Please stop vandalizing Kiev Metro page ( [5], [6]) by attempting to put Russian language map instead of the official map in the Ukrainian language. Ukrainian language is the official language of Ukraine. Ukraine, and Kiev in particular do not want citation needed to be a part of Russia.

Please be more careful when reverting. 3RR applies to all. By the way, Molobo and Kosmak, fresh from the blocks, lead a crusade against Kaliningrad, adding Polish names to the lead.

Hello, I've edited the Yerevan Metro to make it more readable to English natives (I'm British, and you seem to prefer British English spellings. I hope you like what I have done. Do change bits if I've misinterpreted what you have tried to say. I've changed the tense to perfect / pluperfect in most of the article because it makes it sound a lot more, well, English. I have a few questions because I am a bit confused by what you have written in English: - was the official name given to the Metro during planning stages Rapid Tram or just Tram; because you've refered to both titles in the article. Also, where you have the anecdote to Brezhnev saying We need Metro In English we would put an article - We need a Metro system - using metro on its own, as you have done in the article stylistically is a little strange, because "Metro" can be used as a brand or a trademark in English - we have a newspaper called Metro in Britain, the underground railway system in Newcastle upon Tyne is officially known as "Metro" and there are lots of other examples like this. I haven't changed the Brezhnev speech because I don't know what he said in Russian / Armenian and I couldn't translate it even if I did! So I have put "metro system" to make it sound more pleasing to a native's ear. What do you think? -- Luccent 13:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Kazak, I offer you to follow a simple rule that most people agree on. Those alternative language placenames should be listed in the lead that are used in English texts (as such, for Chernivtsi the Romanian name is clearly relevant) and all names follow the native name in the alphabetic order of their languages (the native name goes first in any case). Don't delete names excessively and don't put the Russian name necessarily the second in order. RU follows PL and RO in the alphabet. Generally, make it a rule, I suggest, if you go to the article to correct Kyiv for Kiev or whatever name for another, do something else for the article too. If everyone does that, the revert wars over names will have a positive side effect. Regards, -- Irpen 22:50, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I left your revert of 230 feet to 70 meters alone, in the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral article. Please remember, however, many people in Great Britain, Canada, and the U.S., have difficulty with the metric system. We are slowly adapting to it. Since the article is in English Wikipedia, it didn't seem an inappropriate edit. As it stands, there's enough polemics involved in the article and talk pages, anyway. A liitle further down in the article, the 230 feet are mentioned again, so everybody can sleep better. Best wishes. Dr. Dan 19:32, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

On a different topic, how good are you in reading Ukrainian? I added several references to Kiev bridges and some of them are in Ukrainian. I am able to handle the hystoric part (I welcome help there too, of course) but in Civil Engineering I am totally dumb. Those "pylons", "towers", "caissons" are a mumbo-jumbo for me. Even in Russian I only know the word "бык" for the bridge supports. Will you be able to help? My goal is to bring it to a WP:Good article status and maybe some day we will make it WP:FAC and WP:FA.

Seeing that you hold quite a bit of knowledge on Architecture then perhaps you would be able to give us some professional advice.
The argument is this: If an architect designs a structure (say a metro station) which includes political slogans and motives in the decoration (say Communist symbols). Then years later under polical reasons someone decides to remove them. Wouldn't that be a conflict with the original design of that sturucture, based on the architects plan?

If you want to create such templates yourself, please go ahead—the [[Administrative divisions of...]] articles have all the information you'll need.

Не скажешь же ты, что эти изменения, которые были там в течение месяца, внес кто-то другой? Я конечно понимаю, у каждого есть своя точка зрения, но все-таки когда пишешь статью можно же воспользоваться какими-либо дополнительными источниками, кроме мнения отдельных представителей РПЦ, православной энциклопедии и сайтов каких-то право-радикальных движений. При твоих-то способностях к языкам (user-en-5) можно было бы найти, что-либо более нейтральное. Да и в интернете существует масса нормальных нейтральных статей на эту тему в том числе на русском языке и на православных сайтах. Зачем выискивать всякую грязь и тащить ее на страницы Википедии. В этих нескольких абзацах, добавленных за последний месяц, столько неточностей, предвзятостей и ошибок, что, как мне кажется, лучше эти абзацы отбросить и начать писать все с чистого листа. -- Yakudza 15:41, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, despite your ... funny behaviour, I came here again with an editing issue. Please restyle this your edit in some way. This particular issue isn't about Russian POV-pushing, it's probably about your poor wording. I don't get WHO do you think were "pardoned" in 1955: German POWs taken by the Red Army, or opposite? And why do you think the "collaborators" were pardoned (supply references)? As far as I know, the collaboration was an eternally-persecuted crime (Russian: преступление, не имеющее срока давности).

