"Instead of one vote (yes/no/neutral) make the whole table, with, I do not know, ten criteria: experience, ...": I'd like to make the case that, in a way, that's a vote in favor of Rfacom. I agree that dividing things up like that is a really good idea ... but can we expect every voter to do it? Being fair to candidates is hard ... just managing to get in one comment without screwing something up is hard for some voters. I buy your argument that the candidates deserve this ... I just see no evidence that the typical RfA voters can supply it. - Dank (push to talk) 21:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- I mentioned there that I believe the idea is good, but has no chance to pass. Generally, I am very sceptical about the existing governance model, which outright kills almost all ideas (to get PC working, one needed to discuss for three years and then to sacrifice four administrators, and FR, which are several years overdue, are not even on the agenda). On the other hand, this is life - the community has grown enough, and is reluctant to change anything. Getting 2/3 for even really simple and not ground-breaking things became a pain in the ass long time ago.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:48, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
International sports calendar 2013
As you were previously involved in International sports calendar 2012, there is a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International sports calendar 2013, which you may be interested in.Lihaas (talk) 03:04, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Wikilivres
Yaroslav, did you see this: Commons:Commons:Requests for comment/Commons Abroad and related ideas? I stumbled across the problem with the mass deletions of PD images by Leo Gestel that apparently fall under copyright in the US. These have been transferred to Wikilivres. I was thinking of you because of the problems with WLM photos of architecture from the Ukraine - perhaps those can be hosted in Canada as well? If so it could greatly help the Ukraine project. Jane (talk) 07:41, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- No, I have not see it yet, thanks for letting me know. I will have a look. Indeed, transferring not-FoP images from the former Soviet Union to an external site like Wikilivres would be a good idea.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:56, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Dear friend I have a question for you.why its written on religion in russia that tatarstan has 51.7%muslim population.in article,islam in tatarstan muslim percentage is 55%.in article tatarstan muslim percentage is 33.7.i am confused. Rajputbhatti (talk) 13:08, 19 January 2013 (UTC) |
- Thanks. The article was vandalized several times and it is possible that parts of it still contain wrong numbers. The source in the article on Tatarstan is reliable, so that I assume the numbers are correct.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:23, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Discussion on the AFT5 Request for Comment
Hey Ymblanter - this is to notify you that there is a discussion starting on the Article Feedback RfC talkpage that has ramifications for the RfC itself. Your input is much appreciated :). Thanks! and apologies if I've missed anyone Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 16:51, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

- I have added a good deal of text. But it still needs more text on Economy and Culture, if you could find from Russian web sites or books.--Nvvchar. 09:03, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for expanding. I had an impression I added pretty much everything (after all, this is an obscure settlement in the middle of nowhere), but I will have a look.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:56, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

- No problem, I have similar difficulties in the morning, I am just several hours ahead of you. Thanks again for cleaning this mess up. I am sure there must be more Ulyanovkas in Kazakhstan, but these can be dealt with when we discover them.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:42, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
DYK for Balagansk
On 5 February 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Balagansk, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Balagansk in Siberia is a new township established after the old town was submerged by the construction of the Bratsk Hydroelectric Power Station (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Balagansk. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Ukraine
Здравствуйте. Буду с вами на русском так как вы его понимаете. Я удаляю из статей об украинских городах текст о написании их названий на русском. Причина в том, что в Украине один государственный язык. А такой текст политически ангажированными. Википедия является политически нейтральным проектом, поэтому такие надписи не уместны. Пожалуйста не отменяйте мои правки! Спасибо! :)Vovkulaka rtm (talk) 17:57, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
- Would you please speak English. The questions you raise were discussed multiple times at the talk page, and the current state of the article is the result of this consensus. Please stop edit warring. Thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:17, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Progress over at Today's articles for improvement
I was reading an old conversation you participated in, and I thought I'd mention how much progress has gone on over at Today's articles for improvement. If you missed it, an RFC was held and concensus was established that the TAFI content should be placed below the DYK content. We will be launching the feature on the Main Page shortly, and the Main Page sandbox shows it will look. Participation on the talk page is always welcome. --NickPenguin(contribs) 04:37, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Krasnogvardeysky District
On this, could you please change the reference to support the new date range? The book I quoted says that "Krasnogvardeysky District was established in 1927 and renamed in 1944"; there is no mention of "Trotsky" at all, so if the book is wrong on this, it's problematic to keep it as a source.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); February 8, 2013; 16:03 (UTC)

