Я вас категорически приветствую. В русской вики вы спрятались от кого-то, так я сюда скину -- для вашего внимания. Не обижайтесь на Алексея, если он вас чем-то обидел не желая этого -- мы не всегда понимаем друг-друга смотря в глаза, а тут безэмоциональная переписка. Был бы у вас ICQ или е-mail указан, он бы давно с вами уже связался, тем более что вы работаете там же, где работала и Марина.)
По статье "Слон Батыр"; в старом тексте было указано как и почему возникли неточности в СМИ -- в новой редакции этого нет, но есть ссылки на те источники, которые вновь могут вызвать замешательство и конфликты с правками -- при сравнении информации, и, соответственно -- дальнейшее недоверие этому или иным источникам. Во время интервью "газетчикам" текст не записывался на магнитофон (их в то время у "журналистов" небыло) и статья писалась по памяти несколько позже. После интервью с Е.Белоусовой искажены её слова. Когда Е.Белоусова услышала голос с просьбой "попоить слона" и затем Батыр "попросил пить", журналистами написано как прямая речь животного, без уточнения конкретной фразы и слов, которые произносил Батыр. А фраза "вы поили слона" -- вообще из области фантастики. В статье "Парламентской газеты" 2002 года описаны события 1980 года, по памяти. Батыр никогда не говорил "буду" и "ещё", но произносил "да" и "дай". С.Пилюк вообще многого не говорила из того, что написано в прессе журналистами от её имени. А в первой публикации 1979 г., в газете "Индустриальная Караганда" корректорами добавлено "африканский житель", чего небыло написано в переданном мной тексте. Уже потом, после скандала и требования опровержений, статьи были переопубликованы в редакции Н.Рыжковой. Те же ошибки совершаутся и современными правками статей о фактах, "корректорам" неизвестных.
Слово "дурак" слоном было воспроизведено через 10 дней. Это к попытке научения его новым словам. Матерился он очень редко, но метко. Единожды, Батыр "послал" съёмочную группу редакции детско-молодёжный программ областного телевидения во главе с режиссёром и редактором, которые пытались записать его речь, но после мучительного ожидания (в течении часа) и после того как аппаратура была собрана, а съёмочная группа собиралась уходить, слон и послал их на "3 советские буквы". Восторг и ажиотаж были неописуемы. Камеры заработали вновь, но Батыр, как "партизан на допросе" -- как ни в чём не бывало прогуливался по вольеру и выпрашивая лакомства, отвлекался на посторонних. В тот день съёмка не увенчалась успехом.
Занятия со слоном были временно приостановлены по причине отсутствия исследователя, а после его возвращения было поздно. С приходом нового директора увеличилась коллекция зоопарка. У Батыра не стало персонального смотрителя -- со слоном перестали заниматься индивидуально и никто уже не разговаривал, поддерживая просьбы и его позывы пообщаться с людьми. Вода текла постоянно и ему уже небыло необходимости просить пить. Какой-то период он пытался говорить, а потом переходил на трубные позывные и лишь жалобно расхваливал себя, произнося своё имя, воды и хороший.
Никто не писал о том, что слон произносил слова именно в "ультразвуковом диапазоне". В тот период времени небыло возможности измерить частоту! Писалось, что "частенько слон произносил слова очень тихо, на уровне звука, издаваемого бытовыми или персональными ультразвуковыми приборами от москитов, или на уровне "писка" комаров". В это время слон стоял спокойно, головой в угол вольера и задом к посетителям, с опущенным (свисающим) хоботом и лишь его конец с пальцевидным отростком продолжал манипулировать, зажимая "нос" и сдерживая выдыхаемый воздух. Это было что-то странное и очень тихое -- между шёпотом и писком, но слышимое в непосредственной близости от слона: не далее полутора -- максимум, двух метров. При записи "речи" слона в указанном звуковом диапазоне, сопутствовала неудача: подойти ближе метра не представлялось возможным (да и слон отвлекался), а далеше этого расстояния -- звук сливался с шумами помещения и не улавливался даже человеческим слухом.
Необходимо заметить, что как и человек имеет своеобразный акцент при говоре на неродном языке, так и слон говорил со своеобразным звуковым тембром. Частота звуковой вибрации соответствовала мужскому голосу -- басу. Расшифровку голоса слона Батыра делали уже в МГУ на тех, старых допотопных приборах, которые были в то время.
Современные исследования продемонстрировали, что с возростом слух человека притерпевает изменения и после 40 лет многие частоты перестаёт отчётливо слышать или различать среди других звуков, по принципу чего одной из телефонных компаний был предложен звуковой сигнал телефона для детей с определённой звуковой частотой, не различимой взрослыми.
Говорить о простом звукоподражании не совсем верно. Слон именно просил воды, когда хотел пить; говорил "дай", когда выпрашивал что-либо и протягивания хобота не помогало; "выкрикивал" с озорством "ой-ой-ой", после того как нагадил в чистой клетке и добавил "плохой"; такт "раз-два-три" "наговаривал" пританцовывая; "Батыр" и "Батыр хороший" -- разгуливая и с интонацией нахваливания себя; произносил "я" только по отношению к себе и никогда к прохожим или сотрудникам; "посылал на хуй" только при случае и вовремя; начал звать "ба-ба" после того, как за ним стала ухаживать пожилая женщина, но не себя... Он не бубнил как попугай "Кто там?" при стуке по дереву. Писк, свист, лай, скрежет и трубные звуки -- не речь, и воспроизводились периодически.
А то, что нет публикаций в роснаучных журналах -- скажите "спасибо" серьёзным представителям МГУ. Ещё профессору К.Фабри были переданы первые записи и материалы, а потом и другим сотрудникам. А Дроздов только плечами пожал, когда у него дома завели тему о слоне. (Если бы не "несерьёзные учёные", как упомянули некоторые "журналюги", то и того, что есть сейчас, небыло бы).
"Пожар и стресс" (пр. Силаевой) -- не при делах и к слону не имеет совершенно никакого отношения. Его небыло в горевшем зимнем помещении.
"Вёдра водки и коньяка" (пр. СМИ) -- пьяный бред и вымысел журналистов. Зимой и только в сильные морозы, Батыру давали "Когор" -- лёгкое красное виноградное вино в подогретом виде, которое дают даже детям при простуде.
На момент привоза Батыра в Карагандинский зоопарк, "тесной" (пр. СМИ) его клетка не была. Загон, состоящий из двух отделений, был построен по проекту и рекомендационным нормам того времени (как и студия или однокомнатная квартира для человека). Но (к сожалению) времена меняются, а "нормы" остаются прежними. Со временем слон вырос и ему был выстроен большой летний загон на новой территории. Слоны растут постоянно (в отличие от человека) и проход между помещением и вольером стал маленьким. Однако, говорить о том, что слон сломал бивень из-за маленьких размеров клетки -- не верно. И в природе слоны часто ломают бивни.
По поводу же "звукоподражания" и "речи", а также доверия или недоверия феномену -- очень жаль, что многие до сих пор подгоняют общепринятые и общеизвестные понятия заблуждений старой формации к новым открытиям и явно-существующим фактам.
Более 25 лет тому назад требовали "повторяемости в науке", для того что бы поверить своим собственным ушам, а теперь будем ждать ещё лет 50, что бы принять факт того, что животные-таки разумны и могут научиться говорить с человеком осознанно. Всё зависит от учителя и ученика: ребёнок среди волков по-волчьи воет, а слон (или горилла) среди людей, с ними же и разговаривает.
Ps: Для цепляющихся за слова русского языка необходимо заметить, что "писк" комаров -- ультразвуковые колебания, издаваемый крыльями насекомого во время полёта.

