Template:User ru-no
The text of this template is translated as: "This user knows Russian but is reluctant to speak it". It is used only by Ukrainian users to show an anti-Russian attitude and is likely to stimulate conflicts between Russians and Ukrainians. I find it provocative and suppose that it violates the project's policies. --Cvz1 (talk) 16:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Try harder to not be provoked. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 20:40, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe that template is not provocative and nominator has problems with paranoia. Actually nomination itself is more provocative than template. P.S. should be placed in tag to avoid showing it in transclused pages. --DixonD (talk) 07:30, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't really have problems with paranoia, I enjoy it ;) --Cvz1 (talk) 12:28, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Keep. I'm a firm believer that it's best that our editors with some sort of bias have a means to display that bias up front. While I certainly think it's unfortunate that these nationalist conflicts exist, they don't show any sign of going away. It's far better that they announce their feelings in a userbox than to vandalize or push a POV on Russia related articles. Buddy431 (talk) 16:40, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
