And it really isn't a topic for an encyclopedia article, is it? Unless there is something significant about this title, as compared to any other kind of repairman, we don't need an article. If, perhaps, there was some famous umbrella repairman in history or fiction, or if umbrella repairing was involving in a big legal fight over work rules, or something like that - then it could use an article! - User:DavidWBrooks 14:37, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Muscovite princes == ''Was it you who compiled the list of the Muscovite princes?'' Where? (please always provide links to pages in question). Anyway... No I am not. Fell free to fix what is to be fixed. For now, I'd suggest to remove the word "muscovite", and gradually comment each name with proper princedoms (in some cases they will be miltiple, I guess). I am not a historian, BTW, so my advice in history is mostly useless to seek. User:Mikkalai 02:03, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Iskra/Pravda == Привет Kirill, please see my recent comments posted on the Talk:Pravda, maybe you could refactor them into smth useful either in the Pravda or in the Iskra articles. Kind regards, User:BACbKA 00:11, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Grozny as article of the week == Actually, the title "article of the week" is misleading. The article for the week, once chosen, is a stub that people work on for the week and attempt to bring up to featured standard. See Wikipedia:Article of the week and Wikipedia talk:Article of the week (where a discussion is ongoing about renaming the project. The candidates specifically must be stubs or short articles!!! However, usually the subject must be deserving of a good article, as the idea is to fix gaps or failures of Wikipedia. For example, the past week has seen Renaissance go from a short pathetic article to a detailed in-depth one. User:Zoney ███ User talk:Zoney 19:25, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC) ==Article of the Week== Hi there - as User:Zoney has pointed out above, the title of Wikipedia:Article of the week is quite misleading (and there is currently a vote to get it changed - see the Wikipedia talk:Article of the week). AotW is not a stamp of approval: the idea is to choose a non-existent or Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub page and to try to create a Wikipedia:Featured_articles-Wikipedia:What is a featured article article in one week from widespread cooperative editing. I'm not sure if that is what you intended with Soviet Red Banner Northern Fleet as it looks quite large already - if you want lots of people to help you to finish the article then that is what Article of the Week is for. Hope his helps. -- User:ALoan User_talk:ALoan 00:33, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC) :First of all, KNewman, let me thank you for all the hard work you've been putting in for Wikipedia! The Soviet Red Banner Northern Fleet article that you wrote looks like a very solid addition to the Wikipedia. Like others have said, though, the Wikipedia:Article of the week is for the Wiki community to jointly grow a Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub into a lengthy article. What you're looking for, I think, is Wikipedia:Peer review. Please feel free to add the "Soviet Red Banner Northern Fleet" article to that page; I (and other Wikipedians, no doubt) would be glad to review and edit it. User:BencUser_talk:Benc 02:00, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC) :Indeed - apologies if my first message above comes across as a little 'crisp' - I was just concerned that AotW was probably not the place you were looking for! If you can find something that is not as well covered as the Soviet Red Banner Northern Fleet (thanks to your work) then please add it to WP:AOTW. -- User:ALoan User_talk:ALoan 02:15, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Russian sailing navy == Hi, do you have any sources for earlier Russian naval history? I've seen a few references to a substantial fleet (for instance the Battle of Copenhagen (1801) was timed so that the Russians were still iced in), and the cryptic reference to John Paul Jones as Russian admiral, so I suspect there's a lot more story out there. User:Stan Shebs 05:26, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC) ==Translation of Кедр== Hi K - can I draw your attention to the List of false friends to point out that Russian Кедр does not refer to cedar (''Cedrus'', not found in Russia), but (depending on the exact location) to either Siberian Pine (''Pinus sibirica'', central Siberia), Korean Pine (''Pinus koraiensis'', far southeast Russia) or Siberian Dwarf Pine (''Pinus pumila'', east Siberia) - thanks, User:MPF 09:42, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC) I'm not posting chick in Aurora