HelloHello, I just started a page here Oi Khodyt Son Kolo Vikon. I don't know how useful it will be, but I did try transliterating the Ukrainian into English. I could not find a transliteration on the web. You have much more experience with this than I. Would you please take a look and correct it? Thanks, Horlo (talk) 07:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (Image:T-84.jpg)

Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Vote RequestHi Mzajac, I saw your comment in talk saint cyril and wanted to ask if you could vote on the subject of merging the three poor articles into one that can be tidied up, this would also make it easier to contain drive-by edits.

SU 85 rollbackThanks for the help. All of my recent contributions have been merely to correct grammar and ask for sources on some edits I consider questionable, so no problem from my end.

Why did you remove the milhist box from talk:Malyshev Factory?

IPA font substitutionHi, reading the archives, I was able to deduce that you seem to be the author primarily responsible for our current IPA font selection ideas. There is currently a discussion on MediaWiki_talk:Common.css#.IPA class that deals with a problem with IPA font selection, and I think we could use some help from you. The primary issues are:

Fair use rationale for Image:Agassiz Brewing logo.pngThanks for uploading Image:Agassiz Brewing logo.png. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC) I removed the capital Ot ligature from the table - all the other entries are lower-case letters - this one is out of place. See Ot (Cyrillic). If it is not the Ot ligature, then it is a capital omega with one of the diacritics, and it is still out of place in this table. There are no other vowels in the table that are shown in their capital form, with diacritics. See also Omega (Cyrillic). Note: just because something is published in the Unicode standard does not mean it is correct. If the character you restored to the table is incorrectly described in the unicode standard, we are not obligated to perpetuate the error. Please remove the letter from the table, as well as the erroneous footnote that purports to explain it. You don't have any printed examples using this character as a lower-case letter, do you?

Panzer division vs Panzer divisionsHi Mzajac. I'm sure you had good intentions, but please note that the article Panzer division is a generic reference to the unit type, and not intended to be the article for reference to Panzer divisions, or their unit histories. Panzer division article will seek to explain the origin, development, organisation and doctrine of their use, and will include the units of the Second World War and the Cold War. Please undo your moves and restore the Panzer Divisions article. Thank you--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 02:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
UkrainizationThanks for your help with Ukrainization! After looking around on there website I still think Russia Today is a joke... just look at this: [1]... I'm sure there where more then 200 people on Maidan during the celibration of the Orange revolution... Mariah-Yulia (talk) 22:09, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
talk:Old Church Slavonic IPA cleanupWow, that was a long time ago. Yes, it looks like the major things I was looking at have been converted to IPA, but there are still a few non-IPA-looking things at Old Church Slavonic#Eastern_Bulgarian_recension, Old Church Slavonic#Croatian_recension, Old Church Slavonic#Russian_recension, and Old Church Slavonic#Serbian_recension, like the vowels with ogoneks and haceks. I'm by no means a Slavicist, though - I guess those probably represent reconstructed proto-sounds that don't have a definite IPA mapping? In that case they wouldn't need converting. I have no personal attachment to the article so if you're working on it and feel the template isn't needed then feel free to remove it. DopefishJustin (talk) 03:28, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
According to article Sabra (tank) and its external links, Sabra is also a fundamental rebuild (of M60, superior to T-55) with some structural changes. The main guns, fire control systems, power packs, tracks, add-on armour, ERA, engine/transmission, and some of the subsystems were modernized by using new systems. It is also a front-line tank of the Turkish Army. Nothing about life extension. We may not include Sabra if we also exclude TR-85. Flayer (talk) 18:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC) General Officer capitalizationYou added a comment to the General Officer talk page about whether or not it should be capitalized. As noted, that is already being discussed on a separate talk page. So if you want to join in that discussion, do it on that other talk page. Don't repeat things in multiple talk pages. - Shaheenjim (talk) 06:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
link to a translit serviceHello, in this edit you left the comment "External links: remove link to a translit service (which doesn't uses a proprietary transliteration system)". What did you actually wanted to say with that?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Haykush (talk • contribs)
I notice your edits are mainly adding such links. Do you have any personal or professional connection with translit.cc? GA ReviewI don't know requests are received, but I will ask anyways. It seems that not many people are interested in reviewign the article Verdeja, due to a lack of knowledge on the tank itself and on tanks, in general. The issue with the former is that not many people are bound to know about the Verdeja, especially in such detail (the main source I used is a rare book, at that - it cost me around €40, which is a good price for it!), and so if that is a main consideration I'm afraid that it will never be reviewed! As one of the most knowledgeable members on armored fighting vehicles, that I have come across, I wanted to ask if you were interested in giving it a good article review? If you're not interested, that's fine. Thank you for your time, JonCatalan (talk) 12:47, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Please clean up after your page movesI don't know what from that revision history can I possibly add there. All those changes there were related to the BMD-1. All I did was take the small bits of information from here and there and put them together to create the BMD-2 article. All double redirects are gone.