Hello!
Just wondering...why did you remove the "bg:Бандерол" link from the "tax Stamp" article? a Banderol is a tax stamp in Bulgarian - it's what gets put on cigarettes and bottles etc... Although Russian words Фискальная марка and Бандероль - and you also have Гербовая марка - all seem to translate into English as "Revenue/Tax stamp", in Bulgarian, "Бандерол" (for fags/booze, anyway) is the English "tax stamp". (and the english word "banderole" is completely different). returned the link - looking forward to your thoughts on the matter, you can answer here if you want. Ta! 62.176.111.68 ( talk) 11:29, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
ps. due to this double meaning of the word, we could put a double language link on some articles, like you've done on the Bulgarian article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.176.111.68 ( talk) 11:35, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
pps...wow...i've only just seen how many interlanguage links you've moved around (and especially how many you've erased from the BG article) - i have to ask you - are you 110% sure that you know what you've done? are you 110% sure that in none of these languages there is not a double meaning of these words that overlaps/covers both topics (eg. like the fact that in Eng "tax stamp" covers all these topics)? By removing the links, if you are wrong, then you're messing up quite a bit of other peoples' work - please consider this and return all of the changes you are not sure about (by all means, in the BG article for example, leave both the old ones and your new additions...but please return the old ones for now) - i won't touch any of your edits for now, since you know what you've done, so it's up to you to try and fix it - as for the BG link in the English article - you weren't right to remove it, hence why i've returned it. Thanx again, and waiting for your reply. Nic. 62.176.111.68 ( talk) 12:03, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
To be frank, I stridently object to any such change concerning the Orloff breed. Wikipedia rests solely on verifiability per the available source material (not the word of individual experts) and all the English language books from this century do not say that the breed is Russian. Percy may not be a scientist, but she isn't the central source to assert a Persian origin for the breed. Her book is simply the only one available in full on the web, which is why I linked it. The newer and much more reliable book written by Carol Ekarius (a respected author on poultry and livestock in the U.S.) even more strongly asserts that the breed was only popularized in Russia. Ekarius worked with the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and the SPPA in writing her work on poultry breeds, and it very clearly states that the Orloff was not developed in Russia. In terms of Wikipedia policy, unless you can find multiple published sources that contradict what the sources already used in the article have say, then any such change is totally inapppropriate.

