First of all, please do not delete text from your user talk page. It's considered bad form, as it looks like you're trying to hide criticism. (See Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes.)
I always delete discussed topics. No need to show old information-- Nixer 07:35, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Secondly, please stop reverting Proto-Indo-European language back to the version most recently edited by you. There have been many additions and changes made in the meantime that have no bearing on the issue of the reconstructed texts, and when you do a simple revert, all of those changes get lost.
Ok, I will merge all the additions.-- Nixer 07:35, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
As for including the reconstructed texts, if you read the talk page, you will see that there is broad consensus among the page's editors that reconstructed texts should be kept to an absolute minimum -- Schleicher's fable and the "King and Varuna" story at most (many people don't even want those). I understand that you want to have more texts than that, but Wikipedia works by consensus: everyone has to agree on a change (or rather, there should be no overt objections to a change) before it can stand in the article. In the case of the reconstructions, there are now several overt objections to them. Please understand that this means they will not be accepted, and stop trying to put them back. Thanks. -- Angr/ tɔk tə mi 06:31, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Those who havent any knowledge of the language need these samples to feel what it was like. Those, who already knows, in fact do not need the samples. They even do not need the article at all.-- Nixer 07:35, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Without the text examples the whole article is obsolete - samples give more to imagine the language than any other information in the article, even if it is scientifically correct.-- Nixer 07:40, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
I will continually add the samples and revert your deletions.-- Nixer 07:36, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Nixer, we have a discussion, and a consensus, on the matter on the talkpage. If you keep adding your stuff, you will be blocked for violation of WP:3RR. dab (ᛏ) 07:57, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
You can not call it "consensus" without me agreed - just "majority" at most. I will revert it later. -- Nixer 08:00, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Nixer, your reversions today removed all the improvements over the last two days. I thought you agreed with Angr not to do that.
And why do you insist on having your own version of the numbers? The main difference in your version is in spelling conventions: Your version uses qu where the rest of the article uses kw, c where the article uses ḱ and v where the rest of the article uses w. The spelling conventions used in the rest of the article follow the usage in modern books on PIE. I find your spellings confusing.
Also why do you insist on copying examples into the article? I agree with you that examples are useful. But why not link to them where they are already located on the web? You agreed that cicrm.access.telecore.net.ru was the correct source for several of your examples. So why not just link to them there?
You objected to www.christusrex.org as a source of the Christian prayers; so where did you find them? Add a link to some other web address that you prefer. (Frankly I think it is silly to translate Christian prayers to PIE, for PIE went extinct long before the beginning of Christianity.) -- teb728 06:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
Nixer, your stubborn edit warring will not do. There is a clear consensus against you, and you have not managed to even explain what you think is wrong. You have been warned about breaking WP:3RR before. I am blocking you for 3RR violation for two hours to show that we are serious about this. If you continue to edit war, your blocks will become longer. dab (ᛏ) 11:32, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
The exact taxonomy of TNOs is still quite fuzzy, but there is a general sense that the Kuiper belt is a discrete area that ends at about 49 AU out (I've read some sorces pegging it at 44, though that would exclude cubewanos like (55565) 2002 AW197)—hence references to the as-of-yet unexplanined "Kuiper cliff." While SDOs may cruise through the KB for brief portions of their orbital period, they swing way out in wonky orbits that makes the whole scattered disc a very, very large area (if we consider Sedna an SDO, it stretches out to over 1000 AU). In other words, the scattered disc is a not a subregion of the Kuiper belt, even though their member objects probably share a lot of similarities - The Tom 19:47, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
You are removing established text and rendering the Global City article poorer. Make clear that GaWC is not the be all and end all of the discussion but cease removing text. This qualifies as vandalism to my mind. Marskell 10:17, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