article. Yesterday I uploaded correct Aurora pic (as in [http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafika:Aurora.jpg here]). Now :Image:Aurora.jpg seem OK to me - maybe try to refresh browser cache?... User:Pibwl 17:45, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC) ==Normanist theory== Thank you, I really appreciate you kind words. Yes, I believe I am the only writer of the Normanist theory and I have written most of the rest too. My wife is Russian and has a mother who is a professor of history at the Academy of Science in Moscow. I just asked her about what you wrote, and she says that she has heard about it. I'll try to see what I can find about this in English. I have the habit of always double checking information (no offense) :).--User:Wiglaf 06:57, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC) :Hi KNewman. Yes, I have heard about the mistranslation (''sine hus'', etc.). The theory makes sense, but I don't think it contradicts the Normanist theory. It rather supports by explaining the odd names ''Sineus'' and ''Truvor''. :In fact, you're very welcome to add the information about the German gentlemen under The Antinormanist theories in the same article.--User:Wiglaf 07:46, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Rulers of Kievan Rus' == Hi! I've actually been watching the article ever since I asked that, so I see a lot of improvements have been made. Nice work, thanks! User:Adam Bishop 22:32, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Sergei Ivanov == Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for your work on Sergei Ivanov. Nice job! User:WmahanUser talk:Wmahan 04:43, 2004 Sep 4 (UTC) I must second the thanks, you have a way of helping to make an article both readable and informative. --User:Aika 20:49, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC) ==Statue of Liberty== Sorry, I don't know where the copper came from. No, I didn't write the article. I added a few bits to it here and there. If you click on the "history" tab you'll see that like many Wikipedia articles this is the product of many, many contributors. The best place for you to ask this question would be on the Talk page for the article, i.e. Talk:Statue of Liberty :Saw your question pop up on User talk:Dpbsmith. I can't find an authoritative source, but several non-authoritative sources say the copper came from the Visnes Copper Mine on the Norway island of Karmøy. I'd add it to the article if it seemed to be more than internet hearsay. -- User:Cyrius|User talk:Cyrius 02:33, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC) ==Re: User talk:212.76.39.2== Howdy. Don't worry, I'm not creating a separate article under a different name. There is a special mechanism (Wikipedia:Redirect) allowing us to refer by different names to articles as needed by the context. This way we don't end up with dozens of articles that would gradually fall out of sync (Though there still remains a problem where to put the main article cf. Talk:Kyiv). By the way, I really appreciate it that You respect the fact that nations whose history is intermingled with Russia might not agree with the official Russian verison of those events. ==Thanks for fixing the stub== I don't feel possessive about it. And thanks for leaving me a note. Take care. User:Humus sapiens←User:Humus sapiens←User talk:Humus sapiens 18:19, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC) == Wikimedia Foundation Newsletter == Hi, KNewman. I'm a japanese Wikipedian. Looking your name on m:Translators' list on meta, I come here to ask your help. would you like to join to translation of m:Translation requests/NL-1/En:, the Wikimedia Foudnation Newsletter? I took part in Japanese edition, and found it was helpful for the community to know about both our activities in entire and activities in each local projects. Now there is no Russina translation and I think Russian Wikipedians will be happy the version in their owh language - and I will be happy if I will be able to read Russian news in the next edition. Or even your glance at our work, Wikimedia:Wikimedia Quarto/1/Ja-1, will be my honor. --User:Aphaia 07:52, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC) :If you have no time enough translate whole stuff, would you like to help us with your translation of m:Wikimedia Quarto/Annc? It is five lines' annoucement for the newsletter. Thanks. --User:Aphaia 14:25, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC) :: mmm, exciting. (-: ==Sikorsky Ilya Muromets== Thanks for covering this long-overlooked and extremely important aircraft! --User:Rlandmann 22:25, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC) :The link to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation was a mistake on my part - I forgot that the Sikorsky redirects to the American company and did not cover