Excellent work. The NGA's my hometown museum, and the Sittow portrait is one of my favorite unsung treasures in the collection. A thought: the National Gallery has a biography online which contains some small bits of information I didn't see in the article; you might be able to use them to pad out the character amount some for DYK. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 14:04, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Comment to your edit [1] in Johan Bäckman article. I am afraid, that Bäckman uses a lot the terms "apartheid policies", "fascist Estonia" and "discrimination of Russians". So, no reason to takes his opinions off. As I have written many times, his views do not represent the academic world in Finland and/or Finnish historians (well, maybe a very small group of communists).

Hi there. I noticed you tagged a fair number of stubs for speedy deletion as A7 that have corresponding articles at et-wiki. Since those articles seem to be more detailed, they serve as an indication of importance/significance for the subject even here and are thus not eligible for speedy deletion. As such, I'd recommend you do not tag them for A7 anymore but take them to AFD instead if you are really contesting notability or (better yet) improve them with the et-wiki information and further sources.

I understand that a merge/redirect is abrupt, but if you look at the destination I think it's pretty obvious. I added the tags and started a discussion at Talk:Protected areas of Estonia.

Today, 23 August 2009, is the 70th birthday of the Molotov-Ribbentrop agreement. I was wondering do Russians still believe "buffer zone" theory, where Stalin sought guarantees against Nazi Germany and was "forced" to invade independent countries? According to the editorial in today's Helsingin Sanomat, the blood of the Red Army 1941-1944 washed away the possible dirt received of these assaults and invasions. And the editorial also refered to the History Commission of Russia. Peltimikko ( talk) 19:27, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Tartu&diff=314105302&oldid=314093044 "not big in the context of Tartu or even in Tartu IT companies)"
http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001522.html F-Secure describes EstDomains in 2008 as "In fact, EstDomains is among the largest registrars in the world and they've registered over 280,000 domains. Not all of them are bad, of course. But a big part of them are." http://www.thetechherald.com/article.php/200844/2349/ICANN-drops-EstDomains-over-CEO-s-fraud-convictions says that it had almost 300,000 domains. - And I must add the reputation for crime and shady business that surrounded EstDomains to the end (look at the sources cited in the EstDomains article) Next time, please make sure that your statements in your edit summaries are accurate; with no sources cited, there is no justification for your assertion that EstDomains is (or was) "not big." When I added Estdomains, I included sources that clearly stated why Estdomains is a big deal. WhisperToMe ( talk) 23:03, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
sighs at wall of text
Firstly, "now it is and will always be" - I seriously doubt that. Medium-sized Russian mob operation has no inherent notability and I rather doubt there will be much followup in press for EstDomains. Wikipedia is not news.
Secondly, F-Secure did not have a listing - they showed a screenshot from Äripäev, a business daily (original image here, article here) - and the article does not list biggest IT-companies, it lists the most successful companies using their own methodology. Roughly, it shows how much money companies made in relation to their size. Rove Digital was on top because it showed a huge profit despite being small - and it created quite a buzz, as no one knew the company. See the column "müügitulu 2006, tuh. kr" - that shows the total of sales. Next column is profit before taxes. I am not going to count the companies, but there are more than ten companies on that list with more sales then Rove Digital - and biggest one of those has had more than twenty times the sales compared to Rove Digital.
I must admit I have no idea how many employees Rove Digital/EstDomains ever had. But Tartu has offices of Skype, Playtech, WebMedia, Uptime, Ordi and quite a few other IT companies (sometimes branch offices, though). All those listed have more than hundred employees (much more for Playtech, Skype and WebMedia). I don't think EstDomains ever had more than twenty or more people on pay in Estonia, could have been even less as servers were apparently mostly managed from Russia.
As for the notability of EstDomain in the Tartu article - should we add McColo to San Jose? In relation to respective sizes, it should be about right.
My point is that in context of the Tartu city, brief existence of EstDomains is quite irrelevant. In EstDomains article, mentioning the location is only natural. But having a section dedicated for a small company even in Tartu context in Tartu article is an obvious overkill. Tartu is not defined by any IT-company (say, like Redmond is by Microsoft and Nintendo) - I am willing to bet that most people in Tartu would be unable to name even one IT-company based in Tartu - or at best would be able to mention Playtech.
And finally, the biggest employers in Tartu. Strangely enough, I can say what first two are without looking for references - University of Tartu and Eesti Maaülikool. Quick search also gave me biggest privately held companies by number of employees, 2006-2008 ( source):

