Target Illustration relevant?

I know the article is only about a likely myth, but what is the relevance of the air-rifle target illustration? Centrepull (talk) 09:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MilHist Assessment

I have assessed fifty MilHist articles today. This is by far the weirdest. Congratulations. Hawkeye7 (talk) 04:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sniper Wolf?

She's Kurdish. Aside from being a female sniper (which isn't a new concept; the Soviet Union employed female snipers in WW2), what does she have in common with this urban myth? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.76.213.106 (talk) 09:17, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Direct link

I just changed a link (Moskovskiy Komsomolets) of the newspaper to the direct link (Moskovskij Komsomolets). Moskovskij Komsomolets is an official title, anyone can see it at the related link in the edit summary User talk:Alex Bakharev#Moskovskiy Komsomolets. [1] (identical problem). And then began this edit war, he don't read the edit summary, he don't talk with other wikipedians. [2]

What that means? I don't want feed the rude trolls, too much attention for them. If you continue your destructive actions without any explanations I'll make a request to the admins. — Al3xil ✉ 13:48, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with A13xil that it is better to use the main article name to refer to the newspaper rather than any other variants. Presumably the transliteration scheme (different from WP:RUS) was somehow discussed there. Obviously, we should avoid using Cyrillic on en-wiki if we can help it. Thus, references like Московский Комсомолец are a bad idea Alex Bakharev (talk) 22:34, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alex, there is still no sourcing for this less-common spelling. I want to see a source before I accede to it. Can you provide one, since the other user is unable to? I left the Cyrillic because I am not convinced the ij spelling is right or useful. And al3xil, watch who you call a troll. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 12:17, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, before using of words "newbie"/"crap"/etc., you should read Wikipedia:Civility for the welfare of yourself. Sorry, but I don't talk with aggressive persons like someone, who have pleasure from reverting of other's edits. Thanks for using of the nickname instead simply "newbie", but why no caps? Oh, I know, "no caps, no respect implied".

I don't really understand the point of kinda people, if there are some questions from the administrators, of cause I'll answer to them, instead of important persons who have been blocked due to edit wars. — Al3xil ✉ 01:55, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