By the way, Nixer, I suggest we refrain from making edits to this article, and retaliatory edits to the Toronto article, et al. as a request for mediation has been initiated regarding this. Other parties are free to comment
Thanks! E Pluribus Anthony 19:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi there, Nixer. I'm Catherine, you might or might not have seen me around here the last couple of years; I'm generally a quiet toiler-in-corners. I've agreed to try mediating on the Global city article -- thanks to both of you for taking the first steps to restrain yourselves. I'm not here to choose sides or "fix" the article, I'm just here to help you two clarify your goals, talk to each other about your edits, and find a solution that satisfies both of you. Do you agree to participate? — Catherine\ talk 00:43, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
I said this on the talk page and I'll say it here: start a user page. User:Nixer/Global city additions for instance. Leave the actual article for a few days or a week. Work on the user page, adding things you think are useful. Find sources. I'll help! Honestly, there is no problem with expanding the article, it just can't be done ad-hoc.
And to be absolutely clear, I have not moved Toronto up. While dealing with your edits, I have simultaneously dealt with a very f***ing annoying user who keeps moving T.O. up. Marskell 01:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
I see you have uploaded a number of images which have usage terms allowing only non-commercial use. Those terms are incompatible with the GFDL, and therefore unacceptable for Wikipedia, and the images are therefore subject to speedy deletion: [1]. Though I agree they were nice images... Thue | talk 20:13, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
Nixer, your images were deleted because Wikipedia does not allow "used with permission" and "non-commercial use images". These kinds of images are elegible for speedy deletion without warning. Alr 21:19, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
User:Ingoolemo/Threads/05/10/2a
Hi there Nixer,
With your recent edition of the Moscow article, were you trying to add some of the images while removing others? also, you reverted some of the recent edits. I just did a little editing and I am not sure why my edition wasn't favored :) or was it removed by mistake; either way may be OK... but just thought I'd ask. Also, a few images do not exist apparently - are you planning on having them restored in the near future? It's a shame to see fine images deleted but it's kind of not looking so good when the major article like this shows quite a few blank placeholders or red image links... What's your thought? Regards - Introvert talk 01:11, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, it's pretty obvious that the USSR and Nazi Germany were allied. They signed treaties, they cooperated militarily against Poland, they divided up central Europe between themselves and they started close economical cooperation. It might be sad to know to Russians, but that's how it was. Halibu tt 02:09, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

how dense can you be Nixer? You removed the statement of Starostin towards his own reconstruction, and you removed the qualification of Starostin's "major branches", as described on their own articles, and you call your version "NPOV"? Have you even read WP:NPOV, or do you use the term as empty jargon for "my version"? Please, go back to the Russian Wikipedia, where you are at least able to follow discussions. Likewise, I will not blunder on Russian articles, making wild and incoherent claims in my broken Russian, deal? dab (ᛏ) 20:27, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
You reverted six times in 24h on Proto-World language ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and I'm blocking you for two days. You have to learn that just pushing your changes gets you nowhere at all. This time you didn't make a single edit to the talkpage, you just kept crying for others to explain on the talkpage why they rejected your edit. dab (ᛏ) 09:56, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
I have corrected mistakes. You're reverting. For example, there can not be Russian village "Поганкино" and "Бурянск". Proper names are Паганкино and Бурьянск. I guess, do you know Russian?-- Nixer 08:33, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
призывает common use. Во-вторых, транслитерация английского на русский—это совсем другая тема (о которой, кстати, в английской википедии нет статьи, и которую ты мог бы написать, если есть знания и желание). Тот же русский на немецкий или французский, например, транслитерируется совсем по-другому, нежели на английский.
By the way, your most recent revert undid most of my corrections (real ones this time). You also broke the three-revert rule, with which, as I see it from your previous discussions, you should be familiar by now. Please do no such thing in future. I'll let it slide for now. Please also be careful with what you call vandalism. "Vandalism" would be replacing the content of the article with something like "my penis is bigger than yours hahaha". I seriously doubt that what I did falls under that definition.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Nixer, allow me to say a word here. The last thing we need in the Russian-speaking community here is calling each other names. By no means I suggest that the Russian editors should edit in sync, vote in sync, revert war in teams, etc., like some other editors do.
We all are interested in a better encyclopedia and not in the pro-Russian POV being spread around. Also, we do not need to create "teams" to take a stand against Russophobia spread in some national historiographies, because when it makes to Wikipedia articles, there is no need to conspire to fight it. It is rathe rself-evident.
Lets just stay friendly, disagree peaceably and be courtious.
BTW, I am not Russian but a Ukrainian. That said, I am first to oppose the trolls that happen to be my comatriots.
Счастливо,

