User talk:Fisss

Welcome
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for joining the coolest online encyclopedia I know of. I hope you stick around. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. Check out the simplified ruleset. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.
 * 1) Write from a neutral point of view
 * 2) Be bold in editing pages
 * 3) Use wikiquette.

Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me on my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. Alternatively you can place   on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing 4 tildes like &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;. Always sign the talk page, never the articles.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing!--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 ($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|)  10:52, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Double poster
Hello, I notice you uploaded the Spirit Trap film poster twice, each of different file name. I've just tagged the unused file, Image:Spirit trap.JPG, for deletion in order to prevent duplicated images. Don't worry though, the other image, Image:Spirittrap.jpg, is still left intact. Thank you. *drew 10:13, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Pictures redux
If the pictures you downloaded are your own, please use {PD-self} tag rather than generic {PD}. You may want to add the date when you took every picture if you don't want the pictures to be deleted. Cheers, Ghirla -трёп- 14:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Commons
It would have been better still if you uploaded your images not here but to Wikipedia Commons, where they can be used by Russian Wikipedia and other wikipedia projects as well. Please consider this option seriously. --Ghirla -трёп- 17:19, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * For the time being, I have to remove your images from some articles just because they are too short and we'd better not to turn the stubs into image galleries. On the other hand, if you added the images to Wikicommons, they could be used for articles in other Wikipedias. Thanks for your work, Ghirla -трёп- 17:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Copyvios
If you don't stop pasting copyrighted stuff to Wikipedia, you will blocked from editing Wikipedia. Copyright violations are not acceptable. I hope you will take this warning more seriously than you did the previous ones. --Ghirla -трёп- 14:54, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Kunstkammer.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Kunstkammer.JPG. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as db-unksource.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Википедия не свалка
Дорогой мой человек, прекратите тащить в Википедию все то что Вы находите на рекламных сайтах по всей сети. Википедия - это не рекламный проспект и не прибежище для нарушителей авторского права. Поскольку Вы не отвечаете ни на какие запросы, не удивляйтесь, если кто-нибудь из администраторов Вас заблокирует. С дружеским приветом, Ghirla -трёп- 17:54, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Category:Suburbs of Saint Petersburg
Hello. This is to let you know that [Category:Suburbs of Saint Petersburg] has been deleted. The reasons for deletion are as follows:
 * Category contents duplicate the contents of other categories.
 * There is no exact definition of what a "Saint Petersburg suburb" is. With this ambiguity, it is impossible to populate the category in a way that would be meaningful and useful to the end user.

I am also planning to review the Category:Moscow neighborhoods, possibly deleting it for the same reasons.&mdash;Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 18:39, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Please discuss dramatical changes to the articles on their talk pages first
Hello. This message is regarding the page Arbat street. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Otherwise, people might consider your edits to be vandalism. Thank you. abakharev 20:56, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Veneto.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Veneto.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Alsou100.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Alsou100.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Image:Theatre32.jpg
You've taken this picture from a website, it has been scanned from a postcards album. That's not your photo, and it is a copyright violation, man. At least you could've used "Fair use" tag. Ъыь 10:52, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Fisss, I hope you understand that just because you yourself scanned a photo, it does not automatically make you its creator. Hence, you cannot release it into public domain.  Please review your approach to uploading photographs.  If you continue like that, I or the other admins will be forced to delete every single photo you upload regardless of where you obtain them or how you tag them.

Portal:Russia/New article announcements
Could you please announce your new articles on Portal:Russia/New article announcements? I'm tired of doing this for you. Also, please don't upload photographs you found in the web. Copyright violations may be deleted. -- Ghirla -трёп-  16:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Фотографии
Fisss, я ценю твою работу над страницами о московских и питерских улицах. Только не надо загружать сюда картинки, выисканные в сети. Гораздо предпочтительнее загружать фотографии в http://commons.wikimedia.org. Ты сможешь их использовать в этом проекте точно так же как это делают остальные. Например, владелец сайта www.walks.ru дает согласие на закачивание его фотографий при условии использования ярлыка. Я воспользовался фотами с этого сайта для иллюстрации Manege Square. С этими снимками у тебя не будет никаких проблем, в отличие от тех, которые ты загружаешь сейчас и которые могут быть удалены в любое время. Было бы здорово, если бы ты нашел время ответить мне на User_talk:Ghirlandajo. Удачи, Ghirla  -трёп-  17:41, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Request
Я бы еще попросил тебя не начинать новые статьи про московские и питерские мосты и вокзалы. Это, так сказать, моя епархия, и я планирую описать все основные объекты когда будет время. Иначе может получиться так как с Manege Square: у меня уже была подготовлена готовая статья на эту тему, но не было времени ее выложить, поэтому пришлось заменить все что ты написал более развернутым материалом. То же самое касается Tverskaya Street: статья готова, но когда дойдут руки выложить - не знаю. Во всяком случае, удачи со cтраничками о Бульварном кольце и о Садовом тоже :) -- Ghirla -трёп-  18:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

