Ukraine portal

If you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to anounce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.

Finally, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

З новим старим роком

Сію, вію, посіваю, з Новим роком поздоровляю!

На щастя, на здоров'я та на Новий рік,

Щоб уродило краще, ніж торік, -

Жито, пшениця і всяка пашниця,

Коноплі під стелю на велику куделю.

Будьте здорові з Новим роком та з Василем!

Image licensing

Hey there...

I am going through a number of images that have some minor licensing issues. I came across Image:Tor-bor2.jpg which you uploaded. The licensing on this image is not complete as it was uploaded many years ago. I wonder if you could follow the link to the image page and correct the licensing with a GFDL license (or other free license). If you have any questions or issues, please drop me a note on my talk page. Thanks. --Jordan 1972 (talk) 18:58, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Cetera.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cetera.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:05, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your note

Yes, I've seen this issue before. It would be helpful if you could give me more information about Simon Reznik; where can I find out more about him? Jayjg ^(talk) 01:20, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Russophone info only. He is a longtime Voice of America reporter, historian. Before emigrating he edited the famed book series "LIves of remarkable people" which was THE MAIN biographical book series in the old country.

He has his own article on Russian wiki. Much hated by conspirologists for his articles on Blood Libel in Russia.--Lute88 (talk) 04:53, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What you are doing is violation Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy, please read it.

If you label some author (e.g. Vadim Kozhinov) as Judaeo-Masonic conspiracy theorist or proponent of blood libel, you shoud support this by references to this particular author works, not to the articles by some third person.

You probably did not read Reznik's article at all, because if you read it, you would notice that Sokolov is name of investigator, not the Czech town. [1]DonaldDuck (talk) 05:59, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Tor-bor2.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Tor-bor2.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 06:56, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

warning

Please read out policy on living people, and our policy on pneutrality. All material needs good sourcing and needs to be neutral. We don't accuse people of anti-Semitism, we can only record neutrally that others have done it. If items you post on a biography are reverted citing WP:BLP do not replace them without discussion.

Eldridge Street Synagogue Restoration

Please see the talk page of Eldridge Street Synagogue and research proper credit for the Restoration of the Eldridge Street Synagogue before making further changes to the page. You will clearly see that Walter Sedovic Architects IS the architect of record for the Restoration of the Eldridge Street Synagogue and removal of their name from the site mis-represents the credit for the restoration. Jayjg has been vandalizing the site for some time. The information on the site is NOT advertising by creating a proper history for the near demise and restoration of this incredible and historically significant building. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Littlefacts (talk • contribs) 17:48, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trawniki concentration camp

Hi, Lute88. I really appreciate your trying to help, but this is exactly what I was trying to avoid at the Trawniki concentration camp article, which is... to break the list of perpetrators into an avalanche of raw bullets which are out of control and make the whole section useless. I hope you can see my point. The actual names stand no chance in hell for individual biographies. However, they work perfectly as a single block of data. I'm reinstating the original layout.

Speedy deletion nomination of Gary Southwell

Hello Lute88,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Gary Southwell for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

Consensus - Chitarra Italiana

Thanks for your assistance. If it is a lute community consensus that the gittern is not related to chitarra Italiana then this assertion needs to be discussed and referenced with verifiable historic source material. I have discussed this point with User:Galassi (see user talk section 'Citterns...etc.) whose edits in Wikipedia appear related to a range of similar article subjects. My apologies for the lacunae with regard to edit summaries - I will pay closer attention to this point. User:Pupsikon Pupsikon 20:58, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They are not related, especially in tuning. You might want to refer to Grove, rather than 100year old dated sources.--Lute88 (talk) 21:37, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is incorrect POV. Please see the following articles in editions of the Lute Society Journal;

Notes on the Cittern, Gittern and Guitar in 16th and 17th century England , John Ward, Vol.21 (1979-81)
The 17th century Gittern and the Englisch Zitterlein, Donald Gill, Vol.35 (1995)
Further Remarks on the Four-Course Guitar, James Tyler, Vol.17 (1975)
The Tunings of the Four-Course French Cittern and of the Four-Course Guitar in the 16th century, Charles Dobson, Ephraim Segerman and James Tyler, Vol.16 (1974)
Also useful - Fourteenth Century Instruments and Tunings: A Treatise by Jean Vaillant?, Christopher Page, Galpin Society Journal, Vol.33, March 1980.
You will find articles in the FoMRHI quarterly journal on a number of issues related to tuning, string materials and manufacture and a website assisting you to obtain copies.
The article in Grove is no doubt useful as a limited introduction to the subject, but (probably by virtue of necessity) somewhat brief and lacks in depth analysis. As far as I am aware it does not support the claim the gittern is not related to it's contemporary forms of chitarra, guitarre, guitarra, etc.. User:Pupsikon Pupsikon 02:14, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Further to preceding - I cannot think of anything apparently less related than a Fender Stratocaster and a René Voboam guitar. POV aside, they are both guitars by virtue of historic development, one leading to the other. User:Pupsikon Pupsikon 04:41, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

