Hi, there. Come check Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Or Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board if you are more interested in Ukraine. You may want to add these boards to your watchlist. Also, check my notice on Template talk:Settlements of Crimea. Happy edits, Ghirla | talk 18:41, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. =) The sphere of my interest is concretly Crimea - its geograhy, culture, history, peoples, etc.
- Don Alessandro 21:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Crimean articles are of interest to both UA and RU wikipedians. So, please announce the articles you create about Crimea at borth new article announcement boards. BTW, what's the deal with the Name of Crimea red link you added. Unless you plan to write such article in the near future, I don't think we need it. The article's section could be expanded but it still carries some essential info already. --Irpen 17:39, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- Извиняй, что по-русски, английский мой всё-таки весьма кривоват. Я не очень понял, мне эти красные ссылочки уже сейчас следует куда-то поместить или только когда я чего-нибудь уже сделаю? Просто боюсь, что сам я в ближайшее время не осилю заполнить их все. Пока в моих ближайших планах сделать болванки статей про районы и горсоветы по аналогии с теми, что я сделал в русской вики.
- Касательно Name of Crimea... Ну, я просто посмотрел что Name of Ukraine вынесено в отдельную статью, и подумал, что тут стоит сделать также. Просто там есть разные версии происхождения названия (например от монгольского хэрэм - ров). Может можно всё это изложить и в основной статье. Не знаю... --Don Alessandro 18:21, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- Ну и я не знаю. Сам решай. Наверное если есть разумные шансы, что статья появится в ближайшее время (тобой будет написана или линк настолько напрашивается, что многие из тех, кто увидит попробуют написать хотя бы болванку (stub)), то стоит создавать линк. Удачи! --Irpen 06:41, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Caffa & Theodoro
[edit]Hi.
1) About maps. Unfortunately there are no good maps on Crimean history on the web. There is... m-m-m... not map - only a scheme, I've made just now. It shows the situation in Crimea before the Ottoman invasion in 1475. http://www.ljplus.ru/img/d/o/don_alessandro/Theodoro_and_Caffa.PNG
red - Genoesian colonies, green - the Principality of Theodoro, blue - the Khanate of Crimea (Haci Giray).
Kalamita = today's Inkerman, Cembalo = Balaklava, Aluston = Alushta, Theodoro = Mangup, Soldaia = Sudak, Caffa = Theodosia, Solkhat = Stary Krym, Vosporo = Kerch.
If you want more information on Crimen history, I'll try to answer.
2) About Stephen III the Great and his relationships with Theodoro.
I know really few facts. Stephen married Maria Gabras - the daughter of Prince of Theodoro. The House of Gabras was related both to the Comnenian dynasty and to the Palaeologan dynasty and by that time Stephen was a great success in his war against the Ottomans. So this marrige gave him rights to claim the throne of Constantinople (if he would win Constantinople from the Turks). Alexander Gabras was Maria's brother, and Isaac was their uncle. Sthephen wanted to create a coalition against the Ottomans - Moldavia, Theodoro and Caffa. But Isaac Gabras was a very pro-Ottoman ruler. So he call Alexander, who lived in Moldavia in exile, gave him 300 men and a ship and sent to Crimea. Alexander was a success - he replaced Isaac on the throne of Theodoro. But in 1475 Ottoman general Gedik Ahmet Paşa conquered both Caffa and Theodoro. Caffa capitulated immediately, but Theodoro under Prince Alexander opposed the Ottmomans for half of a year. Alexander was enslaved and died in prison in Istanbul in spite of the attempts of Stephen to liberate him.
3) Please, excuse my awfull English.