I replied to your comments on my talk page. After having about five edit conflicts, I kind of lost track what I already cross-posted on your talk page and what was new. Since the thread is rather long, I also decided against cross-posting it here as to not overwhelm your talk page. You are welcome to examine my replies with this diff. If you intend to reply, please start a new thread. Thanks.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I refuse to continue this discussion until you start paying attention to what I write to you in response. If you intend to ignore my responses, why bother with this discussion at all? Please refer back to my responses about 1. common use; 2. right to choose spelling of one's own name; and 3. current transliteration policy being a representation of existing practices. All I insist on is that current policies are followed—they did not appear out of thin air, you know. If you do not like a particular policy, feel free to voice your concern in an appropriate place (hint: it's not my talk page). Which reminds me of 4. invitations to participate in policy revision discussions.
Should you have any questions I have not previously addressed, please feel free to ask me then.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 21:18, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Where do you get off calling my edits vandalism? [3] First of all, read what vandalism means. Next, your dozens of edits with no edit summaries are against wikipedia policy; it's especially rude to do that when you revert other users' changes. If you have a problem with my contributions or fail to understand them, indicate what it is in the edit summary, or explain in discussion. Don't just call me a vandal and revert. While you're at it, read Wikipedia:Civility. — Michael Z. 2005-12-19 21:48 Z

Your edits of my work regarding gasoline are factually incorrect and I ask you to revert the edit. I am not sure why you labelled it 'valdalism'.

You've apparently spent much of today turning the Thermal energy page into a Warmal inwork page containing essentially the same contents, but written entirely in terms you just made up.

Please stop reverting this page. Wikipedia policy is quite clear that common names are to be preferred, and you have been reverted by more than one user. - SimonP 03:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Dear Nixer. I've noticed your massive work on the Moscow Metro articles, changing spelling to a different romanization system (which, unfortunately, is unknown to me). Please note that making unilateral changes on such a massive scale without prior discussion is usually frowned upon in Wikipedia and is generally considered to be disruptive. Please also note that your edits violate current Wikipedia Russian language naming conventions. However, since that policy is currently under discussion/revision, I am not going to undo your changes unless I happen to work on the articles affected by your actions. I will, however, bring your behavior to attention of other editors, who may or may not choose other course of action. I also strongly recommend that you bring your proposed changes to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Cyrillic). If you continue making massive changes without obtaining prior community consensus, I will have to resort to stricter measures.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 21:08, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
You could discuss just on one page, since the motivation of the moves are related. Once you achieve consensus with others, we will move all articles together (or not move them). if you don't want to discuss, list them at WP:RM but don't just "move" them. -- Irpen 21:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Хочу поставить вопрос о нормальной русской транслитерации. Подскажите, как это правильно сделать, чтобы не вызывать раздражение?-- Nixer 00:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
First of all, you must clearly state the goal. Then you have to discuss the drawbacks of the existing systems. Then it is to be decided whether it is worth hassle to replace the existing one: these English will not read it correctly anyway. You must also get yourself familiar with wikipedia:Naming conventions; the main issue here is preference of traditional English spelling before any translit schemes, whatever smart. You will never make them have Moskva. The proper place to do this is Talk:Romanization of Russian. BTW, I hope you understand the difference between transliteration and transcription. mikka (t) 00:38, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
You can checked that you are unblocked [4]. But don't inflame anyone anymore. Pretty please with sugar on top. -- Irpen 01:05, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Please stop editing Moscow as if it were your own talkpage. This is an important article, and opinions of other editors should be taken into account. If you continue editing this and other articles in an unconstructive style, I will have to start a RfC against you, and I'm sure that many other editors will join. I reverted your addition of the Ostankino Tower image to the 14th-century history section about five times now. You still didn't explain how Ostankino Tower is relevant to Dmitry Donskoy and Ivan Kalita. As an aside, I have strong doubts that high-quality images uploaded by you are free as you claim.

Hi, Nixer. Just wanted to give you a friendly piece of advice—when you edit, please use the "Show preview button" (it's located right next to the "Save page" button under the edit summary box). What it does is to show you the version of the page you are about to save, so you can review it and make additional changes if necessary before the page is actually saved. When you are done with all your edits, then save the page. Making multiple (often minor) edits one after another both clutters the page history and wastes Wikipedia storage space (every time an edit is made, a new copy of the article is saved, so if you, for example, make 20 edits to the Moscow article, 20 separate copies are saved). It's OK to occasionally have to edit a page several times in a row, but when done systematically it hurts Wikipedia more than it benefits it.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 22:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
You changed Trotskyite to Trotskist (sic) on the Stalin page, in a quote by Stalin. Stalin used the term "Trotskyite" as a deliberate "slur". Changing it to "Trotskyist" is to change the word that Stalin quite deliberately used.

