Hello! Just few advices for you, in case you continue to work on the Soviet-related topics.
Dear BesterRus: Hello. This is just to let you know that you've been mentioned in the following request at the Mediation Cabal, which is a Wikipedia dispute resolution initiative that resolves disputes by informal mediation.
The request can be found at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/02 October 2011/Holodomor.
Just so you know, it is entirely your choice whether or not you participate. If you wish to do so, and we'll see what we can do about getting this sorted out. At MedCab we aim to help all involved parties reach a solution and hope you will join in this effort.
If you have any questions relating to this or any other issue needing mediation, you can ask on the case talk page, the MedCab talk page, or you can ask the mediator, Steven Zhang, at their talk page.

Be civil please, and avoid
WP:Personal attacks against the other participants of discussions you take part in. It doesn't matter what opinions other people support, even if they are entirely wrong by your standards, you still should be civil and avoid accusing other people personally or in group with labels like "dishonest". This is counterproductive and doesn't help.

Hey, just wanted to give a heads up, I responded on my talk page. Cheers, DBaba ( talk) 02:18, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
This is just to let you know about such policy. Please keep in mind. Of course if someone edited an article/subject before, it would not be strange that he returns to editing the same. Biophys ( talk) 14:54, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
I am glad for editors who contribute Russia-related content, being a closet Russophile myself. Regarding "impasses", you will find your time on Wikipedia will be most constructive sticking to mainstream scholarship. I've been a bit disappointed in your recent edits based on interpretations of Soviet jurisprudence as holding sway over undisputed events. How you spend your time on Wikipedia is up to you, but it's always more constructive to avoid conflict, so at least make sure to discuss changes first. No response necessary, feel free to delete (not that you haven't already).

I do apologize for having missed your article talk page entry. Regardless, next time discuss first, then change after gaining consensus, not change content and then notify. If you think something requires additional citations, request citations, don't delete content. Regardless of your contentions, barging in and deleting prior stable content will tend to be undone.

Actually, it was starving Ukrainian parents driven mad by hunger who killed and ate their own children. Stalin eating babies would be a metaphor—which was your phrase, not mine, so I will thank you to not put words in my mouth. As for the rest,
«Sigh», bolding and SHOUTING doesn't make your vitriol any more plausible or persuasive.

I took a quick look at the main page. Having some experience in surveys, the questions are not worded in a non-neutral manner; they are worded in a manner guaranteed (whether intended or not) to garner the most votes against objective reconcilement with the past. If you like, we can discuss the survey when I've had a chance to review. I often find it's more constructive to discuss and debate a topic when it's not directly related to article content. Do let me know if you have any interest.

The article Yuri Nikolayevitch Zhukov has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
