Hi. Both death-camps.org and deathcamps.org links are being blacklisted and deleted due to copyright concerns and complaints to the Foundation. I'm one of several people going around disabling these links on a rush basis. I did not touch your archive, but you will want to disable those links before you make any other edits to it. --A. B.

privjet comrade. just wondering why you have undid my revisions. I am a bureaucrat on the Chechen Wikipedia, and the common name now for Grozny is Джохар-ГIала (see Джохар-ГIала. Thanks. :) --Ice201 04:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid I'm not much of an expert when it comes to non-Russian names. However, I do have a few ideas on how to settle this, but I'll need to run a few checks first. I'll do this first thing tomorrow when I get to Wikipedia. Meanwhile, please do not revert-war. Both of you are now well beyond the three revert limit. I'm not going to block either of you because you seem to have a discussion going, but don't be surprised if someone else will.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 23:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Arguments
Please do not pounce on the new user so aggressively. Whatever you think of his views, he is polite and considerate (unlike some here), uses talk page instead of running revert wars (unlike some here) and gives suggestions in good faith. This is something totally unlike the sweet pair of editors who run around with endless edit wars and verbal offenses. Civil and willing to contribute and discuss users are always a benefit for the project, unlike trolls and agenda-pushers. Let's make an effort so that they stick around and make contributions. Every person (and every nation) has sensitive spots. Let's avoid touching raw nerves. Regards, --Irpen 09:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Chechnya
Russian Territorial integrity is POV because there used to be an independent Republic in Chechnya. Using the sentence "Russians restored their control over the area" is a neutral way, used by historians when describing wars. It simply describes facts without suggesting that one side was the good one. Al-Bargit 14:58, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The words I insist on using are the most neutral ones. It doesn't matter whether Chechens want independence or not. If you want to discuss military history, it's best to focus on who controlled the area. "Restoring territorial integrity" implies that Russians had the right to control the area, which is POV. In 1900 Lithuania was also part of Russia, now it is independent. If Russia invaded Lithuania now, would you call it "aggresion" or "restoring integrity"? The UN recognized independent Lithuania, but not Chechnya. Were they neutral? I don't think... Al-Bargit 15:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Have a look at the disambiguation page Ichkeria. It is under attack. The version I keep restoring is by, an Iranian... --Pan Gerwazy 10:34, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Answer
I'd advise you to return the fact tags. Finding evidence for those statements is possible but not very easy so the fact tags is the best solution there. I'll try to find something to support the statement about southern and eastern Ukrainians. I'm kind of busy now so it'll take some time. Alaexis 19:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Gromovb.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gromovb.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.  howcheng  {chat} 16:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I looked on the image and I afraid that in the current mood over the fair use pictures it would not survive. The subject is alive, reasonably public, he is not doing something in particular, so we cannot claim the photograph to be a historic image. The photo is not a part of a Promotional package that PR people sometime send to publishers: it is way to low resolution for the polygraphy. Maybe we can contact the attaman and ask for the permissions? This is for a good cause: article about his host and probably about him. He does not plan to sell his pictures, does he? There is some uncertainty about people misusing the photo but AFAIK personality rights are still hold with the GFDL or CC photos, so why not? Alex Bakharev 13:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

It's clearly not the whole story, it's only reference is the Black Book of Communism, and in general, it needs an active and respected editor to revise it.

9 мая
Привет Тoвáриш!

Пoздpaвляю 9-oгo Мая денъ Пoбeди!

On behalf of all the fighting men and women who took part in the Великая Отечественная война, a salute to ridding Europe from tyranny and oppression and bringing out the most patriotic of spirits amongst people. A small republic as that of the Armenian SSR, contributed to no less than 500,000 men of which half tragically did not return but were memorialized in their efforts from Stalingrad to Berlin including but definitely not limited to the Sassuntsi-Davit Tank Division, the Soviet 89th "Tamanyan" Division and no less than four Armenian Marshals of the Soviet Union including Hamazasp Babadjanyan, Ivan Isakov, Sergei Khudyakov.

We Armenians now have a second reason to celebrate May 9, marking our anniversary of the liberation of Shushi, now in its 15th year.

