WP:CITE
Hi, I noticed you work involving Lithuanian military articles. May I ask that you cited your sources WP:CITE in those articles? If you have any questions please ask, without hesitation. M.K. (talk) 13:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, ok, I will try. Most of the sources are in Lithuanian language, so I think that isn't expedient to cite it too exhaustive in English Wikipedia, where most readers are from English speaking countries. GiW (talk) 17:08, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Lithuanian sources are ok (if they meet WP:RS requirements). Take a look at this article, and it sources. M.K. (talk) 15:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Pictures
I noticed that you uploaded a lot of nice images from KAM. Perhaps KAM would allow to upload and historical pictures as well, which are in KAM's possession? M.K. (talk) 22:29, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, KAM granted permission to use all the photos, which are in page www.kam.lt GiW (talk) 11:03, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you clarify are these photos available for usage as well? M.K. (talk) 15:32, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * They wrote, that all photos in the website kam.lt can be used under the terms GFDL. But if you want, you can write directly to Birutė Petrauskienė (Deput Chief of Publishing and information provision service under Ministry of National Defence Republic of Lithuania) by e-mail: Birute.Petrauskiene@kam.lt and ask about these photos. GiW (talk) 17:32, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. BTW are you interested only in military related topics? M.K. (talk) 17:35, 4 April 2009 (UTC)P.S. You also may be interested in Project Lithuania
 * At the moment I don't have plenty of time for editing, so first of all I want to renew the military related articles in English and Lithuanian wikipedia. But I think I'll join Project Lithuania in the future. GiW (talk) 20:00, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Lithuania's project would defiantly benefit from your arrival. I will look around for those pictures. IKi M.K. (talk) 08:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Conflict with editors
Re your note on WP:LITH, if you disagree with editor's actions, you should comment on article talk page and/or user talk page. It's best to discuss the issues directly before asking for input from wider audience. Renata (talk) 21:27, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Avion Express logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:Avion Express logo.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:10, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Possible interest
Hi, as you showed interest in Lithuanian military, perhaps you will have suggestions regarding this article as well. M.K. (talk) 11:17, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Category:Military police by country
The phrase "military police" has four quite different meanings, so we try not to use it in international contexts. In the conext in which it appears it is being used in that category, we use "military provost", which has the same meaning as "military police" in English, but seems to work worldwide, and for this we use Category:Military provosts. Perhaps you would be able to remove Category:Military police by country? ninety:one (reply on my talk) 16:53, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I absolutely agree with you, but "military police" can mean four different things altogether, and is more confusing. The situation is not entirely satisfactory, so if you were able to come up with some suggestions as to how we might be able to differentiate between the different types more effectively, they would be most welcome! ninety:one (reply on my talk) 17:27, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Why was Sarandoy moved to Sarandoy (Afghanistan)?
Greetings, you provided no Move explanation for moving this article? What's the reason; it's cool if there is one but we're left wondering. Is there a different "Sarandoy" that the Afghan one needs to be distinguished from? If not, it should be moved back. MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:22, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Category:Former gendarmeries
We don't use the word "former", because it is unclear - did they use to be gendarmeries, and are now something else? If have moved the articles in the category to Category:Defunct gendarmeries. ninety:one (reply on my talk) 20:38, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement warning: Eastern Europe
Hi, you are engaged in a series of reversions with an IP editor about the nationality of a number of places in Eastern Europe. These reversions continue long-running edit-wars, which is very disruptive to Wikipedia for the reasons explained at WP:EW. If you find that another editor makes such reverts, please do not revert them in turn, but seek administrator assistance via WP:AN3. Please also note the following warning:

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose, at their own discretion, sanctions on any editor working on pages broadly related to Eastern Europe if the editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article ban. The committee's full decision can be read at Requests for arbitration/Digwuren.  Sandstein  06:30, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
