The history of SochieditDear Ghirlandajo, Thank you for your modifications, but please be informed that you are biased against the real people of Sochi and Circassia and i can't believe a real editor and researcher in Wikipedia can remove the truth not because he is not convinced but because the easiest way to him is to remove instead of search for resources , and i can't understand that you removed my contribution by giving a weak reason!!! What do you mean UNPO.org is not reliable source ???? Please be informed that UNPO stand for Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization not a shop for doing propogandas. Best Regards, ShapsougSochi1864 Portrait of Anna Yekaterina Countess Bestuzheva-Ryumina (1693-1761)editDear Ghirlandajo, With respect to a biographical study concerning the celebrated adventurer Friedrich Freiherr von der Trenck I am looking for a portrait of Countess Bestuzheva-Ryumina, the wife of chancellor A. P. Bestuzhev-Riumin. Unfortunately, though a German lady, it seems that there is no portrait of her known in Germany. Can you help? I am looking to hear from you. If possible, can you send me your answer as eMail to andreas_pechtl@hotmail.com ? Yours sincerely, Andreas Pechtl, 7 December 2009 Project Ukraineeditгуд найт! I saw you wrote some excellent new article about Ukraine! Thanks for that! Would you like to join our project Ukraine (click on advert to learn more). We could really need some new articles about the subjects you wrote your last Ukrainian articles about (there are lots of castles there!)! — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 21:55, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Medieval emporia: Dierkow and BardyeditI noticed you removed Dierkow and Bardy from the emporia template. I think they should be re-added. *About Dierkow, there is not much known yet, but this does not automatically make it unimportant or tiny (though there is a possiblity).
If you still think it is a bad idea to put them back in, let me know. Regards Skäpperöd (talk) 11:55, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I didn't know that the Cossacks liked raspberries :) More Lviv substubs will be added as soon as I have free time in the Russian Wikipedia. Best, Ghirla-трёп- 21:47, 5 March 2009 (UTC) Question about imageeditHi there. I'm doing some work on tagging featured pictures on the English Wikipedia. Coming across this image, I found that you added a {{NoCommons}} tag. This was back in 2006, and the current preference is to put everything on Commons. Do you have a problem with me asking for this image to be deleted from WP or do you still have a pressing reason? Thanks! ~ ωαdεstεr16♣kiss mei'm Irish♣ 04:49, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

VorotynskeditHi, me again. I've got another question for you, if you don't mind. In the Vorotynsk article, there is a mention of the village of Spas-on-the-Oka. I was unable to find anything about this village. I also did not quite understand the "which now marks the spot" part—currently, the village (selo) of Vorotynsk is located on the location of the ancient town, and there is a larger (and newer) settlement (posyolok) of Vorotynsk not too far away from it. There is (and, to the best of my knowledge, was) no populated place called "Спас-на-Оке" anywhere in the vicinity. Could you, please, clarify? Where exactly is Savior Vorotynsk Monastery located, do you know? Same goes for New and Old Vorotynsk villages—are these in reference to the selo and posyolok? Thanks again!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:34, March 6, 2009 (UTC)

KNewman (talk) 08:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC) Beregovaya compressor stationeditHi, Ghirla. Could you help with the exact location of the Beregovaya compressor station? Some sources says that it is located in Arkhipo-Osipovka, and most of the sources says that at Dzhubga, e.g. this map of gas pipelines. By my understanding it is located in west from Dzhubga and in east from Arkhipo-Osipovka, and definitely there is only one compressor station, not two. Do you knew any reliable source about the location? Beagel (talk) 07:19, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Adjectives in Extreme North (Russia)editHi Ghirlandajo, I'm not overly concerned about this, but I saw your change to Extreme North (Russia), and was wondering if the adjectives are actually particularly useful; they're not exactly quantifiable. Would it not be more useful (and Encyclopedic) to simply detail the aspects which you're attempting to describe via adjectives?

Jezhotwells (talk) 19:13, 21 June 2009 (UTC) Askold and DireditFringe theory? What are talking about? The whole Russian history is the fringe theory. Why are parimary chronicles lay the base of Russian history? Book of Veles is being denied by the Russian church. Of course, because that church primary mission to destroy our history, the Slavic history. The primary chronicles were written by that church to come up with the new history. Why is that there are no prior historical records exist until those chronicles? Are we to believe that our ancestors were that stupid that they left us no historical records? Or, maybe, were they eliminated? I believe so. Book of Veles exists and it is the only surviving record of our ancient history. Why do we want to deny it? What would be the reason to come up with what the church believes to be not true? Do not forget what was happening at the times when the Rus was converted into Christianity. All Slavic religion was eradicated. Why? Because they did not know how to believe? :) What a crack! No wonder that the church now wants to get rid of Book of Veles. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 19:26, 3 July 2009 (UTC) I have conducted a review of this article which has a large number of issues which need attention. I have delisted it.

Stalinist voluntarismeditIn the article on the Rybinsk Reservoir there is a line which appears to date from an edit you made in 2005: As the time goes by, however, it has been increasingly viewed as a typical sample of Stalinist voluntarism. Shortly after you linked Stalinist to Joseph Stalin, but neither on that page nor on Stalinism can I find references to "voluntarism". Voluntarism itself is a disambiguation page. The net result is that I'm not sure what the reservoir is supposed to be an example of. Can you clarify? 79.144.205.168 (talk) 18:08, 11 January 2010 (UTC) Could you please look at this?

I noted in past edits of the Aleksey Fyodorov page you favor this as the more accepted spelling of his surname, yet the page text uses "Alexei" throughout. Wouldn't consistency be appropriate?

I need to know this for the list of key words I maintain for our archives. What do you advise? -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 06:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
You are now a Revieweredit Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010. Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

But it would be difficult: the article has a section of "Salons outside of France", where the nations outside of France are given a summary - such as the first salons, the most notable salon-holders and a few words about the importance and characteristics given to the phenomena in each country. There, of course, Russia should be included as well. To give Russia its own section would, therefore, make it necessary to give each nation its own section. France is already treated specially, but that is of course because it is the original country of the phenomena. My suggestion is therefore, that Russia is either included in the "Salons outside of France"-section, or, if it is given its own section, that each nation mentioned in the "Salons outside of France"-section is given its own chapter under this title, where Russia, of course, is one. Individual Salon-holders al deserve their own articles. Good luck! --Aciram (talk) 12:55, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

I am, certainly, not that. The information about the Vladimir Principality is too vague. There is really no historical development on how it actually appeared and why until Yuri Dolgoruki. There is also no clear mentioning that Andrei Bogolyubsky changed the Vladimir Principality into the Grand Principality. Little or no information is on the conflicts that took place in the Northeastern Rus. The information that I posted is drawn from other articles and mostly based on the Russian version as well.

The best name for this article is already under discussion at Talk:Muhajir_(Caucasus)#Rename_to_Circassian_Genocide. It helps no-one if a number of different editors move it back and forth without agreement beforehand. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:07, 24 October 2010 (UTC) I have read that there was a bodyguard or some such institution in medieval Russia that was composed of very tall, young men, carrying an axe. They supposedly wore white, and the appearance of their height was increased by wearing tall hats. One often sees them in operatic and theatrical productions from time to time. Were these the Rynda, or was there also some other group that fits this description? The English article is paltry and the Russian article was not much help. Are you familiar with the subject at all?

Can you check if is the correct date?; the successor Qun Quran already deceased in 1280 but reigned 1251-1280, while Orda reigned 1226 (in fact not before 1227 and surely from 1229) to 1251.

You might want to check out Lev Berg, although you may already have it on your watchlist. I'm not entirely happy with how things are proceeding, although I think they will get sorted out. See User talk:Liveintheforests#Leo S. Berg for some of the background. I am assuming that Joe will agree with me and make sure some of the material recently removed is restored. Assuming that happens, I have some question about the material which I believe you added. You added the sentence:
I wonder if "Foundations of Climatology" is a typo. There is such a work, but by someone else. Berg wrote "Principles of climatology", and I'm wondering if you meant to say that. I don't know who added the list of works, but one is "Principles of climatology" (1926). However, this search suggests it was 1938, not 1926. Do you concur? BTW, 175K edits? Quite impressive.

Anyone is free to move this discussion to a more appropriate place. My question is this: is it me who is suffering from polofobia, or does Wikipedia have some kind of a pro-Polish bias? I started off studying the list of largest domes of its time. On the list I see that Jahrhunderthalle was built in Wrocław, Poland in by "Deutsches Reich Inc." or whatever. Studying the article Wrocław I learn that the town has perpetually been Polish from times immemorial. After some work on File:Wrocław Collage.png I end up reading the article on Lwów. The second sentence of the article tells me that Poles are (or were) main ethnicity of the city. Further down I understand that a terrible wrong was done to Poland in 1991 when Lwów was not returned to Polish sovereignty after the end of the second Soviet occupation. To sum up, Wrocław is totally dismissive of the existence of Breslau, while Lviv reads like a irredentist rant. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 16:26, 24 November 2011 (UTC) ArthaniyaeditЧто значит, не используется, а ссылки?