Have several dozen photo images of stamp issues from the former Soviet Union and am wondering if they are in the public domain since the U.S.S.R. is no longer a national entity. I need to know which upload procedure is required so I can display these images in a philatelic article. Had no luck finding the correct selections at Wiki'commons. The image of the Soviet stamp on the Soviet space exploration history on Soviet stamps page has on its description page info' regarding 'no copyright' per 'Civil Code, Russian Federation, etc. Need to know how this info' is included in the upload procedure.

I have another question for you, I've been trying to track down the Chairmens of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, e.g. the Chairman of the parliament and not the chairman of the presidium, and i'm not finding anything on English sources. Seeing that all Soviet Republics had a chairman of the Supreme Soviet, such as the List of Chairmen of the Supreme Soviet of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic, did the Supreme Soviet have one too?

As always I have another question for you; did the post of First Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars exist between 1935–1941? From 1935 to 1941 Valerian Kuibyshev held the post, and Nikolai Voznesensky and Vyacheslav Molotov held the post from 1941.

Hey yet again; Can you help translate this text for me... You don't need to translate the whole text, but only the part about Suslov's wife... And you don't need to translate it but give a short summary of her life. -- TIAYN ( talk) 06:17, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Yelizaveta Alexandrovna Suslova (1903-1972) was the wife of Mikhail Andreyevich Suslov. She was Director of the Moscow Institute for Stomatology. In her life, she badly suffered from internal diseases, especially diabetes in a severe form, but ignored recommendations of her physicians. Once, Bernard Lown, M.D. was requested to see her in the Kremlin Hospital. It was one of the first cases when a famous foreign doctor was invited to visit the Kremlin Hospital. Mikhail Suslov expressed his gratitude for the Lown's help by passing the guest his book with his own autograph, but avoided to meet Lawn in person because Lawn was a representative of an "imperialistic" country. Yelizaveta Suslova was fictionally shown in a novel by Ivan Shevtsov ( ru:Шевцов, Иван Михайлович), Nabat (Alarm), as a Director of a medical institution, Yelizaveta Ilyinichna, who was the wife of a major Soviet politician, Miron Andreyevich Serov, and patronized Zionists.

