User talk:Ivan2007

Welcome

Hello, Ivan2007, 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 username 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 announce 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! --Irpen

Allow me

I, Irpen, hereby award you this Exceptional Newcomer Award for your many productive edits and content additions to the articles related to the history of medieval Rus. Keep up the good work and thank you for your contributions. --Irpen 00:55, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:St. Volodymyr.jpg

Hi, thanks for uploading the beautiful image. Can you confirm that you are the original painter of the icon and donate this reproduction to the public domain?

The reason I am asking is that many people mistakenly upload somebody else's works and label them as their own because they did digitizing of the image or a trivial photoshopping, etc. It may cause a minor drama then the real main author is discovered.

I am asking this just to make sure as there are none or almost none so good artists among the active Wikipedians (I would say none working in my wikicorner) Alex Bakharev (talk) 02:20, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, man. I took the picture from Ukrainian wiki page of Volodymir. It is an icon from one of the cathedrals in Novgorod which makes it public domain by definition. How do I release anything to public domain and what's a wikicorner? User:Ivan2007 (talk)
I have made the minimal changes. Before the {{PD-author}} specified that you were the author of the work and released it to the public domain. I have copied the rest from the Ukrainian page. There are still questions that need to be addressed:
  • In what Novgorod Cathedral the fresco is located (there are more than one in Novgorod)
  • Some sort of assurance that the fresco is indeed of Saint Vladimir, is indeed in Novgorod and is indeed of 16th century. Wikipedias are not reliable sources, sometimes they are used by hoaxers. The original uploader to uk-wiki have not provided this information.
  • In future please upload free images of inter-project usablity to Commons that way once uploaded the picture can be used on all WMF projects (e.g. ru-wiki, de-wiki, en-cite, uk-news, etc.)
Please check other images you have uploaded. They should be correctly described or they would be deleted by the copyright police Alex Bakharev (talk) 04:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Ukrainian rulers

First of all well done with the list. However I am a bit concerned by this ... Ukrainian Identity developed continuously from the time of Kievan Rus through modern times...in the pusuit of historical justice and truth. Problem is that wikipedia has a few policies one of which is Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought and Wikipedia is not a soapbox in particular what it says about using it as a piece of propaganda. Furthermore per WP:CONFLICT and WP:NEUTRALITY, there is no historical opinion that is true, so per article of Kievan Rus both Galicia-Volhynia, Novgorod Republic and Vladimir-Suzdal are given equal weight. There is little doubt about the continuity of Galicia-Volhynia in shaping modern Ukraine, just like Vladimir-Suzdal's done for Russia. However to argue that Kievan Rus is directly responsible for shaping only one, and not other is making a great assumption, which is why on the List of Russian rulers, only a link is given to the article, which is why I did the same for your list.
Now then, wrt Crimean Khanate, again, just because it was wholly/partially within modern Ukraine, does not mean that Crimean Khans were Ukrainian rulers, again we don't add the Kazan, or Astrakhan khans in the Russian rulers list.
Finally by list of any rulers, we usually appoint those who were nominally sovereigns, who had absolute power. Which is why its important not to overlap the List of national leaders of Ukraine with the list of Ukrainian rulers. Thus including Skoropadsky is perfectly normal, but certainly not Grushevsky or Petliura, since both were only leaders, not rulers. Again, Russian rulers finish at 1917.
Anyhow well done with the list, but please use the talk page in the future to settle disagreements. --Kuban Cossack (По-балакаем?) 14:07, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well first and foremost, its irrelevant what majority think, again, if you look at articles like Britannica, most would give Ukraine's origin in Kievan Rus as much weight as they will give that of Russia and Belarus. Again why privatise history just because some historians have done so. This does violate WP:NPOV, and if you look at Talk:Kievan Rus there was a huge discussion on that topic. As for Tsardom of Russia not existing, it was in fact a case that Ivan III, ruler of the then Grand Duchy of Moscow that actually began transforming Rus' into Rossiya, not least that the Byzantine influence of the fallen Empire had on him, and the third rome claim. This too is a view shared by vast majority of Russians, and numerous historians such as Nikolay Karamzin and Vasily Tatishchev also hold this view. I personally however believe that of Lev Gumilev that the last Kievan Rus died with the fall of Novgorod, and that both Vladimir-Suzdal, Galicia-Volhynia and Polotsk have only skeletal resemblence to modern Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. The former was destroyed by the Mongols, and the latter two slow Polish assimilation of Galicia and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania... --Kuban Cossack (По-балакаем?) 12:25, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well since you are keen on making it a general list my I suggest a rename to List of rulers of Ukraine, which would allow you to draw continuity from Galicia-Volhynia into modern Ukraine. However I strongly disagree with including Kievan Rus princes. Crimean Khanate in my opinion is also excessive, though I'll let others in the community decide. However what do you plan for people like Nestor Makhno? Also since you are keen to include Crimean khan's why not add the koshevoys of the Zaporozhian Sech? --Kuban Cossack (По-балакаем?) 12:25, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On a separate note: THIS might help you a lot. Удачи! --Kuban Cossack (По-балакаем?) 15:52, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your opinion. I have expanded considerably the following articles: List of Ukrainian rulers, Grand Prince of Kiev, and History of Kiev. Of course, the Khazars rulers, as well as Hunnic rulers, are necessary to include them into the "List of Ukrainian rulers" (see works of solid historians). By the way, only anti-Semitic Slavophiles (i.e. Lev Gumilev) try to hide an important role of Khazars in a history of Ukraine. --Mibelz (talk) 09:33, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You have written: "My resoning behind this is that if we start including all official and claiming rulers of the Ukrainian territory over the years, we have to include all of the voivodes of Poland, governors of Malorossiya of the Russian Empire, and maybe even go as far as including Genoese rulers of the southern Crimea, which would defeat the purpose of this list." Imagine, I thought about Genoese rulers in Crimea, and they were such rulers as the Kiev voivodes. So maybe, it is correct to present only supreme rulers. --Mibelz (talk) 09:50, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Old maps

