Holocaust Denial

 * Nice comments on Talk:Holocaust denial. Welcome to the madhouse. ;-D SlimVirgin (talk) 08:05, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for contributions to UA topics
Thanks for your input. If you are interest in Ukrainian topics, please check the Ukraine portal. The most valuable parts of it are two announcement boards: Since you are working on Korenization, check Ukrainization and Ukrainian language.
 * Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements
 * Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board

Finally, in case you're interested, there is also a sister Russia portal with twin anoouncement boards. Regards, --Irpen 05:35, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Please keep paying attention to Holodomor. Some of the recent edits need watering down, I think. Regards, --Irpen 08:04, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

User talk:Nixer
Greetings. This pertains to your comment on User talk:Nixer: Please don't make personal attacks. Even if you think they are deserved, they are not ever appropriate on Wikipedia, especially when regarding a user who is blocked. Regards, – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 21:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Holodomor
Hiya, I'd be glad to help. The edit war looks rather sad. From what Irpen said on the talk page, it looks like taking the dispute to arbcom is a good idea. They would probably give some useful remedies. but note that they can give sanctions to any party in the dispute. The arbitrators are intelligent people, and will see who the problem users are. I've only looked into this enough to determine that the edit war is silly, and that it has lasted in some form for over a month. So, make sure that your hands are clean. :) I would also suggest that they set up a temporary injunction to ban all parties from reverting the article until arbitration concludes. But, ArbCom is in a transitional period at the moment, there was just an election, and several of the arbitrators are being replaced...it's doubtful that they will even vote to hear the case or not until the beginning of February (They have been mostly idle for the duration of the election anyway). So, it would be great to spend that time to try to work it out ourselves. But, talking rarely works with hardcore revert warriors. If it's going to work, the trick is to make sure all parties stay calm and civil. By the way, when you link to user pages, you need to include a user: infront of the page name. For example, User:Dietwald instead of Dietwald. Otherwise, it's just trying to link it to articles. --Phroziac . o ºO (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!) 00:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)


 * The tags aren't that hard! :P You've been here almost as long as I have. (I made my first edit on June 2, 2005) --Phroziac . o ºO (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!) 01:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)


 * ...By the way, arbcom is currently active again. --Phroziac . o ºO (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!) 14:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

This intro revert war was a real hell. I am not sure that my recent edition of explaining the sense of Genocide when used in context of Holodomor belongs to the intro. Could be it belongs to the section as much of the rest of the issue but I simply didn't know what else to do to for the compromise sake. Please stay around and help improve the article. If you want to discuss or correct the intro, please by all means. --Irpen

Strategic value of the great wall of China
Hi - you mention in the talk page of the Great Wall the notion that it actually had little strategic value. If you can expand on that, perhaps with references, I'd like to add it as a subsection to the article. Thanks Adambrowne666 10:38, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply - when I get time I'll try to use those leads you gave me Adambrowne666 10:49, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Discussion on Stalin's Death Toll
Hi there!

I have been looking at some of your edits and was wondering if you would be interested in participating in a discussion about Stalin's death toll?--JohnFlaherty 12:28, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I wonder, do you "hear" any difference in meaning between "remaining" and "still remaining"? --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 05:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. Still remanining implies that it won't be so in the future. Remaining means that whatever is remaining has gotten away and is no longer in jeopardy. Dietwald 05:36, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Talk:Holocaust denial
Very impressive and well-written argument. Good to have you here. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 14:58, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Rewriting the Marxism article
Hi, I noticed that you've taken an interest in the Marxism article from time to time. I'm interested in doing a major rewrite of the article and I was hoping you could look at User:JenLouise/Marxism proposed and give me your ideas. I think you'll see from the outline that I've created, that I have really big plans for creating a Marxism article that is structured and comprehensive and deals with everything that Marxism implies. It's a big task, and I need as much help as I can get! Cheers JenLouise 23:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Farewell of Slavianka, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kirov. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