Во время интервью "газетчикам" текст не записывался на магнитофон (их в то время у "журналистов" небыло) и статья писалась по памяти несколько позже. После интервью с Е.Белоусовой искажены её слова. Когда Е.Белоусова услышала голос с просьбой "попоить слона" и затем Батыр "попросил пить", журналистами написано как прямая речь животного, без уточнения конкретной фразы и слов, которые произносил Батыр. А фраза "вы поили слона" -- вообще из области фантастики. В статье "Парламентской газеты" 2002 года описаны события 1980 года, по памяти. Батыр никогда не говорил "буду" и "ещё", но произносил "да" и "дай". С.Пилюк вообще многого не говорила из того, что написано в прессе журналистами от её имени. А в первой публикации 1979 г., в газете "Индустриальная Караганда" корректорами добавлено "африканский житель", чего небыло написано в переданном мной тексте. Уже потом, после скандала и требования опровержений, статьи были переопубликованы в редакции Н.Рыжковой. Те же ошибки совершаутся и современными правками статей о фактах, "корректорам" неизвестных.
Слово "дурак" слоном было воспроизведено через 10 дней. Это к попытке научения его новым словам. Матерился он очень редко, но метко. Единожды, Батыр "послал" съёмочную группу редакции детско-молодёжный программ областного телевидения во главе с режиссёром и редактором, которые пытались записать его речь, но после мучительного ожидания (в течении часа) и после того как аппаратура была собрана, а съёмочная группа собиралась уходить, слон и послал их на "3 советские буквы". Восторг и ажиотаж были неописуемы. Камеры заработали вновь, но Батыр, как "партизан на допросе" -- как ни в чём не бывало прогуливался по вольеру и выпрашивая лакомства, отвлекался на посторонних. В тот день съёмка не увенчалась успехом.
Занятия со слоном были временно приостановлены по причине отсутствия исследователя, а после его возвращения было поздно. С приходом нового директора увеличилась коллекция зоопарка. У Батыра не стало персонального смотрителя -- со слоном перестали заниматься индивидуально и никто уже не разговаривал, поддерживая просьбы и его позывы пообщаться с людьми. Вода текла постоянно и ему уже небыло необходимости просить пить. Какой-то период он пытался говорить, а потом переходил на трубные позывные и лишь жалобно расхваливал себя, произнося своё имя, воды и хороший.
Никто не писал о том, что слон произносил слова именно в "ультразвуковом диапазоне". В тот период времени небыло возможности измерить частоту! Писалось, что "частенько слон произносил слова очень тихо, на уровне звука, издаваемого бытовыми или персональными ультразвуковыми приборами от москитов, или на уровне "писка" комаров". В это время слон стоял спокойно, головой в угол вольера и задом к посетителям, с опущенным (свисающим) хоботом и лишь его конец с пальцевидным отростком продолжал манипулировать, зажимая "нос" и сдерживая выдыхаемый воздух. Это было что-то странное и очень тихое -- между шёпотом и писком, но слышимое в непосредственной близости от слона: не далее полутора -- максимум, двух метров. При записи "речи" слона в указанном звуковом диапазоне, сопутствовала неудача: подойти ближе метра не представлялось возможным (да и слон отвлекался), а далеше этого расстояния -- звук сливался с шумами помещения и не улавливался даже человеческим слухом.
Необходимо заметить, что как и человек имеет своеобразный акцент при говоре на неродном языке, так и слон говорил со своеобразным звуковым тембром. Частота звуковой вибрации соответствовала мужскому голосу -- басу. Расшифровку голоса слона Батыра делали уже в МГУ на тех, старых допотопных приборах, которые были в то время.
Современные исследования продемонстрировали, что с возростом слух человека притерпевает изменения и после 40 лет многие частоты перестаёт отчётливо слышать или различать среди других звуков, по принципу чего одной из телефонных компаний был предложен звуковой сигнал телефона для детей с определённой звуковой частотой, не различимой взрослыми.
Говорить о простом звукоподражании не совсем верно. Слон именно просил воды, когда хотел пить; говорил "дай", когда выпрашивал что-либо и протягивания хобота не помогало; "выкрикивал" с озорством "ой-ой-ой", после того как нагадил в чистой клетке и добавил "плохой"; такт "раз-два-три" "наговаривал" пританцовывая; "Батыр" и "Батыр хороший" -- разгуливая и с интонацией нахваливания себя; произносил "я" только по отношению к себе и никогда к прохожим или сотрудникам; "посылал на хуй" только при случае и вовремя; начал звать "ба-ба" после того, как за ним стала ухаживать пожилая женщина, но не себя... Он не бубнил как попугай "Кто там?" при стуке по дереву. Писк, свист, лай, скрежет и трубные звуки -- не речь, и воспроизводились периодически.
А то, что нет публикаций в роснаучных журналах -- скажите "спасибо" серьёзным представителям МГУ. Ещё профессору К.Фабри были переданы первые записи и материалы, а потом и другим сотрудникам. А Дроздов только плечами пожал, когда у него дома завели тему о слоне. (Если бы не "несерьёзные учёные", как упомянули некоторые "журналюги", то и того, что есть сейчас, небыло бы).
"Пожар и стресс" (пр. Силаевой) -- не при делах и к слону не имеет совершенно никакого отношения. Его небыло в горевшем зимнем помещении.
"Вёдра водки и коньяка" (пр. СМИ) -- пьяный бред и вымысел журналистов. Зимой и только в сильные морозы, Батыру давали "Когор" -- лёгкое красное виноградное вино в подогретом виде, которое дают даже детям при простуде.
На момент привоза Батыра в Карагандинский зоопарк, "тесной" (пр. СМИ) его клетка не была. Загон, состоящий из двух отделений, был построен по проекту и рекомендационным нормам того времени (как и студия или однокомнатная квартира для человека). Но (к сожалению) времена меняются, а "нормы" остаются прежними. Со временем слон вырос и ему был выстроен большой летний загон на новой территории. Слоны растут постоянно (в отличие от человека) и проход между помещением и вольером стал маленьким. Однако, говорить о том, что слон сломал бивень из-за маленьких размеров клетки -- не верно. И в природе слоны часто ломают бивни.
По поводу же "звукоподражания" и "речи", а также доверия или недоверия феномену -- очень жаль, что многие до сих пор подгоняют общепринятые и общеизвестные понятия заблуждений старой формации к новым открытиям и явно-существующим фактам.
Более 25 лет тому назад требовали "повторяемости в науке", для того что бы поверить своим собственным ушам, а теперь будем ждать ещё лет 50, что бы принять факт того, что животные-таки разумны и могут научиться говорить с человеком осознанно. Всё зависит от учителя и ученика: ребёнок среди волков по-волчьи воет, а слон (или горилла) среди людей, с ними же и разговаривает.
Ps: Для цепляющихся за слова русского языка необходимо заметить, что "писк" комаров -- ультразвуковые колебания, издаваемый крыльями насекомого во время полёта.