I have stumbled on a well of old maps from the 1943 reprint of Carlton Hayes's A Political and Cultural History of Modern Europe. The copyright has 1939 on it, so it is not expired quite yet; however, I believe I can scan them and put them up with proper referencing. Please advise. --Ivan2007 (По-балакаемo?) 03:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I investigated this a little bit and as far as I see, most of these maps may be usable despite the 1939 date on the book. The 1930s edition you are talking about titled "A Political and Cultural History of Modern Europe" (NY, MacMillan) is a revised edition on "Political and Social History of Modern Europe" published by the same author in 1916 (also by MacMillan, NY.) The latter book because of its age is in public domain. It is available in full from google books here.
Of course the maps that were originally published in 1916 are PD even if they were reproduced in a later edition. The best way to find out for you would be to see in google books if the maps you want to use also appeared in 1916 edition. If they did, they are PD.
In addition to comparing the 1930s edition that you have and the 1916 edition available in full online, you can take a look at the review of the 1936 "Political and Cultural History of Modern Europe" book. The review was written by Harry Elmer Barnes and published in American Sociological Review (June 36), Vol. 1, Issue 3, p514-516, 3p. This 3-page review outlines in a great detail what changes were implemented between the editions. Archives of American Sociological Review are available through JSTOR and outher databases that usually require subscription. If you don't have access to subscription, feel free to ask and I will gladly email you this 3-page review. Hope this helps, --Irpen 19:05, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Olga Kurylenko

I saw you stole some pictures from my userpage, thanks I got the feeling we can get along :). Can you keep a look out at the Olga Kurylenko article, some non-acount editors try to make her French and Russian without giving any or bad references. Finally Ukraine got a nice poster board and then some bullies in the playground try to steal her and give her to there country. She clearly only mentions her Ukrainian heritage in her interviews. The Russians should finally learn Ukraine (and Georgia etc.) are not part of there country any more! People who speak Russian are Russian(?), why isn't Mozart German then? If those editors really want to do Olga a favour the should protest against the raising of Russian Gas prices in Ukraine instead of claiming only the good bits from Ukraine, I'm fat up with this ethnicity kind of thinking. Everybody from Ukraine is a Ukrainian!, people who look at ethnicity first are semi-Nazi's to me! -- Mariah-Yulia (talk) 19:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I gave you some advice at the bottom of my talkpage. Usually wikipedians use only 1 of the 2 users talkpage to discuss things. I wasn't sure you saw it, you can keep track of when I write an answer on my talkpage after pressing the watch button on the top of the page (just like other wiki-pages!). Maybe you knew this already, but I can't know that :))))) -- Mariah-Yulia (talk) 23:24, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, thanks! I wasn't actually sure about the talk pages, that's why I was posting it on other people's pages. But I would expand on your point that Everybody from Ukraine is a Ukrainian!. My ancestry for example is from Eastern Sloboda in the Voronezh oblast of Russia, but we moved later to Kiev, and I am definitely a Ukrainan since the population of this region is mainly Ukrainian. My grandpa and grandma talked Ukrainian and called themselves xoxoly. All the last names were Ukrainan. This adds more to the point how much was taken. But I can see where you are coming from, if you are a Ukrainian citizen, even if ethnically different, you are definitely a Ukrainian. It is a normal thing, here there are US-Mexicans, US-Koreans, or Canadian-Ukrainans. And it is sad that if you say in Russia that you are Russian-Ukrainan people will either laugh at you or kick your ass. -- Ivan2007 (talk) 23:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think you greatly exaggerate the reaction in Russia. But to the main question, the word Ukrainian has several meanings and depends on the context. That all citizens of Ukraine, regardless of their ancestry, church and native language, have a right to consider Ukraine as their country is the approach that may finally solve the divisions in the nation. Unfortunately, this view is not shared by the extremists from both sides. --Irpen 05:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is nice that someone as lovely as Olga Kostyantynivna agrees with us right :), actually I know a couple more Ukrainians who do. I got the feeling that especially a lot of Ukrainians of the generation(s) who mainly lived in independent Ukraine share this view (you probably know that better then me Irpen). -- Mariah-Yulia (talk) 13:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dovbush rocks

