Why you remove the gallery from this article???? ARA61RUS (talk) 06:49, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, this query would be best suited to my userpage at commons:User_talk:Russavia, however, since you have asked here, I will answer your question here. The photos which I deleted on 21 May, in my role as an administrator at Commons, was done because the photos were copyright violations. The photos were taken from a variety of websites which claimed full copyright over those photos. One website gave permission which is not compatible with Commons. You may request for these files to be undeleted, or these deletions to be reviewed, at commons:Commons:Undeletion requests, however, the deletions were done inline with policy. If you would like to approach copyright holders for permission to use photos, you can refer to ru:Википедия:Получение разрешений or WP:COPYREQ. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact me. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 07:24, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Russavia-Biophys

Your comment at WP:AN3

Neither of the warring editors has so far said anything on the article's talk page, and neither one has looked up any sources. Anyone who makes the slightest effort to play a constructive role here is unlikely to be blocked. I suggest that people don't use the term 'vandalism' carelessly because misuse of that term sometimes has repercussions. Check WP:Vandalism if you believe that the vandalism policy gives carte blanche to restoration of tags. If there is any stalking going on, where are the diffs?

Я уже попросил второго админа мне помочь, но он тоже не русский, не знаю поможет ли.

Суть такова: сравни три логотипа. это текущая версия в рувики, предлагаемая мной версия, и текущая английская версия. Первую (текущую рувики) было бы не плохо заменить моей версией, так как она один в один повторяет английскую. Но на выполнение этой операции нужны права администратора викисклада. Заранее спасибо!

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection 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.

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. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:41, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Notice to administrators: In a 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

As you have created a huge mess and have declined to explain what's going on, I had little option but to request the help of an administrator here. Please note that the post is not about you; I accept that you are acting in good faith. But this whole process has been poorly handled, and the result is a mess that may take some time to rectify.
In future, please do not create disambiguation pages until after the second article has been created. That way, other editors will be able to see what you are trying to achieve. If in doubt over a page name, please consider posting on an article's talk page before you move it. Given that there were several hours between the original page move and the second article's creation, it would have been far easier to attempt to communicate in preparation for the new article, and the whole situation could easily have been dealt with.

Ambassadors as expatriates -- category inquiry

Is an ambassador of Russia to Thailand really also considered to be a Russian expatriate in Thailand? I don't think ambassadors are generally thought to be expatriates, especially since they are not subject to the usual rules of immigration and visas etc. that typically apply to foreign nationals. Aren't most diplomatic missions in fact part of the sovereign territory of the sending country? FWIW, the categories for Russian ambassadors are the only ones that show up in expatriate categories. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:35, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

As per expatriate they would of course be considered as expats in the countries of their posting. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 12:46, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
You don't think it is at all a questionable situation? I can't find any other examples in WP or the real world of an ambassador or ambassadors also being considered an expatriate. In fact, there's evidence I'm finding from international law that suggests the opposite. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:57, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Nakh peoples

It's not that Chechens and Ingush aren't part of Russia (I made that they don't think so a side note) its that Kists and Bats clearly aren't. Furthermore, Bats are Christian. Nakh peoples category is like Slav peoples. --Yalens (talk) 19:29, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Also, why did you put the Wikiproject Russia on? As above, they aren't all located in Russia (Bats and Kists), and much of it also deals with extinct proposed Nakh peoples (some of which lived on land that is now part of Russia, but many didn't). If we do it that way, we'd have Armenia, Russia, Georgia and Azerbaijan all including the category (Nakh peoples may have lived in all four, if you count the extinct ones). I don't see wikiprojects Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Serbia, Croatia, and so on- as well as Germany, Lithuania, and so on- for the Slavic ethnic groups category. Nakh peoples category is supposed to be the same sort of thing as Slavic ethnic groups category- i.e. a category about an ethno-linguistic classification group. --Yalens (talk) 19:33, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not make site-wide naming changes that go against consensus

The currently used term on Wikipedia for the German-Soviet conflict is "Eastern Front." The article is disambiguated, at Eastern Front (World War II). If you believe this name is incorrect, the first step is to discuss at that article. Should consensus agree to move the article, then a site-wide name change is acceptable. In your edit summaries on a variety of articles, you're stating "Great Patriotic War" (or GPW) is a "valid name" for the war. That is correct, but Wikipedia generally chooses one and only one name to represent a conflict, location, etc. In some cases, official decisions (sometimes via Arbitration) are made to preserve specific names in specific domains. In most cases, the name chosen is the name that is most common in English sources.

