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/ 00:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

re: народна rather than народня? but why?

 * Народна is much more common in modern usage, than Народня, see google test: 492,000 for Українська Народна Республіка and 512 for Українська Народня Республіка. Even the Ukrainian Wikipedia article uses Народа. Also please cheack .. —dima/talk/ 01:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Rusyn Wikipedia
Dear Riwnodennyk, thanks for your contribution to the Rusyn Wikipedia Project. To answer your question, I've started it and I'm now looking for people that speak Rusyn to develop it. I'm not a wikipedia expert (especially in page formating, and things like that, so I think that the mainpage is to be redone by someone specialist.) I dont really know if I should add it in request before it reaches at least 100 articles : in fact many people will probably put negative arguments because it doesn't have many articles up to now. I think you also know that Rusyn Wikipedia isn't a very good news for some people too... So I think we must work a bit on it. You asked for some resources to learn Rusyn. I dont know very much about that but I'll give you what I know. Unfortunately, and due to some antirusyn activities of the Ukrainian governement (see http://www.lemko.org/rusyn/kurasen.html ) there isn't a unified Rusyn language for all Rusyn people yet. However there are 4 codified dialects, that the rusyn academy is now working to unifie (in 2008, I think, there will be codifided standarts for the United Rusyn language). To find lessons of Lemko-Rusyn you may go here: http://lemkowyna.net/index.php?option=content&task=section&id=13&Itemid=65 you may also order books to learn Rusyn or ask questions on http://www.rusynacademy.sk/ There are some pdf formats of rusyn books on http://lemko.org/books/index.html If you live in Ukraine, there are maybe possibilities to look on http://www.padyak.com/about.aspx (it hasn't been updated for ages...) and to contact. If you happen to be in Uzhhorod there are some Rusyn bookshops, maybe there will be some studying material there.. Rusyn (talk) 18:43, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * oh, thanks for all these links!!! however, a little question: do both Pannonian Rusyns and Carpatho-Rusyns want to be unified in single language? or these 2 are fully divided? hm, whole this situation with Rusyns and Ukrainians nowadays looks like relation between Ukrainian and Russian hundred year ago :-\ --Riwnodennyk ✉ 19:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I think they'll only unite norms for Polish, Slovak and Ukrainian Rusyns. Panonian Rusyn is comprehensible for Subcarpathian Rusyns, but it's a bit too dofferent and it turned more Serbian and Hungarian... 84.226.49.97 (talk) 20:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Donbas secessionism
An editor has nominated Donbas secessionism, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:59, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Bosniaks
Greetings. I've noticed you are one of the editors who has edited the Bosniaks article. I was wondering if you would have any input into a few "revert wars" happening lately over there. Here's a diff. Personally, I think the changes are biased, a little racist/xenophobic, but mostly, they are wrong.

P.S, I've sent this message to a few of the users I've seen in the talk page history to try to get a discussion started. 121.222.199.140 (talk) 10:00, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Anton Chekhov
I researched the question of whether Chekhov was Ukrainian while preparing the article for FAC. Although he has been translated as on one occasion saying that he was Ukrainian, this is not repeated by scholars, as far as I can see. Clearly he was not Ukrainian, because he was born and bred in Taganrog. It is true that he had relations on one side who were Ukrainian, but that is not the same thing. I remember asking around about this, and Alex Bakharev and Ghirlandajo both confirmed that he is not Ukrainian; apparently, the word he used in describing himself has been faultily translated as "Ukrainian" and means something more elusive. By all means bring the question up on the talk page. qp10qp (talk) 13:12, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Taganrog was a typical Ukrainian city on Ukrainian ethnic territory until it was transferred to Russia in 1926, however local people in the villages around Taganrog still speak Ukrainian nowadays. If you asked Russians about Chekhov, chauvinism is usual for them, majority of Russians simply want to occupy Ukraine, they say that there are no Ukrainians at all. IMHO, it's like to ask Arabs about Jews. I hope we'll believe information, not private opinion.--Riwnodennyk ✉ 19:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Communist Party of Ukraine - ideology
Hi! I see there's some contention about whether to include Russophillia as an ideology of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Rather than allowing this to develop into an edit-war, Would you consider expanding the article by explaining the party's ideologies? It help to support claims of ideological leanings with citations, which would defend against allegations of POV. If and when concensus is agreed among interested editors concerning the content of the article the "ideology" summary in the info box could then be updated to reflect the body of the article. Thanks -- Timberframe (talk) 08:38, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

How long do you intend to revert for?
Honestly what is your problem there? I gave sources for that presently Cossacks not in sense of a hobby by a few Ukrainian activists, but in terms of ethnic minority kind are all considered part of the Russian peoples. So why do you continue to revert, in absense of any evidence on talk page that they are not? Again the list is not formatted for ethnic groups that historically inhabited Europe, but only its present inhabitants. And presently there no such thing as ethnic Ukrainian Cossacks. --Kuban Cossack 16:11, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Anyhow before you revert the map again, be sure to check that Eastern Sloboda has now been added per source, and that I've reduced the profile of Russians in Ukraine. --Kuban Cossack 16:23, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's great! --Riwnodennyk ✉ 16:52, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Credible author
Hello. A credible authors' reference is being "overrided" by edit-warring. I recently tried to add to the telescope article but this editor seems to think that his opinion overrides a VERY credible author in Mr. Richard Powers. I've been blocked before for edit-warring recently, so I don't want this to be another incident on my record.

