• Hi2All!

Your addition of a graphic photograph of human excrement to Coprophilia

I reverted your addition of this photograph because it was inserted into the article without explanation. Furthermore, this photograph did not appear to significantly enhance the reader's understanding of Coprophilia. Especially in the context of an article about Coprophilia, inclusion of a graphic photograph of human excrement is likely to be offensive to a significant portion of readers. If you insert photographs of this nature into articles in the future, please provide a rationale for the insertion in your edit summary and/or on the article talk page. Additionally, you may wish to consider whether it is appropriate when inserting such images to code them for de-inlined display using the following syntax: {{linkimage|imagefilename.jpg|caption}}. Thank you. John254 03:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Cities and towns in Primorsky Krai

Hi there! Please note that Category:Cities and towns in Primorsky Krai (as well as any other Russian "cities and towns" category) is reserved for cities and towns only. It is not intended to hold urban-type settlements and rural settlements. I reverted your edits to that effect; please re-check in case I missed something.

Unspecified source for Image:N karpol.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:N karpol.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 04:17, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikistalking

This is regarding [1]. Please do not follow other users around WP. I saw a complaint but no evidence, so this is a friendly warning. See WP:STALK: "Wikistalking has been a subject in at least two Arbitration Committee proceedings (and a peripheral matter in a third)." Cheers. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 11:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Seeing this (following up on an AfD discussion) I am a little confused. If there is an article in more than 1 national WP, and someone thinks it non-notable, or whatever, what else is there to do but follow it and mark it in both of them, or however many they are?DGG 04:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Juan_Antonio_Samaranch.jpg. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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.

Primorsky Krai

Hi there! This is a courtesy notice to let you know that I had to revert all the moves of articles on districts and localities of Primorsky Krai, as they violate the existing guideline (and practices) for Russian geographic locations as set forth in WP:NC:CITY#Russia. Sorry I haven't noticed your activity earlier and that you had to waste time on these moves. Please let me know if you have questions. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:17, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm sorry, but I had to move it back again :) Here is why. The district of Kharkiv Oblast is called "Чугуевский" in Russian, so, naturally, in the Russian Wikipedia you would have a disambiguation page titled ru:Чугуевский район. However, the Ukrainian name of the district is "Чугуївський", which, according to WP:UKR, is romanized "Chuhuivskyi". So, while in Russian the names are identical, the romanized names are not. However, since the commonly used names are identical (Russian is widely spoken in Ukraine, as you undoubtedly know), having a disambiguation page is still necessary to avoid confusion for those unaware of finer points of romanization. So, I moved the disambiguation page to Chuguyevsky District (disambiguation) (correcting the spelling of the Ukrainian district on the way), moved the article about the Russian district back to Chuguyevsky District (since it's a unique English name), and added {{For}} at its top, directing readers to Chuhuivskyi Raion if information about the Ukrainian district is what they are seeking. Ultimately, when "Chuhuivskyi Raion" is created, a similar {{For}} notice should be added at its top, directing readers to the article about the Russian district. Finally, according to established naming practices, articles on Russian districts are titled "Districts" (e.g., "Chuguyevsky District"), but the Ukrainian districts are titled "Raions" (e.g., "Chuhuivskyi Raion"). I know it's silly, but that's what lack of coordination brought upon us :) Now it would be too much work to either change all Russian districts to "raions" or to change all Ukrainian raions to "districts", so the status quo stays what it is.

I hope I didn't confuse you to death with this explanation! Feel free to ask me if anything is unclear.

Now, as for the bottom portion of the template, I did not delete it, but merely commented it out. The only valid blue link in that section was administrative divisions, which covered most of the rest of the template (so I moved it to the header). History of Primorsky Krai is not even about Primorsky Krai, but about the history of the territory predating it (this was one of the very very first articles I created in 2004 when I had no clue how Wikipedia is supposed to work), and the rest of the links were just red. If you are planning to write any of those articles soon, feel free to restore the section in the template, otherwise I just don't see the need for more red links.

Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Liquidation of red links is something I am all for :) It's just that people tend to complain when oversized and mostly redlinked templates are added to small stubs. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:56, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Removing {{fact}} tags

Hi, could I ask you not to remove {{fact}} tags from articles? Thanks. The Evil Spartan 16:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

• I deleted {{fact}} from axioms. Axioms need no to write "fact". --Paukrus 08:14, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
  • No, you deleted fact tags from other articles, such as this or this. If anything is unsourced here, then it needs to be sourced. If it's common knowledge, then you should be able to find a source. The Evil Spartan 14:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
    • OK, I'll find sources. --Paukrus 19:52, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Removing {{no source}} tags

Please don't remove these either, as on Image:Shmelev Ivan.jpg, until you can give the source where you found this image. Thanks. The Evil Spartan 17:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

• It is old picture. --Paukrus 00:13, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Adding {{NPOV}} tag

I noticed that you added {{NPOV}} tags to Samashki massacre and Komsomolskoye massacre without explaining on the talk pages of either of those articles what your dispute is with the POVs of these articles. So I removed the tags from both articles. Do not replace them without explaining what your issues with those articles are on their associated talk pages. Otherwise the editors of those articles have no idea what you are disputing. --Ace of Swords 23:11, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Sources in those article non-authoritative. Need to write points of opinion of all sides. But not odious sites... --Paukrus 05:37, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Then write your objections on the talk pages of those articles. Otherwise editors there have no idea what your problem is. --Ace of Swords 20:25, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. This is the third time I've told you not to add the {{NPOV}} template to the Samashki massacre and Komsomolskoye massacre articles unless you also explain on the talk pages of each article what you are disputing about the POV of the article. You appear to be ignoring me. You also ign^ored the hidden messages I placed at the top of each article about the need to explain what you are disputing when you place the NPOV tag. The next time you place the tag without explanation, I will report you for a 3RR violation. --Ace of Swords 22:33, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• • And you about too, rusophobe. Links are non-neutral. --Paukrus 22:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:CIVIL, WP:NPA, please. I'm not a Russophobe. I haven't even had anything to do any editing on either of these articles except to notice that you are repeatedly placing the NPOV tag without informing anyone either through edit summaries nor through article talk pages what you are disputing about the views shown in the article. Your very placement of that tag without explaining to anyone why you have issues with those articles is itself a POV act. All I am asking to do is for you to explain what you are disputing to other editors on the article talk pages. This you are repeatedly refusing to do. If you would simply explain, then I'd have no issue with you. --Ace of Swords 22:51, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

If you are not a Russophobe, then add please any other source (except for Politkovskaya)/ --Paukrus 22:57, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

You are the one with the content issue. If you have other sources, then by all means add them, or direct the editors who are actually working on those issues to them. I'm not an authority one side or the other on the conflict between Russian and Chechnya, I was simply asking you to explain your issues about POV/NPOV on the talk pages. Since you've finally done so on Talk:Komsomolskoye massacre, my issue with you regarding that article is at an end -- now you can discuss with the people actually working on that article.

You should do the same with Talk:Samashki massacre if you add the NPOV tag there again (which a different editor has already removed since you have still not explained yourself there.) Again, if you readd the NPOV tag to that article without such an explanation, I'll report you to 3RR. --Ace of Swords 23:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

It's not problem... I wanna more sources, not only a'la Politkovskaya ana sites of near-terrorists. --Paukrus 23:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

"Rusophobe", cute. How about: "And you about too[? broken English], chechenophobe."? The sources were "authoritative" enough to be included in the UN report on the human rights in Russia. Oh, I know, the UN is a bunch of "rusophobes" and "near-terrorists". --HanzoHattori 23:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• I strong oppose original researches of Politkovskaya. Need to add other source because Politkovskaya was pro-chechen. I'm not chechenophobe, I'm non-political. I write only geo- and biology- articles and interwiki adding. :) --Paukrus 23:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • No, she was pro-human. --HanzoHattori 07:49, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
    • She was from yellow journalism... --Paukrus 23:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