Those alternative language placenames should be listed in the lead that are used in English texts (as such, for Chernivtsi the Romanian name is clearly relevant) and all names follow the native name in the alphabetic order of their languages (the native name goes first in any case). Don't delete names excessively and don't put the Russian name necessarily the second in order. RU follows PL and RO in the alphabet. Generally, make it a rule, I suggest, if you go to the article to correct Kyiv for Kiev or whatever name for another, do something else for the article too. If everyone does that, the revert wars over names will have a positive side effect. Regards, -- Irpen 22:50, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I left your revert of 230 feet to 70 meters alone, in the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral article. Please remember, however, many people in Great Britain, Canada, and the U.S., have difficulty with the metric system. We are slowly adapting to it. Since the article is in English Wikipedia, it didn't seem an inappropriate edit. As it stands, there's enough polemics involved in the article and talk pages, anyway. A liitle further down in the article, the 230 feet are mentioned again, so everybody can sleep better. Best wishes. Dr. Dan 19:32, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
I fixed the noinclude tag. Sorry about that. Circeus 17:32, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Здрям! Увидел, что ты поспешил эскиз путей АлСада сразу в статью поставить, я перерисовал то же самое в векторной графике (правда там русские буквы, могу сделать на выбор или без надписей или с английскими, если скажешь что и где написать.) И вообще прнимаются комментарии и пожелания. -- Morpheios Melas 10:32, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
On a different topic, how good are you in reading Ukrainian? I added several references to Kiev bridges and some of them are in Ukrainian. I am able to handle the hystoric part (I welcome help there too, of course) but in Civil Engineering I am totally dumb. Those "pylons", "towers", "caissons" are a mumbo-jumbo for me. Even in Russian I only know the word "бык" for the bridge supports. Will you be able to help? My goal is to bring it to a WP:Good article status and maybe some day we will make it WP:FAC and WP:FA. So, will you help? 134, your help is also appreciated. And the next project Dima and myself have in mind is Kiev tram. World peace! -- Irpen 19:47, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Please exclude "козел = goat", "дурень = dope", "дебил = moron", "заноза = splinter" from your dictionary [ref]. This what you were blocked for. But it seems like you don't see your incivil behaviour, as you questioned your first block [10], as well as this block [11].

I believe it would have been instructive to translate this article in English. As you know, I don't write on 20th-century history, but I believe you are up for the task. Too many Russophobes here try to whitewash or forget infamous pages of their history. -- Ghirla -трёп- 15:20, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello. As you do many edits in the articles related to Belarus, I would like to show you this article: Freedom for Belorussia (II). It seems strange, strangely named, written in bad English and as well the author of it seems to have posted much anti-Lukashenko rhetorics in the talk page of the article. Review it please; you probably know about the politics of Belarus more than I do. Burann 16:02, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
ell, the first one has no references, but it can be useful for re-checking. As for the second—whoa, thanks! It's the next best thing to this! I only wish I had enough time and skill to process these maps into something usable by Wikipedia. I now have one less reason to procrastinate with the Russian historical divisions project :)22:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Please take a look at the article. Formerly, the Romanians boasted here that it was they who took Plevna and that the Russian bereaved them of their victory. I added necessary tags, but now they inserted a Romanian text and claim that Russians "begged" them to help. I believe we should work out an accurate version on talk. -- Ghirla -трёп- 09:04, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi I'm douglasfrankfort, Nice to meet you! I'm dedicating myself in the history of Russia now (In Chinese Wiki, de facto.).

