As I have pointed out before (see ] for my reply to Ghirlandajo), the person filling the ] page with OR is obviously the same Finnish chauvinist who has been problematic in other ways as well (such as changing the name of ] to the Finnish ''Jaakko'' - Finnish nationalists like to pretend that everyone always spoke Finnish in Finland - and making him a "Finnish field marshal", a job that didn't exist before Mannerheim). His editing has been from a couple of recurring IPs and a few different usernames. Personally, I'd like to see his IPs permanently blocked. A checkuser would probably be useful too, just to make sure all usernames really are the same user (the MO has always been the same, as far as I have seen). ] 21:37, 31 January 2006 (UTC) | As I have pointed out before (see ] for my reply to Ghirlandajo), the person filling the ] page with OR is obviously the same Finnish chauvinist who has been problematic in other ways as well (such as changing the name of ] to the Finnish ''Jaakko'' - Finnish nationalists like to pretend that everyone always spoke Finnish in Finland - and making him a "Finnish field marshal", a job that didn't exist before Mannerheim).

: '''Answer to the above:''' ''In Finnish history books the name is commonly written as ], and there is nothing "chauvinistic" about that. The Finnish family relations of Jaakko De la Gardie are well established for instance through his Finnish grandmother Karin Hansdotter, the mistress of king John III. It is not, however, as certain at all whether or not Sofia Johansdotter (Gyllenhielm) really was the illegitimate daughter of king John III of Sweden, as is often claimed. As we all know, we can determine the mother, but the father is often hard to determine even in the modern times, not to mention the time of Jaakko De la Gardie. | |||

:During the ] Sweden was for long ruled by the Danish King. Nearly all governing officials in Sweden were either Danes or Germans, more so than in Finland. Yet, the few Swedish officials of the period were - and still are -considered "Swedish", eventhough they were governed by the Danes. Similarly, those Finnish officials operating during the period of Sweden-Finland were naturally Finnish, if they were from Finland and of a Finnish descend, regardless what languages they spoke (often that part is hard to fully determine anyway). | |||

Revision as of 14:53, 25 March 2006
KvenAs I have pointed out before (see User talk:Dbachmann#Need_attention for my reply to Ghirlandajo), the person filling the Kven page with OR is obviously the same Finnish chauvinist who has been problematic in other ways as well (such as changing the name of Jacob De la Gardie to the Finnish Jaakko - Finnish nationalists like to pretend that everyone always spoke Finnish in Finland - and making him a "Finnish field marshal", a job that didn't exist before Mannerheim). His editing has been from a couple of recurring IPs and a few different usernames. Personally, I'd like to see his IPs permanently blocked. A checkuser would probably be useful too, just to make sure all usernames really are the same user (the MO has always been the same, as far as I have seen). Tupsharru 21:37, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Anons (currently 80.179.227.80 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) once you blocked the previous one) keep turning up (whose IPs, when googled, turn up in open proxy lists ) and are almost certainly Bonapartian socks. --Latinus 22:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC) One more questionAbout the Belarusian emblem article, what happens if the AID fails?

Thanks! Bz2 19:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC) Donald KnuthHi Mikkalai, you mentioned Knuth's article about computational complexity of songs was reprinted twice in computer science journals. Do you have a reference (or two...) for this article ? I did not know about it and would be interested in having a look (and maybe add the ref to the article, if applicable). Cheers, Schutz 20:21, 9 March 2006 (UTC) MoS OverlinkingI did find it at WP:MOS#Wikilinking, but I am not sure how Bobblewik influenced it. However, I will not revert your revert. User:Zscout370 05:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
User:FisssThis guy is a nuisance. He is busily uploading copyvio texts all day, which I'm quite tired to remove. --Ghirla 17:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC) The March (1945)I see that you have modified this article and now refer to it as a Death march. While portions were obviously conducted under the definitions of a Death March (a deliberate attempt to kill some or all of the marchers), the entire march was really a retreat from the advancing Soviet Army. Regards Oldfarm 02:45, 11 March 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the reply. I had not seen the Death marches (Holocaust) article. Regards Oldfarm 03:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC) Minor thoughts of KvensIt appears to me that user-with-many-handles is more disruptive than constructive? In particular he violates WP:OWN, harassess other continously, abuses handles, and abuses the talk page. I'd rather we use the normal Wiki-way of letting the article expand itself, and block the user in question for being disruptive, instead of having him continue edit the article. His contributions are of a very small value, as far as I see it. During my copyedit the last day, I found the same material being repeated again and again, clouded by cryptical tone. Do you agree with me?` Fred-Chess 18:13, 11 March 2006 (UTC) Bible und MuhammedI have posted a comment on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Bible und Muhammed. It would be nice if you could take a look at it. Pecher 21:22, 11 March 2006 (UTC) Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Hadith of Umar's speech of forbidding Mut'ahHey. I saw your vote on this AfD and I wanted to challenge it. Why? I will show you. Here is where I explained it to Striver. In short, google search for the title of that article. You only get wikipedia as a result. You will find this for just about all of the hadith articles made by Striver. So, we must ask... why are we using this title? No sources are given for the title so we can only assume that Striver made up the title from looking at the primary source (often his only source in violantion of WP:NOR). I ask you to reconsider your vote because we cannot pretend to be a respectable encyclopedia if we are adding new names for hadith as part of the discourse. We regurgitate material about the subject by scholars in an NPOV fashion. When Striver makes up a title and we vote to keep it we are losing credibility... it's that simple. Yes, hadith may deserve places here like verses of the Bible... we are not a paper encyclopedia... but let's not let that cloud our vision and keep the hadith article under a made up title. We need sources giving us a title and commentaries on that hadith... not merely a link to the hadith itself. gren グレン 09:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC) BonnyCheck today's edits of user:12.26.76.73 and user:84.179.10.172. --Ghirla 16:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC) KvenHi Mikkalai, I've s-protected it.

