Thanks for the Z80 work!
Hi and thanks for the contribution of the info on the Soviet Z80 clone! No problem about the language fixing; we all learn from each other that way. I know I do. Wikipedia is a prime way of polishing one's writing in any language, including one's own. :) If you know anything more about the T34 chip and other Soviet/Russian chips, don't hesitate adding info to the 'pedia; it will be greatly appreciated, believe me. I linkified the T34 article in case anyone has any info to put there, now or later.

As for myself, I take great interest in the history of computing in general, and microcomputing in particular, and also have an interest in Soviet high tech in many areas---from weapons to computing, etc, etc. (I guess I have the geek/engineer's gene; any tech stuff is interesting; an being a reader of history as well, I love to learn about tech that hasn't been very well covered in the Western press before the iron curtain went away). In time I hope to learn some more about the Soviet supercomputers.

By the way, is the T34 CPU's name in any way connected to/inspired by the 'real' T34? (a quality product by any standard, I'd say!) :-) Just wondering. --Wernher 00:01, 11 August 2005 (UTC)


 * No, but I was also amused by this coincidence when I first saw this chip. BTW, I live 0.5km from the place where these T-34s were produced during WWII :)


 * That's very interesting to hear. Are there some museum there now? And: weren't the T-34s manufactured more places than one? Also, I've heard/read somewhere that one reason that many T-34 crews were expert tank drivers/operators was the common practice of letting the factory builders who built each particular tank follow it into combat as its crew? --Wernher 00:48, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * There's a museum, but the most interesting is that on June, 1st they allow everybody to walk in any part of the plant and make an exhibition of tractors (the most interesting probably is T-800, which was, and maybe still is the most powerful tractor in the world). In 2003, when they celebrated their 70th anniversary, they had their exhibition not in the plant but almost in the center of the city, on one of the squares. Much more tractors were exhibited, include old ones and their newest ones, and besides, some tanks.
 * As for the places of manufacturing. I investigated this and it turned out that in fact, T-34 was produced in many places: Kharkov, Nizhny Tagil, and Gorky. Nowadays they don't produce any tanks here, but in Nizhny Tagil instead.
 * As for the crew, I haven't heard of this. This could hardly be true, I think, as at least at our plant they experienced a great shortage of workers, as most men went to war, so they had to employ women and children. My granny worked there when she was 14 years old. However, she told me only that during the peace, when they tested their tanks near our city, she did have to be there in order to fix any problems (as she worked in quality control department). BTW, this (producing & testing of tanks during the peace) was all kept in secret, she signed an NDA and wasn't allowed to go abroad until 1987. --Anthony Ivanoff 14:35, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I will try to search for T34 microprocessor on the internet, but I don't think I will find much. Instead, I consider adding some info to the wiki about home-made Z80-based computers, amazingly popular in Soviet Union in 80s. I have two such computers, if I find some info about T34, I will take a photo of T34-based computer which is buried somewhere in the corner of my room and upload it here. I also have a great many Radio magazines (Radio, published since 1924, is still the most popular magazine in Russia about electronics) - and it was there where schemes and instructions for assembling these computers were printed. --Anthony Ivanoff 05:40, 11 August 2005 (UTC)


 * So, actually, the Russian electronics hobbyist community of the 80s seems to have functioned a whole lot like the American one, namely by having magazines publish circuit layouts and articles about microcomputer kits? I don't think we had such sophisticated magazines in Scandinavia; don't know about central and western Europe, though. --Wernher 00:48, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * That's right. It was this magazine who made all these Spectrums so popular, by publishing detailed descriptions on how to assemble them. IIRC, it all started from Radio80-RK computer ("Radio" for the name of the magazine, 80 for 1980, and RK for "Radio amateur's computer" - it was intended for calculations related to eletronics, thus helping these amateurs in their hobby). --Anthony Ivanoff 14:35, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Update: So I didn't find any info about T34BM1, as I expected. The only thing I found is this page. It is a poll, asking 'What was your first computer', and here a person says he had a T34-based computer (search for "Z80" in the page).

USSR home-made Z80 machines
And I also took photos of my two computers, and uploaded them. Maybe they could be used in some articles.


