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 announce 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.
Again, welcome!
Ruthenian means historic term for a dweller of the Kievan Rus. Russian means dweller of the Russian empire and has been wrongly accredited to Great Ruthenians in the start of the 20th century. Cossacks are Russian, Ruthenian but neither Great Ruthenian (Russian) nor Little Ruthenian (Ukrainian). Also no need to put censos figures for the Kuban. In 2002 Cossacks appear as a destinct subgroup of Russians on it (along with Great Ruthenians and Pomorians). So the Ukrainian population that you quote is not even Cossack descent. --
Kuban Cossack

Russians (Russian: Русские - Russkiye) are an East Slavic ethnic group, primarily living in Russia and neighboring countries. Russian is not a dweller of the Russian Empire. Even if it is, the Russian Empire at the moment does not include Ukraine and Pereyaslavl as it part. So to disambiguate I offer to put "Cossacks in the Russian Empire" or just "cossacks" or "Ruthenian Cossacks". Regarding censuses, I think we need to mention these figures because it is said that Kuban Cossacks "do not identify themselves as Ukrainians". So I think it is proper to add "due to Russification policy of Imperial Russia and USSR (in mid XIX century Ukrainians accounted to 44% of the Kuban area population, according to 1926 census only to 30,5%, whereas in 1989 only to 2.5%)." or at least "However it must be noticed here that in mid XIX century Ukrainians accounted to 44% of the Kuban area population, according to 1926 census only to 30,5%, whereas in 1989 only to 2.5%)."-- KKonstantin 20:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
1. I did not try to persuade you that Kuban Cossacks are Ukrainians.
I only asked that you agree to put ‘Ruthenian’ instead of ‘Russian’ in subtopic ‘Russian Cossacks’.
You say “Cossacks are Russian, Ruthenian but neither Great Ruthenian (Russian) nor Little Ruthenian (Ukrainian)”. O.K., but if ‘Russian’ and ‘Ruthenian’ are interchangeable for you (you use Ruthenian several times above in the same manner as I mean), then why you do not agree to put “Ruthenian Cossacks” or just “Cossacks” at least in the first three paragraphs of the sub-article “Russian Cossacks” where it is said about those times when Russian Empire did not exist or did not include Zaporozhian Host and Don Host and therefore you cannot call these Cossacks Russian on the basis of being “dweller of the Russian empire” as you say? They were not dwellers of the Russian empire at that time.
Regarding the name of sub-article “Russian Cossacks”. If you wish to emphasize that this part is saying mostly about Russian Empire, then why you do not agree to name this sub-article “Cossacks in the Russian Empire” instead of “Russian Cossacks”?
Only you and I understand the difference between Great Ruthenians (Russains) and Little Ruthenians (Ukrainians), and only you and I know that term ‘Russian’ “has been wrongly accredited to Great Ruthenians in the start of the 20th century” as you say above and I agree absolutely. But when someone from Poland or USA reads the article ‘Russian Cossacks’, he certainly thinks of “Great Russian” Cossacks which is not fair because as you say Great Russians have nothing to do with Cossacks.
So I ask you to agree to amend the article as I offer.
2. As for Kuban Cossacks being not Ukrainians (this offtop certainly, but we talk about it if you wish).
It is no wonder that Kuban Cossacks did not identify themselves as Ukrainian since the Ukrainians living in the modern-day Ukraine identified themselves as Ukrainians only starting from 1830s (see article “Name of Ukraine” on Wikipedia). And the Western part of Ukraine identified themselves as Ukrainians only in 1920s. Before that Ukrainians called themselves Rus’ki. And even now in the most western part of Ukraine people call themselves Rus’ki and Rusyn.
Therefore calling themselves Rus’ki for a Ukrainian is normal thing. Rus’ki and Ukrainian are interchangeable, especially in the remote (from the center) parts of Ukrainian ethnos where people did not know that Mykola Kostomarov offerred (and the rest agreed) to call themselves Ukrainians to differentiate from Great Russians.
Kuban is the most remote part of Ukrainian ethnos which was separated from the rest of Ukraine for a longest time (first due to geographical reasons and then due to non-inclusion in the Ukrainian SSR).
You can find a lot of examples when some Empire supports that part of a suppressed nation does not identify itself with the rest of it. For instance Valencians do not identify themselves to be Catalonians however the rest of the world does view them as part of Catalonian nation (there is no difference between Valancian and Catalan language).
Also it does not matter whether some of Ukrainian population is or is not of Cossack descent. This is a racial question, not ethnographic. Each nation is formed by assimilation of some previous population. Remnants of Scythians, Sarmatians, Goths etc. were assimilated by the Slavic tribes leading to formation of Ukrainians (see article “Ukrainians” on the Wikipedia). So if you go to the West of Ukraine, you will see that people are shorter there compared to people in the Center of Ukraine, where they are taller because in the West they almost purely Slavic, while in the east they had a lot of blood blending with different nations. It does not make some of them non-Ukrainians.
By the way term Ukraine (Ukrajina) is “an old word for the Cossack motherland” as you can read from article “Ukrainian language” on Wikipedia. KKonstantin 15:35, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I have looked into the article you give. First, it is again mostly racial, not ethno study: blood etc. I do not think that you consider yourselves a close relative of Mariytsy, etc., at least before you read this article. Be honest. (Also when you say about “big Kasha - In my blood there is Circassian, Greek, Serb, Bulgarian” it is also racial, not ethno). According to this article there is a big difference between western Ukrainians and eastern ones (much bigger than between estern Ukrainians and Russians). But both western and eastern consider themselves Ukrainians because ethno and racial are different things!
But what matters in ethno is language. (when you say about Russain language in Ukraine it is a different thing: all former colonies use the language of the former Empire for some time after the collapse of the Empire).
Second, this study says that there is almost no difference between eastern Ukrainian and Russains. So Kuban Cossack can be just eastern Ukrainians. And they are according to my opinion.
As for the surnames. This does not matter anything as surnames in the western and in the eastern Ukraine are different, but this does not make us different nation. Surnames depend on the country people live: western Ukrainians were living in Austria-Hungary for a long time, eastern - in Poland and Russia, Kuban Cossacks always in Russia and close to Caucasus. That’s why there are differences.
Last, this study was done by Russian scientists. Unfortunately in Russia there is always politically right interpretation (even if the study itself is good) of each thing (it is called “propaganda” – for normal non-Russian people it is disgusting to watch biased Russian TV news).
You consider yourselves Russian for political reasons as when growing up, you have never heard another opinion on Russian TV, radio etc. So you were MADE Russian. Have you ever seen anyone on Russian TV giving interview on "balachka"? Why not? Because it is politically not good.
Read these articles from “Ukrainians” references of Wikipedia

