Hi Denis. I dropped by to tell that your recent edits to Ukraine#History are highly questionnable and POV-like. Please cite your sources immediately, or I'm going to revert your edits. Not only they contradict to my (vast local) knowledge, but also indirectly support the pro-Russian and separatist-driven POV - which is unuseful and inflammatory here on WP. Anyway, I know few guys who would revert your contributions there ASAP, not waiting for your explanations. Best wishes, Ukrained 22:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.
If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper. Thank you very much, once more! abakharev 07:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi DennisRS. There is an ongoing discussion on
Talk:Michael_Jackson#Nicknames on how to deal with this issue. It appears to be coming close to a compromise. It is my hope that we would remove both nicknames from the opening paragraph and include them (with some explaination) further down in the article. Please read through that section and add any comments you like.

Please stop removing 'Wacko Jacko' from the opening paragraph of the Michael Jackson article. A consensus has been reached on the talk page to keep the nickname. Funky Monkey 00:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello DenisRS! As you were unhappy with the previous more informal consensus on inclusion of "Wacko Jacko" as a feature of the lead of the article, I am now carrying out a more formal vote on the subject at Jackson's talk page. Please vote as I know this issue is important to you. Your voice counts! -- Manboobies 03:36, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your message. I appreciate the amount of time you put to write it and I am sorry to tell you that I simply don't have time for lengthy political discussions online. It would be interesting to discuss politics over a beer or something, if we ever meet, but our goal here is editing the encyclopedia. Let's stick to it and use the talk pages to discuss the articles. Please don't be put off and don't consider me rude. I simply have too little time for long emails about politics. Thanks for your understanding. If you need help with editing, feel free to ask. Счастливо! -- Irpen 22:37, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Denis, when you update the numbers in the articles, please cite the sources of the new numbers you entered. CIA factbook is a source. If you claim it's less precise than another source you used, please cite yours in the article. Thanks, -- Irpen 21:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:MJackson vitiligo 1.png. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Wouldn't the comparison of the Raptor to the Sukhoi Su-37 or Su-27 be more appropriate than the Fulcrum? Or are you deliberately using the term "2D thrust vectoring" (where the Sukhoi's is much more capable than either the Flanker or the Raptor). ... aa: talk 19:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Could you perhaps find a better source for the letter? It just looks plain weird. For example, why would he put "Long live jihad and the mujahedeen (the insurgency)"? And "This is how you want your brother, son or leader to be ... and those who will lead you (in the future) should have the same qualifications. ", not to mention the periods where there shouldn't be periods. It just looks strange to me. dposse 02:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I assure you that no one is trying to be "manipulative." It just seems like what you want to add is unnecessary detailed for the lead. Only the main allegations really matter at that stage in the article; later on, we can be as thorough as we'd like. UberCryxic 23:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Phrases like "true merit of the allegations" and "credibility" are a bit dangerous in this case, mainly because Wikipedia makes no claims to truth. We're not here to convict or exonerate Michael Jackson; a jury has already done that. The only way that readers would get a distorted impression is if we somehow prevented that information from being included, but that doesn't apply again. I am merely suggesting that it might be a better idea if that information was included in the body of the article. UberCryxic 23:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Your latest edits actually go far beyond what you wanted initially. At this point it is a bit too much. I am going to give you an opportunity to revert yourself, otherwise I'm sure that other people will eventually. UberCryxic 23:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
One more thing: please no more claims about the "credibility" of the charges. That's not up to you or I to decide. Wikipedia is not a court of law. We are only here to decide, in this context, whether the information presented in allegedly reputable sources merits inclusion in the lead. UberCryxic 23:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree with UberCryxic. To be using phrases such as "true merit of the allegations" and "credibility" is wrong by wikipedia standards. That is not for us to decide. And I strongly agree that listing the charges in the lead is inappropriate, considering that there is a whole PAGE devoted to the trial, as well as a section lower down. Keep the detail for the trial page. Please don't amass information onto the Michael Jackson page to paint and then support it with peacock and weasel phrases to paint him as a bad man. That is not for you or I to decide, as long as we are active on wikipedia. -- Paaerduag 01:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
There are no mentions of credibility in the actual statements, but there are mentions of credibility on your part as a reason for wanting to place the statements in the article. That's troubling in and of itself. We are giving readers the notable allegations in the lead. There were actually ten counts against Michael Jackson, including four lesser ones, and we cannot hope to do justice to all of them in the lead. Information like that is best reserved for the body. You keep bringing up manipulation and deception, which slightly worries me as you are not assuming good faith. We're not trying to mislead readers in any way. We're trying to give them a broad picture of Michael Jackson's life in the lead. That broad picture does not include hot air balloons. As Paaeduag explained in the last revert, you are flirting with a violation of 3RR. We are not opposed to having a conversation on this, but we must do so (hopefully) in the talk page of the article and see if we can come to some sort of agreements. Attempts to arbitrarily impose your own views and standards on other editors will only cause confrontation and heartache, so I urge you to please take this to the talk page if you think it is really important.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sergeant'85.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I have tagged Image:Wax2'85.jpeg as {{ orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{ not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