November 2014

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mykola Shmatko. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
I see you've been blocked for edit warring before, too. Please also familiarise yourself with WP:BLP. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:01, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Grigory Petrovsky, holodomor

Regarding you're reversion, the current wording has to go one way or another; "as well as one of organizers of the genocidal 1932-33 famine in Ukraine."... I don't care if this is true or not, what I do know is that this is not as clear cut as its made out to be. Honestly, before the Ukrainian revolution the fourth largest party (the Communists, which has now been illegalised) opposed such a view and the Party of Regions (which has collapsed because, if we are to generalise, of corruption) didn't support such a position either. And this is just in Ukraine, the historical community is not united either, and the Russians neither seems to support this position (since a large chunk of them also died during the Soviet famine of 1932–33), arguing that it was not only Ukrainians who died, and that the famine was nondiscriminatory in its evil ... As I said, I don't care if this is true or not (or if you believe its true; I don't have a particular position on this issue), but the current wording has to be changed or the sentenced removed for the sake of following Wikipedia's policy of neutrality. --TIAYN (talk) 23:54, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We relay what them sources say, per WP:RS. Hence the wording.--Lute88 (talk) 01:31, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But other sources disagree, hence WP neutrality rule. One narrative can't dominate other narratives, thats the whole point of WP neutrality. If this is you're point of view, I will either remove it or seriously reword it. --TIAYN (talk) 09:49, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Israel vs Israël

You reverted my edit w/o any explanation. I'm sorry but I would like one as I disagree with this revert. The sentence says "in French, every country needs an article except Israe/ël". It means every name of country needs an article except one and this one, the one w/o article, is "Israël" as we're talking from a french name, not of the english corresponding name. You understood as if the sentence was " in French, every country needs an article except the one we, english speaking people, call "Israel" but this is not what is written. BIRDIE ^® 22:19, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about Ukraine, not French spelling intricacies. Irrelevant. --Lute88 (talk) 02:07, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence is about articles in French country names. If it was just about Ukraine, why don't you erase the whole sentence that speaks about articles in French and German countries' names? Erase everything, don't stop in the middle of the way. If you don't have anything more productive to do, I suggest you either to wake up or to go back to your semi-retirement as you seem to be still unable to understand simple facts like making a name match with the rest of the sentence. BIRDIE ^® 17:15, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Necessary qualifiers

@Lute 88: Wrong! It's just WP: I don't like it. You may write "Socrates has said that...", but not "George Soros has said that...". If you don't like the fact that he is a businessman, propose an other way to introduce him. If you don't have one, I'll reinstate my edit. Againstdisinformation (talk) 16:51, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Soros needs no "introduction", especially insinuating anything. He also has HIS OWN wiki-article, which introduces him nicely.--Lute88 (talk) 17:09, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Lute 88: Wrong again! You are the one who is making insinuations, and not particularly pleasant ones at that. Do you have anything against American businessmen? Myriads of people have a wki-article, that doesn't mean no introduction is necessary. For instance, which is better "Joachim Gauck has said..." or "Johachim Gauck, Germany's President has said..."? Besides, my introduction is taken word for word from "HIS OWN wiki-article, which introduces him nicely". So? Againstdisinformation (talk) 17:46, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rude reversals

Well, you could at least have the courtesy to inform me when you revert two of my edits. Your insistence to state that Anna Palitkovska was murdered on Putin's birthday would be laughable if it was not a tragic event. Why not write "on Desmond Tutu's birthday", it was his birthday too after all. Or is it that you have a hidden agenda and you want to insinuate the grotesque suggestion that it was a present for Putin? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Againstdisinformation (talk • contribs) 21:00, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please, stop your WP: WAR. I would hate to have to report you, it goes against my nature. However, your violations of WP: NPOV are damaging Wikipedia and something will have to be done if you continue. Againstdisinformation (talk) 02:07, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A comment

I saw discussion on the talk page. Well, this is an obvious "disruption only" account engaged in WP:SOAP, WP:FORUM and POV-pushing on almost every page. I wonder why he has not been blocked yet. He received an AE warning and therefore ripe for WP:AE. I know these subjects and might be willing to help with sourcing, but would rather stay away of the page for now.

