Malaya Sadovaya street

 * Коллега, не могли бы вы ознакомиться с этими двумя небольшими статьями, посвященными картинам русских художников Александра Семёнова и Николая Тимкова: Malaya Sadovaya street (painting) и Russian Winter. Hoarfrost (painting) и высказать здесь и здесь своё мнение по поводу целесообразности их удаления? Как я вижу, среди инициаторов удаления созданных 3 дня назад статей нет занимающихся русским искусством или хотя бы элементарно знающих язык. Статьи являются переводом статей, существующих в русском разделе Википедии: Малая Садовая (картина А. М. Семёнова) и Русская зима. Иней (картина Н.

Proposed Tibetan naming conventions
A while back, I posted a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions, i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on Talk:Qamdo and Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture. I hope that discussions on the proposal's talk page will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed naming conventions and giving your opinion, I would definitely appreciate it.

Drukair
Hi Russavia!

Firstly I notice http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Druk_Air&diff=next&oldid=326568201 The problem is that the location of the corporate/administrative headquarters is not the same thing as the airline's main hub. Each airline's lead needs to state where the administrative HQ is. While many airlines have the HQ at the same airport as the main hub, some have their HQs at different airports (Swiss International Air Lines), or in a city center (United Airlines), or in a city not considered to be a hub (Lufthansa).

If you are curious about the citation, from my understanding the lead is a better place for the citation than the infobox, and if a piece of info in the lead is not in the body of the article, it must be cited in the lead, even if it is non-controversial.

Also, after reading http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Druk_Air&diff=389719059&oldid=388305100 I think they could be useful. They may have things like information for nationals of a certain country regarding the airline, sale of tickets in local currencies, etc.

The website says that the agent's the only registered agent in the country of Singapore. Not sure if Druk Air's site has that info. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:39, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Rusavia

I wonder if you can help me. I am presenting a talk on Wikimania on Flagged Revisions and I would like to have screenshots of English patrolling interface because I think the audience would be distracted by Cyrillic if I did them from the Russian Wikipedia.

I would like to have:
 * An article where some changes are not patrolled;
 * A stabilized article
 * A bit of a watchlist where there is at least one unpatrolled article shows "!" signs.

Rough translation
Why did you do this? The content removed was a very poor machine translation, and tidying it without the original source would be very difficult, surely its better off stubbed and built up from that? Or are you planning on tidying it yourself?-- Jac 16888 Talk 16:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I did this because the reference is clearly given, but the text is in need of accurate translation. This is noted by the template at the top of the page which makes that notice known. I don't agree with your machine translation, as there are also spelling errors in the English output. Either way, we don't work on a schedule, and the information can be fixed in due course by ANYONE. But as there is clearly a reference given in the article, the rest is merely marked for cleanup. And it should be treated as such. And no, I am not planning on tidying it up myself, but neither do I plan on simply gutting the article. --Russavia Let's dialogue 16:58, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I didn't remove any reference, and I don't know what you mean when you say you disagree with my machine translation. Tidying a bad translation is very difficult, even more so when we don't have the original untranslated content. By removing the block of unintelligible content, it leaves a clear and understandable stub, which can be expanded upon much more easily. The removal of bad translations is a common occurrence, and one which is better for the project than leaving a block of what is basically gibberish-- Jac 16888 Talk 17:07, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Air China Cargo
Hi, I am just wondering why you have removed Air China Cargo from the category Cargo airlines please? Thanks --JetBlast (talk) 19:23, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, sure, because the articles are already categorised into Category:Cargo airlines of China, which is part of Category:Cargo airlines. The same goes for Category:Transport companies of China which has as a subcat Category:Cargo airlines of China. It is over categorisation to have all of these categories on articles; categorisation should be succinct, which the full range of articles now is.

AE request
Submitted. --Martin Tammsalu (talk) 07:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Isn't it just wonderful to see artificial battleground creation on WP, what after WP:EEML one would have thought such tactics would have ceased. How fucking wrong I was. So one has to be thankful for such requests and just hope that some admin out there will see what such editors are doing and allow that big ol' WP:BOOMERANG to hit them in the arse, nice and fucking hard. --Russavia Let's dialogue 08:05, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Please see this suggestion by Tammsalu that might allow his AE complaint about you to be closed with no action. I am hesitating to proceed with this because I am not convinced that other editors want the article tagged with either or any related one. (You removed the category on August 12). I've left a note for Tammsalu asking him to explain why he thinks other editors support applying this category. I guess your restriction does not allow you to speak to him directly, but I'll report back if anything becomes clear. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 01:28, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

