Thank you note
Hi, Vasilij! You accidentally thanked Ghirla on the actual template page instead of here. I moved your note to your user talk page&mdash;don't worry, it was easily fixable. Please accept my welcome greetings as well.&mdash;Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 17:03, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you as well, Ёжики! Vasilij 18:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Avvakum - executed for heresy?
Stating that a person was executed for heresy is mostly a rather controversial thing to do. Some may think the things a person (in this case Avvakum) stands for are a heresy, some others may not. Who has got the unquestionable authority to decide on what is a heresy and what isn't? It's obvious that one is dealing with a very delicate matter.

I for one am opposed to categories having anything to do with heresies, because one is bound to make subjective and arguable evaluations with which others are bound to disagree. In fact, I think that such categories are irrelevant. Vasilij 17:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Saint Ambrosii of Belaya Krinitsa
I must apologise for hastily tagging the Introduction section of Saint Ambrosii of Belaya Krinitsa to be merged into the Old Believers article, and have explained my previous and revised positions at the talk page – Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 15:16, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for message. No need to apologize! Vasilij (talk) 18:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Vasilij and all other contributors … may thanks, a remarkable effort. One query relating to a potentially critical contradiction. Under the heading; “Main alterations introduced by Patriarch Nikon” – ‘Sign of the cross’, you have written under the heading; ‘Old Practice’, “Two fingers, pointer finger straight, middle finger bent.” There can be no misunderstanding what that says. ‘Middle finger is bent’ Under the heading; “Differences between the Old Believers and post-Nikonian Russian Orthodoxy” (First section) it says; “Old Believers use two fingers while making the Sign of the Cross (two fingers straightened, three folded). Thus you now included another variation of doing the sign of the cross? Which one is correct? Middle finger is ‘bent’ OR ‘straight’, which one is correct? I do not know but I want to know. Regardless, I loved this reading. Dia Genitrix — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dia Genitrix (talk • contribs) 14:40, 13 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I understand what you mean and I trust I've fixed it. Regards, Vasilij (talk) 18:41, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Vasilij. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vasilij~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:30, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
