- Please note that the .svg version and the .jpg version you're trying to introduce are identical. When the image is turned into an .svg, the colours change and don't appear as bright as the original. It's not a big problem as the same has been done to emblems for other countries. The images only appear in a tiny format, and .svg's are the preferred Wikipedia format.
- That said, I've tried to convert the JPEG you've been trying to use into an .svg that retains more of the original colouring than the current one being used. So far, I haven't succeeded, but I'll try again. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:21, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
- Please, try again to convert it, because I don't know how to do it. That emblem is actual in Belarus now. --Einimi (talk) 17:51, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, and it is exactly the same emblem. Please take a look at the file and you will see that, even though it was originally uploaded in 2007, it was updated in 2012 to reflect the current official emblem. Creating vector images from raster images is a long and difficult process. Please have some patience as Wikipedia is a long term, and not everything has to be done today. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:50, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not rush you. And there are not a same emblems, there are different. --Einimi (talk) 05:18, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

[edit]How about using File:Official coat of arms of the Republic of Belarus.jpg until you make the caption in curves? --217.21.43.64 (talk) 12:36, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- It's made not by myself. I wrote to author and now I'm waiting the answer. I've tried to use this non-vector image, but in this Wikipedia no supporters to it. --Einimi (talk) 12:59, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

- And why? I will not stop because it's current CoA. Also, for a future: I understand English and don't need any translations. Ilya, you understand Belorussian worse than I understand English :/ --Einimi (talk) 14:04, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

- Oh, just stop, I've lived in the UK, so don't teach me how to speak, I worned you. Ilya Drakonov (talk) 14:30, 25 August 2015 (UTC).
- Haha, I don't teach you, buddy. And I don't want that you teach to me. All what I want to say that you not speak Belorussian on 4 level (that's true) and you mustn't to write translations for me. --Einimi (talk) 14:50, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- And don't brag, I hate that. --Einimi (talk) 14:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- I just worned you. ″You mustn't to write translations for me″, yeah, I see your "perfect English". I don't want to discuss anything, I just said that you must first discuss and then change the CoA of Belarus. I know that it is very important for you, but be patient please. Best regards, Ilya Drakonov (talk) 14:58, 25 August 2015 (UTC).
- I DIDN'T SAID ABOUT PERFECT ENGLISH!!! I know it on basic level and I make mistakes sometimes, but I make it like you in Belorussian :/ Don't touch me with my English and I will not touch you with your Belorussian. --Einimi (talk) 15:04, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- Ok-ok, as you say. I just asked you to discuss and then somebody else will add the new national emblem of Belarus. P.s: My Belorussian is quite good, I write articles in BeWiki and nobody complained before you. Best regards, Ilya Drakonov (talk) 15:09, 25 August 2015 (UTC).
- Of cooooooooourse, what about it? What about your former description on your talk page that you don't understand Belorussian? --Einimi (talk) 15:19, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- I just wanted to check does Iгар Барысавiч know Russian. Does ot bother you? Ilya Drakonov (talk) 15:25, 25 August 2015 (UTC).
- Of course, you just wanted to check because you don't understand, longer tell lies. There is also shows your knowledge of language - глядзіце. And it's only one of your articles :/ --Einimi (talk) 15:45, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- And if you want to check somebody's Russian in not-Russian project next time, choose another method, heh. --Einimi (talk) 15:49, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- As you wish, stop trolling please. Ilya Drakonov (talk) 15:51, 25 August 2015 (UTC).
- I'm not trolling, I'm spelling about obvious things. The truth hurts, doesn't it? --Einimi (talk) 15:54, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, you are right, I've said I know Belorussian on a 4, and that I have problems with spelling. Do I bother you? Ilya Drakonov (talk) 15:59, 25 August 2015 (UTC).
- Yes, you do. How can you know language on 4, if you make mistakes in spelling? Okay, I know English on 4. I just mistake only here, that's not scare... --Einimi (talk) 16:02, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- It is not your business. English Wikipedia is not the place to discuss Belorussian Wikipedia. If you want to complain - do it here, but not in English Wikipedia. Ilya Drakonov (talk) 16:13, 25 August 2015 (UTC).
- How you've circumvented it, heh! --Einimi (talk) 16:14, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Einimi, would you please stop harassing Ilya Drakonov. You have turned this into a personal vendetta, whereas Ilya has provided you with sound advice about Wikipedia's policies. He has even had the courtesy to translate important points into Belarusian for you. Of course this is your own talk page, but your making unreasonable demands and asking him to justify them. Please just drop it. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:09, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- I don't harassed him, he wrote on my page by himself. It's a personal vendetta, because he insulted me because his translate (which been some incorrectly). I didn't asked him for that. I understand all what you say. I learn English and I don't need any translations. And yeah, you're right, that's my own page and this language is English, bad English, but is. I didn't do something horrible things :/ --Einimi (talk) 04:16, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- I think that the best course of action, for the sake of maintaining civility, both you and Илья Драконов avoid communicating with each other unless it's on an article talk page specifically about the content of the article. I have both of your talk pages on my watchlist, so I'll intervene if I think either of you are annoying each other for no particular reason. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 04:37, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- Einimi, I translated it for you not to abuse you, but to help. I just gave you an advice for working in EnWiki. You don't bother me and I don't want you to stop working here. I just want to say that you must first discuss, then change the emblem of Belarus. Translating is not an abuse! You should not discuss my Belorussian here and change the topic of the conversation from you to me. Your fault is edit warring in Belarus article and I have just warned you to prevent it. Iryna, you maybe misunderstood my warning to this user, I'm sorry for that:(. Best regards to all, Ilya Drakonov (talk) 05:41, 26 August 2015 (UTC).
- No, I don't think I did misunderstand, Илья Драконов. As you would have noted, I have already encountered behavioural problems with this user who seems to have a combination of a WP:COMPETENCE problem, as well as not wanting to WP:LISTEN. Please ping me from any of the relevant article talk pages if there are further problems. I'm still trying to assume good faith and hope they will recognise that they aren't good candidates for working on English language Wikipedia. Cheers, Ilya! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:59, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
- Iryna, thank you! I hove our good faith will help. Best regards, Ilya Drakonov (talk) 06:24, 26 August 2015 (UTC).