Anyway, the other editor seemed to have asked his friend-type editors to form a consensus, so I will do the same. The Islamic connection here is, Al-Haytham. He is FUNDAMENTAL to the telescope and the FATHER of optics. By definition, the summary can include him since the radio and electro-magnetic telescopes are derogatory to the average person looking at the article; I wanted to add it to the history section since it looked cleaner. Can you help your fellow InternetHero?? InternetHero (talk) 21:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Soviet era media
Thanks for adding that interesting detail, I wasn't aware of this. But for the article's sake, do you have a reference for this legislation on Soviet films and cartoons? -- Bogdan що? 18:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Хотя всё довольно относительно и условно, может и Ющенко не украинец, если не брать во внимание, что фамилия украинская да родился в украинском селе--Riwnodennyk ✉ 16:06, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Tahanrih is Taganrog in Russian
Really??? Funny, in all Russian literature I see Taganrog, in all Ukrainian literature I see Taharoh and now you're saying Tahanrih is Taganrog in Russian? So is Taganrog now not-Russian??? Shocking. --Kuban Cossack (По-балакаем?) 16:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Google it. --Riwnodennyk ✉ 21:11, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Spanish google with 35 hits... EoU, made by a former Nazi collaborator Kujibovich... Sounds like a made up word to me. Even non-official names like Yekaterinoslav get 10 thousand hits. The Ukrainian version Katerynovslav gets 2.5 thousand, yet Taharih gets 35...Please, I insist its Taganrog. --Kuban Cossack (По-балакаем?) 16:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:2012 elections in Europe, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Your edits
Hi, please go and read our Manual of Style. Though it seems you've been editing since 2008, some of your edits suggest you may not be aware of how some things are done on Wikipedia. There are certain times you are encouraged to be bold, but renaming a page, for example, is only done after discussion with other editors. This is not something you decide to do on your own. We use the most common or established name (in Western sources) for articles—names English readers are most familiar with, e.g. Kiev vs. Kyiv. Nor do we emphasize ethnicity in the opening paragraph of biographies, as you did at Nikolay Davydenko, per MOS:BIO. It's great to state this information somewhere in the article, but we don't emphasize ethnicity because that leads us down the dark path of nationalism. Thanks. --98.232.98.144 (talk) 06:38, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Accusations in fascism
There is a well sourced and thoroughly made map on the Ukrainian language usage in the world, one of the users inserted it into the article on Ukrainian language. You chose to reverted the edit with the following summary: "rv Russian fascism". Now how would you explain this? --Ahnode (talk) 20:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

What was the reason for regarding my edit as fascism? — Glebchik (talk) 17:41, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a goal only for the enemies of Ukraine to limit the bounds of Ukrainian language.--Riwnodennyk ✉ 18:07, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I personally do not regard cited map sources as enemies of Ukraine. If you have some additional information that could benefit the map, you can always fill in a request at the Graphic Lab in order to improve it. As for now, I think that this particular map is more appropriate than yours. CheckUsage shows that it is used on 14 pages in 13 projects. It is specifically focused on the distribution of Ukrainian language around the world and has nothing to do with ethnicity. Hence the very name of the File:Ukrainians en.svg it was replaced with. Moreover, taking into consideration the sources of your map, it is absolutely out of date. So I suggest that we use the previous map for an article, and work on it in Graphic Lab if you are not satisfied with it. I would also ask you to apologise and refrain from future faulty accusations, as it can be considered as a form of a personal attack. --Ahnode (talk) 20:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with you concerning outdating. However there is a great problem of modern self-identification. To be Ukrainian is shameful abroad, that's why according to modern census you'll find no Ukrainins there, but you can go to any land and you'll here Ukrainian language. Such a paradox. Therefore using the last fair censuses is the most easy way to outline the borders of Ukrainian.--Riwnodennyk ✉ 03:12, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Fully trust the sources given for File:Ukrainian lang.png. But visiting references found no maps. I think, the links should be given more correctly. As of references for File:Ukrainians en.svg, I can grant the scanned page of “Atlas of the Ukrainian history (1914-1939) - ISBN 978-9669-538192”, which contain the exact borders, if you need. Concerning the talk page of File talk:Ukrainian lang.png it is though to be rather negotiated map, but not good sourced. I'd like to be mistaken about this. --Riwnodennyk ✉ 03:22, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll talk to User:Olegzima and see whether he can provide more specific sources. Since both maps are either inaccurate or out of date, I think we should consider making a new file. --Ahnode (talk) 17:36, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