First of all, please do not delete text from your user talk page. It's considered bad form, as it looks like you're trying to hide criticism. (See Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes.)
I always delete discussed topics. No need to show old information-- Nixer 07:35, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
Secondly, please stop reverting Proto-Indo-European language back to the version most recently edited by you. There have been many additions and changes made in the meantime that have no bearing on the issue of the reconstructed texts, and when you do a simple revert, all of those changes get lost.
Ok, I will merge all the additions.-- Nixer 07:35, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
As for including the reconstructed texts, if you read the talk page, you will see that there is broad consensus among the page's editors that reconstructed texts should be kept to an absolute minimum -- Schleicher's fable and the "King and Varuna" story at most (many people don't even want those). I understand that you want to have more texts than that, but Wikipedia works by consensus: everyone has to agree on a change (or rather, there should be no overt objections to a change) before it can stand in the article.

Nixer, your reversions today removed all the improvements over the last two days. I thought you agreed with Angr not to do that.
And why do you insist on having your own version of the numbers? The main difference in your version is in spelling conventions: Your version uses qu where the rest of the article uses kw, c where the article uses ḱ and v where the rest of the article uses w. The spelling conventions used in the rest of the article follow the usage in modern books on PIE. I find your spellings confusing.
Also why do you insist on copying examples into the article? I agree with you that examples are useful. But why not link to them where they are already located on the web? You agreed that cicrm.access.telecore.net.ru was the correct source for several of your examples. So why not just link to them there?
You objected to www.christusrex.org as a source of the Christian prayers; so where did you find them? Add a link to some other web address that you prefer. (Frankly I think it is silly to translate Christian prayers to PIE, for PIE went extinct long before the beginning of Christianity.) -- teb728 06:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

The exact taxonomy of TNOs is still quite fuzzy, but there is a general sense that the Kuiper belt is a discrete area that ends at about 49 AU out (I've read some sorces pegging it at 44, though that would exclude cubewanos like (55565) 2002 AW197)—hence references to the as-of-yet unexplanined "Kuiper cliff." While SDOs may cruise through the KB for brief portions of their orbital period, they swing way out in wonky orbits that makes the whole scattered disc a very, very large area (if we consider Sedna an SDO, it stretches out to over 1000 AU). In other words, the scattered disc is a not a subregion of the Kuiper belt, even though their member objects probably share a lot of similarities - The Tom 19:47, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
You are removing established text and rendering the Global City article poorer. Make clear that GaWC is not the be all and end all of the discussion but cease removing text. This qualifies as vandalism to my mind. Marskell 10:17, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
You've been blocked for violating the WP:3RR on Global city. You're welcome to return once your block expires, but when you do please use our dispute resolution methods instead of edit warring. -- fvw * 02:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
By the way, Nixer, I suggest we refrain from making edits to this article, and retaliatory edits to the Toronto article, et al. as a request for mediation has been initiated regarding this. Other parties are free to comment
Thanks! E Pluribus Anthony 19:08, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi there, Nixer. I'm Catherine, you might or might not have seen me around here the last couple of years; I'm generally a quiet toiler-in-corners. I've agreed to try mediating on the Global city article -- thanks to both of you for taking the first steps to restrain yourselves. I'm not here to choose sides or "fix" the article, I'm just here to help you two clarify your goals, talk to each other about your edits, and find a solution that satisfies both of you. Do you agree to participate? — Catherine\ talk 00:43, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
I said this on the talk page and I'll say it here: start a user page. User:Nixer/Global city additions for instance. Leave the actual article for a few days or a week. Work on the user page, adding things you think are useful. Find sources. I'll help! Honestly, there is no problem with expanding the article, it just can't be done ad-hoc.
And to be absolutely clear, I have not moved Toronto up. While dealing with your edits, I have simultaneously dealt with a very f***ing annoying user who keeps moving T.O. up. Marskell 01:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
I see you have uploaded a number of images which have usage terms allowing only non-commercial use. Those terms are incompatible with the GFDL, and therefore unacceptable for Wikipedia, and the images are therefore subject to speedy deletion: [1]. Though I agree they were nice images... Thue | talk 20:13, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
Nixer, your images were deleted because Wikipedia does not allow "used with permission" and "non-commercial use images". These kinds of images are elegible for speedy deletion without warning. Alr 21:19, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi there Nixer,
With your recent edition of the Moscow article, were you trying to add some of the images while removing others? also, you reverted some of the recent edits. I just did a little editing and I am not sure why my edition wasn't favored :) or was it removed by mistake; either way may be OK... but just thought I'd ask. Also, a few images do not exist apparently - are you planning on having them restored in the near future? It's a shame to see fine images deleted but it's kind of not looking so good when the major article like this shows quite a few blank placeholders or red image links... What's your thought? Regards - Introvert talk 01:11, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, it's pretty obvious that the USSR and Nazi Germany were allied. They signed treaties, they cooperated militarily against Poland, they divided up central Europe between themselves and they started close economical cooperation. It might be sad to know to Russians, but that's how it was. Halibu tt 02:09, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