One has to, sadly, sooner or later.--Lute88 (talk) 22:16, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to believe that he simply does not know anything at all about this subject (he called her "Anna Palitkovska" on your talk page above), but it does not make this user less disruptive, in my opinion. My very best wishes (talk) 05:18, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fyodorov

Hi, Lute88. I've been asked to review the situation around the Ivan Fyodorov (printer) article, in which you are involved. While undoing other people's edits is often a part of normal editing process, it is only considered acceptable behavior when it is done with an explanation of reasons and in a civil manner. This first edit of yours technically meets these criteria (although one could wish that you elaborated on your reasoning in a little more detail), but this other one is absolutely unacceptable and is actually the reason which prompted that user to seek administrative input. When your edit is undone by more than one person, the proper course of action is to take the discussion to the talk page, not to resort to subtly worded passive-aggressive comments.

I am restoring the article to its July version. You are very welcome to start a discussion on the article's talk page, where you can explain the reasons you believe the current wording is unacceptable. I will also prompt the other party that they will need to participate in that discussion if the issue is to be resolved. Before posting anything, please also reacquaint yourself with the civility guidelines, so you are absolutely sure which kinds of comments are acceptable and which are not. I'm putting this article on my watchlist but am hoping that no further administrative intervention will be necessary.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 25, 2015; 13:25 (UTC)

22 April 2016

Please do not mislead in edit summaries, and refrain from disruptive editing practises such as deleting entire sections from articles on nationalist's grounds. On 10:10, 22 April 2016‎ you removed historical background with numerous book citations from Antisemitism in Ukraine (-5,707)‎. You falsely claimed that the section was a WP:POVFORK, even though such FORK could not exist, because there's no other article in Wikipedia devoted to this subject. Book citations from reputable historians are not WP:POV. Please do not try to force me to have to spend considerable amount of my time writing a report about such behaviour. Please respond to my post at Talk:Antisemitism in Ukraine#22 April 2016 new section with your concerns. I'm here to improve Wikipedia's coverage of world history, not to fight, so please don't get me wrong; my intention is not to condemn, but to inform in an neutral way about what happened during World War II.

Hello, Lute88, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Babanaboat2882 (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who use multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Exemplo347 (talk) 00:00, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My reversion wasn't an error. Neither was my placing of the Conflict of Interest tag on the article, which I have replaced. Are you D. Dominick Lombardi? Do you have any connection to this person?

Wikipedia's WP:COI policy requires that you declare your conflict of interest - it is not optional. Exemplo347 (talk) 12:13, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not Lombardi, which would not have precluded me from knowing him in real life. He is a public person. --Lute88 (talk) 12:18, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ukrainian literature

Hello. According to the first line of the lead of the article "Ukrainian literature is literature written in the Ukrainian language", which automatically excludes everything that was written before the 18th century, or if we stretch it a bit the middle of the 17th century, because before then there was no Ukrainian language. The Ukrainian language evolved slowly, over a period of 300 or so years, from the southern dialect of the Ruthenian language, with the other main dialects of that language becoming the Belarusian and Rusyn languages. Meaning that whatever was written during the time of the Kievan Rus' most definitely wasn't written in the Ukrainian language, and thus doesn't belong in the article. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 16:57, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Italian literature much predates the country, and so does Flemish, and many other literatures.--Aristophile 17:25, 29 September 2019 (UTC)Aristophile 17:03, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Yes, but those articles don't explicitly limit the scope of the article to literature in a single language, as Ukrainian literature does (and I'm not trying to exclude things that predate the country of Ukraine, only things that predate the Ukrainian language). Your edit summary in the second revert, pointing to WP:REDFLAG, was utterly ridiculous, BTW, there's absolutely no "red flag" in what I removed, and everything I did was explained in my edit summaries. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 17:16, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Languages and literatures do not develop overnight, and Ruthenian and Ukrainian are closely related to each other. You would need a lot of consensus.--Aristophile 17:25, 29 September 2019 (UTC)17:23, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

The earliest possible date for a Ukrainian language is the mid 17th century, during the Cossack Hetmanate, as you would know if you knew anything about languages.

To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — SamX [talk · contribs] 17:43, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bohdan Khmelnytsky edits

Hi Lute88,

I am not sure I understand your edits here and the subsequent revert. The numbers you put up appear neither in the provided sources, nor in the article you linked to, as the total number of Jews killed in Khmelitsky's campaigns. Please explain your edits on the talk page.

Thanks, Ynhockey ^(Talk) 23:45, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, in that case I left the main article link and only changed the casualty figures to what the sources actually say, including the source in the other article. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 14:46, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Gregory Doc Rossi

Hello Lute88, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Gregory Doc Rossi, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gregory Doc Rossi.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Chris troutman}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Iosif Grigulevich

Hello, Lute88. Why did you revert my edits on the Iosif Grigulevich page? They are backed by historian B. B. Volodarsky's book "The life and death of Alexander Orlov", which already sources other material on the page, and is considered a reliable source. Рудольф Багряный (talk) 19:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your nearly month-long silence as a statement of agreement, I reinstated the edits. Before making any reverts, please discuss your objections on this talk page or the one of the article. Рудольф Багряный (talk) 12:30, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