In addition you have the Memorial, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, International Committee of the Red Cross, and a bunch of media reports. "Far-terrorists" enough yet? --HanzoHattori 23:16, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• Yes, thoose organisations are far from terrorists. :) --Paukrus 23:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Whether he is a terrorist or not isn't of any relevance. You have to be able to disagree with people without hurling insults and accusations at them. JdeJ 08:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm busy (including writing in Wikipedia), I think this terrorist is unworthy of a lot of discussions and waste of our time. Best regards! --Paukrus 09:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I've never even discussed him, I've never edited that article and I take no interest in it. He's not the topic here. You continue to disregard the topic, which is that you are behaving in a way that violates Wikipedia policies about civil conduct. JdeJ 09:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't wanna to violates Wikipedia rules, but I added true category and gave links. --Paukrus 09:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Once again, I have no problem with your actual edit about which I lack the knowledge to comment. The problem I'm mentioning is that you are calling other users russophobes. JdeJ 11:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Anti-Russian talk is russophoby.--Paukrus 11:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

It sure is. If somebody says that Russians are stupid, Russians are dishonest or anything of the kind, that's russophobic and it should be reported. If somebody claims that a Chechen isn't a terrorist or that the USSR occupied the Baltic States, that's an opinion that people might agree with or disagree with as they please, but it's not russophobic. JdeJ 16:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I didn't say Chechens are terrorists. I said Zakaev is terrorist. He isn't all Chechen people. IMHO USSR didn't occupie the Baltic States. That was goodwill union. --Paukrus 23:36, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello GoodDay. Yes, Putin is still President, but untill May 2008. Medvedev was elected but not acting yet (since May 2008). --Paukrus (talk) 03:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Severin

Hi there! Perhaps you missed it, but the article was moved to Guy Severin as a result of the move request. The spelling is in full compliance with the WP:RUS exceptions clause as outlined in WP:RUS#People and is documented on the talk page. If you believe there are other reasons to move the article back, please submit another move request. I restored the "Guy" spelling. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Guy is Russian "Гуй". Russian name of Severin is "Гай" (Gay). --Paukrus (talk) 21:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Please read the exceptions clause of the very guideline you are trying to enforce. There are very good reasons to have exceptions to any rule, and this guy (pardon the pun) is a case in point.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 21:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

And what about Gay, Russia? It's town pronounce as "Гай". The same pronouncing as Severin (Гай Северин). --Paukrus (talk) 22:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Again, if you just go ahead and read the guidelines, you'll see that the approach to romanization of people's names is different from the approach to romanization of place names. "Gay, Russia" is correct and compliant. "Guy Severin" is a compliant exception (he did have a work published in English as "Guy"; a fact that's documented on the talk page).

An editor has nominated Deaths in 2008, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deaths in 2008 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I removed your comments from the AfD page as they were added after the discussion was closed. The decision was to keep the article. —BradV 23:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

La Coupée

Can you explain why you reverted my redirect on La Coupée? The landform in question is part of Sark, and everything about it, 100%, was already covered in the Sark article. Maury (talk) 19:15, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Hm. I have some doubts. :) Panama Istmus is a part of America too. Maybe ever someone add any info about La Coupée. --Paukrus (talk) 03:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I doubt it. In the meantime I think a re-merge is in order. Maury (talk) 11:27, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

SUL

Hi there! In order to rename an account you'll need help of a bureaucrat (I am not one). You can submit an account rename request at WP:CHU. Also, I assume that the account User:Pauk is yours; if not, you'll also need to submit a request at WP:CHU/U. Sorry for not being of more help.

