Take no personal offence but such moves have to have a consensus via WP:RM, otherwise it will only create a useless edit war. Please follow the wiki guidelines if you wish to move the page and use the talk page of the article to discuss the reasons. --Kuban Cossack 19:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: question
Hi, I don't quite understand it. Maybe you mix together democracy and freedom? If you go to the street, you are free to do many things :) nobody cares. Some Americans stay here for quite a long and believe here is more freedom. Anyway there is no police regime here, like that in North Corea. Even in the time of SU it wasn't. Maybe there in Moscow, but Siberia was always more liberal place.

As for democracy, it hasn't yet exist in Russia. The West has delusions about the regime in 1990s, now they're gone, and that's all. There have been many political changes, but everything is much more complicated, not just democracy+freedom=on/off. --Ъыь (mailbox) 13:41, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

For me it's interesting if you feel ok to walk in the street in Isreal at this time. Does the war affect your everyday life? --Ъыь (mailbox) 14:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

hi. now the war has ended and we are feel better. anyway, i don't live in north israel but in the center so it didn't affect me anyway.

and for russia, i know you are not like north korea, but in TV and newspapers or internet i always read that now russia is more authoritarian, and that putin takes to himself more and more power, there is no free media (all main tv channels are in state control), putin re-nationalize companies, izvestia which is very important newspaper- the state bought 51% of it's shares. governors are now elected by president, and the first gay's demonstration in moscow was suppressed. by the way i'm doing my english project on the GULAG. Superzohar 18:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

one more thing translate me this please:
 * ордена Святого апостола Андрея Первозванного (order of St. Andrew the First Called)
 * ордена Святого Георгия I степени (order of St. George, 1st degree)
 * Орден «За заслуги перед Отечеством» (order "for the accomplishments for the homeland")
 * Орден Мужества (order of courage)
 * Орден «За военные заслуги» (order "for military accomplishments" or "for military merits")
 * Орден «За морские заслуги» (for naval accamplishments)
 * Орден Почёта (order of honour)
 * ЗАСЛУЖЕННЫЙ ВОЕННЫЙ  ШТУРМАН (this is order or medal?) (this is just a title and a prize. Honoured military navigator. Wow, see it for the 1st time)


 * За спасение погибавших (медаль) (medal for saving of dying [people])
 * Защитнику свободной России (медаль) (medal "to the defender of the free Russia")


 * Yes, the centralization of media and taking control over private TV worried us too. As for Izvestia and Sibneft nationalization, any intelligent Russian knows that they had been privatized in 1990-s for ridiculously little sums of money, and now in 2005-2006 they have been bought much overpriced. That's a financial machination.

Well, we care more about the corruption which is persisting and is a part of the political establishment. It's a mode of existence of the governing clan. --Ъыь (mailbox) 12:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

--Ъыь (mailbox) 12:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

you know, i'm very intersting in the russian military orders and medals. important to say- not red army but the russian federation orders and medals. they are on the principles of the red army's one but they did change no? for example order of lenin doesn't exist today. Орден Почёта wasn't in red army. i have one more question: the famous Victory Order does exist today? and Order of Glory? if it is so i allmost sure that i changed little because there is CCCP on the top of the star of the victory order.

can you please give me the full list of orders and medals just of the russian federation military not the soviet one, i want to know exactly what is left from the soviet period and which new orders and medals came in. Superzohar 12:58, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Hoeryong
Hi Superzohar, Thanks for your interest in Hoeryong. I don't have much time to work on it at the moment. However, there are some good articles in the references section of Hoeryong concentration camp. I added one to a description by a former guard, Ahn Myong Chol, that you may find useful. As for the city itself, there's not that much info available unfortunately. The Hoeryong article has links to Korean encyclopedias, which are about the only real source I know of, although I don't know where their information comes from or how old it is. You might try asking at WikiProject_Korea as there are several Korean speakers there who could help with the translation. --Reuben 23:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

NK / Russia border
The link is on border towns, but it's in Japanese, so I can only pick out bits and pieces. It seems to describe Ussuriysk, Zarubino, Slavyanka, Posyet, and Khasan. You can also read about a battle there in Battle of Khasan. "Tumangan" is the Russian transliteration Туманган of 두만강, Tuman-gang, i.e. the Tumen River. The railroad bridge between Russia and North Korea runs between Khasan and the Tumangang Workers' District, Sonbong County, Rason Directly Governed City. In the Khasan article you can find map coordinates that will help you get a Google map of the area, and you can see the railroad depot in Tumangang. See also the Tumen River Area Development Project, the goal of which seems to be to get more direct access to the sea for Chinese export goods. It's a mystery to me how Mongolia comes into it. Also see some articles about the proposed rail link between Russia and South Korea through North Korea:,. It seems to at a perpetual standstill, but the idea's still around. --Reuben 01:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, Tumangang Workers' District is right at the border, on the other side of the rail bridge. I'm not sure if it's correct to call it a "town" or not, since it's technically part of a city; but from the satellite image it does look like a town.  There appear to be several clusters of houses with a very regular, rectilinear pattern right next to the depot, and farther away there are some more scattered villages near the fields.  I'm not really qualified to interpret satellite images beyond that level of sophistication. :-)  Here's an interesting article with some background: .  --Reuben 18:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Prime Ministers
I reverted your changes to the Russian republics' infoboxes. Per Constitutions of Chechnya and Dagestan, the premier post in both republics is called "Chairman of the Government", not "Prime Minister".