where you can see that Ukrainians were called Rusyn etc. in the beginning. Kuban Cossacks name for itself was easily transformed by Soviet and Russian propaganda from Rusyn / Rus’ki to Russkiy.
Anyway we went to far from the topic I guess. Regarding “Russian Cossacks”. What about the first three paragraphs of the “Russian Cossacks” where it is said not about the dwellers of the Russian Empire. “Russian” should be deleted there. Do you agree? KKonstantin 00:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
O.K. No more attempts to pursuade each other regarding Kuban Cossacks.
(Just last remark. The article you quoted says that Zaporozhians may have never been to Kuban. Do you agree? If not (you say "our ancestors Zaporozhians"), why do you agree with one part of this 'study' and not agree with the other? That's the way propaganda works: take what you like and do not see what you do not like)
Let's go back to the topic “Russian Cossacks”. "What about the first three paragraphs of the “Russian Cossacks” where it is said not about the dwellers of the Russian Empire. “Russian” should be deleted there. Do you agree?" You did not answer. KKonstantin 14:25, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
But in the three first paragraphs of "Russian Cossacks" it is said about year 1444 and then "In the sixteenth century". So there was no Russian Empire or it did not include the lands of Cossacks in 1444 or in the sixteenth century or earlier.
Therefore the word "Russian" must be deleted from the first three paragraphs of "Russian Cossacks".

At the moment I can send you some pictures of Beresteyska and Akademmistechko I just took by my phone camera. Give me your e-mail or specify how to send. This is all I can send at the moment. Or you need high resolution photos? If so, we plan to buy a digital camera, but I am not sure when: maybe in a month or two. My scanner will be away (in the garage) from me around 3 months as we are going to make a renovation of the apartment we will move while living at my wife's sister apartment.

My daily is route is not constant now as I have not strict office hours, but flowing. And also due to the fact that we now moved to another location, but sometimes go back to the place we lived. Again going to bank which gave us a credit. And finally I just bought a car, so I needed to have some drive lessons. So there were many things to do last weeks.

Is it in Balachka?
By the way how do you say 'Kuban Cossacks' in Balachka: 'Kubanskiye Kazaki' or 'Kubanski Kozaky'?
What Station do you need photo of? And what will I get for it? (not money, but some pro-Ukr. stance on wiki:) KKonstantin ( talk) 14:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
I removed most of the maps you added to articles, because remember external links are not meant to carry a Undue weight and b) be there to make a point. I appreciate your interest in the subject but I also ask that you review WP:SOURCE and WP:NOR i.e. all statements in article space, and arguments in talk page that you want to be convincing must be sourced and refrenced. My text is, yours is not. -- Kuban Cossack 20:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
May I ask you to review our Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, especially 'What wikipedia is not', repository section, our external links guideline, and probably some others. You are constantly adding numerous external links to the external links section of Ukrainian language and some other pages, which can be regarded spamming. Please discuss link-additions on talkpages first, and consider adding content in stead of external links only. Thanks. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 10:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the quality. First of all it is not possible to have a decent quality with the phone camera (the color is not good on many of the pictures and I can't do anything about it), at least the one I have. As for the people. People are always on our way:) I just do not have time for waiting. KKonstantin 20:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey, are you still operational? Any chance for a few more photos of different stations? How are you? -- Kuban Cossack 13:38, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
What is PriveNt?
Is it in Balachka?
By the way how do you say 'Kuban Cossacks' in Balachka: 'Kubanskiye Kazaki' or 'Kubanski Kozaky'?
What Station do you need photo of? And what will I get for it? (not money, but some pro-Ukr. stance on wiki:) KKonstantin ( talk) 14:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
I removed most of the maps you added to articles, because remember external links are not meant to carry a Undue weight and b) be there to make a point. I appreciate your interest in the subject but I also ask that you review WP:SOURCE and WP:NOR i.e. all statements in article space, and arguments in talk page that you want to be convincing must be sourced and refrenced. My text is, yours is not. -- Kuban Cossack 20:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
May I ask you to review our Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, especially 'What wikipedia is not', repository section, our external links guideline, and probably some others. You are constantly adding numerous external links to the external links section of Ukrainian language and some other pages, which can be regarded spamming. Please discuss link-additions on talkpages first, and consider adding content in stead of external links only. Thanks. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 10:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Russians in Ukraine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reni. 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited West Polesian microlanguage, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ukrainian ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