how dense can you be Nixer? You removed the statement of Starostin towards his own reconstruction, and you removed the qualification of Starostin's "major branches", as described on their own articles, and you call your version "NPOV"? Have you even read WP:NPOV, or do you use the term as empty jargon for "my version"? Please, go back to the Russian Wikipedia, where you are at least able to follow discussions. Likewise, I will not blunder on Russian articles, making wild and incoherent claims in my broken Russian, deal? dab (ᛏ) 20:27, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
You reverted six times in 24h on Proto-World language ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and I'm blocking you for two days. You have to learn that just pushing your changes gets you nowhere at all. This time you didn't make a single edit to the talkpage, you just kept crying for others to explain on the talkpage why they rejected your edit. dab (ᛏ) 09:56, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
I have corrected mistakes. You're reverting. For example, there can not be Russian village "Поганкино" and "Бурянск". Proper names are Паганкино and Бурьянск. I guess, do you know Russian?-- Nixer 08:33, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
призывает common use. Во-вторых, транслитерация английского на русский—это совсем другая тема (о которой, кстати, в английской википедии нет статьи, и которую ты мог бы написать, если есть знания и желание). Тот же русский на немецкий или французский, например, транслитерируется совсем по-другому, нежели на английский.
By the way, your most recent revert undid most of my corrections (real ones this time). You also broke the three-revert rule, with which, as I see it from your previous discussions, you should be familiar by now. Please do no such thing in future. I'll let it slide for now. Please also be careful with what you call vandalism. "Vandalism" would be replacing the content of the article with something like "my penis is bigger than yours hahaha". I seriously doubt that what I did falls under that definition.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Nixer, allow me to say a word here. The last thing we need in the Russian-speaking community here is calling each other names. By no means I suggest that the Russian editors should edit in sync, vote in sync, revert war in teams, etc., like some other editors do.
We all are interested in a better encyclopedia and not in the pro-Russian POV being spread around. Also, we do not need to create "teams" to take a stand against Russophobia spread in some national historiographies, because when it makes to Wikipedia articles, there is no need to conspire to fight it. It is rathe rself-evident.
Lets just stay friendly, disagree peaceably and be courtious.
BTW, I am not Russian but a Ukrainian. That said, I am first to oppose the trolls that happen to be my comatriots.
Счастливо,

I replied to your comments on my talk page. After having about five edit conflicts, I kind of lost track what I already cross-posted on your talk page and what was new. Since the thread is rather long, I also decided against cross-posting it here as to not overwhelm your talk page. You are welcome to examine my replies with this diff. If you intend to reply, please start a new thread. Thanks.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I refuse to continue this discussion until you start paying attention to what I write to you in response. If you intend to ignore my responses, why bother with this discussion at all? Please refer back to my responses about 1. common use; 2. right to choose spelling of one's own name; and 3. current transliteration policy being a representation of existing practices. All I insist on is that current policies are followed—they did not appear out of thin air, you know. If you do not like a particular policy, feel free to voice your concern in an appropriate place (hint: it's not my talk page). Which reminds me of 4. invitations to participate in policy revision discussions.
Should you have any questions I have not previously addressed, please feel free to ask me then.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 21:18, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Where do you get off calling my edits vandalism? [3] First of all, read what vandalism means. Next, your dozens of edits with no edit summaries are against wikipedia policy; it's especially rude to do that when you revert other users' changes. If you have a problem with my contributions or fail to understand them, indicate what it is in the edit summary, or explain in discussion. Don't just call me a vandal and revert. While you're at it, read Wikipedia:Civility. — Michael Z. 2005-12-19 21:48 Z
Nixer, Миру мир! MichaelZ is one of the most corteous and productive editors. Can you beleive me that, while he is a Ukrainian, he is not a Russophobe and committed to neutrality? You better do, because I am a Ukrainian too. Chill out. -- Irpen 21:22, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Your edits of my work regarding gasoline are factually incorrect and I ask you to revert the edit. I am not sure why you labelled it 'valdalism'. If you can cite a single German tank of WW2 that used a diesel engine, please let the rest of us know. If you are aware of the fuel used in soviet tanks, let me know that too.

