Italian idioms

Hi Ilgiz,

just for future reference, the verb sentire can mean either "feel" or "hear"; in this case it means "hear". The idiom (or maybe just slightly unusual grammatical construction) sentire parlare di means "to hear (someone else) speak of". --Trovatore 19:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Vityaz_48_167.jpeg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Vityaz_48_167.jpeg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 17:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:29small.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:29small.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. OsamaK (talk) 06:16, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Why did you delete the Berezovsky information and reinsert the original research "Chronology of events" under the guise of "The editorial generalization of the references as if they "describe" the FSB plot arguments as a "conspiracy theory" is single-sided. We have a break-down of these references in the same section."?--Miyokan (talk) 12:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Wikipedia editors' interpretation of the sources should remain as close to the secondary (analytic articles and books) and primary sources (published facts) as possible. I thought that explaining the particular aspects against the theory of FSB involvement is more accurate than putting all the references under a single sentence. This single sentence may break the neutrality (i.e. may bring own editorial conjectures that were not implied by the authors of the sources).

The same goes about the chronology. Interpreting is left to the reader. If you see that the chronology omits certain key events, please add these events. Events such as an FSB officer signing a Ryazan training exercise plan without communicating it with the Ryazan regional department or publishing medical records on death of Yuri Schekochihin would be of special value.ilgiz (talk) 12:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok that's fine but I added other relevant information but pro-FSB theory users Pietervhuis and Biophys have been censoring/vandalizing it.--Miyokan (talk) 10:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Restructuring of Russian Apartment Bombings page

We are currently discussing this. Perhaps you would like to join us, as you have suggested an interest before. Mariya - x -Mariya Oktyabrskaya (talk) 18:05, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain

Regarding this edit, what's the basis for this change? It sounds pretty POVish, like you're trying to prove a point that only Russian government workers agree on this statement, which isn't true. The article cites GOLOS, the SCO monitoring group and PACE as agreeing with this statement, among others (countries official responses etc.. "Germany and France made clear the vote did not meet their criteria for a democratic election, but alongside Britain and the European Union they congratulated Medvedev on a victory they said appeared to reflect the will of the Russian people.).

You can find statements by PACE in the RIA article cited[2], "Andreas Gross, head of the group from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), said Sunday's vote was a "reflection of the will of the electorate whose democratic potential unfortunately has not been tapped." Here's a western source with the same thing [3].

In the same article, the CIS monitoring group said: "The CIS observer mission states that the election is a major factor in the further democratization of public life in the Russian Federation, and recognizes it as free, open and transparent,"

So why did you make the changes that you did, changing "most" to "The Kremlin and its controlled media", when the sources and the rest of the article clearly support the original wording? Sbw01f (talk) 22:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of File:Mironov Visits Vityaz.pdf

A tag has been placed on File:Mironov Visits Vityaz.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:File:Mironov Visits Vityaz.pdf|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Russavia ^Dialogue 14:34, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I saw the fair use rationale, so you can use it if you've got a good rationale. But I deleted it because it's in pdf format, can't be used as an image.

Apartment bombings

Hi, I noticed that you've made many constructive edits on the article, without taking part in the edit war. Do you have an opinion on the latest argument about the "attempted bombings" and the "second introduction," or maybe about the article on the whole? In any case, I think you've done a good job with your edits. Offliner (talk) 19:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Igor Ponomarev

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Igor Ponomarev, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unnecessary disambiguation page. Only one article with the name "Igor Ponomaryov".

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Harvard references

Regarding this edit, I've used {{Harvnb}} in several articles, and I could have sworn that the "jump to the full reference" capability did work, without a 'ref' field being inserted. Did something change in {{Cite book}} or {{Citation/core}} recently? Or is my memory fried? --RL0919 (talk) 22:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I received an answer at Template talk:Cite book#Cite references which pointed me to Template talk:Citation/core#HTML id. People realized that cite[@id] attributes should be unique, and it should be up to the users of the citation templates to specify unique IDs. So they changed the default behaviour to no IDs at all. --ilgiz (talk) 23:30, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I saw that discussion shortly after I placed my message here. Not necessarily the decision I would have made, but I understand the reasons they had for doing it. So now there are a dozen articles that I put Harvard refs in that will need editing to add refids. Oh, well. Thanks for pointing this out. --RL0919 (talk) 16:22, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Year 2070 problem

Something funny

Hi, Ilgiz!

Please take a brief moment reviewing an edit to the Russian Apartment Bombings article. I should stress that it's a good edit made on clear assumptions. If you follow the link in the ref, you can see the quote by Lebed which ends with the footnote number "33" and the footnote itself on page 387: "33. Ibid.; Lebed interview in Le Figaro (February 17, 1997)".

Except that of course, the date is wrong. :-)

With Klebnikov's book in my hands, I can explain how everybody got confused. The reference is actually to the following passage on pp. 268-269 (Chapter 9, "Oligarchy"):

The winner of the Sibneft auction submitted a bid for $110 million, just $9 million more than the starting price. The winner of the 1995 auction and the organizer of the 1997 auction was NFK (Oil Finance Company). The winner of the 1997 auction was called FNK (Finance Oil Company). No one knew for sure who was behind FNK. In public Berezovsky strenuously denied any connection to the outfit. He was already known to be linked with the organizer of the auction, NFK; to admit to being the man behind the winner of the auction, FNK, would have revealed a conflict of interest. Moreover, Berezovsky was a government official and hence prohibited from engaging in commercial activity. The public was told that the owners of FNK were two subsidiaries of Aleksandr Smolensky's SBS-Agro Bank (as Stolichny Bank was now known). But there could be little doubt that the real owner of both NFK and FNK was the same man: Boris Berezovsky. [32] "This was a comedy and it remains a comedy," snorts Alfred Kokh. In fact, the actions of Berezovsky in acquiring Sibneft were so thinly disguised that the quote that comes to mind is Lebed's: "Berezovsky... is not satisfied with stealing—he wants everybody to see that he is stealing with impunity." [33]

There's another footnote with the same number (33) on page 389, which lists several sources including "Lebed interview with Le Figaro (September 29, 1999)".

You reverted my edit on Same-origin policy. I have edited again to take your criticism into account. Feel free to look it over.

Incidentally, I would have found it more helpful to edit out the part of my edit you disagreed with, rather than completely reverting it, since you only objected to part of it.
