Way cool. I was first extremely influenced by Marxism and the Philospophy of Language in the mid-1980s, as a philosophy undergrad. A big part of my honors thesis was about Voloshinov, and even my Ph.D. dissertation in philosophy definitely showed strong resonances to VV (but by way of the post-structuralists like Lacan and Althusser; whom I believe VV to have forshadowed in interesting ways). But despite being closer to a "Voloshinovian" than just about anyone else I know of, I had never seen a photo of him before (not that I particularly tried to, but it's interesting to see... not really anything surprising per se: a Russian-looking guy in early 20th C academic garb, but still). It's too bad the photo isn't a bit better quality, but something is certainly better than nothing. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 19:43, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
It is really interesting to see a photo from someone whose writings you have read so much. Me myself I am very much influenced by Voloshinov, one of the rare explicitly marxist approaches to language. You are right of course: "a Russian-looking guy in early 20th C academic garb but still". The source of the photo Encyclopédie francophone des linguistes russes et soviétiques, et d'Europe centrale et orientale from the University of Laussane/Slavic Languages/Linguistics, with lots of interesting things on soviet linguistics. This is the only photo of Voloshinov I have ever come across. I have also added the photo to the greek and the russian version of the article.-- Michkalas 13:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I am very pleased that you liked the image Image:MapOfTurkishSpeakers.png and uploaded it to the Greek Wikipedia. Reading the English text I just wrote last night this time in Greek language was truly exciting for me, since I like to study Greek when I have the time. I am unfortunately not a hundred percent sure that the image is flawless and I think it might need modifications. Please let me know if you notice any mistakes. Regards, Atilim Gunes Baydin 14:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, regarding your edit to Greek language and the relative age of Greek and Sanskrit: As far as I understand, the issue here is whether one counts the oldest preserved texts, or the oldest attested writing. Attestation of Greek is much older in the second sense ( Linear B, 14th cent BC), while attestation of Sanskrit is roughly from the same age or just slightly older only in the first sense (according to Vedic Sanskrit, the oldest known Vedic texts were composed around 1200 BC, but written down much later).

Thanks for uploading Image:Leonard Orban.JPG. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi Michkalas, great work in the section! Please don´t let it get to lenghty, I think the proportion to other sections is fine now. Maybe even shortening some parts is fine for you. I intend to add a table including most spoken languages. all the best Lear 21 13:31, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Here you have a link from the official Journal of the Romanian State (Monitorul Oficial al României): http://www.monitoruloficial.ro/monitoare/2006/mon1031.htm.
I don't have the original full text of the decision of the romanian Prime Minister.
My translation of the text from romanian Wikipedia is:
By Decision no. 222/27 December 2006 of the Prime Minister of Romania, published in the official Journal of the Romanian State (Monitorul Oficial al României) no. 1031/27 December 2006, Leonard Orban was released from the office of Secretary of State of the Ministry of European Integration of Romania and Chief Negotiator for Romania's accession to the European Union. Cezarika1 17:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your message regarding " Leonard Orban" - glad to have been of help!-- January2007 14:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
You can do both. How I think about it right now: Have the text copy-edited, wait to see if the copy-editor has any advice to offer you, then go for GA, if GAC is succesful have another peer-review (you can ask simultaneously for a second Biography peer-review, and for a general peer-review). When you think there are no more suggestions in these peer-reviews, go for FAC.
Hmmm ... You know what else you can do: you can also ask for independent reviews. I can recommend you some of the best in Wikipedia: User:SandyGeorgia and User:Yomangani are excellent reviewers. You can politely ask them to have a look at the article; they may even copy-edit it, if they have time. Especially, Sandy will definitely offer a review, if you tell him that I recommended you to ask him to go through the article.-- Yannismarou 19:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
Hello,
I do agree with your reasoning, but WP:Portugal thinks Durão Barroso's article makes to the A rating, even if barely. It's very far from a GA, though. If WP:Euro Union thinks it deserves a B so much, why is it wasting time telling the world about it? If I were you people, I'd provide what's making it lack an A rating and make everyone in Wikipedia win, but that's just me :)

Sure, I'll look into it. I'm interested in anything that pertains to people and culture, so this topic does tickle my fancy a bit. I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner, I was away for most of Saturday and now I've come down with the flu, so I haven't spent much time on the wiki this weekend. I skimmed the page and it looks like you are only a hop, skip, and a jump away from promoting it to GA status—good job! Your tenacity and dedication really shows in the article's quality.

