Genrikh Novozhilov
Hi, I just created a page for the aircraft designer Genrikh Novozhilov, who recently died. It's pretty basic as I could only find a few English sources and I don't know Russian. It'd be great if you could expand it with Russian sources. Only if you're interested, of course. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 07:21, 6 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the suggestion, and the barnstar! Novozhilov is an interesting subject, I've fleshed it out a bit from a few sources - quite a lot of obituaries about in the Russian press, and interesting that he will apparently be buried today. Feel free to take out anything you think is a bit too extraneous, or to rewrite as you see fit! Spokoyni (talk) 01:07, 7 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Wow that was awesome. I don't know how you could write so much quality content on such short notice. You're the most efficient writer I've seen on Wikipedia! -Zanhe (talk) 05:08, 7 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Update: I've nominated the article for DYK, see Template:Did you know nominations/Genrikh Novozhilov. Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 20:32, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

For me it's not unuseful. It's just of complicated usefulness. Sometimes it can be really helpful. Other times it's not, which means it needs to be carefully assessed. I find it worth checking, but YMMV. :) --valereee (talk) 17:28, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * You are quite right of course, and I do keep tabs on it, sorry I didn't mean to come across as dismissive, apologies if I did so. I have few issues with its whole ethos though, and try not to feed into the attitude behind it. Spokoyni (talk) 17:45, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , agree on ethos. The information would go over better if the attitude wasn't so clearly hostile toward the entire concept. Creating something from scratch is so much more difficult than criticizing a finished product. Critique is a gift, but more so if at heart the critic seems to appreciate how hard it is to create. --valereee (talk) 18:39, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Professor Palkim?
Hi Spokoyni, I recently wrote an article about the Chinese scientist Tang Dingyuan, and a source mentions his interaction with a Soviet scientist Professor Palkim, see here. The book says Palkim was an academician and deputy director of the Soviet Union Academy of Sciences, but I couldn't find any information about him online and suspect the name is misspelled. Do you know of any important Soviet scientist with a similar name? Thanks! -Zanhe (talk) 19:40, 11 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Interesting! I'm afraid its a long way from my expertise so I'm not sure I would be the best to help on this, but I've had a look around. First thing, you're almost certainly right, I don't say that it does not exist, but Palkim would be unusual to say the least. I thought perhaps Palkin, which certainly does exist. But though there are a few scientists of that name, none fit your one. There are other similar names, Galkin, Malkin, etc, but again, no obvious one that could be this one from the searching I've done. Not that this can be said to be exhaustive, and there may be sources I'm just not aware of. The problem is, its hard to know what name to search for without knowing what has been mispelled. It doesn't look likely that he was "deputy director" of the Academy of Sciences as someone with that level would certainly appear in sources. But it's complicated by the fact that the Academy of Sciences had/has various regional branches and filials, and is also divided by department, etc. He might have been part of the administration of one of these faculties or subgroups rather than the overarching body. It may also be that he was involved in one of the regional Soviet Academies of Sciences rather than the USSR one, and that the source has made an error there as well. Sorry not to have better results! If you find any more to go on, I would be interested to hear. Spokoyni (talk) 23:28, 11 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for the explanation! I've commented out his name from the article for now, until more info can be found (hopefully). Cheers, -Zanhe (talk) 00:17, 12 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Spokoyni, I think I've finally solved the mystery of Professor Palkim! It's almost certainly a mistransliteration of Ivan Bardin's last name, which, when transcribed into Chinese, sounds like Parjin/Palkin. And Bardin was a VP of the USSR Academy of Sciences and visited China frequently in the 1950s. -Zanhe (talk) 20:58, 10 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Brilliant, well done! I'd never have thought of that myself, that's the advantage of your Chinese knowledge. I think you are almost certainly correct, and I'm glad you got to the bottom of this :) Incidentally, I have been meaning to thank you for your kind words on the recent RD nomination. Much needed antidote to an unfortunate attitude sometimes here - not in English = not notable. I think with your excellent and comprehensive Chinese works (now there's a language I wouldn't know where to begin with) you definitely prove this false. Incidentally, a recent article of mine, Aleksandr Fedotenkov, intersects one of yours, Wang Hai (admiral). The exercises it talks about where the second round that year, I think, with the earlier set taking place with the Chinese element commanded by Vice-Admiral Du Jincheng. Do you know anything about him, and have I got the name right? It is a transliteration from the Russian, so it might not have rendered quite right. Is there an article on the Chinese wiki? Spokoyni (talk) 21:14, 10 September 2019 (UTC)