The Arbitration Committee recently passed a motion to open a case to investigate allegations surrounding a private Eastern European mailing list. The contents of the motion can be viewed here.
You have been named as one of the parties to this case at the request of the Arbitration Committee, here. Please take note of the explanations given in italics at the top of that section; if you have any further questions about the list of parties, please feel free to contact me on my talk page.
The Committee has explicitly requested that evidence be presented within one week of the case opening; ie. by September 25. Evidence can be presented on the evidence subpage of the case; please ensure that you follow the Committee instructions regarding the responsible and appropriate submission of evidence, as set out in the motion linked previously, should you choose to present evidence.
Please further note that, due to the exceptional nature of this case (insofar as it centers on the alleged contents of a private mailing list), the Committee has decided that the normal workshop format will not be used. The notice near the top of the cases' workshop page provides a detailed explanation of how it will be used in this case.

Hi, I found the article some time ago and I knew that it needs a re-write. For one, it completely skips post-war activities, like their role in suppression of Lithuanian partisans or deportations. However, I am not going to be able to do this anytime soon. I am terribly busy until April 15 and I do not have good sources on the topic. Even if I found some sources, they would be only about Lithuania. As you said they were active all over the place. I guess you could find some Russian sources that gave an overview, but I do not read Russian.
P.S. I rebel against being labeled "history buff" -- I have zero interest in history outside of Wikipedia. Talk about how WP changes lives :)

This user has constantly attacked against Johan Bäckman delivering one-sinded and aggressive material, claming for example that Bäckman is "Russian influence agent". One should note that several pro-Estonian activists have been excluded from English Wikipedia recently. One problem is that article about Bäckman was firstly writte solely on the basis of Estonian yellow press materials, openly hostile against Bäckman. The fact that Estonian security police Kapo and yellow press of the country are hostile against Bäckman is interesting and worth of mentioning, but the concents is not objective. Interesting that Sander Säde is protecting Estonian security police officer Kahar, who is public figure in Estonia, openly critisising Bäckman many times, but whose name should not be mentioned in Wikipedia. Why? Sander Säde is violating rules of English Wikipedia and should be excluded. -- 91.152.84.165 ( talk) 09:19, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

I do not say that their issues and points are all bad. However, the organisation makes "shadow" reports, and the latest report discussed above was very bad work in my opinion.

Hi! About the subject to rename the article Occupation of the Baltic states to Occupation and annexation of the Baltic states. I have read book related the subject and edited the article and created subarticles. A rename voting was short time ago, so do not want to start immediate voting again if there is not enough support for the rename. The period 1940-1991 is a very long time and it includes illegal occupations and annexations by both Germans and Soviets. I have read some books and edited the problems with the state continuity. The name "Occupation and annexation of the Baltic states" would give better "big picture" than just "Occupation". The name would not wash illegal actions, but gave better picture of the reality. Furthermore, it would not hurt to get rid of the title neutrality tag, so people would be encouraged to edit more. Peltimikko ( talk) 10:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

It seems, however not sure, that Sander Säde is campaining against Johan Bäckman - any atttempt to move Bäckman´s article towards more objective form is immediately met with a treat to block the user.

If you had read the F*** Eastern Bloc economies page it have already been spelled out to you, wouldn't it? But no you don't want to read the dam talk page, do you? The article completely jumps over many important periods of communist economics. Example, Socialist Bulgaria held a strong growth for years because of its low level of development, comparable to the USSR's. Most countries, at first, benefitted from Soviet economics. East Germany held a positive growth rate until the end, and there was signs of it ever declining. The Soviet economy held a positive growth rate in the 1960s and 1970s, and the Soviet living standard has never increased as fast as it did in that period. But no, is any of this mentioned? No! Its not!!!!

I understand the rules for not citing blogs, but I'm not sure whether or not Voltaire Network is a blog or not. It seems to be the only website critical of Jamestown that has not been deleted when there are several others.
Furthermore, you keep reverting back to previous version that 'Kim Phily and Burgess' wrote something for eXile, when these are obviously pen names and are not the Soviet agents who defected from the UK to the USSR during the Cold War [these individuals being deceased]. You should write 'someone writing anonymously under the pen-names Kim Philby and Guy Burgess' unless you can show that these were the real names of the eXile piece authors on Vladimir Socor and Jamestown.