Hello!
Just wondering...why did you remove the "bg:Бандерол" link from the "tax Stamp" article? a Banderol is a tax stamp in Bulgarian - it's what gets put on cigarettes and bottles etc... Although Russian words Фискальная марка and Бандероль - and you also have Гербовая марка - all seem to translate into English as "Revenue/Tax stamp", in Bulgarian, "Бандерол" (for fags/booze, anyway) is the English "tax stamp". (and the english word "banderole" is completely different). returned the link - looking forward to your thoughts on the matter, you can answer here if you want. Ta! 62.176.111.68 ( talk) 11:29, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
ps. due to this double meaning of the word, we could put a double language link on some articles, like you've done on the Bulgarian article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.176.111.68 ( talk) 11:35, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
pps...wow...i've only just seen how many interlanguage links you've moved around (and especially how many you've erased from the BG article) - i have to ask you - are you 110% sure that you know what you've done? are you 110% sure that in none of these languages there is not a double meaning of these words that overlaps/covers both topics (eg. like the fact that in Eng "tax stamp" covers all these topics)? By removing the links, if you are wrong, then you're messing up quite a bit of other peoples' work - please consider this and return all of the changes you are not sure about (by all means, in the BG article for example, leave both the old ones and your new additions...but please return the old ones for now) - i won't touch any of your edits for now, since you know what you've done, so it's up to you to try and fix it - as for the BG link in the English article - you weren't right to remove it, hence why i've returned it. Thanx again, and waiting for your reply. Nic. 62.176.111.68 ( talk) 12:03, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
To be frank, I stridently object to any such change concerning the Orloff breed. Wikipedia rests solely on verifiability per the available source material (not the word of individual experts) and all the English language books from this century do not say that the breed is Russian. Percy may not be a scientist, but she isn't the central source to assert a Persian origin for the breed. Her book is simply the only one available in full on the web, which is why I linked it. The newer and much more reliable book written by Carol Ekarius (a respected author on poultry and livestock in the U.S.) even more strongly asserts that the breed was only popularized in Russia. Ekarius worked with the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy and the SPPA in writing her work on poultry breeds, and it very clearly states that the Orloff was not developed in Russia. In terms of Wikipedia policy, unless you can find multiple published sources that contradict what the sources already used in the article have say, then any such change is totally inapppropriate.

Have several dozen photo images of stamp issues from the former Soviet Union and am wondering if they are in the public domain since the U.S.S.R. is no longer a national entity. I need to know which upload procedure is required so I can display these images in a philatelic article. Had no luck finding the correct selections at Wiki'commons. The image of the Soviet stamp on the Soviet space exploration history on Soviet stamps page has on its description page info' regarding 'no copyright' per 'Civil Code, Russian Federation, etc. Need to know how this info' is included in the upload procedure.

Yelizaveta Alexandrovna Suslova (1903-1972) was the wife of Mikhail Andreyevich Suslov. She was Director of the Moscow Institute for Stomatology. In her life, she badly suffered from internal diseases, especially diabetes in a severe form, but ignored recommendations of her physicians. Once, Bernard Lown, M.D. was requested to see her in the Kremlin Hospital. It was one of the first cases when a famous foreign doctor was invited to visit the Kremlin Hospital. Mikhail Suslov expressed his gratitude for the Lown's help by passing the guest his book with his own autograph, but avoided to meet Lawn in person because Lawn was a representative of an "imperialistic" country. Yelizaveta Suslova was fictionally shown in a novel by Ivan Shevtsov ( ru:Шевцов, Иван Михайлович), Nabat (Alarm), as a Director of a medical institution, Yelizaveta Ilyinichna, who was the wife of a major Soviet politician, Miron Andreyevich Serov, and patronized Zionists.