You've apparently spent much of today turning the Thermal energy page into a Warmal inwork page containing essentially the same contents, but written entirely in terms you just made up. This makes the page dramatically less useful for those of us who know the existing terms or would like to relate this page to work written using the existing terms. Would you please put it back?
Kragen Sitaker 02:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Please stop reverting this page. Wikipedia policy is quite clear that common names are to be preferred, and you have been reverted by more than one user. - SimonP 03:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Dear Nixer. I've noticed your massive work on the Moscow Metro articles, changing spelling to a different romanization system (which, unfortunately, is unknown to me). Please note that making unilateral changes on such a massive scale without prior discussion is usually frowned upon in Wikipedia and is generally considered to be disruptive. Please also note that your edits violate current Wikipedia Russian language naming conventions. However, since that policy is currently under discussion/revision, I am not going to undo your changes unless I happen to work on the articles affected by your actions. I will, however, bring your behavior to attention of other editors, who may or may not choose other course of action. I also strongly recommend that you bring your proposed changes to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Cyrillic). If you continue making massive changes without obtaining prior community consensus, I will have to resort to stricter measures.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 21:08, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
You could discuss just on one page, since the motivation of the moves are related. Once you achieve consensus with others, we will move all articles together (or not move them). if you don't want to discuss, list them at WP:RM but don't just "move" them. -- Irpen 21:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Хочу поставить вопрос о нормальной русской транслитерации. Подскажите, как это правильно сделать, чтобы не вызывать раздражение?-- Nixer 00:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
First of all, you must clearly state the goal. Then you have to discuss the drawbacks of the existing systems. Then it is to be decided whether it is worth hassle to replace the existing one: these English will not read it correctly anyway. You must also get yourself familiar with wikipedia:Naming conventions; the main issue here is preference of traditional English spelling before any translit schemes, whatever smart. You will never make them have Moskva. The proper place to do this is Talk:Romanization of Russian. BTW, I hope you understand the difference between transliteration and transcription. mikka (t) 00:38, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
You can checked that you are unblocked [4]. But don't inflame anyone anymore. Pretty please with sugar on top. -- Irpen 01:05, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Please stop editing Moscow as if it were your own talkpage. This is an important article, and opinions of other editors should be taken into account. If you continue editing this and other articles in an unconstructive style, I will have to start a RfC against you, and I'm sure that many other editors will join. I reverted your addition of the Ostankino Tower image to the 14th-century history section about five times now. You still didn't explain how Ostankino Tower is relevant to Dmitry Donskoy and Ivan Kalita. As an aside, I have strong doubts that high-quality images uploaded by you are free as you claim. I will email webmasters today and ask their opinion on the subject. -- Ghirla | talk 15:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Nixer. Just wanted to give you a friendly piece of advice—when you edit, please use the "Show preview button" (it's located right next to the "Save page" button under the edit summary box). What it does is to show you the version of the page you are about to save, so you can review it and make additional changes if necessary before the page is actually saved. When you are done with all your edits, then save the page. Making multiple (often minor) edits one after another both clutters the page history and wastes Wikipedia storage space (every time an edit is made, a new copy of the article is saved, so if you, for example, make 20 edits to the Moscow article, 20 separate copies are saved). It's OK to occasionally have to edit a page several times in a row, but when done systematically it hurts Wikipedia more than it benefits it.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 22:50, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
You changed Trotskyite to Trotskist (sic) on the Stalin page, in a quote by Stalin. Stalin used the term "Trotskyite" as a deliberate "slur". Changing it to "Trotskyist" is to change the word that Stalin quite deliberately used.

Zoroaster, in a popular Parsi Zoroastrian depiction.