 * The admiral's name is Du Jingchen, which I wrote about the same time as Wang Hai. And thanks for creating Fedotenkov's article! I searched him up when writing Wang Hai a few years ago, but couldn't find much information about him in English. -Zanhe (talk) 21:32, 10 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Splendid, he was there all the time! Thanks very much! Spokoyni (talk) 21:35, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Missing Russian biographies
Hi! I've noticed that you've written a lot of the Russian history biographies that I've been checking lately (just some minor touch-ups, categorization and date formatting, etc). I have been maintaining a long list of missing Russian biographies on English Wikipedia and was hoping for some assistance tackling the incredibly long list (maybe you wanna join the Soviet Aviation Task Force too? Soviet aviation biographies are our specialty there.) Think you can at least write the articles for Pyotr Buiko (ru), Ivan Klochkov (ru) , Ivan Dobrobabin (ru) , Mikhail Grabsky (ru) ,  Pyotr Noritsyn (ru) , Feofosy Ganus (ru) , Tuleugali Abdybekov (ru) , and Anvar Gataullin (ru) ? I can take care of the "big names" on the list like the Korean war pilots since I have a bunch of recent books that are crucial sources for some of them. I hope we can work together in the future to fix the deficit on Soviet and Russian biographies.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 16:21, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Thai ambassadors
Hi. Thanks for your interest in creating articles about Thai diplomats, but as with Vimon Kidchob, I'm finding extreme difficulty in locating any in-depth independent sources about Saroj Thanasunti (or Cholchineepan Chiranond, apart from the Scandasia website). It might not be worthwhile trying to populate those categories. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:31, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I was surprised Vimon Kidchob was deleted. I do work in the areas of international diplomacy and foreign relations, though not Thailand specifically, where POLITICIAN is generally held to apply. "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels". Ambassadors are the highest level of diplomatic representation between countries, and much as politicians who sit in regional legislatures and sports people who play for the top league in their country, would seem to qualify. Spokoyni (talk) 09:18, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * In Thailand at least, I don't think anyone would think of ambassadors as comparable to MPs. Ambassadors are career civil servants, and are appointed without any public scrutiny; in-depth coverage of them personally thus don't generally exist. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:53, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

re:List of ambassadors of Russia to the Philippines article
I appreciate that you revived the article in question after it was deleted a few days ago due to some unfortunate circumstance. I'd like to know how were you able to do so that I can proceed doing the same with other related articles. -Ian Lopez @ 14:26, 28 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Ah, I used the sources I used for many of the Russian ambassadors lists articles I work on, and the basic model I've developed for them. I see your interest is in recreating the deleted 'List of ambassdors of x to the Philippines' pages. I wouldn't be able to be of much help I'm afraid. My advice would be to take a model for each country, e.g. List of ambassadors of the United States to China, and use it as the basis for a List of ambassadors of the United States to the Philippines article. There will be sources like the state department and embassy pages used on the China article that will have specific equivalents for the Philippines that you can probably use for sources. I see you've approached Blablubbs as well. If they will provide the references used in the articles before deletion, then I'm sure that will give you a starting point. Best of luck.

 * You're very welcome, and really, it's just a little cosmetic polishing and fixing up. You're doing the meat of the work and thank you for developing this underrepresented area. Keep up the good work, and feel free to ask if there's anything I can help with! Spokoyni (talk) 06:14, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I hope I am not annoying you by notifications from giving attribution to you when I create lists based on the above categories.

You can safely ignore the notifications, but if you are willing to help with replacing the nominated categories with lists, that would be very welcome! – Fayenatic  L ondon 10:42, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I did not get round to listing all the categories before they were deleted. Here is a link to some that were missed, in case you would like to list them. I don't think I will do any more on these – let me know if you would do so, and would like me to trace more that were missed like these. – Fayenatic  L ondon 20:04, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