 * Cool. Might one or both of these machines by any chance be similar to any of those mentioned in the humongous list of ZX Spectrum clones? I must say I'm quite overwhelmed by the sheer number of Speccy clones made all across Europe incl. the USSR and Russia. This surely must be the most-cloned home computer ever. --Wernher 00:48, 12 August 2005 (UTC)


 * The computer on the first photo wasn't on the list, so I updated this list and wrote an article about it.
 * As for the other, unfortunately I don't know any information about it. Its manual only says that it's "a Leningrad variant of ZX Spectrum", and nothing more. --Anthony Ivanoff 14:35, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Oy vey -- you're mistaken
Hello Anthony: You have made a mistake in nominating Oy vey for deletion. See my comments at Articles for deletion/Oy vey, and please read what I have added to the article Oy vey itself. I suggest you withdraw the nomnation for deletion on the grounds that you were not aware that it is a legitimate word in Hebrew and Yiddish and that the expression Oy is used in more than twenty verses all over the Hebrew Bible, besides the fact that it has become a hugely popular English word and expression, especially in the modern United States. Thanks for your attention. IZAK 17:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC)


 * * Indeed I have made a mistake. But anyway, most people voted for Keep, so let's just leave it as it is. Then, is it possible to withdraw the nomination even if it was me who nominated it? --Anthony Ivanoff 20:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

External/Internal links.
Please don't give articles internal links to non-article pages. This creates a problem for mirror sites that copy only the article name space. If somebody clicked on the mirror version of a link to the "Wikipedia:" project namespace, they'd get a 404 file not found error or something like that. Keeping the external link would be best, so they can be directed to the WP page if they want to see it. &mdash; F REAK OF N URxTURE  ( [ TALK ] )  12:01, Dec. 19, 2005


 * I didn't know about it. Thanks for the explanation. --Anthony Ivanoff 12:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. Another thing that is frowned upon for the same reason is redirects from article space to other spaces. So if you see any of them, list them at Redirects for deletion. These are generally deleted quickly, except in isolated cases where they (A) are very widely used and (B) have titles with no meaning outside wikipedia (example: BJAODN → Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense). Happy editing. &mdash; F REAK OF N URxTURE  ( [ TALK ] )  12:16, Dec. 19, 2005

You are entitled to vote as you wish of course. However, did you base your vote based not on the candidate's strength and weaknesses or based on an advertizement from a third party that you didn't like? In the latter case, I would encourage you to study the candidate's contributions, statements and opposition. You are allowed to change your vote (as well as to keep it unchanged obviously) if you realize that you simply got carried away. Whatever you do, it is up to you of course. --Irpen 23:24, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Voskresenie
Hi Anthony, I've created this history/philosophy stub and I wondered if you'd be so kind as to take a look because I can't speak Russian. Researching this subject without any knowledge of Russian has proven to be a little too difficult. I'd like to find out as much info as possible, but I'm particularly interested to know when the group began and when it disbanded (if it has been disbanded?). I'd really appreciate your assistance!--Nicholas 15:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC) But note that Voskresenie, in fact, should be a disambiguation page. Voskresenie in Russian can also mean:
 * Well, according to http://www.marecki.ru/text/interesting_text_4.htm, it began in December 1917. In March 1918 there were already 18 people. They published a journal called "Free voices", free as in "freedom", of course. But there were only two issues, the last in June 1918. The name "Voskresenie" (resurrection), that is, resurrection of Russia, was adopted in late 1919. Bakhtin was the first to be arrested on December 8, and Meyer - on December 11, 1928, others a bit later - in December and January. So that was when it was disbanded.
 * Sunday
 * Resurrection (either related to Jesus Christ, or used metaphorically)
 * A very old (1970s till now), famous and popular rock band in Russia.

Thanks for your interest in Russia :)

PS Hmm... This page at marecki.ru may be a good source for turning the stub into a great article... Maybe I will translate info from there and put it in the article. Or maybe not =)

--Anthony Ivanoff 17:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this Anthony. The most recent edit suggests that the Voskresenie were strictly opposed to the Bolsheviks. However, my understanding is that the group was sympathetic towards the revolution, although they wanted the freedom to express their spiritual beliefs. I'll do what I can to research this, but I'd really appreciate all the help I can get. Once again, many thanks [[Image:WikiThanks.png]] --Nicholas 18:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)


 * In this article, in the paragraph about Free Voices that they published, it is said:


 * The journal reflected the political ideas of the circle. The articles called Russian people to fight bolshevism and urged intelligentsia to unite for saving the Motherland. They warned people that they country is in danger. The believed that the main aim of Russian intelligentsia was to return to religion and fight together against bolshevism.


 * But a bit later, the author states:


 * 'The people in the circle did not have a definite political orientation. There were 2 communists, 1 monarchist, and most of them hoped for evolution'' of Soviet regime. The only way to save Russia, as they believed, was propaganda and rebirth of religion."


 * So it's in some way controversial :) --Anthony Ivanoff 18:41, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Otto_Lacis.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Otto_Lacis.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.

Kalachyovo Airfield moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Kalachyovo Airfield, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