St. Petersburg
Hi. I am sorry, but I had to revert your edits to Administrative divisions of Saint Petersburg. Your edit removed all the links, making the article next-to-impossible to update in the future. Please do not remove or change the links in this article; if necessary, use piping and redirects. Thank you.&mdash;Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 12:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I am also curious if you are planning to write the articles about every municipal okrug of St. Petersburg. If so, it's great, but I am just not sure what kind of information such articles would contain. If you are not planning to write them, perhaps we can unlink them to reduce the number of red links. Thanks.&mdash;Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 13:29, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it. Could you let me know when you are mostly done, please? There are quite a few minor things that need to be changed to make the article not fall out of the bigger picture, but I don't want to interfere with what you do. Also, please maintain consistency of districts' naming&mdash;do not confuse city districts and municipal okrugs. Sennoy District, that you have just created, should really be called Sennoy Municipal Okrug, Saint Petersburg, otherwise it is unclear from the title whether it is a city district or a municipal okrug. If it's hard for you to keep track of all naming conventions, I'll make corrections after you are done. Again, thanks.&mdash;Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 13:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three revert rule in regard to the article Moscow. Other users in violation have also been blocked. The timing of this block is coincidental, and does not represent an endorsement of the current article revision.

Stifle (talk) 22:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Images
Fisss, uploading the image Namnlös3.JPG was completely unacceptable. The author explicitly said that he gives a few images free licenses and forbids inclusion of any other licenses. You copied his text and upload this image, doing explicitly what the author asked us not to do. I have deleted the image. Please do not do this again. We sometimes take the liberty to guess that an image is de-facto in the public domain and the author would not object to us having it here. Even this is highly controversial and each time is done on a good reason. We are certainly not in the busyness of stealing images from the authors who might object and especially from those who do object.

Also many articles, like Moscow already have quite a number of images. Inserting some images means removing (or putting into less prominent location) others. Please do not do this without some discussion on the talk page. abakharev 01:50, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

For me
Leisure and entertainment

Nightlife There is a vibrant night life in Moscow. The major and one of the most popular nightlife areas is focused around Tverskaya Street. The southern part of Tverskaya Street near the Manege Square and the Red Square area is known as an area with many expensive, luxurious bars and restaurants, and is considered being a playground for New Russians and celebrities.

Many prestigeous night clubs and casinos, such as Metelitsa located along Noviy Arbat street. There also many other different night clubs of various ideology including those for gays, lesbians and bisexuals.

Shopping

Tverskaya Street is also one of the busiest shopping streets in Moscow. The adjoining Tretyakovsky Proyezd, also south of Tverskaya Street, in Kitai-gorod is one of the most expensive shopping streets in Europe [citation needed].

Flickr
Fisss, я вижу ты стал загружать картинки, найденные на сайте Flickr. Как и с любыми изображениями, найденными в сети, с ними надо быть крайне осторожным. Во-первых, обязательно указать источник (source) - с какой именно страницы Flickr они были загружены. В противном случае, они будут помечены как unsourced (источник неизвестен) и удалены автоматически. Во-вторых, надо обращать внимание на лицензию (license) этих изображений на Flickr. Большинство изображений на этом сайте запрещены их авторами для коммерческого использования и последующей переработки (в лицензиях, как правило, присутствует сочетание nc или nd) и, следовательно, непригодны для использования в Википедии. По этой причине, например, было удалено изображение сочинских церквей. Следи за собой и будь осторожен. -- Ghirla -трёп-  15:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Images
Thanks for the uploading nice images. But, you know we live in the society with complicated copyright laws. It is very important to be able to verify if Wikipedia is legally allowed to keep the images or not. Please, every time you upload an image specify the source and give some indication why you think the image can be used on wiki. If it is your own photograph please just say it. If you scanned the photo from a book - state the book. If you got it from the Internet state the address. If you got the image from a friend name the author and show his permissions. We are not telepaths, we do not know there you got this or that image. If somebody asks you about the source of the image do not just revert him like you do here or there. It is unacceptable. Also, please, do not remove free images to insert images with questionable copyright status. It only creates problems. Consider this as the last warning. The next time you upload an image without source, remove a maintenance notice from an image without solving the problem or deliberately provide an incorrect information about an image I will block you. I really do not want it, but I have no other way to stop this. abakharev 00:29, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