sennaya squareeditHi Ghidlandajo, could you please let me know why you replaced the photo that I put in the Sennaya Square page? The photo you put was taken from the Russian version, but it's not a good photo at all, because it's at night, so you can't see anything, and you can't distinguish any recognisable features of Sennaya Square. Thanks. Azylber (talk) 10:02, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi Ghirlandajo, thank you for reply. I understand your point of view, and I am thankful for you opinion, specially because you have a lot of experience, and I'm very new at editing wikipedia articles. In my opinion, the night photo taken from the Russian article is not good, for the following 4 reasons: 1) it's at night 2) you can't see anything 3) you can't recognise sennaya square in it 4) it contains things that are wrong, such as the column seen at the back, which doesn't exist anymore Also in my opinion, the photo that I put is better because: 1) it doesn't have any of the problems with the other photo 2) everybody can recognise sennaya ploshchad from this photo For these reasons, I understand that the photo that I put is not 100% ideal, but I think it's better than the night photo from the Russian article. But like I said, you are a very important wikipedia editor, so if in your opinion it's better to have that night photo, I trust your opinion. Thanks, Azylber (talk) 14:02, 28 December 2011 (UTC) Commons link in the infoboxeditHi, Ghirla. Could you please clarify what you meant by this comment?

Dammit, Andrey, I spent a long time yesterday fixing all the links to Tsarevich Dmitry Ivanovich of Russia (born 1582), and now you've moved it again. I don't agree with moving it to that name (although I do see that ruwiki has it under that).

Giano, I know nothing about Islamic art. For older writers, "Moorish" was an umbrella term for all Islamic architectural influences, don't you think? This building in Moscow is routinely described as Moorish Revival, for instance, although its models are Portuguese. I don't have any sources on the Crimean palaces at hand. A quick look at the Google Books found four Russian-language sources highlighting the Jama Masjid as the main inspiration for the southern facade. Some authors of guidebooks, unversed in the mysteries of architecture, repeat (in passim) that, apart from the Delhi mosque, Blore was inspired by "the palace of Muhammad I and Carlos I in Alhambra". They probably found this in some old book and so repeat without thinking. Never mind. The Lions' Terrace is not exactly the Court of the Lions. --Ghirla-трёп- 17:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

I understand that you reverted my addition of a [citation needed] tag. I did not mean to confuse or offend you. On the contrary, I was confused by the claim that it was "probably" the highest waterfall in Russia, and thought the source cited referred to the Talnikovy Waterfall (I was mistaken). Another thing I noticed about the article is that most of the links to other geographical features in that area are red links.

I have a list, found it by using Google Translate, but as you may understand, the translation services falters from time to time very seriously, which makes it all but impossible in certain cases to know who is actually who. I'm not saying you should do this, but do you know anyone on Wikipedia interested in making such a list?

This image is the appropriate image for the article Kievan Rus', was fully referenced, and did not need to be deleted. In addition, you also made some changes which re-order Russia to appear before Ukraine in multiple places in the article. This would be strange to users, as Kiev is in Ukraine and not Russia. Although Muscovy subsequently renamed itself to Russia in the 18th century in order to adopt the history of Kievan Rus', and Ukraine later renamed itself from Ruthenia to Ukraine, Russia should not appear before Ukraine simply because the current name of Muscovy is similar to Rus', especially given the circumstances of the name change.

The media file you uploaded as File:Molev.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image. It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer. Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

I attempted to create the article, and this is the best I could come up with. (I am afraid it is still better than the Russian article).

Replaceable fair use File:Igor Kirillov archive.jpgedit Thanks for uploading File:Igor Kirillov archive.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject). If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:35, 15 April 2018 (UTC) Nomination for merging of Template:Pontic coloniesedit

Eugene PickeditGood to see your signature on the ref desk, reminds me to look at the Russian WP articles for sources. I ran across Eugene Pick's name the other day and remembered i was supposed to write an article. Working on it, but you might say i'm a slow writer. If you've got time could you comment at Talk:Chuchuna#Translation or build from scratch? That put Ilya Samuilovich Gurvich ru:Гурвич, Илья Самуилович on the todo list also.

Просто если сейчас загляну в русскую Википедию, то опять надолго выйду из строя. Да и не планирую я туда полноценно возвращаться без очистки логов.

First, не понимаю по-русский (the only Russian sentence I learned as a child.) I read that you have absented yourself from the English Wikipedia, but I'm hoping you might still answer a question. Typo team/moss found an unexpected word in the article A Sportsman's Sketches, a page that you have modified in the past. The section in question reads:
The word in blue is unclear. The most similar word would be "agreement", but I wondered about "arrangement", or even "adaptation". Can you help clarify this? Thanks. - Jkgree (talk) 22:17, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
