Editwar
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Ged UK  08:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring at Lithuanian language (disambiguation)
You have been blocked from editing for to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below. The complete report of this case is at WP:AN3. This appears to be a national dispute in Eastern Europe. As such it falls under WP:DIGWUREN, which I recommend you take a look at. The block may be lifted if you will agree to follow our policies. From your record so far, you seem to be a full-time edit warrior. Be aware that Wikipedia is not a battleground. If you can't patiently work with others to negotiate changes to articles, you may be blocked for a longer time. EdJohnston (talk) 14:46, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Moderate your edit summaries
Such edit summaries as these are hardly in line with basic WP policies. Let me remind you, that you are already informed about WP:DIGWUREN. Therefore moderate your comments in the future. Thanks, M.K. (talk) 20:30, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If I see a double standard here and lietuvos chauvinism, I am not going to keep silent about it. This concerns you too. Thanks =) --Kazimier Lachnovič (talk) 18:23, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Dear Wikipedia editor, would please in the future abstain from edit summaries like this particular one [|chauvinistic vandalism] and [|plenty like this]. It was neither chauvinistic nor vandalism. The name was and still is is referenced further in the article, and was stable version for more than two years. Hence, the baseless accusations on WP:VANDAL is on you, per existing policy. Meanwhile I do suggest you to familiarize with WP:VANDAL policy and also with WP:FIVE, and also with the sources presented in the article. Also it would be helpful if you'd evaluate what do you mean by writing lietuvos, and in the lower case. Thank you in advance.--Lokyz (talk) 20:38, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:18, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Miadzieł Stary. Мядзел Стары (XVIII).jpg
Hello, I am a researcher working on a project about the relics of St. Justinian now in Mosar, Belarus (previously Myadzel). I have some questions about this photo of a print illustration of St. Justinian that you posted on the Myadzel page. I am interested in the original 18th-century image.


 * What is the historical source of the illustration (book or devotional hymn)?
 * Who is the author or artist and what is the date of publication?
 * What is the current location (archive, museum or library) of this published source?
 * Do you have a contact (for example email address) for a curator or scholar that you may share with me, whom I can contact about getting access to study this source?

I would be happy with any answers here on Wikipedia or to my e-mail rno@natmus.dk. Thank you for your consideration, Ruth NOYES, PhD --Rsargentnoyes (talk) 23:40, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello. I've provided all the information I know about this image in the file description. It was published in Hoppen J. Staromiadziolski kościół i jego fundator // Słowo. Nr. 320 (5244), 20.11.1938. S. 5.. You can try to contact Kastuś Šytal, who posted the original version of this illustration on his facebook. --Kazimier Lachnovič (talk) 09:54, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for your reply. Thanks to the reference you had provided, I was indeed already able to find the Hoppen article, and I was interested in the original. I will try following up directly about this with Kastuś Šytal as you suggest. As I am not currently using Facebook, could you possibly share an email contact for him? Thank you, Ruth — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rsargentnoyes (talk • contribs) 10:31, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I contacted to Kastuś Šytal. Unfortunately, he speaks only Belarusian and Polish. Can you speak Polish? Because I'm not sure that it will be a good idea to communicate via google translate. Anyway, I sent to him translation of your questions. --Kazimier Lachnovič (talk) 15:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for reaching out to Dr. Šytal about this and for sending him the translation of my questions. Unfortunately, I have neither Polish nor Belarusian (French, Italian, some German, a little Lithuanian, Latvian, and Estonian). I do have a friend and colleague in Minsk from department of history at Belarusian State University and I can ask them to translate - maybe this is an option. So if you have given my questions already to Šytal and he can reply to my email (above), I am certain I can manage to communicate with him. I am planning a research trip to Belarus hopefully in August/September and I want to examine the original source for that historical image. By the way, because I see you are interested in Roman Catholicism and in the history of GDL as well as Belarus, you may find it interesting to know, that my research (together with Belarusian colleagues) has revealed that the relic of St. Justinian (a very specific type of relic-sculpture called corpisanti which are only very recently investigated systematically by scholars) represents the oldest example of this type of relic that is known to survive in the world today. I am working to publish something about this history in Belarusian Historical Journal. For this reason I am very interested in relevant historical sources like the image. I hope that we can work out some communication with Šytal about this and I am very grateful for your assistance in this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rsargentnoyes (talk • contribs) 17:23, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for delay. I sent to Kastuś Šytal the information about your research. He answered that he needed some time to find all necessary information. I wrote to him that he could contact you directly via email (because you have some friend to translate from Belarusian) or through me. The results of your research are really interesting. Due to the dramatic history of Belarus, there are not many valuable relics or historical artifacts. So this discovery is of great importance. I hope you will soon get all necessary information about the image and publish your results in Belarusian Historical Journal. --Kazimier Lachnovič (talk) 20:06, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