Igor Sikorsky's work in Russia. I'll fix these! --User:Rlandmann 21:28, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC) ==Left communism/Left Opposition== They're not the same but that might not have stopped some from using the terms interchangably. Generally, left communists are "anarcho-communists" such as the Bordigaists. Lenin, though, wrote Left-wing Communism aimed, I believe, at Bukharin who was in the early days of the revolution on the far left of the party and opposed the Brest-Litovsk Treaty (which Trotsky negotiated). I suppose you can only really tell by the context, if writings refer to Trotsky as a left communist then the writer is using left opposition and left communism interchangably. Usually they refer to different phenomena. User:AndyL 20:35, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC) ==Sikorsky Alexander Nevsky== Hi KNewman - I've been following up this aircraft, trying to find out more - but none of my references contains any information on it. I did stumble across a website in Russian (which I can't find again now!) with some information, but it didn't tell me anything more than your article did. I'm wondering whether this was perhaps just a variant of the Ilya Murometz? Or perhaps one specific Ilya Murometz given a new name? If you can direct me to any references, I would be very grateful! (I don't know much Russian, but I read the Cyrillic alphabet quickly enough to recognise names and technical terms, and use machine translations to fill in the blanks!) --User:Rlandmann 03:40, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC) hm-hm. too few data about the aircraft...

----
As of , , there are Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week.
---- I first stumbled upon Wikipedia some time in June of 2004 and got hooked on it. The idea of a FREE encyclopedia (not like MSN Encarta or Britannica) appealed to me from the very start. I've been contributing ever since. I mostly concentrate on Russian History, because I am Russian. There is another reason why I am doing this. In America, I have encountered many people whose knowledge of Russia (or USSR, for that matter) was extremely limited. There could be several explanations to this, and lack of curiousity is not one of them. First, the Iron Curtain. Even though it has been lifted for quite some time now, there is still so much out there that must be done in terms of sharing the knowledge. Second, the official government propaganda and ideology on both sides of the barricades (as they say in Russia) that existed throughout the Cold War and caused distortion of reality and facts. To sum it up, I contribute stuff about Russian history hoping that Wikipedia will be able to put every bit of information in the right place and that facts will finally prevail over fantasies and myths. I will gladly accept any requests for information on any events or personalities in Russian or Soviet history and incorporate it into Wiki. I graduated from Moscow State University for International Relations (a.k.a. MGIMO) (''not to confuse with'' Moscow State University) and Boston University and hold two Master's degrees in International relations. I want to thank Wikipedia for this new hobby of mine! Like they say, learn as long as you live. User:KNewman

---- I first stumbled upon Wikipedia some time in June of 2004 and got hooked on it. The idea of a FREE encyclopedia (not like MSN Encarta or Britannica) appealed to me from the very start. I've been contributing ever since. I mostly concentrate on Russian History, because I am Russian. There is another reason why I am doing this. In America, I have encountered many people whose knowledge of Russia (or USSR, for that matter) was extremely limited. There could be several explanations to this, and lack of curiousity is not one of them. First, the Iron Curtain. Even though it has been lifted for quite some time now, there is still so much out there that must be done in terms of sharing the knowledge. Second, the official government propaganda and ideology on both sides of the barricades (as they say in Russia) that existed throughout the Cold War and caused distortion of reality and facts. To sum it up, I contribute stuff about Russian history hoping that Wikipedia will be able to put every bit of information in the right place and that facts will finally prevail over fantasies and myths. I will gladly accept any requests for information on any events or personalities in Russian or Soviet history and incorporate it into Wiki. I graduated from Moscow State University for International Relations (a.k.a. MGIMO) (''not to confuse with'' Moscow State University) and Boston University and hold two Master's degrees in International relations. I want to thank Wikipedia for this new hobby of mine! Like they say, learn as long as you live. User:KNewman
