Welcome

edit

Hello, EvgenyGenkin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

If you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to anounce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.

Finally, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

Again, welcome! —dima talksb 20:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

IP vandalism

edit

Regarding your report at Wikipedia:Requests for investigation: IPs change a lot, so unless there is a persistent problem from an IP, nothing can be done about it because in most cases the person who vandalized is long gone to some other IP. Thanks for fixing the vandalism though. If you have any other questions about Wikipedia, I would be happy to help. —Centrxtalk • 03:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Заявка на арбитраж

edit

Вероятно, Вы уже видели: Википедия:Заявки на арбитраж/Ситуация вокруг статьи "Реактивный ранец" и действия администратора Alex Spade. Надеюсь, заявка будет принята к рассмотрению и рассмотрена в разумные сроки, без обычных проволочек. Мне неприятно видеть написанную мной статью в изуродованном виде. Всем остальным участникам русской Википедии, может быть, и приятно, а вот мне - нет. Dart evader 10:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Река Харьков

edit

Русское написание в статье о реке на Украине неуместно.--Reino Helismaa (talk) 11:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Почему? Evgeny (talk) 15:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Украина нынче независимое государство, и единственный официальный и государственный язык там - украинский. Да, де-факто в Харькове большинство населения говорит по-русски, но официально это нигде не закреплено.--Reino Helismaa (talk) 20:12, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Это все понятно, однако в связи с тем, что говорят на русском, в связи с тем, что русское название используется и указано на многих (если не на большинстве) карт города и области, эта информация полезна, и я прошу ее не убирать. Традиции Википедии в такой ситуации заключаются в том, чтобы все широко используемые варианты названий могут быть перечислены. Например, обратите внимание на аналогичные случаи с другими языками -- посмотрите статью про озеро Ван: вы найдете вариант названия на курдском... Evgeny (talk) 21:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Ну хорошо, в статье про Харьков пусть остаётся, но уж в статье про Киев точно неуместно.--Reino Helismaa (talk) 22:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