Tere Sander, I can fully understand the politics behind not wanting to say an Estonian was born in the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union, but where is the broader consensus to authorise your revert? Broadly said, as far as it is done for politicians and footballers, those people born during the Soviet times were born in the Estonian SSR. Yes, geographically, it is/was Estonia. But, geographically, it is also Europe. So, huh? These people weren't born in Estonia as we know it today. Nor would anyone say someone born in Tallinn today would be from "Reval", simply because it was the old geographical name for the place. I, personally, don't mind "Estonia" instead of "Estonian SSR", in fact I prefer it, but in my eyes it's just wrong. Jared Preston ( talk) 15:03, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I added a section about criticism to Google Adwords page, and I was removed by you less than than a day later for... "spamkill"? I'm not familiar with the proper markup for html on wiki, so I thought I could just throw it up there and let somebody else take care of it.
Apparently that's not the case, since this is the second time somebody has removed one of my links without bothering to check if it's actual spam, or if there's any validity to the content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.65.219 ( talk) 20:54, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, actually notability doesn't come into it. It is perfectly possible for a person to be unsuitable for speedying but to get deleted at AfD. Because speedy deletions take place without consensus they are reserved for clear cut cases of unimportance.

You have reverted my edits in the article about Baltic Russians without having any legitimate reasons for that and without explaining your position. Among other things, you have removed the update concerning Alexei Kudrin, who is now a "former" minister, additional information about Tatjana Ždanoka,Viktor Uspaskich and Nikolai Novosjolov in "notable Baltic Russians" section, and, most importantly - updated statistical information (with documented sources) concerning the % of Russians in different parts of Estonia.

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon. It's 1-3 June and registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, just mention it in the registration form.
This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets ( extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
Our goals for the event are to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Wikipedia's list of user scripts is in bad shape, in that it is disorganized and contains many non-working, unmaintained, or thoroughly obsolete entries. Cleanup has been on the to-do list since 2007, but little progress has been made. Instead, the whole list is now set to be deprecated on 1 May 2012, to be replaced with a new list. This draft list has been up for about a month, and in that time I've been soliciting script users and authors to come add scripts they know to be working and relevant.
If you know of scripts that you would like to survive this deprecation (and are confirmed working and relevant), you're welcome to add them to the new list. Note that the old list will be retained and linked from the main list, so there is no real deadline. Thanks for your help. Equazcion (talk) 00:57, 22 Apr 2012 (UTC)

As the result of an arbitration enforcement discussion, you are notified that you are topic banned until 00:00 GMT on 24 September 2012 from the subject of Eastern Europe, broadly construed. This ban includes, but is not limited to, discussion of the subject on any page on Wikipedia, except to file an appeal to your sanction in the proper venue. You may appeal the sanction to the imposing administrator, the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, or the arbitration committee, either on the basis of error or to appeal for the sanction to be lifted after a period of good behavior. While the ban is in force, any edit in defiance of the ban will lead to a block from editing. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:23, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello Sander Säde. Regarding your request for clarification. The ban was not imposed by Arbcom itself but at WP:Arbitration enforcement by User:Seraphimblade, as a result of WP:AE#Igny. Arbcom isn't exactly in a position to clarify a decision that they didn't make. You might be better off starting at User talk:Seraphimblade. If you are not satisfied with his response, you can appeal at AE using {{ Arbitration enforcement appeal}}. Thank you, EdJohnston ( talk) 16:08, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
I have declined your speedy deletion request on Defrage. The article has 3 sources (though none in English) which seem to refer to the band directly; that's sufficient to pass A7.