Yulian Semyonov
Hello. Thank you for intervening in my dispute with Galassi. However, it seems that this individual is determined to keep this unsourced material in the article at all costs. I'm not overly familiar with how to resolve a dispute, so I'm wondering if you could offer some advice on how best to proceed from here. Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.100.103.67 (talk) 15:37, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- WP:ANI: using the rollback to revert smth which is not vandalism; cleaning up his talk page with the comment "rm bs"; edit warring. Apparently, they were notified before.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- On the other hand, the father of Semyonov was indeed most likely Jewish.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:53, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, so to clarify are you saying that I need to take the following steps?
- 1. File a report with WP:ANI
- 2. Accuse Galassi of inappropriate use of rollback
- 3. Accuse Galassi of cleaning up his talk page
- 4. Accuse Galassi of edit warring
- You also say that the father of Semyonov was probably Jewish. I'm not arguing with you, but what makes you think that he was? Thanks for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.100.103.67 (talk) 16:08, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- The name clearly sounds Jewish.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:14, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- Judging by the picture of him in the article, and from what you say, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was. Even so, it still needs a citation so I'll take it up with admin if no ref is forthcoming from Galassi soon. Thank you for educating a noob ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.100.103.67 (talk) 16:29, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- That's exactly my point. And I am not sure how reasonable is to include him to the category of Jewish writers.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Вопрос и просьба
[1] - не понял смысл данной правки. Учитывая, что в англвики я никого больше не знаю, решил обратится к Вам. Заодно: не могли бы вы оформить и уточнить переведенные мною из рувики статьи Scientific myth, Slavic fantasy и Letter Zyu? Я просто не знаю правил оформления статей в англвики - например не работают шаблоны статья и книга, ну и сам английский в статьях я думаю с огрехами. Приношу огромные извинения за беспокойство и заранее благодарю. Vyacheslav84 (talk) 15:48, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Я не понимаю смысла данной правки, видимо, надо обратиться к её автору. Касательно указанных ими статей, это ведь за развитие этих тем вас когда-то бессрочно заблокировали в русской Википедии, не так ли? Почему же Вы думаете, что английская Википедия должна являться мусоросборником, если Вы даже в своём родном проекте не можете их написать нормально?--Ymblanter (talk) 15:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- В рувики они восстановлены. [2], [3] и [4]. Vyacheslav84 (talk) 15:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Ну, хорошо, я их не буду выносить тут на удаление, но с доработкой, боюсь, помочь не смогу.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:54, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Касательно шаблонов ссылок, в том числе и на книгу, в нашем проекте их легко сформировать, нажав на правую кнопку непосредственно над окном редактирования.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:56, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Хорошо, попробую сам оформить. Vyacheslav84 (talk) 15:58, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata and the WP:EN article Enclave and exclave
Hi. I've been experimenting with Wikidata, adding various statements and correcting interwiki links were necessary. But I've come across an issue with the WP:EN article Enclave and exclave, which covers two linked concepts in one article. This makes it very hard to provide links for the Wikidata concepts of enclave and exclave, especially as Wikidata does not appear to let me set up interwiki links pointing at redirect pages. I've discused this further at Talk:Enclave and exclave#Reconsideration of merge of enclave and exclave, mostly from the perspective of whether we should demerge the article. As somebody who seems to be involved in the integration of Wikidata and WP:EN, you may like to comment there. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 16:39, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