I just found your new page on the list of megalithic sites. If there is more content to it it would help.

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

Template:Capitals of Russia

А где сказано, что Киевская Русь расплась в середине 12 века? В русской Википедии указано, что КР распалась в 1237, а в английской - 1240, то есть в 13 веке. --TarzanASG (talk) 21:25, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

С какой стати Киев считался столицей? Андрей Боголюбский в 1169 году с особой жестокостью разграбил Киев, посадил княжить в Киеве своего брата, а сам уехал во Владимир-на-Клязьме, а там где Великий князь, там и столица Руси. То есть в 1169 году номинальная столица насильно была перенесена из Киева во Владимир. Зачем Галицко-Волынские князья боролись за Киев, когда он не имел статуса столицы и обладание Киевом ничего не давало? --TarzanASG (talk) 14:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

History of Kiev

Hi! In addition to my reply on the List of Ukrainian rulers, I would like to tell you that some western historians (i.e. Kevin Alan Brook) suppose that Kiev was founded by Khazars or Magyars. According to Omeljan Pritsak, Constantine Zuckerman and other scholars, Khazars lost Kiev at the beginning of the 900s. -- Shalom, Mibelz (talk) 15:40, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The title is "List of Ukrainian rulers", so that means all rulers and leaders in Ukrainian territory (modern Ukraine), from ancient to modern times. Of course in that case, it is not important where were core territories of Scythians, Huns, Bulgars, or Khazars. By the way, in the list there are princes of Kiev, Pereyaslavl, and Halych, or hetmans of Ukrainian Cossacks who received their authority from some foreign powers (Golden Horde, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Russia). Do you intend to remove them from the list? I do not think so. --Mibelz (talk) 21:00, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your discussion on a history of Ukraine. In my opinion, it is better to present more information than less. Independent Ukraine is rather a new phenomena, although its history is very old and complicated. So, it is important to present all influences, not only Slavic ones. Of course, Ukrainian rulers are not the same as Russian ones. PS. Tomorrow I go to Spain (El Camino) for a month. -- Mibelz (talk) 13:13, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Treaty of Constantinople (1700)

Hey,

I recently expanded Treaty of Constantinople (1700) and nominated it for DYK. I noticed that you added some facts that appear to be a translation from another wiki. I was not able to source these additions and would appreciate it if you could add a reliable source confirming your additions. In particular, the following facts need sources:

  • Russian gain of Pavlov and Mius
  • prisoner exchange

Further, am I right in my assumption that

  • Pavlovsk = Pavlov = Mariupol?
  • Mius = Mius(s)kiy Gorodok = Miusinsk?

If you are able to appropriately source your additions and maybe expand the article a bit, you can receive DYK credit once the article appeared on the main page. Thank you, Skäpperöd (talk) 16:38, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since Pavlovsk was not established until 1775, the reference here is 75 years anachronistic. Moreover, neither was there was a fortress there at that time. Tachypaidia (talk) 16:34, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Genoese rulers

Hi! I am back after my travels throughout Galicia (Spain) and England&Scotland. First of all, I would like to propose adding Genoese rulers of the southern Crimea into the List of Ukrainian rulers, you wrote earlier. Now, I think it is a good idea. So, Genoese consuls ought to be placed before Crimean khans. See, http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Ukraine.html#Kaffa, please.

Second issue of the List of Russian rulers, and any mention about Vladimir-Suzdal being under the Golden Horde, seems to be a Russian complex. Among others, Alexander Nevsky, one of the greatest heroes of Russian history (mythology ?!), received yarlyk (license) at Sarai, and was installed as the Grand Prince of Vladimir in vassalage to the Golden Horde. – Warm regards, Mibelz (talk) 12:22, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Literati™ Wireless Reader

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Literati™ Wireless Reader, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

An exciting month of wiki events!

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Information icon An article you recently created, Lost Origins Gallery, is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, has suitable content and thus is ready for mainspace, place {{subst:submit}} atop the article, then publish.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Lost Origins Gallery requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, society, or group that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Hello, Ivan2007. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Lost Origins Gallery 2".