I hope you enjoy the treat that will greet millions on the main page on May 9, bringing pride to both our nations (no peeking :)). Warmest regards, --MarshallBagramyan 04:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

HELP
Hello, my name is Max. Half-Russian Half-Jewish from Israel You dont know me, but i have done the current 8-people Russian people photo and the article Russians in Ukraine. I have also made a photo for Ashkenazi Jews: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ashfamo2.JPG

But two people there claimed "its sexist" because it has no wimen, but i judged by contribution not by sex. So they tried to get my picture of by saying there's no licence (But there is) and other lies, and had an edit war against me. Those two now bring many friends there to support there. The root of this war has nothing to do with sexism actually, i just once said to Homo Sapiens he's not the boss so he started this war with many people he has driven their against me. I'm new and have no friends here yet, so i cant bring more people to the Edit-War (I tried to stop it), so i started looking for people who i think will be objective there. I found only three people: Kazak, Murenin C, Lucius 1976, Kuban Kazak, and you four i ask for help (Youre the only intelegent wikipedians i found). There bringing people against me and i'm alone. Now the page is prptected but not for long. The argument is down on the page i will give you, in the "Which Collage?". Please help. heres the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ashkenazi_Jews#Which_collage.3F

Please stop edit warring.
Every my edit in Russian language in Ukraine is explained in the comments. If you do not agree, please use tha talk page. Why do you revert without explanation? --AndriyK 19:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Please come to the Ethnic Russians in Ukrain talk page
There are some changes that we aouldn't like to do without hearing you first. M.V.E.i. 19:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Revert war
I was very disappointed when in your revert warring over imperialist terminology along with it you also erased my work on another paragraph. This is counterproductive if not uncivil. Please refrain from destroying other people's work without discussing. Reverting whole articles at whim is not helpful in reaching concensus on certain issues in the text. Let's work issue by issue with mutual respect. So far, I have been observing lack of one from your part. Hope this changes and soon. --Hillock65 20:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It is you who needs to refrain from revert warring. This is a controversial topic and pushing Ukrainian nationalist sentiment into it does not help. For the sake of consensus one has to make compromises, let's accept on issues and then edit accordingly. For example Little Russian langauge which I can say is not the same as Ukrainian by definition. --Kuban Cossack 20:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Also if you are going to recruit supporters, please don't recruit trolls and vandals ref. Recruit User:Tufkaa, User:Faustian or User:Riurik they will most likely support you, but in the process dramatically enrich the article in such a case that it will be mutually acceptable. --Kuban Cossack 21:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * What nationalist agenda am I pushing, by asking you to be respectful and use terminology acceptable in Encyclopedia Brittanica? I notice from your uncivil and baseless accusations that dialogue with you is probably impossible. You are exhibiting extremely bad faith and are obviously itching for confrontation. That will not happen, I am cutting all contacts with you and am looking for other people to mediate. I will no longer respond to your messages and please refrain from posting your threats on my talk page as I will be considering this a form of harassment. --Hillock65 21:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Harassment? WP:HAR states contrary. I just simply asked you to calm down, also do tell me at what point did I threaten you. If you formal WP:DR process to begin go for it, I will participate, but don't make baseless accusations. Also do keep mind that there is a WP:POINT policy in wikipedia, and you stated your point for the dislike of the term Little Russian many times. (Once is enough btw.) So fine, have it your way but you pulled out of the dispute first not me, remember that. --Kuban Cossack 21:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Your revert of Ukrainian language
You reverted the article Ukrainian language  without explaining reasons for doing it. Could you please drop a comment on your revert on the article talk?--AndriyK 10:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I would like to remind you, you were asked to explaine the reasons for your revert .--AndriyK 12:38, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Use the talk page
Please stop revert-warring and act in Good Faith. Otherwise I will make a formal complaint to the admin and ask for the page to be locked, use the talk page prior to doing so. Just because you think I am a bad editor (which I could not really care) that does give you the excuse to continue disruptive behaivour. There is a talk page on the article so please return to discussing. --Kuban Cossack 21:38, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I would like to ask you to stop using this article as a provocation purposefully posting insulting terminology absolutely contrary to the cited sources and cite xenophobic references. Your behaviour is in no way conducive to cooperation that is necessary for this article. Please, if you cite sources don't invent things that are not there and please stop the revert war. If you cannot support your statements with sources, don't revert the text just because you don't like it.--Hillock65 21:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the fact that out of your contribution in the last hour you made more than four reverts and only one talk page entry. That really is enough to summarize your behaivour in a nutshell as disruptive. If you want to discuss the article go to the talk page. But for all intents and purposes I am disappointed in you. --Kuban Cossack 21:50, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * And who is talking? How many reverts did you make? Let's see How many does that make? And that is not all. Please respect other users.--Hillock65 22:02, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did make some of those reverts, but however after explaining most of them on the talk page. So please, не ищи правду в других коли в тебе ее нету. --Kuban Cossack 22:06, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Please use English, the use of strange language to insult the opponent is the wrong way to prove your point.--Hillock65 22:19, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Kuban, since that discussion at my talk page, it appears to me that Andriy has restricted his edits to the article's talk page, and you have continued edit warring, but with Hillock now. I think you both need to stop that, and I'll go ask him to stop now. You've been here for a while, and should be using talk pages and mediation, not just reverting repeatedly. Please try that instead. Dmcdevit·t 05:53, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Why is the article protected?
P.S. Go to the talk page, someone added a list of References, please check it if we could put it there. M.V.E.i.
 * Ok, understood. I usked Hillock65 on jis talkpage to try to find a compromise with you on the talk page, so please dont turn your back on him if he will try to find a compromise with you. It's not my buisness i understand, but we were going so fine with the article and now it's stuck. M.V.E.i.
 * The article was protected because, it was simply impossible to edit, when each and every one of your edits is destroyed or mutilated by reverts with no talk page entries, at least now everybody will be forced to agree on a consensus and least the exsisting part of the article will be stable. --Kuban Cossack 16:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I support this protection move, but please try to offer him some kind of compromise on the talk page. M.V.E.i. 17:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I sure hope we can find one...--Kuban Cossack 17:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Please read the messege i left for you and Hillock 65 at the talk page. M.V.E.i. 18:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Lets try to start from 0
Lets not talk about what he did or didn't do, the trick is we speak about the article. Say what are your complains on his article edit, and what are your demends about what to do in the article. M.V.E.i. 20:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. By your talk page i can see your proud of being a Kuban Cossack, so i found this website http://kubankazak.ru/ you probably know it, but just in case, i give it to you anyway. M.V.E.i. 20:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