The map is obviously replaceable, I think it is pretty much obvious.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:39, 6 March 2013 (UTC) Проблема в том, что контур и фон имеют очень малое значение в карте. Суть карты в спец. знаках и их взаимном расположении. Сами понимаете, что при перерисовке карты их придется переносить точь в точь с оригинала. Т.е. АП на сами знаки и их расположение не исчезнет. В таких условиях нет смысла менять контур и фон карты. А без спец. знаков эта карта никому не нужна. Т.е. суть карты останется защищена АП. Vyacheslav84 (talk) 13:54, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ничего там не защищено, это фактическая информация. Берёте свободный контур Калининградской области, в нужные знаки расставляете какие хотите логотипы (хоть разноцветные крестики, хоть чёрные силуэты), и карта готова. Точность до миллиметра в ней не нужна. Никаких перспектив у настоящей карты для КДИ нет в принципе, удалят, как только срок выйдет. О чём, собственно, Стефан Вам сразу и сказал.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:17, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Admin?
Hi there. I've taken a look through your edits and you seem to be a down to earth editor willing to help out where needed, with article writing being your forte. As a result, I was wondering if you've considered running for adminship at RFA. I'd be willing to nominate you if you were up for it. Wizardman 04:36, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- Good, once this list was created I knew at some point someone would show up on my talk page and ask whether I would be interested to run. Still, I am really pleased I was one of the first ones to approach, thanks for approaching me. Let us do it. I want to ask two other users to be (co)-nominators; I actually do not particularly care who would be the main nominator. User:Ezhiki is reading my talk page and already volunteered to nominate me in the past, and the second prospective co-nominator I need to contact. Let me create the RfA page first and then see what would be the best way to proceed.
I will be travelling over Easter, so that it would be good to have this RfA in the air this week if possible.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:06, 13 March 2013 (UTC)- Oh, now I see that the RfA page must be created by the nominator. I would much appreciate if you create it, then I can make my statement and answer the questions.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:20, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- User:WereSpielChequers agreed to be a (co)-nominator but said it would take time.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:46, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. I'll write up my nom tonight and post it here, we can then wait for the co-noms. Wizardman 02:27, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Wizardman would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Wizardman to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ymblanter. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so. |
- Thanks, will do tonight.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:15, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

? Vyacheslav84 (talk) 07:32, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- I am not sure what you want to know. If the question concerns the same map we already discussed four times, then the locations of the bases are not protected by copyright, and this is up to you to select the symbols you want to use to designate these locations. Note this is the fifth time I have to explain this to you, with so far the same result.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:53, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

1. Нет это не про военные карты, а про топокарту пещеры. Ну в общем я хочу убедится в том, свободное оно или нет. И для этой цели разместил и здесь и на викискладе. Если оставят, значит я правило викисклада правильно толкую. Ну и на всякий случай скопировал и туда и сюда, чтобы получить двойное потверждение. А к вам я обратился в том смысле, что она ведь в ОД по приведенному мной правилу? Ну и я не уверен, что в файле шаблон ОД стоит той разновидности, что надо (ведь есть несколько разновидностей шаблона ОД?). Vyacheslav84 (talk) 09:21, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- Да, по-моему, ОД, но если у Вас есть сомнения, спросите на Коммонз: там достаточно экспертов по копирайту.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:23, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- Спасибо за ответ, а лучше обратиться на русскоязычный форум викисклада или английский? Vyacheslav84 (talk) 09:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Ой, Славочка, я еще забыла, а это наверняка важно: его дед был академиком. Carl Gabliz became academician of the Petersburg Academy of Sciences. То есть семья вполне приличная, правильно выбрал, где родиться, это же важно. И дедушку, наверно, тоже надо в квадратные скобки. В русских источниках он есть. Спасибо. --Lawrentia (talk) 16:44, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- Спасибо, сейчас добавлю.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:45, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Я тоже только сейчас увидела, что дала неправильный спеллинг. Прошу прощения. Спасибо. Хоть что-то приличное стало. О такой персоналии нигде нет приличной статьи, сейчас во Франц. сделаю. То, что в РуВи - это я даже говорить не могу. Спасибо еще раз. Lawrentia (talk) 16:52, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Хорошо, ссылки подберу. Они есть, конечно. --Lawrentia (talk) 17:08, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Я нашла портрет Габлица - деда: http://www.balaklawa.com.ua/66.html - если нужно. --Lawrentia (talk) 19:12, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- Боюсь, пока мы не знаем, кто автор, использовать нельзя. Фотографии-то ещё не было, в лучшем случае переснятая картина, в худшем - фейк.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:19, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Наверняка картина. Так тогда рисовали портреты. А лицо значимое - наверняка заказывали портрет. Но вот кто художник, не нашла. --Lawrentia (talk) 19:24, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- Славочка, а посмотрите французскую статью: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Serov - у меня такое ощущение, что это портрет деда Габлица, во всяком случае Гугл дает так: http://www.google.ru/search?hl=en&newwindow=1&q=%D0%B3%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%86%20%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BB%20%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&biw=854&bih=546&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=2ThGUcnsDJap4AOLwYHACw Вместе с тем этот же портрет дается как портрет композитора Серова: http://all-photo.ru/portret/serov/index.ru.html Похоже, у них такой же бардак, как у нас. --Lawrentia (talk) 21:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- Да, причём я не вижу, как в этом можно разобраться. Думаю, надо ждать, пока какой-нибудь достоверный прижизненный портрет Габлица найдётся, например, в старой книге какой-нибудь.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:01, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

А это фото картины. Вообще-то я думаю, что это внук. Если сравнить с другими портретами Серова. Они, конечно, должны быть похожи, но не до такой степени. Кто-то не шибко грамотный увидел портрет Серова, а в книгах наверняка писалась биография начиная от деда - и решил, что это портрет деда - так и пошло. Все же переписывают друг у друга.