Since those articles seem to be more detailed, they serve as an indication of importance/significance for the subject even here and are thus not eligible for speedy deletion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Tartu&diff=314105302&oldid=314093044 "not big in the context of Tartu or even in Tartu IT companies)"
http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00001522.html F-Secure describes EstDomains in 2008 as "In fact, EstDomains is among the largest registrars in the world and they've registered over 280,000 domains. Not all of them are bad, of course. But a big part of them are." http://www.thetechherald.com/article.php/200844/2349/ICANN-drops-EstDomains-over-CEO-s-fraud-convictions says that it had almost 300,000 domains. - And I must add the reputation for crime and shady business that surrounded EstDomains to the end (look at the sources cited in the EstDomains article) Next time, please make sure that your statements in your edit summaries are accurate; with no sources cited, there is no justification for your assertion that EstDomains is (or was) "not big." When I added Estdomains, I included sources that clearly stated why Estdomains is a big deal. WhisperToMe ( talk) 23:03, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
sighs at wall of text
Firstly, "now it is and will always be" - I seriously doubt that. Medium-sized Russian mob operation has no inherent notability and I rather doubt there will be much followup in press for EstDomains. Wikipedia is not news.
Secondly, F-Secure did not have a listing - they showed a screenshot from Äripäev, a business daily (original image here, article here) - and the article does not list biggest IT-companies, it lists the most successful companies using their own methodology. Roughly, it shows how much money companies made in relation to their size. Rove Digital was on top because it showed a huge profit despite being small - and it created quite a buzz, as no one knew the company. See the column "müügitulu 2006, tuh. kr" - that shows the total of sales. Next column is profit before taxes. I am not going to count the companies, but there are more than ten companies on that list with more sales then Rove Digital - and biggest one of those has had more than twenty times the sales compared to Rove Digital.
I must admit I have no idea how many employees Rove Digital/EstDomains ever had. But Tartu has offices of Skype, Playtech, WebMedia, Uptime, Ordi and quite a few other IT companies (sometimes branch offices, though). All those listed have more than hundred employees (much more for Playtech, Skype and WebMedia). I don't think EstDomains ever had more than twenty or more people on pay in Estonia, could have been even less as servers were apparently mostly managed from Russia.
As for the notability of EstDomain in the Tartu article - should we add McColo to San Jose? In relation to respective sizes, it should be about right.
My point is that in context of the Tartu city, brief existence of EstDomains is quite irrelevant. In EstDomains article, mentioning the location is only natural. But having a section dedicated for a small company even in Tartu context in Tartu article is an obvious overkill. Tartu is not defined by any IT-company (say, like Redmond is by Microsoft and Nintendo) - I am willing to bet that most people in Tartu would be unable to name even one IT-company based in Tartu - or at best would be able to mention Playtech.
And finally, the biggest employers in Tartu. Strangely enough, I can say what first two are without looking for references - University of Tartu and Eesti Maaülikool. Quick search also gave me biggest privately held companies by number of employees, 2006-2008 ( source):

The Arbitration Committee recently passed a motion to open a case to investigate allegations surrounding a private Eastern European mailing list. The contents of the motion can be viewed here.
You have been named as one of the parties to this case at the request of the Arbitration Committee, here. Please take note of the explanations given in italics at the top of that section; if you have any further questions about the list of parties, please feel free to contact me on my talk page.
The Committee has explicitly requested that evidence be presented within one week of the case opening; ie. by September 25. Evidence can be presented on the evidence subpage of the case; please ensure that you follow the Committee instructions regarding the responsible and appropriate submission of evidence, as set out in the motion linked previously, should you choose to present evidence.
Please further note that, due to the exceptional nature of this case (insofar as it centers on the alleged contents of a private mailing list), the Committee has decided that the normal workshop format will not be used. The notice near the top of the cases' workshop page provides a detailed explanation of how it will be used in this case.
For the Arbitration Committee,

I have no major problem with it, but would appreciate some attention on the article to improve the claim to notability.

I just happened to see your sig on Thatcher's talk page. Could I offer a little suggestion? A lot of editors find the use of a text-shadow element makes text (particularly the finer print used in Wikipedia comments) difficult to read.

Hi, I found the article some time ago and I knew that it needs a re-write. For one, it completely skips post-war activities, like their role in suppression of Lithuanian partisans or deportations. However, I am not going to be able to do this anytime soon. I am terribly busy until April 15 and I do not have good sources on the topic. Even if I found some sources, they would be only about Lithuania. As you said they were active all over the place. I guess you could find some Russian sources that gave an overview, but I do not read Russian.