About your user page
In your user page, what you've wrote after tye welcome cant be read because it's blocked by the medals you recived, so anyone who wants to read it has to go into the Edit to read it, you should change it because it's really not comfortable. M.V.E.i. 20:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Your "corrections" in Ukrainian articles
Dear Kuban kazak:

I hate doing this, but your edits leave me no choice other than to ask you to curb your enthusiasm in correcting articles related to Ukraine. For example, your removal of Romanized spelling in Dnipropetrovsk Metro does not make much sense since according to Ukrainian laws (please check Rada’s website for the corresponding law) “Dnipropetrovs’kyi Metropoliten” is the name that is used in international documents. Your modifications like one I mentioned lead to confusion, not clarification. Let your fellow Ukrainian wikipedians modify names and facts related to Ukraine. Let’s contribute facts/knowledge that we know, not facts/knowledge we assume we know. Unfortunately, your contribution list proves the opposite, i.e. you are mostly focused on ‘corrections’ of Ukrainian articles as if the English Wikipedia is written for Russian speaking people only. Thank you for understanding. Solarapex 01:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't know about that, but i know that he did an exelent job on rewriting Russians in Ukraine. His contribution list, which i went thru, proves him to be an exelent Wikipedian! His knowladge is completely based on facts. Maybe there was a missunderstanding about the case you mentioned, but i don't think it allows you to judge all his doings at Wikipedia. M.V.E.i. 08:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm trying to figure out the original Russian name for "the ancient title of All-Great Don Host, last used in the seventeenth century" and mentioned in the article about Ice March. Hopefully you'll be able to help. --Ghirla-трёп- 18:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