Subject of Russia

Hi there! Do you still have any plans for the {{Subject of Russia}} template? Someone nominated it as speedy, but I think I remember you wanting to develop it. Anyway, your call. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes. I wanted to develop template like ru:Шаблон:Регион. I think many articles about Russian settlements are very shot or absent and template will be very large.--Paukrus (talk) 20:08, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

In that case you'll need to contest the tag before someone deletes the template outright. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:24, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

User:Paukrus/Subject of Russia. I'll work with it. Let delete {{Subject of Russia}}. --Paukrus (talk) 20:32, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Evil Islands.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Speedy deletion of Bozhidar

A tag has been placed on Bozhidar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. mboverload@ 02:45, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Your input requested

Hi. A proposal on the re-creation of WP:RUSSIA is currently underway at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia/Proposal. One of the main points is that we should have workgroups covering different topics. We are trying to ascertain the interest of editors in various workgroups under WP:RUSSIA, such as history, politics, biographical, etc; as your userpage indicates you are Russian or live in Russia, perhaps you can take a read of the proposal, comment on it wherever you have thoughts, and perhaps provide details of any Russian topics you may be interested and are willing to collaborate with other editors on? Your input is valued. Cheers. --Russavia ^{Dialogue Stalk me} 20:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ilya Kormiltsev

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ilya Kormiltsev, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

File copyright problem with File:E Vesnik.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:E Vesnik.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stifle (talk) 10:58, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:E Vesnik.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:E Vesnik.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Paukrus! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 232 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Зенон Позняк

Уважаемый Pauk! Возможно, я опоздал с обращением к вам, так как прочитал на вашей странице в русской википедии, что вы покинули проект. Тем не менее, попытаюсь сделать это. В статье ru:Позняк, Зенон Станиславович белорусский националист Kazimier Lachnovič удалил почти всё содержание раздела «Критика», в том числе и ссылки на многочисленные публикации критиков Позняка, а также отдельные одиозные утверждения его самого (о подготовке террористов в Университете Дружбы народов, об участии ФСБ в терактах 11 сентября, в избрании президентом Лукашенко и в подготовке убийства Позняка, прославление им чеченских террористов). Kazimier Lachnovič уже не раз вообще полностью удалял данный раздел, да и просто постоянно препятствует добавлению в статью любой информации, идущей вразрез с мнением позняковцев. Иначе как вандализм это расценить нельзя. Кто-то должен остановить этот вандализм одного фанатика. 91.79.28.82 (talk) 12:24, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

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) 23:30, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

What's in a name?

Hello
I notice you created a page on the Eugénie de Montijo Archipelago a while ago. Was there a reason you used that name in preference to "Empress Eugenie Archipelago"? Both the Russian and the French WPs use the latter, and I can’t find any source not influenced by the WP article to confirm the name you used.
Where did you find it? Moonraker12 (talk) 16:55, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

• Hi, Eugénie de Montijo Archipelago meansАрхипелаг Императрицы Евгении --Paukrus (talk) 06:53, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for replying; your answer sort of illustrates the problem, I’m sad to say.

Архипелаг Императрицы Евгении (Arkipelag Imperatritsy Yevgenii) translates into English as "Empress Eugenie Archipelago", not as "Eugénie de Montijo Archipelago".

The Empress Eugenie and Eugénie de Montijo may have been the same person, but it is with the former, not the latter, that the name of the islands should be rendered. The Russian WP uses Архипелаг Императрицы Евгении ([6]), and the French WP (who ought to know) use Archipel de l'impératrice Eugénie ([7]), both of which are rendered "Empress Eugenie Archipelago" in English.

So unless there is a reliable source that gives the current name as the correct name in English, the page really ought to be moved.

Do you have a source for it? Moonraker12 (talk) 13:26, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

---

There’s been no reply to this, so I’ve referred it as a Requested Move. If you have a rationale for the name you chose, can you bring it to the discussion there? Moonraker12 (talk) 12:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