Tank Task ForceHey, I wrote my reasoning for the founding of a task force for tanks on the Military History WikiProject, which you can read here. I guess its success is dependant on membership, and given that you're the major editor for the T-34 article I wanted to express an invitation. The task force wouldn't require editors that do 'heavy edits' - as in, entire articles - and, in fact, I would be looking more for active copy editors that do minor edits to maintain the quality of the article - but, really anything is fine. What I'm looking for is more or less detailed in that message I left on the WikiProject talk page (previously linked above). If you're interested it would be great if you could mention it there, and if not that's fine - but, it's worth a try. ;) Regardless, thanks for your time and patience! JonCatalán (talk) 16:26, 7 July 2008 (UTC) Hi. This guy has been editing some pages that you may have an interest in yourself. I have been reverting lots of his testing, which I'm pretty sure is in good faith. Could you go through his contribution history and check everything he's done?

So as per my last response, please proceed with the proposed change. Your proposal for merging "List of prototype armoured fighting vehicles" into "List of main battle tanks by country"Hi Michael, I've noticed that this merge proposal is still outstanding, even though no opposition was raised (see: Talk:List of armoured fighting vehicles by country#Suggested merges). Can you pelase revisit what has been stated there, and if happy with that then please proceed with your proposal? Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 06:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
T-80It appears to me that the issues you've spotted in the T-80 article are the same ones cropping up in the BMP-1, T-55, ZSU-57-2, SU-85 and SU-122 articles. There is a pattern here of copyright violation, self-published and dubious sources, and really poor english writing. I reported the copyvios last week since this is the most serious issue. Sadly I don't read some of the languages being cited in the sources, but I worry that those too are being essentially cut-and-pasted. Regards, DMorpheus (talk) 17:20, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Re: Don't make articles worseI'm currently working on implementing your "verifiable information" into an infobox that has more of it so chill out, ok? Also I don't know how you not caring if I feel hurt helps your case. What's more I suspect a third party might think of you very lowly because of that. But than again that's your problem. Regards. - SuperTank17 (talk) 17:54, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
The issue is that you can't verify the information you claim is true. So there's no way nobody really knows if it's true - even if you think it is.

Bazj (talk) 22:06, 27 August 2008 (UTC) Navbox under infoboxI should mention that bunching templates like that will move the edit links from the headers, and so you normally have to insert this coding.

For info, it is perfectly acceptable to remove any comment from your own talk page. The action of doing so, in fact acknowledges that they've been read. A further note is that assuming someone is uploading images to subvert policy is not showing good faith, uploads are usually done in good faith out of ignorance rather than malice.

There's some issue with wording in your last edit for Ч. --Atitarev (talk) 02:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC) KhrushchevUnless there is a more popular transliteration, a modified BGN/PCGN is used for the title and the subject's name throughout the article, according to Wikipedia policy. I only used ISO 9 for the exact transliteration in the intro, as used in the articles of Chinese people, i.e. Hu Jintao. This isn't controversial, as far as I'm concerned. ☆ CieloEstrellado 02:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

UpdateI made a second kishka article. I was tired of the argument. I posted about the two articles a bunch of places, but my computer crashed when I was posting it on the kishka (food) talk page. The other article is kishka (Jewish food). I don't agree with the two articles, but I don't think it's worth one bad article and an endless edit war. Some day perhaps a merger can unite the two articles and the love of sausages can be shared throughout the land. Anyway, I got distracted and forgot to put the notice back up there, but will do so now. Thanks for the great explanation and research on the linguistics. I think it's interesting that the Polish immigrants in the Midwest seem to have been rather neglected by many of the sources. The regional source seems to be the best one.
