ldingley 14:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Alex thanks a lot, if you think its biased and one sided, please make your contributions and re-edit it. I will do my best to fix the one sided POV and i been appealing for help on that article for a while now. However, the changes should be fair and backed up by references and reliable sources. You know that better than i do. I think i failed on Wikipedia and its better if i retreat away from it. Thanks again! Ldingley 16:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Don't blind revert
Please don't blind revert. Thank you. --Georgianis 12:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm refering to this paragraph and others:


 * At the same time, taking into account increasing imperial tendencies in Russia and interests of well-known destructive forces, trying to increase their influence in the region, situation can be become more and more dangerous and harmful to the western interests also. Similar tendencies in other former Soviet republics (i.e. in Azerbaijan) shows this evidently. --Georgianis 12:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Alex
Dear Alexander, thank you for your contributions and work on Georgian-Abkhaz conflict. I think this rv wars gone too far. You see, the topic is very sensitive for Russians and Georgians alike. As you know Russia has its plans to annexation of this region and Georgia struggles to regain its territorial integrity which has been recognized by the international community. It’s interesting to see how Russia handles separatism in Chechnya while supports other separatist enclaves in the former Soviet world. However, these all are political questions and should be isolated from the learning experience of Wikipedia. I support more constructive dialogue and looking forward of co-operating with other editors of Wiki. Unfortunately, the sides collided due to intolerance of some towards the others. Same mess was happening on Nagorno-Karabakh war, but they managed to find a solution. When I started to work on this article, in consulted the available sources on the topic. They are available in every library, book store and online. I hope you will understand how important it would be to co-operate and work together on this and other articles. As for me, I was discouraged by some users to be involved on that article. My intentions were true; however, some has resulted in personal insults. Im counting on your understanding and good will, ones again thank you for help and contributions. All the best. Ldingley 13:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I can send you an email with evidence if you want. &mdash; Khoikhoi 17:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, never knew he is interested in Georgia. I need this evidence,thow abakharev 21:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If you look at the contributions you'll notice how he doesn't seem that much like a newbie. Check your email for the evidence. &mdash; Khoikhoi 21:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, I guess you were convinced! Thanks again. &mdash; Khoikhoi 00:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that Khoikhoi p[ointed this out, I absolutely concur with him. The pattern of contribution is exactly the same. He is not interested in Georgia. He is interested in trolling. Just the same he (Boinnie) tried to be "interested" in Belarus, to stir controversy. `'mikka (t) 22:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Lol, he does seem to be a man of many interests. :p &mdash; Khoikhoi 00:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, he created quite a mess in some places where he does not have a clue, e.g., in dialects of Abkhaz language (unfortunately I am not an expert either, and the English terminology is a mess in internet). `'mikka (t) 23:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll go through is contributions and try to clean things up. &mdash; Khoikhoi 00:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I especially loved his Abžui article. An unsuspecting person may be quite impressed with his "expertise". `'mikka (t) 00:38, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Piter expats
Hi, Alex! Considering the low quality of this site and its obvious commercial focus, I very much doubt a link to it would be useful from any article in Wikipedia, let alone from a high-profile one such as Saint Petersburg. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!&mdash;Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Good job! I was thinking of it as well, but I was going to wait to gather more evidence and then present it to you. Do you think we should have Jayjg to a check to see if there are any more socks out there? &mdash; Khoikhoi 23:43, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Good idea! If Jayg also have a checkuser ability, I would recommend to look into each address used by the recent Bonny socks if they are in fact open proxies abakharev 04:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, he does have CheckUser privileges. I've left a message on his talk page. &mdash; Khoikhoi 04:20, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Jgp's warning in my talk page
Here's the unencyclopedic sentence I removed:. Jgp then claimed I violated the NPOV policy, and in his edit summary he said he "re-added" the sentence that I removed, but clearly he modified the sentence to be encyclopedic:, apparently trying to make it seem as if I had removed an encyclopedic sentence when I did not. I believe his warning on my talk page is completely unwarranted, can I remove it? Dionyseus 07:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Pulling a Plug
Hi. You recently reverted an edit by me where I removed the mention of games from Saint_Basil's_Cathedral. You assumed good faith and I thank you for that, but I think the games are irrelevant to the Cathedral and its article. If you disagree with me, please use the talk page on the article. I asked if other editors were opposed, but I doubt there are many editors left to edit that article. --  Orbit  One    [ Talk 11:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Open proxies
Hi Alex, you've just blocked one of Saudi Arabia's national level proxy servers. Run a WHOIS on the IP address and see Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive127. Are you using your own software to test for open proxies right now or are you Googling for them? See WikiProject_on_open_proxies --  Netsnipe  (Talk)  06:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I have unblocked the IP. Yes, I am usually google for an IP and if it is in open proxy list and used for abusive purposes, I block it as an open proxy. This IP is banned on dnsstuff see http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/banned.ch?ip=212.138.64.175/32 Since most of the edits appeares to be in good faith, I have unblocked it to minimize the collateral damage abakharev 06:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Please recheck all the open proxies you've blocked so far using http://vcn-proxycheck.homeip.net/. Thanks,  Netsnipe  (Talk)  06:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I am not sure the tool provided is reliable. Please look e.g. http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=%22211.171.133.91%22+proxy&btnG=Search&meta= - it is on tens of sites describing the IP as an open proxy still http://vcn-proxycheck.homeip.net/?ip=211.171.133.91 gives nothing. I will keep such cases blocked even if the tool gives negative answer abakharev 07:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

It's a dead proxy. I just tried using it to browse and it wouldn't let me. An nmap postscan (# nmap -sA -P0 211.171.133.91) returns nothing either. Note that the list Google returned was generated on the August 8. Enough time for any ISP to shut it down or firewalled off. --  Netsnipe  (Talk)  07:10, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It was used for abusive purposes yesterday by a user (most probably in Romania) who is on the other side of the globe from the server (that is in Korea) abakharev 07:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Article for deletion
Hi. I wanted to create an article on Sergei Nikolaevich Trubetskoy (and finally I did). But before I accidentally created Sergei Petrovich Trubetskoy and filled it with the stuff which I had used before for expanding Sergei Petrovich Troubetzkoy (hence the confusion). So, could you delete Sergei Petrovich Trubetskoy? Best regards. Blacklake 17:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