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [ unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! -- Ozgod 21:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I created the List of European Commissioners by nationality (as it is now known) and suggested the Romanian European Commissioner page be merged into it. You supported this idea, as did the creator of the Irish page. However the creator of the Bulgarian page has not. I would like to ask you to give your opinion on that and whether you would still support merging the Romanian page if the Bulgarian page still exists. Thanks for your time. - JLogan 16:44, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I was reading over the article again and comparing it to other articles about EU commissioners. In terms of coverage, it's the best of its kind, but you may want to include an IPA transcription of his name's pronunciation. Anyway, this is probably my last edit for tonight; I'll try to look over the article in more detail tomorrow. Cheers, The ikiroid ( talk· desk· Advise me) 03:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I have left extensive notes on the fixes, as you requested at my talk page. I left these notes on the Talk:Leonard Orban page so all could see the recommendations and all can act upon them. You also expressed concern about having to wait too long if the article was fixed and then renominated for GA. If you let me know at my talk page that the article is fixed, and you have renominated it, I will review it ASAP and promote it if all fixes have been made. This should expedite the process for you. Good luck, and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. -- Jayron32| talk| contribs 03:29, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Michkalas. I tried to implement the changes you've been suggesting for the Turkish language article, and nominated it as a good article candidate. Hope you are doing fine. Sincerely, Atilim Gunes Baydin 04:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

In any case, thanks for keeping it up so far. I'm sorry I haven't paid as much attention to it in awhile. The ikiroid ( talk· desk· Advise me) 06:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Go to the League, and, at the same you'll see if there will be any positive reaction from other sides.-- Yannismarou 20:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Sure, I'll look into it. I'm interested in anything that pertains to people and culture, so this topic does tickle my fancy a bit. I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner, I was away for most of Saturday and now I've come down with the flu, so I haven't spent much time on the wiki this weekend. I skimmed the page and it looks like you are only a hop, skip, and a jump away from promoting it to GA status—good job! Your tenacity and dedication really shows in the article's quality. Cheers, The ikiroid ( talk· desk· Advise me) 18:05, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [ unassessed articles] tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! -- Ozgod 21:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I created the List of European Commissioners by nationality (as it is now known) and suggested the Romanian European Commissioner page be merged into it. You supported this idea, as did the creator of the Irish page. However the creator of the Bulgarian page has not. I would like to ask you to give your opinion on that and whether you would still support merging the Romanian page if the Bulgarian page still exists. Thanks for your time. - JLogan 16:44, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I was reading over the article again and comparing it to other articles about EU commissioners. In terms of coverage, it's the best of its kind, but you may want to include an IPA transcription of his name's pronunciation. Anyway, this is probably my last edit for tonight; I'll try to look over the article in more detail tomorrow. Cheers, The ikiroid ( talk· desk· Advise me) 03:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I have left extensive notes on the fixes, as you requested at my talk page. I left these notes on the Talk:Leonard Orban page so all could see the recommendations and all can act upon them. You also expressed concern about having to wait too long if the article was fixed and then renominated for GA. If you let me know at my talk page that the article is fixed, and you have renominated it, I will review it ASAP and promote it if all fixes have been made. This should expedite the process for you. Good luck, and let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. -- Jayron32| talk| contribs 03:29, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Michkalas. I tried to implement the changes you've been suggesting for the Turkish language article, and nominated it as a good article candidate. Hope you are doing fine. Sincerely, Atilim Gunes Baydin 04:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Special note to spamlist users: Apologies for the formatting issues in previous issues. This only recently became a problem due to a change in HTML Tidy; however, I am to blame on this issue. Sorry, and all messages from this one forward should be fine (I hope!) -Ral315
