== Open proxies ==

Hi, could you please do something about the [[Republic of Moldova]] article? Anons (currently {{vandal|80.179.227.80}} once you blocked the previous one) keep turning up (whose IPs, when googled, turn up in open proxy lists [http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%2280.179.227.80%22&sm=Yahoo%21+Search&fr=FP-tab-web-t&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8]) and are almost certainly Bonapartian socks. --[[User:Latinus|Latinus]] 22:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I've been figuring out what I did wrong, and I think I managed to track down the other problems and fix them. Thanks! [[User:Bz2|Bz2]] 19:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

== [[Donald Knuth]] ==

Hi 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, [[User:Schutz|Schutz]] 20:21, 9 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 [[User:Oldfarm|Oldfarm]] 02:45, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I had not seen the [[Death marches (Holocaust)]] article. Regards [[User:Oldfarm|Oldfarm]] 03:29, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

== Minor thoughts of [[Kven]]s ==

It 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?`

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hadith of Umar's speech of forbidding Mut'ah]] ==

Hey.  I saw your vote on this AfD and I wanted to challenge it.  Why?  I will show you.  [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AStriver&diff=43568698&oldid=43461581 Here] is where I explained it to Striver.  In short, [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=%22Hadith+of+Umar%27s+speech+of+forbidding+Mut%27ah%22&btnG=Search 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. [[User:Grenavitar|gren]] [[User talk:Grenavitar|グレン]] 09:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== [[Fred]] cleanup ==

Hello, Mikkalai.

You have marked de disambiguation page [[Fred]] as {{tl|disambig-cleanup}}. As I have used this very page to exercite my knowledge on the [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(disambiguation_pages)|DAB pages Manual of Style]] , I wonder what are yours suggestions on what can be changed on that article to meet the styles? Thanks, --[[User:Abu badali|Abu Badali]] 17:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

==[[Anti-romanian]]/[[Transnistria]]==

in 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. --[[User:Bidon|Bidon]] 17:41, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I will take a look this evening. [[user:mikkalai|mikka]] [[user talk:mikkalai|(t)]] 17:44, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

==Ukraine blocked Transnistrian companies ==
Ukraine 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. --[[User:Ghirlandajo|Ghirla]] <sup>[[User_talk:Ghirlandajo|-трёп-]]</sup> 18:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


It aint pro-german I have balanced it I made the test page I know what pro german is you should have seen the versions before and the edit war that followed. And there are huge diffrences with my test page and the locked one. That editor who said it is very german centric only wishes to glorify the germans and nothing else dont make comments unless you know the whole story.([[User:SuperDeng|Deng]] 19:33, 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. [[user:mikkalai|mikka]] [[user talk:mikkalai|(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 ([[User:SuperDeng|Deng]] 20:59, 14 March 2006 (UTC))

I 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! --[[User:Irpen|Irpen]] 21:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== internet phenomenon ==

hey, 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!

== Newbie Question ==

First 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 Wikipedia'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!

Good call on the Silicone holocaust article, it really doesn't belong on Wikipedia.

Your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Infernal_machine&diff=44756360&oldid=44743072 recent edit of the Infernal Machine article] removed a ''prod tag'' I had placed there.  Did you read the [[Talk:Infernal machine]] where I had explained my action?  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. How do you suggest we resolve if not going through a deletion process.  Why do you seek to make the deletion process more convoluted?--[[User:AYArktos|A  Y  Arktos]] 08:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

*The reason I placed the prod tag there is because in my opinion the article cannot be deleted as a copyvio.  I had gone to do just that and there is in fact no evidence on the intenret that it is a copyvio.  The orginal contributer has not asserted it is a copyvio.  There is no web based text that matches it.  On what basis then would you delete it as a copyvio?  When you remove a prod tag next time, please read ther talk page and plaease provide a reason.

Pryvitannie, Mikka. Just wanted to point this out: Wikipedia 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:

Dear fellow Wikipedians, do you understand that the only purpose of his contributions on articles about Belarus (such as [[Belarusian language]], [[Belarusian history]], [[Belarus]], etc.) is to push Russian imperial POV and lies?