License tagging for Image:Arvids Pelse.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Arvids Pelse.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

move to History of the People's Republic of Czechoslovakia
Hi, was there a discussion about this somewhere and I missed it, or did you move it unilaterally? It seems problematic for a few reasons. First, I believe the official name of the country was the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Second, that name only came into effect in 1960. From 45 to 59, it was just the Czechoslovak Republic. - TheMightyQuill 17:36, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Arvids_Pelse.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Arvids_Pelse.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC).

Onsong town
Hello. Can you help me find a picture of Onsong town?? Second question, which city is lies on the chinese side of the river, in front of Onsong town? thank you Superzohar Talk 14:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Old photo of Suhangru, pavilion in Jongseong Workers' District
 * Images of Namyang Myon from across the Tumen River
 * Tumen City is across the Tumen River from Namyang Workers' District, Onsong County
 * More pictures: --Reuben 15:41, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The traditional translations for Korean administrative districts don't always match up very well with what those same terms mean in other contexts. Onsong is a kun / "county," meaning a rather large region containing both urban and very rural parts (still much smaller than a Province).  Within Onsong kun is Onsong ŭp / "town," an urban center where the administrative offices are.  If you bought a bus ticket for "Onsong," that's where it would take you.  Namyang is a rodong jagu / "workers' district."  These don't have any equivalent in South Korea, and my impression (could be wrong!) is that they are based around a single enterprise or facility.  According to this map of Onsong County], Namyang is directly on the Tumen River, has a railroad station, and sits at the point where a rail line from China crosses the river to join the North Korean line.  It could well be that the workers' district is there for the train station and customs.  You can find out a bit more in Administrative divisions of North Korea.  I didn't find any pictures of Onsong-ŭp.  --Reuben 19:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the explanation. Is this article about Onsong-up? Superzohar [[Image:Red star.svg|13px]] Talk 07:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The first pic is from Namyang, in Onsong-kun. However, the article seems to be about propaganda signs you can see from the Chinese border, and doesn't specifically discuss Onsong.  By the way, I only have a very basic understanding of Korean.  I'm quite happy to help with things I can understand, though.  --Reuben 03:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Communist funerals
Hi, I noticed your edits detailing the funeral arrangements for a number of leading communists. None of this material is sourced, and may have to be removed. I find it bizarre that the following line is repeated in a the Yuri Andropov, Leonid Brezhnev, and Mikhail Suslov: "...'s coffin was lowered into the ground as foghorns blared, joining with sirens, wheezing factory whistles and rolling gunfire in a mournful cacophony. When the noisy tribute had ended, an eerie silence hung for five minutes over Red Square - and the nation" will you be adding this to all such articles?

Broadcasting in East Germany
Hi Superzohar!

You've twice moved the article about broadcasting in East Germany to a title that doesn't reflect its contents.

The article is about broadcasting - television and radio. You are moving it to "communications" - which would, in English, include post, telephones, telegrams and so forth - which the article does not address.

Please don't move it again without getting a consensus, using the requested moves system. Thanks very much! ➔ REDVEЯS would like to show you some puppies 10:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Military police corps
Hi, thanks for your edit to the article Military Police Corps (Israel). However, you were not correct to change the MP base in the kirya, called MP General Staff (מ"צ מטכ"ל) to Chief Military Police Officer Headquarters (מקמצ"ר). I'll add a small clarification to the article. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 19:16, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