Don Alessandro 19:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Great info on Alexander, but where did you find these sources? I might need them for the Moldavian articles. Your map looks good, tho I can't speak for it's accuracy. You should upload it to the article. Do you know why Stephen didn't annex Theodoro? Could he annex the land at all? Thanks. --Candide, or Optimism 19:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Sources... Several books published in Crimea in recent years (all in Russian). The best two are Т.М. Фадеева, А.К. Шапошников "Княжество Феодоро и его князья", Симферополь 2005 (T.M. Fadeeva, A.K. Shaposhnikov "The Principality of Theodoro and its Princes", Simferopol 2005) and П.А. Кесмеджи, Г.П. Кесмеджи "Княжество Феодоро", Симферополь 1999 (P.A. Kesmedzhi, G.P. Kesmedzhi "The Principality of Theodoro", Simferopol 1999)
- The map is not accurate. =) I'll try to make a version of higher quality and to upload it.
- Do you know why Stephen didn't annex Theodoro? Could he annex the land at all?
- I do not know, but I suppose he could not. It was impossible for him to annex the principality in a legitimate way (there were too many living Gabrases, who could claim the throne), only to conquer. Alexander Gabras was quite independent ruler; he was an ally for Stephen, not the vassal. With the help of Stephen he only did coup d'etat, but not conquered the country (he was a son of the previous Prince, after all).
- Don Alessandro 21:17, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- From what I read, Stephen had the chance to inherit a portion of the land, but I don't know if it's true. It's a shame those books haven't been translated into English. You should work on a map and upload it. Keep up the good work! --Candide, or Optimism 07:15, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- A portion... My books say nothing about this. But IMHO it does not seem believable. As you can see on the map, Theodoro was a small principality (under the Ottoman rule former lands of Theodoro formed one kadılık). I don't realize how it could be divided into parts. There was practically nothing to divide. %)

Hi. You marked the above redirect for speedy deletion. You didn't give a reason for deletion, and the redirect seems valid enough. If there's a good reason for deletion, maybe you would like to submit the redirect to WP:RFD? Proto||type 20:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- I've given a reason on the talk page. But you're right, it will be better to place it to WP:RFD. Don Alessandro 03:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I noted you moved Tauric Chersonese to Taurica. Don't you think you should have put the move to votes before acting? Give me a good reason why I shouldn't move it back to where it was; Tauric Chersonese is very common as a name, while judging from Google Taurica is hardly ever used as a substantive.--Aldux 18:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Hallo Don Alessandro
[edit]Hi, Hallo, etc, thanks for your contributions on NL, and you're also very "welkom" on NL! It's funny, because I'm very interested in Romania, Moldova, Eastern Europe... Because I today set up nl:Portaal:Krim I also wrote the article nl:Krim-Tataren. Soon there will also come an article nl:Krim-Tataars (Crimean Tatar Language) ;). I saw your reaction on nl:Overleg:Krim. I'll put also the name in Crimean Tatar Language in that article. A Romanian "Salut", a Dutch "Goedendag". (NL) Bulă 18:52, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- A Russian "Привет" for you. :) And my main interest here on wikipedia is Crimea, as you see. Its history, geography, people, cities and towns, etc. I spent my childhood in Simferopol and now I also try to visit Crimea at least once per year. And Crimean Tatar related articles on NL will be very useful, because many people in Western countries do not see the difference between the Tatars and Crimean Tatars in spite of the fact that they are quite different nations. So thank you for your work.
- Don Alessandro 19:48, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- And if you have problems with Dutch, "Nederlands", you can translate it (roughly) with Babel Fish ;) Bulă 19:03, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. =) Unfortunately there are no Dutch-Russian translator there...
- Don Alessandro 19:48, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- But there are Russian - English and English - Dutch translators, but it will become in a really bad quality. Bulă 20:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Please don't you ever do this again
[edit]Don Alessandro, I came to tell you that this your edit was trollish and aimed to promote partition of Ukraine. Please make sure you won't make edits like this ever. Otherwise they will be reverted and reported as WP:Trolling. Unlike my government in real Crimean life, I'll react "fast and hard". Ukrained 21:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
- Please also take into account that deleting CfD/AfD tags (like you recently did) is considered Vandalism and punished. Besides, reverting such vandalous deletion is not covered by the Three-revert rule, so I can revert them every 5 minutes unpunished. Oh, and marking serious controversial edits as "minor" is a serious breach too. This was your very last warning. You're on the edge, mister. Ukrained 08:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- This guy is bluffing. What did Don do wrong? Tell us. --Candide, or Optimism 12:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your support, but I think that in that case there is no problems now. Don Alessandro 11:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Advise and consent
[edit]Дорогий друже, Don Alessandro :)!