Спасибо. Извините, что я вас так использовала. Мой английский такой, что на бытовом уровне мою примитивную мысль донести можно, но для написания статей литературным языком – явно не тянет.

Слава, спасибо вам большое, что вы потратили столько времени на меня. Это особо приятно после всех наших недопонятностей. Я – по-русски, мне так легче. Я просмотрела еще раз ссылки. Я поняла, в чем дело. После моей статьи в другом проекте (я поняла, у вас там свои какие-то отношения, но тут все больше занимаются отношениями друг с другом, нежели делом) – а в балетных сайтах мои статьи уже давно изучаются и на них ставятся ссылки – я много видела, - и люди в этих сайтах удалили текст с явным советским пасквилем – т.е. в самих книгах-энциклопедиях он наверняка еще есть, и какие-то ЖЖ, LJ и т.д. сканируют статьи оттуда – и там все это так и стоит, пример: самый конец: http://vivien-m.livejournal.com/69901.html и http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/vio379/view/404657/?page=0 – это как раз скан или перепечатка того что было. В сайте Балетной энциклопедии еще так и стоит, что она уехала в Париж в 1926 году. Но в 2009 году в Питере вышла книга весьма небольшим тиражом: Новые исследования и материалы / Сост. Н. Л. Дунаева. Спб. Балтийские сезоны. 2009—312 с. ISNB 978-5-903368-45-0. Мне ее оттуда и перекинули. Но сейчас у меня ее нет. Это сборник статей по документам касаемо русского балета. Там есть статья: Мария Мариусовна Петипа. Пунктир судьбы. Автор: Н. Л. Дунаева. И вот в ней приведена масса документов. В том числе про советские газеты, обвинившие ее в предательстве родины, что она уехала в 1926 году и перевела во Францию всю свою пенсию, которую ей особым распоряжением выдало Советское правительство + за то, что она дочь своего отца (уже странно: страна была в разрухе, императорские пенсии не выплачивались, а вот ей, видите ли, выдали еще и за отца; да еще каким-то образом позволили перевести деньги в другую вражескую страну). Так вот: статья из книги дает документы, что она писала письма о вспомоществовании во все советские наркоматы до 1927 года, последнее письмо подписано 1927 годом. Вот из этого автор делает вывод, что уехала старая дама (1857 года рождения) в 1928 году (а никак не в 1926). Там же приводятся слова критика-эмигранта Светлова, что она жила крайне одиноко, бедно и тихо. Зарабатывать она не могла по возрасту, но на какие-то крошечные деньги как-то существовала. И шуму понаделало только сообщение о ее смерти – выдающаяся балерина, которую знал весь Петербург. Тогда и вспомнили, а многие русские эмигранты и не знали, что она тоже в Париже – настолько тихо и тяжело жила. Теперь по самой нашей статье. В источниках балетной энциклопедии действительно удалены пасквильные фразы из советских газет. Они были. Можете мне поверить. И кто-то их оттуда еще берет и повторяет. Но как это всё сказать в статье – я тут без вас и Ёжиков не справлюсь. Lawrentia (talk) 13:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC) Спасибо еще раз. Я, правда, очень тронута вашей помощью. --Lawrentia (talk) 13:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC) P.S. Мне кажется, что такая информация должна быть. Спасибо. --Lawrentia (talk) 13:14, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ну так расставьте ссылки на эту статью Дунаевой, и проблем не будет. Касательно того абзаца, что я убрал - мне кажется, было бы довольно странно писать, что что-то, на что у нас нет источников, опровергается чем-то другим, на что у нас тоже нет источников, тем более, если к самой персоне это имеет крайне отдалённое отношение. Но, если Вы считаете, что это очень важно и обязательно должно быть в статье - хорошо, но там тоже потребуются ссылки. ЖЖ в качестве источников в любом случае не пойдёт, разве что у Дунаевой есть свой блог, и она там выложила эту статью - но тогда бы я её поиском сразу и нашёл.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:22, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- Я чего-то делаю не так: у меня не проставляется ссылка на книгу - она как раз под все вопросы. А компьютер в ответ ругается на английском языке и не ставит ссылку. Спасибо. --Lawrentia (talk) 14:20, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Altaic languages Needs Admin Help
Hi Ymblanter,
I'm the one who started this thread on the Altaic languages article:
Unfortunately nothing actually got resolved.
The whole point is that good editors can't do anything at the article because there's a gang controlling it. They just refuse to provide any references and edit-war the article to their liking.
Also your referral to "Fringe Theories" is not quite right — their position is scientific, just not a very widely-accepted one, and they're trying to dominate the article with it.
The article also got locked in the bad version for a week to make matters worse.
Wikipedia (not me, dying to wash my hands of this) needs an admin to give some attention to a blatantly distortionary, kidnapped, article:
- Minimum -- "controversial subject" banner across the top that only admins can remove (hopefully says "Reason: Inclusion of Korean and Japanese in Altaic not widely accepted")
- More -- review my NPOV version with me, compare to sources, touch up, super-lock, ban evil editors.
- Most -- go through lengthy "moderator" process in the article's Talk section.
Sorry to bother you personally, but you're the one who closed the Admin Noticeboard thread, and I'm finding a distinct lack of official process for pursuing this necessary pursuit further. I see you're a new admin. If there's another admin I should talk to just let me know.

