My archived talk 2 - Year 2005
i dont know if your are aware, but you deleted the police page. be carefull with your edits. Xtra 13:18, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hi Alex. On a whim, I created and populated Category:Ukrainian space program while avoiding work. The articles are all little stubs. Would you have a look and see if I haven't left out anything obvious? I wanted to start an article about the Sich-1 and Coronas-F satellites, but I've run out of time. Michael Z.
Pryvit, AlexPU
But you're a lucky guy - I've tried to create already two new categories and no freaking effect so far. Would you take a look when not so busy?
I think you should be interested to take a look at the Khotyn article, which is repeatedly flooded by Romanian nationalism. If you have any facts on the Khotyn uprising, please help to make the article better. Ghirlandajo 06:55, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi,
Good job man! That was a great idea to create Category:Non-combat accidents involving military. Good luck! --Pouya 19:33, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I've replied on my talk page; it's prolly easiest to keep the discussion in one place. — OwenBlacker 20:34, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
I cannot revert. Oblast' is not english. Please look on other countries (not Russia) where else do we use non-english terms? Privet Tobias Conradi 07:19, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
If someone has another opinion than you, you call him asshole? Tobias Conradi 07:39, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Where do you think is the best place to discuss the naming of province/oblast? Tobias Conradi 07:42, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I stop renaming for now and would really like to talk about it. Tell me where Privjet from Berlin. :-) Tobias Conradi 08:37, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
In the german WP we also use the word Oblast. Tobias should not try to move the oblast-articles in de:WP. --Steschke 07:46, 2005 Mar 5 (UTC)
Hi Alex, I invite you to find out the best basic ukrain map to show the position of cities. We discuss here --ST ○ 06:58, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC)
I would like to work with you on articles about Military of Ukraine, Russian Navy, and so on. I am currently working on articles (very slowly) about Soviet and Russian submarine accidents. I spent many years in the United States Navy's Submarine Service, and now I work for the Navy as a civilian contractor, so in English I am something of an expert. ➥the Epopt 15:30, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I'd also be pleased to help, with English/American terminology and usage etc. Pedant 19:46, 2005 Mar 9 (UTC)
➥the Epopt 15:26, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I have added a tiny amount to your stub about Ukraine's submarine, and I'll add more as I research it. ➥the Epopt 23:16, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Just so you know. Since we're on the English wikipedia here, Kiev is how most English people refer to the city. I therefore changed the link in your suggested item. (I do believe the Ukrainian name is mentioned in the lead, though. Mgm|(talk) 13:23, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Alex, please look at the note I left at the Arsenal Mutiny article talk page. Also, may I suggest you to avoid using Kyiv in Wikipedia as the primary name of the city. I understand that you may want to promote the usage of Kyiv by using it yourself. But at Wikipedia, I think, the choice of the term should reflect the current usage rather than promote some terms over the others. Regards, Irpen 07:12, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
Alex, I am responding to the note you left at my talk page. I don't have a big problem with FC Arsenal called either way. Save few exceptional cases, I usually don't go to the page just in order to change a single term when it is as contentious as Kiev/Kyiv. Mostly, I only do this change in the course of some other page edits. Unlike when used for the name of the city itself in English WP, the argument you made for the FC name has merit and I am happy to have it the way you changed it back.
I don't feel good, though, about the tone of the note you left at my talk page and about your calling my edits outrageous. Please don't become short-tempered when you disagree with others. I work on all articles in good faith and I don't think I deserved to be addressed in such a tone. Now, lets put this matter behind and go back to business of improving the WP. Please don't take this personally, but I think your should reconsider your usage of Kyiv for the name of the city in your edits. I left a note on the talk page of one of the articles and there is enough said on this heated discussion elsewhere. Please note, that I agreed with your moving the Irpen river article into Irpin, which I think made perfect sense for today's day. You may notice, that I created the article a while ago, and now I would have created it as Irpin as well. I hope, our discussions will remain civil, and I really appreciate your contributions to WP, including those I disagree. Irpen 22:34, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Alex, I'm looking for a picture or scan of an 1 Griwna banknote to use in the article about Chersones (Sewastopol). Do you have an idea? --ST ○ 19:47, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
Hi everybody. I dropped in for a minute - just to see what's happening in this great project. Unfortunately, I'm still on Wikibreak and have no time/energy for contribiting. Sorry if I didn't answer someone's message.
However:
So, people, if you need my help with some particular non-lasting tasks - please E-mail me.
Best wishes, AlexPU 12:02, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
P.S. If someone is interested in my experience, I do miss Wikipedia, but without any addiction suffering. My work pressure keeps me far from even thinking about writing something more :(( But I miss English very much. WP was the only place where I could use it. Hope I will return to editing someday.
Hi Alex! Just slumming a bit at Wikipedia? Thanks for filling in some info at tank desant. Hope to see you around here a bit. —Michael Z. 2005-11-10 19:38 Z
Hi Michael! Thanks for your welcoming. Glad to see you active as usual. Couldn't stand my desire to edit something, and to use English again. So many things changed since I left... I'm a little afraid of returning to our mainstream Ukraine articles. Need to read and think more. User:AlexPU
And I freaking forgot how to sign myself...
Done AlexPU
Sorry Michael, I've incidentally blanked your talk page. Tried to fix it for a 5 times - with no freaking success. Would you do it yourself and accept my apologies& AlexPU 21:12, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi Alex, nice to meet you here. There is so little Ukrainian editors at WP. Let's keap contact.--AndriyK 19:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Alex, yet again, I urge you to avoid name calling. In no time after your return to Wikipedia you resumed using this practice all too much. Maybe you forgot, but your first ever message to me (shortly after I've just started here) was a rude one. At that time, I was almost a newbie and you were an aged Wikipedian so welcoming me. Now, that I am also an aged Wikipedian, the first message from you after your wikibreak is even more rude.
I understand that, as you put it, you are now "too busy now to study Wikiethics pages thoroughly", but even if you apply any common sense ethics and civility rules you would have not done that and you don't need to read WP:Civil to be aware of that.
I hope you said "tak trymaty" above without really studying the contributions of the above user which by now have included disruptive behaviour, lack of civility, extreme POV pushing, multiple 3RR violations, effective vote falsification by using forums to recruit socks/absentee votes see (talk:Oleg of Chernihiv), personal attacks on and off Wikipedia, multiple copyright vilations and moving articles by cut and paste when he could not get his way by an accepted procedure. If you are interested, you can read his talk, especially starting from User_talk:AndriyK#Discussion_at_maidanua.org, my talk, particularly starting from User_talk:Irpen#Discussion_on_maidanua.org. In no time AndriyK managed to get himself blocked thrice, see (his block log), and aggravate everyone around him. This is a rather typical representation of his contributions.
I remember many good contributions you made before your wikibreak and we do need contributors around here. I hope you will help to make several more Ukrainian articles Wikipedia:Featured articles. So far we have only one, the Hero of Ukraine article, mostly written by an American, BTW. Shame on us! The featureable articles, IMO (those sufficiently detailed to be within reach) are Kiev, History of Kiev, Orange Revolution, Ukrainian language (particularly its history). My pet project History of Christianity in Ukraine is largely abandoned, but could be revived if there is an interest. I am looking forward to your help. --Irpen 21:26, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi Alex. My question at talk:Ukraine#Na/v Ukrayini—eliminating vague language could probably use your perspective. Thanks. —Michael Z. 2005-11-15 17:37 Z
The navbox is done. By the way, I'm Ukrainian too. --Akhristov 00:12, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