(The rest will be in English just for better readability by the community. I type in all three languages at about the same speed.)
I read with the great attention, interest and appreciation your dialog with the pro-Ichkeria separatist,[1] pro-Partitioner of the Russian Federation who also claims to be a Ukrainian patriot user:Ukrained.
I must say I am very impressed by your temper. I would like to share with you that from my experience with this user there is a huge difference between his article editing habits, which is mostly amazingly good and useful, and his talk page and edit summary entries which are amazingly trollish, full with personal attacks and, even, with addressing his opponents by their ethnicities but especially bad faith assumptions from anyone but himself and a couple of fervent Ukrainian nationalists (understandingly, there aren't that many). IMO, it is the article edits of the user that count most of all. After a dozen or so bad faith accusations from that user, I chose to mostly stop reacting to them (I used to provide him with detailed explanations on why exactly this or that was justified rather than was anti-whatever, but at certain point I just gave up).
If you have patience, go ahead and discuss with him your edits and defend yourself from his accusing you in being a troll and a Crimean separatist. If (or when) your patience wanes, it would be difficult, but possible, to not let any further accusations discourage you from editing but also not react to them at the same time, because reacting and explaining, like I used to do and like you just did, is very time consuming. In whatever way you intend to proceed with his future attacks, please keep editing.

- Thak you for the advice. Cподіваюся, що ми все ж таки мирно вирішимо всі питання. :) I've observed your wiki-wars and I do not want to loose my time participating in such a conflicts.

Why have you moved this page? What source gives his name as "Sima"?? --Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 03:51, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- All Russian-language sources. E.g. see what Yandex (one of the best Russian search machines) says us: Сима Бабович [2] - 460 vs Симха Бабович [3] - 4. And in addition I've asked a friend of mine, who is involved in the life of the Karaim community in Simferopol and Eupatoria, how they (the Qarays) call him.
- I wonder, who invented this transliteration "Simcha Babovitch"? Even if we transliterate it not from the Karaim language, but from Hebrew, the correct spelling would be Simha (or maybe Simkha), but not Simcha. We never use ch for [h] or [x] in English transliterations, ch is used only for [tʃ].

Crimean Tatars embattled
[edit]Hi. Are you, as an expert on Crimea, aware or interested regarding this?. Considering recent edit wars, I'm not happy with anonym adding one more <NPOV> tag, even if he's right...
Also, we have some unfinished business about Crimean categories. Keep me informed if possible and needed. Wishes, Ukrained 21:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- IMHO there are no problems with NPOV in this article. It is incomplete, but not POV.
- Я зараз не дома в Москві, а от як раз у Криму і залишатимусь тут до кінця серпня. А інтернет в мене тут нажаль тільки через GPRS. А GPRS у Київстара коштує просто жах – 5 грн. за Мб. Тому я в найближчий час не матимему можливості часто бути в інеті, вибачай...
- Don Alessandro 17:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Disambiguation?
[edit]I'm curious as to why you moved Russo-Turkish War (1787-1792) to Russo-Turkish War, 1787-1792; the first form is the correct way of disambiguating multiple conflicts with the same name, per the relevant naming convention. Kirill Lokshin 09:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry! I had observed this category Category:Crimean Khanate and noticed that all wars in this category are named in xxx, xxxx-xxxx format and only one in xxx (xxxx-xxxx) format. So, I decided, that xxx, xxxx-xxxx is more correct. I've already moved it back. Don Alessandro 15:18, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, ok; that explains it. Thank you for fixing it! Kirill Lokshin 17:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Uzbek page moves
[edit]Please stop. I've never seen the naming style you're using. You need to discuss these changes before you resume. KazakhPol 18:54, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hm... Dear KazakhPol, it is not a transliteration. I use orginal Uzbek latin spellings. Latin script is now official for the Uzbek language, that is why we use original latin spelling, instead of different horrible transliterations. E.g. Islom Karimov (instead of Islam Karimov, Islyam Kerimov, etc.)