Coding by Comrade ReguspatoffCould you please take look on this? There's no source, Google in English shown nothing but perhaps it is used in Russian. TIA Pavel Vozenilek 02:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC) Fred cleanupHello, Mikkalai. You have marked de disambiguation page Fred as {{disambig-cleanup}}. As I have used this very page to exercite my knowledge on the DAB pages Manual of Style , I wonder what are yours suggestions on what can be changed on that article to meet the styles? Thanks, --Abu Badali 17:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC) Anti-romanian/Transnistriain order to diminish the russian POV there do you have some information on the way Ukraine blocked Transnistrian products? Work in this direction not in the anti-romanian one. --Bidon 17:41, 14 March 2006 (UTC) I will take a look this evening. mikka (t) 17:44, 14 March 2006 (UTC) Ukraine blocked Transnistrian companiesUkraine blocked Transnistrian companies to export in Ukraine as of 11 March 2006. In these days this political construction made by the former KGB and sovietic people lives its last days. It will further unite with Moldova and later on with Romania in a United Europe. Talk:Eastern Front (World War II)When you have time, please take a look at the page. Now they are going to replace the existing article with a new one, with goofy tables and thoroughly pro-German. As one editor noted, the new version "is also very German-centric. That is, most of the article is written with German intentions or German decisions foremost, and the Soviets are almost offstage in much of the writing. Some of the battle overviews conflict with the specific battle articles - this is especially true with the Kursk campaign summary, which differs sharply with the Kursk article". Unfortunately, as I don't edit Soviet-related topics, I'm not versed in the subject, yet it seems to me that the issue is too significant historically to be edited sloppily. --Ghirla 18:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Test page is bad idea in this case. It will be waste of time to go line by line and trace all differences from the privious version. You have to present your changes for discussion one by one. You have insufficient reputation to have your veriosn accepted as a new base. mikka (t) 19:49, 14 March 2006 (UTC) You have no idea what you are talking about for months and months I have been fighting check the archives read every post I have made and learn and if you are not willing to do this then you shouldnt comment on anything (Deng 20:59, 14 March 2006 (UTC)) ShestidesyatnikI was looking for an article on this among different cats and haven't found one. I am surprised you haven't wrote it yet :). Please consider... Thanks! --Irpen 21:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC) internet phenomenonhey, thanks for looking around the Internet phenomenon. Just to let you know, a lot of these articles USED to have wikipedia articles, but they were deleted. Many times, they were deleted under the statement that "a listing on the Internet Phenomenon page is good enough." I can vouch for a number of the article you deleted as being very list-worthy. Just wanted to let you know that "no article, no phenomenon" is not valid for inclusion on this particular list. If you disagree, then maybe we should talk about it on the talk page. I'll start off a conversation there. Thanks! Sparsefarce 00:06, 15 March 2006 (UTC) Newbie QuestionFirst off: Thanks for fixing a couple of style errors in my Feathering article. I'm relatively new to wikipedia, and I appreciate my errors being fixed...I learn a bit about Misplaced Pages's etiquette and style every day. Now...you put the "unreferenced" tag on the page. I wrote the article entirely from my knowledge. I assumed it was common knowledge. Should I go and try to find references for each item on the page? If I do, I'm afraid I won't find any information that is any more valid/official than my own knowledge. Is this still worth putting into the article? You did not cite the additional piece of information you added...does this mean that only parts of what I have need references? Thanks again for your help! SearedIce 04:59, 15 March 2006 (UTC) UkrainophoneThank you for adding several links to this new article! Kevlar67 22:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Please consult withCreators and contributors of articles where you perform such drastic deletions. --Molobo 01:40, 16 March 2006 (UTC) Ok seems appropriate if it won't conceal the information. --Molobo 01:45, 16 March 2006 (UTC) :)"Please keep in mind that the "cite reference" tag is not a threat to you, it is a reminder to all of us that an important element is missing." Yes, I understand...I was seriously just looking for your help. I'm sorry if it sounded like I was accusing you of something... Happy editing, SearedIce 03:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC) User:FisssThis guy seems to be reforming, and yet the pictures he downloads look suspiciously like copyvios to me.

Silicone holocaustGood call on the Silicone holocaust article, it really doesn't belong on Misplaced Pages. Your reasons for deletion, although valid, are not phrased exceptionally well, which makes it somewhat hard to understand. It would be generally appreciated if you were to take more care in writting such explanations in the future. Happy editing. Bobby1011 02:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC) user:Alucard sepetdalvHi!

This problem does not fall under the jurisdiction of Meta-admins or stewards. This is a local EN wikipedia matter.

Why did you not provide an edit summary of your removal as per the guideline on the tag: that is: "To avoid confusion, you are encouraged to explain the reason for removal in the edit summary."? I do not gather from your talk page arguemnts that you disagree that it is a probable copyvio but I understand you have not come up with the evidence that it is inddeed a copyvio.

Russian jokesWhy didn't you like the joke about the KPSS? It was both Russian (in language) and Soviet (in its subject). And showed people's attitude toward the Communist Party members very well.

Just wanted to point this out: Misplaced Pages contributor Kuban coSSack's talking about dictatorial ruler Lukashenka (who massively and monstrously falsified the vote) and today's storming of the October square, when hundreds of special police arrested peaceful demonstrators, totally destoryed the camp, threw empty vodka bottles into the mess and videotaped that for Belarusan state television. Here's Kuban coSSack's comment about this police action and break-up of a peaceful protest, which took place at 3AM so that there would be no witnesses of their activity:
