If you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to announce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.

Finally, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

Again, welcome!—dima/talk/ 04:02, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

It is considered vandalism to just delete data that has been there for quite a while to replace it with data from another source you found Googling around. If you want to add a second source of information, you should include it without deleting the other info, as it is done at List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita. If you don't do this in the short term, I will be forced to revert your edits. ☆ CieloEstrellado 16:46, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The data from the CIA Factbook is at least from two years ago, in some cases going as far back as 2002. If the CIA fails to present more recent data, it's proper to replace them with a source that is more up to date. This was done several times in List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita and in many other articles that deal with rapidly-changing statistical data.--Mangy Cheshire Cat (talk) 16:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