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:57, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!
Belarusians
[edit]Regarding this edit by you – the Russian language's status as the second official language of the state justifies the inclusion of the Russian variant of "Belarusians" in the opening sentence. In addition, the Belarusian language is hardly used by anyone there and Russian can be considered as the main language. Furthermore, your example of Finns and Finland is silly, because I can easily show you the Belgians page, which has variants in three different languages or the Canadians page, which also lists French, because the state's two official languages are English and French. – Sabbatino (talk) 11:16, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- >Regarding this edit by you – the Russian language's status as the second official language of the state justifies the inclusion of the Russian variant of "Belarusians" in the opening sentence. The status of the official language doesn't make this language as the national of Belarusians. The state and the country are different things.
>In addition, the Belarusian language is hardly used by anyone there and Russian can be considered as the main language. HELL NO. I'm a Belarusian so I can say that my main language is Belarusian and it's my only NATIONAL language that I use in my every-day life. And large amount of Belarusians (especially in villages) use Belarusian and they don't need any kind of Russian at all. Also, Ukrainians, who speak Russian don't need their translation into this language.
>Furthermore, your example of Finns and Finland is silly, because I can easily show you the Belgians page, which has variants in three different languages or the Canadians page, which also lists French, because the state's two official languages are English and French. It's not silly, because Belgians and Canadians are not monoligual nations at all. Belgians can be French, German and Dutch because these languages are their HISTORICAL languages. This one also for Canadians, who serve English and French as their national language (because quebecois are also Canadians). Belarusians are monolingual nation. We don't serve Russian, Polish or other languages as our national language, but Belarusian. --Einimi (talk) 16:21, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