 * The AE complaint against you has been closed with no sanctions. In the Result section I've explained how I think the interaction ban should work. Note that there is a different way of setting up interaction bans proposed by T. Canens. I am not sure if that other approach might be easier to live with. It is something that might be considered for the future. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Bolded NATO names
I know that the bolding of NATO names for Soveit/Russian aircraft is a an issue with you. However, The aircraft stlye guide now mandates that we need to bold those names. This change was made because the WP MOS states that alternate names should be bolded, and WPAIR was forced to change the previous quotes format to bolding by the MOS-"enforcers". I'll try to find the discussion for you to read, and so you'll know where to contest this if you want to. But please don't remove the existing boldings fromthe title lines of aircraft articles until the WP MOS is changed to allow it to be unbolded. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 21:16, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

I did find the relevant discussion, but it seems I "mis-remembered" the details of the discussion. The discussion is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft/Archive 24, and the MOS-enforcers were not involved. (I was thinking of other disputes where they were involved in enforcing MOS guidelines.) The discussion should be self-explanatory, and of course you're free to raise the issue again at WT:AIR if you desire. - BilCat (talk) 21:50, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Even Libyan thematic is currently more actual, the Congolese entity left also the great consequences in history of its state. I supports equality in this case. Alex discussion ★ 14:39, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Alex, you don't have to convince me on anything here, it is the rest of the community who are editing that you have to convince. You may want to follow the instructions at WP:RM. However, as it stands now, I honestly don't think you will be successful in the move request, as if you look at Google for "National Transitional Council" the majority of web results, news results, book results and scholar results will indeed be referring to the Libyan entity. You may also want to peruse WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for more info as well. --Russavia Let's dialogue 17:49, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

WP:AE
I would still listen to any ideas you may have that allow you and the EEML people to avoid running into each other and produce less drama overall. From the discussion at AE and at User talk:T. Canens, I sense you are indignant that anyone could see you as being at fault. (Well in this particular case the other guy made a personal attack, so forget that for a moment; I'm referring to you and Tammsalu getting along in the future). I'm not sure the overall problem is anyone's fault long term, but any small flash of creative suggestion would not be amiss. EdJohnston (talk) 02:37, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks Ed, I will formulate a response to you and I will attempt to address some of the things you have brought up. I won't be dealing with the issue of personal attacks, as they are plain to deal with. Hopefully there is some way to look forward so that editors are able to edit on content (which is why we are here after all), without restricting editors too much. I will be posting on my talk page if that is ok with you. Will likely be in a couple hours, or perhaps tomorrow. Cheers, --Russavia Let's dialogue 03:07, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Things to consider from the outset
Ed, before one can discuss things like this, we have to acknowledge why it is we as editors are even present on the project. As I state on User:Russavia, and which I will repeat here:

"My presence on English Wikipedia is for one purpose and one purpose only. To participate in a collegial environment, with the community goal of building a free Encyclopaedia."

My interests, and where much of my editing is focused, is on the following topics:


 * Aviation
 * Foreign relations of Russia, including
 * Category:Diplomatic missions of Russia
 * Category:Diplomatic missions in Russia
 * Category:Ambassadors to Russia
 * Category:Ambassadors of Russia
 * Category:Bilateral relations of Russia
 * Any other topics which relates to how Russia relates to the outside world, or how it is perceived, etc. Therefore, any article which even mentions Russia, is of possible interest in relation to my editing.

In terms of Russia's foreign relations and its place in the world, one can't consider the foreign relations of Russia, without considering Estonia-Russia relations, which then has to consider many factors such as Occupation of the Baltic States, Russians in Estonia, human rights in Estonia, and down the chain it goes. Or let's look at Russophobia, which is a major part of how Russia is seen in the world. One can't consider modern Russophobia without considering Poland-Russia relations, or the Great Game, or the Testament of Peter the Great. It is impossible to only edit on the current, when the history also has to be taken into account.

But if you were to look at my contributions, you will see that in addition to editing almost anything to do with Russia, I also do a lot of the following:


 * Fixing bits and pieces of articles from front page, or at Portal:Current events
 * Categorisation
 * Work with images - moving to Commons, tags copyvios, etc - in addition to placing images I upload on Commons in relevant articles - not including CWC images, I have uploaded some 2,000 images to Commons since the beginning of the year - they have to go somewhere.

So my editing is all over the place, and doesn't really follow any set pattern.