This user has constantly attacked against Johan Bäckman delivering one-sinded and aggressive material, claming for example that Bäckman is "Russian influence agent". One should note that several pro-Estonian activists have been excluded from English Wikipedia recently. One problem is that article about Bäckman was firstly writte solely on the basis of Estonian yellow press materials, openly hostile against Bäckman. The fact that Estonian security police Kapo and yellow press of the country are hostile against Bäckman is interesting and worth of mentioning, but the concents is not objective. Interesting that Sander Säde is protecting Estonian security police officer Kahar, who is public figure in Estonia, openly critisising Bäckman many times, but whose name should not be mentioned in Wikipedia. Why? Sander Säde is violating rules of English Wikipedia and should be excluded. -- 91.152.84.165 ( talk) 09:19, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

What is this "Legal Information Centre for Human Rights" organisation? Seems it has multiple finance sources, but donations from the Russian embassy in Tallinn makes it very suspicious. Also, I noticed that its report are mentioned in Johan Bäckman's blog. These facts does not necessary mean that the organisation is under Russian rule, but it makes wondering. I do not say that their issues and points are all bad. However, the organisation makes "shadow" reports, and the latest report discussed above was very bad work in my opinion.

Hi! About the subject to rename the article Occupation of the Baltic states to Occupation and annexation of the Baltic states. I have read book related the subject and edited the article and created subarticles. A rename voting was short time ago, so do not want to start immediate voting again if there is not enough support for the rename. The period 1940-1991 is a very long time and it includes illegal occupations and annexations by both Germans and Soviets. I have read some books and edited the problems with the state continuity. The name "Occupation and annexation of the Baltic states" would give better "big picture" than just "Occupation". The name would not wash illegal actions, but gave better picture of the reality. Furthermore, it would not hurt to get rid of the title neutrality tag, so people would be encouraged to edit more. Peltimikko ( talk) 10:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 21:42, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

It seems, however not sure, that Sander Säde is campaining against Johan Bäckman - any atttempt to move Bäckman´s article towards more objective form is immediately met with a treat to block the user.

I appreciate you taking time to get back to me about the subject and I am grateful that you agree it does not constitute spam, despite being numerous similar contributions ( comparability is a requirement for infobox indicators, therefore adding one or several country's rankings is not informative or appropriate).

If you had read the F*** Eastern Bloc economies page it have already been spelled out to you, wouldn't it? But no you don't want to read the dam talk page, do you? The article completely jumps over many important periods of communist economics. Example, Socialist Bulgaria held a strong growth for years because of its low level of development, comparable to the USSR's. Most countries, at first, benefitted from Soviet economics. East Germany held a positive growth rate until the end, and there was signs of it ever declining. The Soviet economy held a positive growth rate in the 1960s and 1970s, and the Soviet living standard has never increased as fast as it did in that period. But no, is any of this mentioned? No! Its not!!!! I can go on giving you more and more examples, but I now, that you don't really give a dam because you want to push your POV into the article! -- TIAYN ( talk) 05:56, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

I understand the rules for not citing blogs, but I'm not sure whether or not Voltaire Network is a blog or not. It seems to be the only website critical of Jamestown that has not been deleted when there are several others.
Furthermore, you keep reverting back to previous version that 'Kim Phily and Burgess' wrote something for eXile, when these are obviously pen names and are not the Soviet agents who defected from the UK to the USSR during the Cold War [these individuals being deceased]. You should write 'someone writing anonymously under the pen-names Kim Philby and Guy Burgess' unless you can show that these were the real names of the eXile piece authors on Vladimir Socor and Jamestown.

Tere Sander, I can fully understand the politics behind not wanting to say an Estonian was born in the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union, but where is the broader consensus to authorise your revert? Broadly said, as far as it is done for politicians and footballers, those people born during the Soviet times were born in the Estonian SSR. Yes, geographically, it is/was Estonia. But, geographically, it is also Europe. So, huh? These people weren't born in Estonia as we know it today. Nor would anyone say someone born in Tallinn today would be from "Reval", simply because it was the old geographical name for the place. I, personally, don't mind "Estonia" instead of "Estonian SSR", in fact I prefer it, but in my eyes it's just wrong. Jared Preston ( talk) 15:03, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets ( extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
Our goals for the event are to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!
I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.
Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Wikipedia's list of user scripts is in bad shape, in that it is disorganized and contains many non-working, unmaintained, or thoroughly obsolete entries. Cleanup has been on the to-do list since 2007, but little progress has been made. Instead, the whole list is now set to be deprecated on 1 May 2012, to be replaced with a new list. This draft list has been up for about a month, and in that time I've been soliciting script users and authors to come add scripts they know to be working and relevant.
If you know of scripts that you would like to survive this deprecation (and are confirmed working and relevant), you're welcome to add them to the new list. Note that the old list will be retained and linked from the main list, so there is no real deadline. Thanks for your help. Equazcion (talk) 00:57, 22 Apr 2012 (UTC)