Hello there. Do you have any idea what could be done in order to make Irpen agree with the consensus we reached at the talk page? Every time I contacted him lately I was offended and spat on, so I doubt I could make him change his mind on my own. Any ideas? // Halibu tt 02:19, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Kuban Kazak, please understand that my remark ("move her page back") was directed at the original author of that name change. I also put a message on his talk page, and got a short reply on mine. I found out Turishcheva was the normal transcription independently when checking his figures (that it was LyudmiLa did not dawn on me at first), but of course I give you full credit for the correction. Thanks for the page changes there.
I am writing this because I now understand that if it WERE directed at you, it sounds very impolite. Sorry, but that was not my intention. Keep up the good work. User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy --pgp 14:13, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Seeing that you hold quite a bit of knowledge on Architecture then perhaps you would be able to give us some professional advice.
The argument is this: If an architect designs a structure (say a metro station) which includes political slogans and motives in the decoration (say Communist symbols). Then years later under polical reasons someone decides to remove them. Wouldn't that be a conflict with the original design of that sturucture, based on the architects plan? Perhaps you would like to comment on
Talk:Kiev Metro#Conflict vs alteration. Btw I love architecture as well, but I do lots of undergound articles i.e.

Hello could you take a look at the Talk:Georgy Zhukov page and add your opinion to the matter ( Deng 18:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC))
I didn't want to do that because a template cannot be as detailed as a separate article without becoming terribly overloaded. If you want to create such templates yourself, please go ahead—the [[Administrative divisions of...]] articles have all the information you'll need. Also, another reason I don't see it as a priority is that we have very few articles about raions, so such templates will for the most part be bright red.— Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • ( yo?); 20:06, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I have blocked you for 48 hours because of the things you said to Lupo. Frankly, I don't care about the whole template issue but your behaiviour was unacceptable. Do not ever call editors parasites or nazis or threaten them ever again. Period. There are civil ways to argue your case. When you come back, please remember that. You are free to argue your case but you cannot make attacks on other people. Thank you for your time. Sasquatch t| c 19:57, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

One more time, please control yourself. I support your defence of an important template but I did not and will not interfere with incivility blocks if you bring upon yourself
Also, why did you delete the funny entry from that fellow. I say keep it like I did so it is clear to all Wikipedians who they are dealing with but it is up to you of course to decide. I moved your post from WP:AN to WP:ANI where this belongs and commented there.
Please stay cool. Unfortunately, I have much non-Wikipedia stuff to do these days but I will be around. Regards, -- Irpen 19:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
I hope that this edit is an accident, not a deliberate attempt to prevent moving the article back. We all know that User:AndriyK was banned from Wikipedia among other things for the similar trick. Please ensure it would not happen again. abakharev 00:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Не скажешь же ты, что эти изменения, которые были там в течение месяца, внес кто-то другой? Я конечно понимаю, у каждого есть своя точка зрения, но все-таки когда пишешь статью можно же воспользоваться какими-либо дополнительными источниками, кроме мнения отдельных представителей РПЦ, православной энциклопедии и сайтов каких-то право-радикальных движений. При твоих-то способностях к языкам (user-en-5) можно было бы найти, что-либо более нейтральное. Да и в интернете существует масса нормальных нейтральных статей на эту тему в том числе на русском языке и на православных сайтах. Зачем выискивать всякую грязь и тащить ее на страницы Википедии. В этих нескольких абзацах, добавленных за последний месяц, столько неточностей, предвзятостей и ошибок, что, как мне кажется, лучше эти абзацы отбросить и начать писать все с чистого листа. -- Yakudza 15:41, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, despite your ... funny behaviour, I came here again with an editing issue. Please restyle this your edit in some way. This particular issue isn't about Russian POV-pushing, it's probably about your poor wording. I don't get WHO do you think were "pardoned" in 1955: German POWs taken by the Red Army, or opposite? And why do you think the "collaborators" were pardoned (supply references)? As far as I know, the collaboration was an eternally-persecuted crime (Russian: преступление, не имеющее срока давности). Must be some mistake... So please develop that sentence. Hope to change my opinion on you, AlexPU 12:07, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