About pictures of Bahad 13 - I don't have a good picture of the main yard (רחבת מסדרים), which would be somewhat representative of the base. Other pictures are probably not relevant and superfluous, and moreover, may compromise the security of the base. This is for example why I removed the background from the zinzana picture. If I visit Bahad 13 again with a camera, I may take a neutral picture which would also be relevant to Wikipedia. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 19:38, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Sandberg Prize & Mordecai Sandberg
Hi Superzohar, I have some Israel-related questions that you might know the answers to. For whom is the Sandberg Prize named? Is it Mordecai Sandberg? I could not find any information about this in English. If it's named for him, that should be added to the article with a good reference (one in Hebrew would be OK if it's not documented anywhere in English). Also, since he lived in Israel for a significant part of his life, the Hebrew spelling of his name would be welcome. Thanks. --Reuben (talk) 20:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding the Hebrew spelling. But what's the source?  Are there articles about him in Hebrew that spell his name this way?  Or is it just your own transliteration?  (In that case we should be careful).  Is he known at all in Israel?  Thanks.  --Reuben (talk) 20:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Pelše
I haven't seen mention of Pelše's illness, nor do I remember the Concise Latvian SSR Encyclopedia mentioning anything, but I'll take a look through some Latvian references, might turn up something online. —PētersV (talk) 17:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Googling in Latvian doesn't turn up a whole lot on Pelše, and just about nothing on his personal life. That said, I did find these tidbits of interest:
 * from
 * Berklavs' interview fragment
 * Both Kalnbērziņš and Pelše apparently denounced their first (I would assume Latvian, but can't confirm) wives, who were sentenced in Russia, and married a second time to Russian wives.
 * Some of Pelše's authority came from family ties, Suslov's wife was a relative of Pelše. Suslov was always Second Secretary and for many years was the ideological and political authority in the LSSR. (After Stalin's death, even as First Secretries changed, Suslov remained a constant.)
 * from
 * The purge of nationalists of 1959 was conducted by Pelše (not by Khrushchev from Moscow). —PētersV (talk) 19:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Barvikha
Thanks! There's lots more information out there, even in the sources that are already cited, so I think it would be cool to make this a Good Article. You are of course very welcome to join in. The one weak spot is photos. The picture of the train platform may be the only free-license photo of Barvikha out there, and even if somebody living in Moscow were willing to make the trip, I don't think it's possible to simply walk into the sanatorium and start taking pictures. That's too bad, since it's the work of a famous architect. What we can do is work the bare facts into a more smooth-flowing text, and add something about the services provided at the sanatorium. And probably add some more info about the current development, as there are likely to be more news stories out there about it. --Reuben (talk) 18:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Are you asking about the youth movement or its reorganization in particular? There's already a decent article on the movement, but no, I don't know anything about its reorganization.

Subdivisions of Russia
Please do not move such high-profile articles without at least first trying to announce your intentions on the talk page.

 * Why municipal divisions, federal districts and economic regions are not administrative? Superzohar [[Image:Red star.svg|13px]] Talk 15:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and I also forgot the most important part&mdash;federal subjects, which, unlike the administrative entities of the RSFSR, are constituent members of the Federation and are by no means "administrative" (although, of course, the whole "vertical of power" concept mocks that idea at the root). "Administrative" divisions are those included in the administrative-territorial structure of the federal subjects.  As you see, neither municipal divisions, nor federal districts, nor economic regions fall under that definition.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Khasan & rail link
Hi Superzohar! Here's my understanding about the rail link. The railroad on the NK side and the railroad on the Russian side have different gauges, so there's a "break-of-gauge" at Khasan. That means you can't just send a train over, you have to either offload everything and put it on a different train, or it might be possible to adjust the same train cars to use a different gauge(?). I didn't find any clear details on what's actually done in this case. The line on the NK side is also not a very major line. I think the project people are always talking about is to have a major line straight through without a break-of-gauge, and with considerable improvements on the NK side (and maybe the Russian side too). There was a 2006 date set, but I haven't heard of any progress. It's not too surprising if announcements related to international projects with North Korea turn out to be over-optimistic, or get shelved entirely. Have you found any more recent news articles about it? Personally, I would jump at the chance to go from South Korea through North Korea and through Russia by train. --Reuben (talk) 17:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

NK+Russia economic ties
Hi SuperZohar. Nice work. Unfortunately, I can't put the time or focus into this now to do any research or check out the details. I'll just be making a few random edits here and there for a while. Cheers. --Reuben (talk) 02:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Mansudae Art Studio
A tag has been placed on Mansudae Art Studio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you need it for Wikipedia, I suggest getting the relevant volume of the IDF encyclopedia, a more professional reference work that includes about 50% of the same information. If you want it for personal uses, tell me what parts you are interested in and it shouldn't be a problem to convey these parts to you.

File source problem with File:Order of the National Flag ribbon.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Order of the National Flag ribbon.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:32, 14 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 16:32, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Gillingham photos
Sure: I can take my camera for a walk as soon as we get a bit of decent light. I don't have anything extra on file. You mentioned Municipal buildings- what else do you need- what point are you wanting make. Pretty pretty- brutilist architecture- council neglect- buds of economic recovery ? --ClemRutter (talk) 14:34, 27 February 2010 (UTC) Google  Clem Rutter of Rochester, Kent. to find my website, and email and phone numbers are easy to find.--ClemRutter (talk) 17:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Plesetsky District
Hi, Superzohar! I have answered your questions on my talk page, but also wanted to recommend you to not create the detailed lists of the administrative (or municipal) divisions. The reason for that is that I am currently working on a database which, when done, will allow creating such lists on the fly with just a few clicks. Creating detailed lists manually simply takes too much valuable time and is too prone to errors, not to mention that every single entry needs to be (again, manually) checked for duplicate names in order to link properly.

But, if you are planning to create articles for every entry in those detailed lists, that's a different matter entirely! Please let me know if you have questions or if there's anything else I can help with, and keep up the good work.
