Welcome
editHello, Mikhail Frunze, 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:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
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.

Holodomor
editWhatever issues you have with Holodomor, please raise them at talk first. This is a very controversial topic, exactly the one for which: WP:BOLD#…but don't be reckless! is written. Also, reading older talk archives and some of the link in the end of the article would be a good idea. TIA, --Irpen 23:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comments at Holodomor. I will try to answer them. In return I ask you to please answer the questions asked to you at talk, specifically about the info from Wheatcroft. There is an important difference between the excess death number according to the statistics and the famine loss. The way you inserted the former number as one of the estimates of Holodomor victims was misleading while the quote in the footnote was apparently correct. Unfortunately, I haven't seen Wheatcroft book, but the online review provides much different numbers for his estimates (see article's talk), although, if I understand correctly, these estimates are for an entire SU. So, please be a little more responsive to the dialog rather than just editing the article your way and stating the problems you have with it. I agree, the article isn't perfect. More at talk later. Thanks, --Irpen 03:14, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
User notice: 3rr
editPlease refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. William M. Connolley 19:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