No problem - now I am delayed. Thank you very much for acting as middleman to negotiate my question with Kastuś Šytal. If he replies to my email I am confident we can reach an understanding. You're absolutely right that Belarusian history has not been kind to cultural heritage (like elsewhere in the region), and thus it is very lucky that St. Justinian relics survive still today. Corpisanti relic-sculptures were made with bones from ancient Roman catacombs excavated by Vatican, then assembled in special Roman workshops into life-size 3-D sculptures. As many as 30,000 corpisanti were made for export from Rome, but today these are unique and rare sacral cultural heritage and only about 200 survive worldwide. Similar relics of the corpisanti type were also once in Opsa in Belarus and Varaklani and Kraslava (Latvia), as well as examples in Lithuania (esp. Vilnius). These are all now destroyed. One example remains in Lithuania in Valkininkai, a small village near Vilnius. This corpisanti relic of St. Bonifacus is now in Vilnius museum laboratory for analysis. It dates to c. 1775, so it is still not so old as Belarusian example, from c. 1754. Until now, Italian researchers have thought that earliest corpisanti relics date from 1782. But Belarus proves this theory very wrong by some decades - so indeed you are correct, this discovery is of great importance. I have colleague now in Rome who tries to find some documents in the Vatican Secret Archives about the history of St. Justinian relics. Hopefully something will come to light and we can add to publication. In addition to publication in Belarusian research journal, a scholarly conference in planned, and later international publication in English-language global academic journals and books. I will be certain to mention thanks to yourself and to Kastuś Šytal in future publications on this subject because your assistance has been very valuable. An update: I have found a Polish article with an illustration of the same image of St. Justinian. It cites the source as Lithuanian Art Museum. So I will contact Lithuanian colleagues to ask about this. However, I am still interested to know, what is the source for Kastuś Šytal, maybe it is different source, for example a collection in Belarus. I have a reply from Kastuś Šytal with information that will be very helpful to my research. Thank you again for your assistance!
 * I also received more detailed answer for you from Kastuś Šytal (translated from Belarusian):
 * 1. Engraving of St. Justin was published, most likely, as an illustration in a separate edition. It was published in Pomniki rytownictwa krajowego. Oddział 1, Odciski z blach mniejszych, znajdujących się w bibliotece łohojskiej Konstantego hrabi Tyszkiewicza: https://polona.pl/item/pomniki-rytownictwa-krajowego-oddzial-1-odciski-z-blach-mniejszych-znajdujacych-sie-w,Mjc2OTA5/144/#info:metadata
 * 2. Tyszkiewicz's library was kept in Łahojsk, but in 1856 it, or most of it, was transferred to the Vilnia Museum of Antiquities. After the uprising of 1863, the Vilnia Museum of Antiquities was liquidated, and most of its collections were separated and placed in the museum collections of Moscow, Krakow and Warsaw. The fate of the collection of engravings is unknown to me, but perhaps someone of the specialized researchers studied it and can say something specific.
 * (translator's remark) The third answer is about publishing in Słowo, that you already know. Kastuś Šytal also would like to know if you need information about honoring St. Justin in Miadzieł and Mosar and the holidays that took place there. Perhaps he could find something in the old periodicals, at least in the Catholic newspaper Biełarus, published in Vilnia in 1913-1915, where was correspondence from a local man describing a festival that gathered up to 10,000 believers.
 * --Kazimier Lachnovič (talk) 11:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

This is good information about Tyszkiewicz's library collection. I think possibly the Justin image made its way into Vilnia Art Gallery collection. I hope my colleagues there will find this. However the additional information from Kastuś Šytal is quite useful. I have some research notes (also in Belarusian) about the relics, which I sent by email to Kastuś Šytal. However, I do not know the Catholic newspaper Biełarus, published in Vilnia in 1913-1915, or the description of the festival. This would indeed be very good to have for research.
 * Kastuś Šytal sent an article from Biełarus newspaper about the festival to your email. If you need to clarify any details you can do it here. I can also help with the full translation of the article, but I don't do historical translations professionally, so if you need exact scientific translation, maybe it will be not a very good idea. --Kazimier Lachnovič (talk) 18:31, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