- This is a content dispute, and admins have nothing to say in content disputes, not more than any other editors. This is why ANI discussion became useless after the page got protected. We can only perform administrative actions such as blocking or page protection, but we can not really decide on content. I see that there is discussion going on the talk page, and let it go on until consensus is found. Btw I would appreciate if you stop evading your block.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:42, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
But the point is they are violating the basic Wikipedia content principal by writing an article without references to back it up. What if a gang of creationists takes over a human evolution article and re-writes it to say Darwin is a former theory now proven wrong — without any references. Every time someone tries to correct this, they reverse it. There are more of them than the editors trying to fix the article, so the good editors get banned for "edit warring". The article is giving blatantly distorted information to the public, and any admin can see this. I know that admins very much do get involved in "content" for biographies of living people.
Is there some higher level of appeal for article issues, above the Admin Noticeboard? I'm aware of the major dispute resolution process where the Wikipedia board gets involved, but hope I don't have to go that far!

- Also I'm pretty sure I've seen "Controversial Subject" banners that only admins can remove (?). — 98.180.19.232 (talk) 12:36, 7 April 2013 (UTC)AltaicNPOV
- You could try Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard, but not before the talk page discussion gets stale.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:51, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! Just a comment that it would have been good to have gotten referred to Dispute Resolution (or to Formal Mediation and Arbitration which I'm also now finding) when I first posted the issue to the Admin Noticeboard — if nothing could actually be done to help there.
It's been a very lengthy and unpleasant experience trying to deal with this, and few other people would go through the trouble — especially not for a problem article they just noticed in passing while browsing around Wikipedia! Which leaves all those gang-controlled distorted Wikipedia articles up.
Can you personally undo the block on the User:AltaicNPOV account, or make a request to someone in charge of that, vouching for me — you know I'm only trying to be constructive here on Wikipedia, but this is time-consuming and difficult to explain and document.
And I'm finding illogical/arbitrary/unexplained admin behavior, with no appeal, and further arbitrary blocking preventing appeals, to be the norm in this Franz Kafka story... I mean this process of dealing with Wikipedia administration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.180.13.177 (talk) 15:56, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
- No, I am sorry, I promised not to deal with blocks on my RFA. The easies is to sit out the block and then act. Or otherwise to ask to be unblocked at the talk page of your main account.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:04, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
- Some mad vindictive admin has blocked that account for eternity. Do you have any admin friends who might be able to help? I'm doing none of this for myself you know, and the article actually is a distortion (as you mention in your referral to Fringe Theories) — that in addition to me every other Wikipedian who becomes aware of this should be trying to do something about. Could you maybe bring the issue to a private admin discussion area, refer it to your "supervisor" (?!), etc.?
- It's really a problem as otherwise I'll have to wait a while and come back with a new account, can't cite my previous efforts etc. Looking like I'll just drop the issue. Leaving a bad article up permanently. It's the lack of enthusiasm to prevent that which is so mystifying me about admins. Why volunteer for Wikipedia if you aren't passionate about Wikipedia articles? Yes, I'm getting around to asking if you might like to take on dealing with reforming the Altaic Languages article yourself so I can go on with my life :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.180.13.177 (talk) 16:32, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
- I do not have friends, and as a matter of principle I am not on IRC or whatever. Please post an unblock notice on your talk page.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:41, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I'll try that... maybe. Not quite convinced you couldn't do something with the article block and/or a "controversial" banner, but thanks anyway for discussing the matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.180.13.177 (talk) 17:14, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Ярослав, здравствуйте. Прошу удалить эту страницу (мне не нужна). Заранее спасибо. — Stas1995 (talk) 14:34, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Good move, thanks
