Code page
Just so you know, your browser is adding things in a Cyrillic code page, even though the pages are set to Western on the English (and Danish) Wikipedias. When you write Àáâãäå, most people see &Agrave;&aacute;&acirc;&atilde;&auml;&aring; instead of &#1040;&#1073;&#1074;&#1075;&#1076;&#1077;. &#922;&#963;&#965;&#960; Cyp  06:41, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I thought that Wikipedia uses unicode... Where I can find the correspondence table of &#XXX -codes and Russian letters?--Ctac 3 July 2005 17:56 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Tarhun.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tarhun.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:37, 8 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:37, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Tarhun.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Tarhun.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:37, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Stories Project
My name is Victor Grigas and I'm a Storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community, especially editors and active contributors in the movement like you. I'll be traveling to Wikimania next month to collect stories for our 2011 Fundraiser. While there I'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your thoughts about Wikipedia. We’ll have a schedule of available times for you to sign up if you’re interested, but right now, we’d like to make the initial contact to gauge your interest. Please let me know by emailing me at vgrigas@wikimedia.org or responding on my talk page.

thank you,

Wikipedia RU Conflict of Interest
Hi, I am a university student helping my professor with his research on different conflict of interest policies in different Wikipedia languages. I was wondering if you, or someone you know, would be able to share with us the conflict of interest policies on Russian Wikipedia. (I know very basic Russian language.) Let me know if you have any questions. You can respond on my talk page. Thanks so much! Snapesofwrath (talk) 06:16, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
