Niguliste kirik
Do you have plans to expand St. Nicholas' Church, Tallinn? And if no, will you mind if I expand it somewhat - if I remember correctly then I have quite nice photos of the inside of church. et:Tallinna Niguliste kirik has some material and I do believe I have some booklets about the church as well (and yes, I do know about WP:OWN, but I think it is better to ask, then to bother you when you are planning to expand the article yourself). -- Sander Säde  07:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead and no need to ask such things in the future. It's more important to expand the articles instead of who exactly is doing it, and your additions are always appreciated. --Termer 15:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you - although I am unsure when I can edit the article. I have two lovely 16-hours workdays coming - projects running late, as usual. -- Sander Säde  17:51, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Found the time to edit the article - also nominated to WP:DYK: . Now, time to have my well-deserved beer. -- Sander Säde  17:57, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Good job!--Termer 18:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the hoax tag you placed on this, as you gave no reason, & I can see none for it. Johnbod 19:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Closing of Estonian pirates move proposal
Hi Termer, I tried to close the debate following your suggestion, but Irpen seems to have other ideas. Martintg 23:58, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea what this guy is after, I'd let it go, give it some rest and return to this once the dust has settled. In case any baseless accusations are raised anywhere against you again, please let me know. The whole thing up there at Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard there is so far out that...I don't know what to think of it. In any case, since you opened the requested move and its not relevant any more its should be closed by you. It shouldn't be anybody else's business if you withdraw your request.--Termer 00:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Apollo 11 Goodwill Messages, was selected for DYK!

Pointless nationalities
I agree that often alternate spellings provide additional information. They should be used if 1) they are used in English or 2) the subject used it himself. Neither of this applies to the Lithuanian spelling in Józef Piłsudski's article.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 05:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Like I said, not my business, just a suggestion.--Termer 05:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Encarta "quote"
"The communist ideal was democracy and equality" is not what is written in the Encarta article, it's what Dwarf Kirlston said, I don't know why he put it in quotation marks.--Miyokan 06:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Kuperjanov's Partisan Battalion
Hi FayssalF, just noticed that you had labeled or categorized the Kuperjanov's Partisan Battalion Military history WikiProject |Russian=yes. The thing is the Battalion was not Russian but in fact fought against Russia during the Estonian War of Independence and the guys were even not Slavic but Finnic. I might be wrong but I think it was you who added the same category |Russian=yes to another Estonia related article. The thing was I replaced it with -Estonian or Estonia but then someone commented that there is no such a task force on WP. So, could you help me out setting up such a task force as I'd be cladly part of it. I'm not that familiar with exact procedure therefore any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks --Termer 20:46, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Termer. Creating a new Baltic task force would be a good idea. I've just started a discussion here. The thing is that in order to create a task force, we need enough interested people to work on. I hope there would be enough. Please participate at the thread linked above. Thanks. -- FayssalF  -  Wiki me up®  16:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Mothander DYK
The article is improving and I think I have learnt something. I wrote this too


 * ...that Major Carl Mothander, the leader of Swedish volunteers in the Estonian War of Independence, later wrote books on Estonian politics that were banned in Finland? by Termer

OK? (or should it say book?) Victuallers 09:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Victuallers! The one that was banned and was about the politics was his first book. another one was about Estonian Swedes and their language and I don't think it was banned anywhere.--Termer 10:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Estonian govt in exile
Thanks for restoring some of the information that I lost during the rewrite! Alas, apparently not a quiet corner anywhere. PētersV (talk) 21:35, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