You can also see a big list of articles, in various stages of development, that I am working on (some of them it seems I've been doing so forever) at User:Russavia.

Current problem and possible solutions
Ed, in relation to this on your talk page, I have scrubbed almost all of what I was going to write, as it was going to be the end result of what I was going to suggest. I will say that "dividing up Estonia" would not be a solution that I would go for, because as far as both myself and Tammsalu are concerned, to do so would be detrimental to both myself and him, due us both being in good standing, with the only restriction being the interaction ban. Detrimental as it would prevent article development and improvement on articles clearly within our editing interests, which could be off limits if Estonia was carved up.

So long as interactions were concentrated on content, and comments by either editor were only on content, with commenting on editors themselves (in any way shape or form) still being prohibited, I would have no problem, as stated several times, to the lifting of the interaction ban albeit with "a content only" specification. Additionally, it may be worthwhile in having a WP:1RR limit placed.

Also, I would support the lifting of the interaction restriction in relation to myself and EEML, with the exception of User:Vecrumba and User:Volunteer Marek, whom I would not feel comfortable in having those bans lifted due to obvious events.

Comments welcome. --Russavia Let's dialogue 08:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * This sounds like a good solution. Forcing the editors to focus on editing and talking about content only would prevent them from fighting each other and still allow Wikipedia reap the full benefits of their useful work on the project. Edit warring has also often been a problem, so a 1RR restriction would be a good idea as well, with the additional note, that any tag-teaming to circumvent 1RR would be looked upon harshly.

If you no longer wish to pursue lifting one of the interaction bans, then I'll go back to Plan B, which most likely would be a topic ban from certain Baltic issues.

I figure you might be a good authority to determine if this site is reliable or not. Thanks, Resolute 15:08, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The source is a reliable one, HOWEVER, MChS has announced that they have only recovered half the bodies, the rest are "missing", and nothing official confirming who is dead, missing or survived, has yet been made, so therefore, we should be very careful not to break WP:BLP by announcing someone dead, when their body may not even have been recovered as yet; regardless of what news sources may say on a prelim basis. --Russavia Let's dialogue 15:15, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

 * There is of course still doubt. Same thing occurred with Abkhazia and Vanuatu. Even with the note verbale from Vanuatu, this was not enough for it to be reincluded in the article until a week or so later. Actual clarification from NEUTRAL, reliable sources is required. Even with the scan of the note verbale, there is still questions from Serbia as to the legitimacy of GSB's recognition.

As I mentioned, POV needs to be fixed, but gutting an editors entire edits to the article is in itself disruptive. --Russavia Let's dialogue 20:10, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Replacing POV additions is unacceptable - It was a drive by revert - it wasn't locked but it is now - there was discussion at the BLP noticeboard. Rubbish opinionated attack content is just that and editors are requested to remove such additions - the fact that a few additions were acceptable is not requesting good faith users to filter them all out one by one.

 * Off2riorob, be very careful in talking of "good faith" editors, because I read that as an insinuation that Deepdish7 is not editing in good faith. And having looked at the edits made, there is nothing wrong with them, except for some POV fixing. Gutting other people's edits in their entirety because of some minor POV issues and because they can't be arsed simply making some minor changes, is disruptive. --Russavia Let's dialogue 20:33, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Editing from an opinionated position against NPOV is the only problem here, all else is a result of that. Please don't replace such policy violating content again. {even if you were going to correct it - correct it in your userspace and replace it then) - Thanks Off2riorob (talk) 20:38, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It's funny, because it seems that editors are trying to claim that Paul Klebnikov is not a reliable source for information. Can I ask, are you remotely familiar with the subject at hand here? --Russavia Let's dialogue 20:42, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I am familiar with encouraging discussion when content about living people is disputed, rather that stuffing int back into the article with the position that it is POV but we can correct that. - correct it first and then replace it please. Off2riorob (talk) 20:47, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It was actually your edits, Off2riorob, and Kolokol1's that are completely off POV. I've added detailed description of my edits aiming at achieving NPOV. Please join the discussion at the discussion pageDeepdish7 (talk) 06:14, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It is discussed on Boris Berezovsky page right now, whether editors would like admin to be changed. From your comments I understood, that you are not happy with admin blocking the page and your changes not going through. If yes then can you please come to discussion page and also say that you'd like admin to be changed, because now it is being discussed. Black Kite is happy to leave the page as far as editors other than me ask him to. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deepdish7 (talk • contribs) 06:20, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