For me

Blocked
Despite numerous warnings and explanations in both English and Russian you continue to upload images with inadequate source infromation and false copyright information. You leave me no choice but to block your acount. I see you have been blocked for this very thing before so I have blocked you for a full 1 week this time. You seem like a well meaning contributor, but if you contunue flaunting our copyright policies after this block have expired you will most likely be blocked indefinately. We would rater avoid that, so I'll explain one last time just in case you still haven't understood why your uploads are problematic.

When you upload images from Flickr linking to http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ is not an adequate source, it tell us nothing about the status of the image you uploaded, just that Flickr have some images availabe under various Creative Commons licences, not all of wich qualify as free content (and Wikipedia only accept free content). You need to link to the image page for the actual image. For example for Image:Ostozhenka.jpg that would be http://www.flickr.com/photos/corrida/197267974/ now if you check the "Additional information" section on that page you will see that for that image the author have spesified "© All rights reserved" not cc-by as you claimed. You have also uploaded images in the past that while using a Creative Commons license used a non-free one, if you click on the "some rights reserved" link on the image page you will be taken to the creative commmons deed wich spesify the terms of the license. If it restrict non-commercial usage or forbid the distribution of derivative works the license is not free that can not be used on Wikipedia (except possebly as fair use, if it fulfill all our criterea). So please limit any future uploads to images that use only genuinely free Creative Commons licenses or other free licenses, and be sure to give the proper source so people can verify this. That way we can avoid this unpleasantnes in the future. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 17:30, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:NuVirgos01.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:NuVirgos01.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Please do not delete content from articles on Wikipedia, as you did to Moscow. If you continue to do so, it may be considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. → Aza Toth 20:49, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

As you have contributed to the article Moscow I wanted to let you know it is in Featured Article Candidates list now. --Hirakawacho 08:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Moskovskaya Street
I have added a "" template to the article Moskovskaya Street, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image:Jane32.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jane32.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Rettetast 21:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Baltic Star Hotel and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

Fair use rationale for Image:BlestCD.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BlestCD.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. Videmus Omnia Talk  01:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MoscowCity.JPG
Thank you for uploading Image:MoscowCity.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Colonne_de_Vendome.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Colonne_de_Vendome.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 14:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MECU ≈ talk 14:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Images
Hi. First, thank you for your many images on Moscow, and you've generally done a good job licensing them. However, there are a few issues I'd like to bring to your attention. Please do not put OTRS information when it doesn't cover that image. The OTRS ticket you supplied on some images did not cover that image. A single OTRS ticket can cover several images, but that ticket was very specific and only covered one image. Second, images on flickr that are marked "NC" or "ND" (non-commercial or no-derivatives) are not free enough for us. Please do not upload them. Also, please upload free flickr images to Commons, as the license can be verified, so that if the flickr user changes the license later, we can see keep it. And lastly, please upload all your free images to Commons. And upload larger resolution of your own works when possible. Most of your images were 640x480 or smaller. Commons wants large image. 5MB is not uncommon. If you have larger resolution image, please upload those. You may wish to move your free images here on Wikipedia to Commons so that they can be used in all language projects. You can use this tool to help you in moving them. Also please consider using Information on your image description pages so that people can learn more about the images and find them easier.

Whew! Anyways, thanks again and if you have questions or need help, please feel free to ask me. Thanks. <font color="CEBE70">MECU ≈ talk 14:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Yauza Boulevard
A tag has been placed on Yauza Boulevard, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

short

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