As the result of an arbitration enforcement discussion, you are notified that you are topic banned until 00:00 GMT on 24 September 2012 from the subject of Eastern Europe, broadly construed. This ban includes, but is not limited to, discussion of the subject on any page on Wikipedia, except to file an appeal to your sanction in the proper venue. You may appeal the sanction to the imposing administrator, the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, or the arbitration committee, either on the basis of error or to appeal for the sanction to be lifted after a period of good behavior. While the ban is in force, any edit in defiance of the ban will lead to a block from editing. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:23, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello Sander Säde. Regarding your request for clarification. The ban was not imposed by Arbcom itself but at WP:Arbitration enforcement by User:Seraphimblade, as a result of WP:AE#Igny. Arbcom isn't exactly in a position to clarify a decision that they didn't make. You might be better off starting at User talk:Seraphimblade. If you are not satisfied with his response, you can appeal at AE using {{ Arbitration enforcement appeal}}. Thank you, EdJohnston ( talk) 16:08, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
I have declined your speedy deletion request on Defrage. The article has 3 sources (though none in English) which seem to refer to the band directly; that's sufficient to pass A7. However, if you think the sources aren't enough to meet WP:GNG, feel free to take the article to AfD. Qwyrxian ( talk) 13:21, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I saw your note on the talk page there. You have already done the research, you understand the BLP rules, and you are currently the person who is most familiar with the sources, so I would suggest that you go ahead to update the article. I would be happy to proofread when you are finished. If you feel energetic, you might also look at Swing Swindlers, which has a serious referencing problem. Happy editing! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 16:55, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello. Why did you revert my edit about the birthplace of Baruto? In 1984 there were no counties in Estonia, so it is not correct to mention Lääne-Viru County that did not exist as Baruto's birthplace. And Rakvere raion did exist - see et:Rakvere rajoon, ru:Раквереский район. In Estonian article there is a map of the raion with Väike-Maarja. Besides, Estonia was part of the USSR at that time.-- IgorMagic ( talk) 10:38, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Please, consider to undo the deletion of the reference to http://petsaspests.blogspot.com.es/search/label/canid%20hybridization There's no selfpub and all the information is updated and objective. If any link included there has changed this is very common in wikipedia and, at least, with this site you still have the summaries. None of the articles included are off-topic. -- Kokopelado ( talk) 12:52, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. Is there any difference between people born in Estonia between 1940 and 1990, and people born in Latvia and Lithuania in the same period? Or what about people born in the former Yugoslavia or the former Czechoslovakia? In all of those cases, the people are listed as born in the historical country, and this practice is also supported by this discussion, isn't it? Mentoz86 ( talk) 08:42, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
...seems to be a 'continuation sock' of this IP. Interestingly, the IP geolocates to the US. Jacob Peters perhaps. Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 14:15, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Why are you removing these? They're perfectly legitimate. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 09:30, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Sander! Could you please advise what information should be changed or deleted in the page of Teet Kask. You have edited the page recently. I apologize for not knowing all the rules at Wikipedia. I would appreciate if you answer to me in talk section. IleneOkkim ( talk) 16:58, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the information and tips. IleneOkkim ( talk) 18:29, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello Sander Säde. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Category:Aruküla, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: C1 does not apply to category redirects. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 01:07, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I've replied here: /info/en/?search=User_talk:URH88#Proposed_deletion_of_Timo_Toots

A case ( Eastern Europe) in which you were involved has been modified by motion which changed the wording of the discretionary sanctions section to clarify that the scope applies to pages, not just articles. For the arbitration committee -- S Philbrick (Talk) 15:32, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