- I've never seen the naming style you're using.
- I'm awfully sory, but it is a problem of yours, not of mine. Maybe this is because you don't know Uzbek orthography. You can find rules of transliteration of the Uzbek cyrillic alfabet into the Uzbek latin alfabet here.
- Or if you have never seen, you can simply see, just like this:
- Tohir Yo‘ldoshev (Toҳир Йўлдошев)
- O‘tkir Sultonov (Ўткир Султонов)
- Ulug‘bek Haydarov (Улуғбек Ҳайдаров)
- etc.
- And I have a question for you: what kind of spelling do you use? For example, why do you name Rashid Qadirov as Rashid Kadyrov?
- Don Alessandro 19:15, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- When responding to the comments of other users, it's customary to respond on their talkpages and not your own. The naming style I go by is what I see commonly used in either official press releases issued by the Uzbek government or the media. I do not refer to the Uzbek President by Islom because that's just silly. There's a reason his name is Islam. KazakhPol 19:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
- My only problem is the lack of communication prior to your page moves. I, also, am not interested in starting an edit war. I believe we got off on the wrong foot, as both of us are trying to improve Uzbek-related pages. Regards, KazakhPol 20:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Flying Penguin to Don Alessandro
[edit]- if he gets a chance to read this: Don't be ridiculous - as an English speaker, I can tell you that "the" is always used before Crimea, as well as some other geographic names. And who gave you the right to delete newer, more complete versions with improved English grammar and syntax? Who are you - a Khan? This kind of behaviour speaks badly of the Ukrainians.

Your suggestions and corrections for my map
[edit]Thank you very much for your suggestions and corrections for my Image:Ancient Greek_Colonies of N Black Sea.png. I have endeavoured to put them into the second version of the map. Let me know if you see anything else that needs to be addessed. Cheers, MapMaster 03:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Can you check my map??
[edit]Don Alessandro, I have created a "locator map" for the Golden Horde. This map shows domains of the Golden Horde in 1389 before the Tokhtamysh-Timur war, with modern international boundaries in light brown. The Principality of Moscow is shown as a dependency, in light yellow. I am a bit displeased with how difficult it is to tell the rivers and international boundaries apart, even at 400px, but on the whole it turned out nicely.
I would, of course, be very interested in your comments. I aim to please. MapMaster 01:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Official names for Peru
[edit]Hello, I've seen your changes to the Peru article, on which you added official names for the country in quechua and aymara. However there are no official translations of República del Perú for such languages so I've reverted your changes. Please don't put them back unless you can come up with an official source for such claim. Greetings and thank you for your interest in this article. --Victor12 01:51, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's kinda strange that there's no official name in quechua or, for that matter, in any of the other native languages of Peru. An explanation might be that Spanish has for a long time been perceived as a "superior" language and speakers of native tongues had no chance of economic, social or political succes unless they were fluent in Spanish. This has only changed in very recent times (and even so only to a limited degree), so it might take a while for legislation to catch up. Greetings. --Victor12 07:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Names of districts (raions)
[edit]Утверждённых правил, к сожалению, нет, но в целом практика наименования районов довольно прямолинейна и однородна. В общем и целом, собственная часть наименования района транслитерируется (украинских — через WP:UKR, русских, соответственно, через WP:RUS), а слово "район" передаётся как "Raion" для украинских районов и как "District" для районов русских. Так, например, "Обухівський район" Киевской области находится под заголовком Obukhivskyi Raion, а "Кстовский район" Нижегородской области — под заголовком Kstovsky District. Ну и, разумеется, если существуют несколько районов с одинаковым названием, то под основным заголовком находится страница разрешения неоднозначностей, а в заголовках статей о собственно районах указывается административная единица (для Украины) или федеральный субъект (для России), в составе которых эти районы находятся (см., например, Krasnoarmeysky District).