In the absence of such an official Naming Convention, we are obliged to follow community consensus, and that consensus is most easily observed at the name of the article in question. I kindly request that you revert all of your changes on this issue. Note that others have reverted you on some of these articles. Your behavior may be considered edit warring, as you are making changes based on your own preference, against consensus, and reverting to protect those changes. 21:48, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

First off, my apologies. I misread the histories of the articles in question--I see now that you were the one reverting changes to the articles, and that the IP editor was changing without discussion; I had thought you were going through WP looking for places to change this term. In that, I was very wrong, and I'm sorry.

Nonetheless, I do believe that this naming issue needs to be standardized across WP. It still seems to me that since the main article's name is Eastern Front, articles which link to it should generally use that name. Similarly, it still seems to me that Wikipedia's policy is to use the most common English term (which isn't necessarily the same as the most common term in the language of origin). So while you were correct to say the IP editor should have given reasons in his/her changing of what was consensus at the target articles, I think you're incorrect in the proper name we should be using on en.wiki. If, in fact, "Great Patriotic War" is the correct term, then a discussion should be held at that article and the article should be moved. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:10, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I saw that your in WikiProject Bhutan i wanted to ask if you can work on Bhutan airplane related articles like Paro Airport and Yongphulla Airport since i saw you helped contribute to Druk Air. Also can you make an article about Bhutan and Russia relations ,Bhutan-Russia relations. You dont have to do it but it would nice if you can help. Spongie555 (talk) 05:53, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Yongphulla Airport there isn't much more to say on that by my previous searches. Paro Airport may be able to be expanded by way of materials from Kuensel, etc. It is something that I can look at in the future I am sure. In relation to Bhutan-Russia relations, that article will forever be a redlink, as there are no relations between the two countries - they may recognise each other, but there are no diplomatic relations, no trade/economic relations, no political relations, etc. This is as a result of the limited foreign relations of Bhutan (their choice), whereby they have official relations with only a handful of nations; believe it or not there are not even diplomatic relations between Bhutan and the US. The only nation which Bhutan does not have diplomatic relations with, and which has a notable relationship is China; mainly because of incursions of the PRC into Bhutanese territory, and because of history of Tibet and related regions. The foreign relations of Bhutan is a pretty small subject, surprisingly. Anyway, as to regards Paro Airport, I'll see what I can do in future, I've got a ton of articles I have yet to complete first :( --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 06:18, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

As for Bhutan foriegn relations even though Bhutan has no relations with the US someone made a page Bhutan-United States relations. Also theres not many Bhutan foreign relation articles like Bhutan-Nepal relations and Bhutan-Bangladesh relations which Bhutan does have relations but no page is made.

I have about 93 articles from 2004 to current that are supporting Russa is a superpower, some are very good reading and some are short & simple. Yet one editor has made confusing edits on Russia's article as a questionable superpower. I would send you the articles but I wanted to know if you have an opinion on them or what like to view them for an opinion? Let me know and I will forward them over.--Globalstatus (talk) 23:48, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Your request

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Resource_Exchange/Resource_Request#Paris Match article

Dear Russavia! In March 2009 you was on page above looking for an article in the Paris Match magazine. Is it still open or can it be archived? Cheers, Doc Taxon (talk) 05:13, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

And this? Is it open, too? Please reply, Doc Taxon (talk) 05:31, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Doc, the first request is still active yes, as it has a lot of info in it (apparently) which would be useful for the Slava Zaitsev article. The second request isn't mine, so I can't answer that one :) Cheers, --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 18:02, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

I will see, what I can do to provide this article. Doc Taxon (talk) 18:06, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

  • I think you're the one who needs a trout-slap for falsely accusing me of disruptive nomination. My concern here is the lack of notability. There's nothing online about these charts besides their own website. I've searched all over in both English and Russian. I strongly suggest you excise your false accusation from the AFD.

  • Dear Russavia, it is not at all disruptive to nominate an article for deletion. Anyone can do that for any reason, good or bad. Repeated nominations one after another may be disruptive, but it was not in this case. At all. Please do not accuse editors in good standing of disruption. In fact you are likely guilty of disruption simply by making this accusation as now there is a new and disruptive discussion about it. I hope you take care.

    • When an editor takes another article to AfD in relation to another article that is at AfD, and which is still active, and when it can be construed that it is done to give their argument in the current AfD stronger weight, and when they obviously have not searched for any results (or actually presented any evidence of searches), and when they call it all a mess, and when it is obvious from a simple viewing of a couple of websites that this is a professional chart, and when there is no evidence of anyone else being asked (who may be in the know) for further information, then I do tend to regard such things as a tad disruptive. And that is all I have to say on the matter. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 18:01, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