Thanks for uploading Image:Alexandros Grigoropoulos'2008.jpeg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to
Genetically modified organism, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see
Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. --

Hi. I would like to outline my thoughts on the screen size of the new iPhone. While I thank you for your contributions, there are a few issues to notice. First, the geeky gadgets source makes no mention of "DVGA," or even "VGA". If this is a term you made up yourself, the sole contributor to DVGA, it is original research and unacceptable. Also, geeky gadgets only paraphrases information available at Gizmodo, which should be used instead; it seems like you are trying to unduly promote geeky gadgets. Also, forums (i.e. macrumors.com) do not qualify as reliable sources and may not be used in citations. Please also read WP:CRYSTAL. Unless you can, for starters, find a source that uses the term DVGA, the article will be deleted. I'm not trying to work against you, just work for the encyclopedia. HereToHelp ( talk to me) 12:52, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated Double-size VGA, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Double-size VGA. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. HereToHelp ( talk to me) 22:07, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Please, stop with the nonsense already. There was no concept of nation state in 18th century Imperial Russia, so it's impossible assign "Russian" to Baltic Germans, particularly when certain provinces were autonomous. Every single source calls him Baltic German biologist, at best mentioning his birthplace was Russian Empire (but usually skipping even that). We will go with what the reliable sources state about him, not inserting random statements not supported by a single source. The version you are so furiously fighting does mention that his birthplace was a part of the Russian Empire, so what is the problem? -- Sander Säde 19:56, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
I hope the compromise version is acceptable for you - although "Russian" has {{cn}} tag, as I was unable to find any sources supporting it. And as I just found, von Baer himself considered himself to be Estonian -
[5] - "On his graduate diploma he gave his nationality as 'Esthono' - Estonian." (p 248).
Also, birth and death places are given in English Wikipedia as geographic areas, not political entities. The latter may change, while the area is always the same. There was a long discussion about the topic before the decision was made.
I think I will try to improve von Baer article to GA status, but not anytime soon as I have two other articles I want to get to GA status first.
Your edits to the Michael Jackson article are obviously wrong and pointy. I have no part in the edit war you're involved in, but you need to stop. The Mark of the Beast ( talk) 05:57, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 07:08, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to
Genetically modified organism, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see
Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. --

Hi. I would like to outline my thoughts on the screen size of the new iPhone. While I thank you for your contributions, there are a few issues to notice. First, the geeky gadgets source makes no mention of "DVGA," or even "VGA". If this is a term you made up yourself, the sole contributor to DVGA, it is original research and unacceptable. Also, geeky gadgets only paraphrases information available at Gizmodo, which should be used instead; it seems like you are trying to unduly promote geeky gadgets. Also, forums (i.e. macrumors.com) do not qualify as reliable sources and may not be used in citations. Please also read WP:CRYSTAL. Unless you can, for starters, find a source that uses the term DVGA, the article will be deleted. I'm not trying to work against you, just work for the encyclopedia.

I have nominated Double-size VGA, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Double-size VGA. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please, stop with the nonsense already. There was no concept of nation state in 18th century Imperial Russia, so it's impossible assign "Russian" to Baltic Germans, particularly when certain provinces were autonomous. Every single source calls him Baltic German biologist, at best mentioning his birthplace was Russian Empire (but usually skipping even that). We will go with what the reliable sources state about him, not inserting random statements not supported by a single source. The version you are so furiously fighting does mention that his birthplace was a part of the Russian Empire, so what is the problem? -- Sander Säde 19:56, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
I hope the compromise version is acceptable for you - although "Russian" has {{cn}} tag, as I was unable to find any sources supporting it. And as I just found, von Baer himself considered himself to be Estonian -
[5] - "On his graduate diploma he gave his nationality as 'Esthono' - Estonian." (p 248).
Also, birth and death places are given in English Wikipedia as geographic areas, not political entities. The latter may change, while the area is always the same. There was a long discussion about the topic before the decision was made.
I think I will try to improve von Baer article to GA status, but not anytime soon as I have two other articles I want to get to GA status first.
Your edits to the Michael Jackson article are obviously wrong and pointy. I have no part in the edit war you're involved in, but you need to stop. The Mark of the Beast ( talk) 05:57, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at
Michael Jackson. Your edits appear to constitute
vandalism and have been
reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. Thank you.

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