Если есть ещё вопросы, пишите. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Avars
[edit]- Selamlar. Ben Türkçe Vikipedi'den geliyorum. Daha önce de sizden çeviri rica etmiştim. Onun için tekrar teşekkür ederim. Türkçe Viki'de Avarlar maddesini hazırlıyorum. Ukraynaca bir yazı buldum. Çevirirseniz sevinirim. Çok önemli bir yazı da. İşte şu;
- За переказами, в давнину правив тут князь, у якого була вродлива дочка Ірва. На край дулібів напали кочівники-авари і облягли городище. Аварський ватажок відправив послів з вимогою віддати Ірву за нього заміж.
- - У слов‘ян жінки самі вибирають собі наречених, - відповів князь і покликав доньку.
- Аварські свати піднесли Ірві шовкову хустку. Та дівчина розірвала її навпіл і сказала:
- - Коли ця хустка стане цілою, тоді я буду дружиною чужинця.
- Розлючений вождь зайд наказав здобути місто, а Ірву силоміць привести до нього. Хоробро бились дуліби, та сили були нерівними – і всі захистники загинули. Тоді Ірва вихопила меч з рук убитого бтька і продовжувала бій. Оточена ворогами з усіх боків, вона наважилася кинутися з високої скелі на гостре каміння. Померла, та не далася чужинцям. З її очей потекли сльози, утворивши річку Ірву.

Chernomorske Raion
[edit]Привет! Кажется, название района записано неверно. Название статьи — точно калька с украинского. Или с русского уже нельзя? --Kosun (talk) 17:13, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Soviet Aviation Task Force Invitation
[edit]Hi! I noticed you are fluent in both Russian, Ukrainian, and English and was hoping you would join the Soviet Aviation Task Force and translate some of our missing articles into English and Ukrainian from Russian. Many of the articles on the list are MAJOR plane crashes that were not covered by Soviet media at the time they happened and were not made public until decades later, when such events were no longer considered interesting enough for regular news. And the since Soviet Airforces were subject to massive purges in the Stalin era, many notable aviators who broke multiple world records or earned their nation’s highest honor were repressed , their accomplishments forgotten, and their discoveries swept under the rug. Because archival sources are nearly always in Russian and these topics are history, not news, coverage of even the deadliest, most notable, and revolutionary events of aviation only have articles on the Russian Wiki. Our goal is to change that, using the wikidata pages for those Russian articles as a “base” to start off from and expand our own wikis, providing coverage on some of the most forgotten topics that managed to hide in the Russosphere for many years. While we have made a lot of progress on the English Wiki there is still a long way to go and many other wikis still lack coverage on the extent of Soviet air disasters.
I really hope you can join our task force and assist in translating. We really need some native Russian speakers at our task force to help with translation, and you seem like a great candidate. Thank you, --PlanespotterA320 (talk) 19:33, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
If you are wondering where to start since the vastness of the backlog is a bit overwhelming, I recommend starting off with one of these:
- en:1980 Plesetsk launch pad disaster (Just recently put into English and no article in Ukrainian)
- en:1969 Yukhnov mid-air collision (120 fatalities, only in Russian and English)
- en:1976 Anapa mid-air collision (70 fatalities, only in German and English. A little bit of post-USSR newscoverage due to recovery of parts of one of the planes involved)
- en:Aeroflot Flight 2415, en:Aeroflot Flight 964, en:Aeroflot Flight 1912, and en: Aeroflot Flight 3932 – The four main crashes due to a major defect in the Tu-104, where the plane would seemingly randomly lose control and important instruments would go blank, dooming the plane. Instead of grounding the Tu-104 the Soviets kept the issue quiet and continued allowing them to fly, resulting in these tragedies.