For the PP on Dépardieu, just about to go off-wiki and I really think this person needs to take it to talk where, IMHO, it is very unlikely that this material be approved for the article. CaptainScreebo Parley! 17:18, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Ruswelcome
Hi, Yaroslav! Just so you know, we have a {{Ruswelcome}} template, which is a modification of the standard welcome template that also mentions WP:RUSSIA; it's useful in welcoming editors who are interested in Russian topics. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 18, 2013; 17:38 (UTC)
- Right, I should have known that, since this is what I got from you. Thanks for reminding.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:40, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Pruning the list of seas...
Hi there Ymblanter, good to meet you. I think we will need to work further on the list of seas (which just makes clear the weaknesses of the list that was there before, I didn't add any seas to it). We could split off Mediterranean from Atlantic; we could remove many of the Bays; ... and I suspect there are gaps, also. All the best --- Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- I think the only way to get a comprehensible list is to find a source which lists them all, like a big atlas. I will see what can be done.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:00, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Спасибо. --Lawrentia (talk) 19:26, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
- Не за что, я пока ничего не сделал, и сегодня и не сделаю.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:28, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Во-первых, уже что-то сделали - редиректы на другие языки. Во-вторых, спасибо за готовность помочь. Уже тоже не в первый раз. И я этому очень рада. Вы знаете, что я хочу сказать. Я, правда, очень рада. Так что при всех случаях - большое спасибо. А статья эта должна быть. Вы сами увидете, когда прочитаете - если прорветесь через мой английский. Еще раз спасибо. --Lawrentia (talk) 19:36, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
- Ярослав, спасибо. Можно еще, наверно, взять фотографию – есть вот тут: http://pavelbers.com/Michail%20Barichnikov%20Vestris.htm А еще я нашла видеоролик на английском языке – где Барышников и Якобсон готовят номер "Вестрис": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-467XS3Vt0 – может, как-то можно поставить видеоролик в статью или хотя бы проставить ссылку? Спасибо еще раз и извините, что я вас так задергала уже не первый раз. Lawrentia (talk) 19:32, 23 April 2013 (UTC) Я очень рада нашей дружбе, я расцениваю именно так. И очень вам благодарна. И еще я вижу, что имею дело с очень грамотным администратором. --Lawrentia (talk) 19:32, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
- Давайте по порядку - сначала сделаем статью, потом будем разбираться с иллюстрациями. Там нет простого ответа, надо смотреть лицензии и ролик, потом сделаем. Пока у меня и текст довольно тяжело идёт, Вы его слишком эмоционально нагрузили.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:36, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Articles on the Yuri Gadyukin hoax
Not sure if you knew, but you were outed by name on a recent article at The Daily Dot about the Yuri Gadyukin hoax. It was also picked up by The Verge. Didn't see any other notes on your page, so I thought I'd let you know, just in case this article wasn't written with your cooperation. czar · · 03:13, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, I didn't see that the name was common knowledge. Anyway, a news story in tribute to you—thought you should know. czar · · 03:17, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- I have seen it, thanks. No, I did not participate in any way, just randomly found by searching Internet for my own name. Giving the name is indeed no problem.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:22, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
AfD Malana Lea Closure
I wish to appeal the closure of the debate. Someone pulled notability inheritance idea completely out of the blue and did not debate the "Merge" response I presented to counter the notablility is not inherited "charge". The broken links and long list of movies and TV appearances were also not commented on by random editors who wrote "Delete". Step one is to debate with you. Then I would like to move on to the formal process. Jok2000 (talk) 18:54, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
