I removed the website from the list because the article is previously deleted content. See [1]. It was deleted because notability wasn't established. Please read WP:NOTE regarding how to establish it. Once its established you may wish to propose recreation at deletion review.--Crossmr (talk) 01:37, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Alexa rank isn't enough to establish notability on the English wikipedia. The other article Odnoklassniki.ru was left because they have links showing significant coverage as required by the guidelines. To contest deletion, find some articles from reliable sources about the website and visit deletion review--Crossmr (talk) 02:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy-tagging

I declined you speedy request at [2] because I have no idea what the "Not actually" reason means, but it definitely does not seem to match any of the formal WP:CSD criteria. DMacks (talk) 17:35, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

See: Talk:Koashva, Talk:Oktyabrsky, Murmansk Oblast and Talk:Vysokiy. Why not to remove this empty talk page? --Insider (talk) 23:00, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

It does not clearly to my eye fit any CSD criteria. I don't dispute that they might be deletable, just letting you know your {{db}} tagging was poor. It's up to you to state why you think it should be deleted--not "hey admins, take a look at this, figure out what to do with it" but "this page fails this specific criterion"--to save the effort of others reinventing the wheel you already carved. Technically, if you use a standard speedy tag, the admin deletion tool automatically sets the log message too. DMacks (talk) 04:08, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Russian villages

Hi, Insider! Thanks for creating the articles about the rural localities in Murmansk Oblast. Just wanted to let you know that I'm working on a database (which at present is about 80% complete) which will allow to create (referenced) stubs like Valdost automatically, which means better consistency between articles and fewer mistakes. You might want to consider this if you are planning to create more stubs.

Also please be careful with the infobox parameters—in several instances I noticed that you've been using the "administrative district" field to hold the information about a town to which a rural locality is being administratively subordinated, and you sometimes do not distinguish between the administrative divisions (like the town of Kandalaksha) and the municipal ones (Kandalakshsky Municipal District). The infobox provides appropriate fields for all those occasions; please see the documentation of {{Infobox Russian inhabited locality}} for the full list. Another thing to watch is WP:RUS and the types of the inhabited localities. Many of those which you marked as "posyolok" are in fact not officially designated so; they are explicitly called "inhabited localities" (населённые пункты) in both the municipal laws of the oblast and in OKATO.

As you can imagine, this kind of stuff is not much fun to clean up later, especially on this scale, so if you could please please please be extra careful with this in the future, it would be greatly appreciated. Naturally, if you have any questions, I'll be happy to assist. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); May 20, 2010; 18:55 (UTC)

Привет. Позволю себе ответить по русски, так как вижу что Вы его знаете. Я написал стабы только на мурманскую область, Валдость это скорее исключение было, больше ничего заливать ен планирую. Большое спасибо за исправление моих ошибок и подсказки тут. А вы хотите потом залить эту базу только в ен-вики, или в ру-вики тоже? В любом случае хотел бы обратить Ваше внимание на ru:Википедия:Проект:Населённые пункты России и на ru:Обсуждение_Википедии:Проект:Россия#База_данных. Спасибо. --Insider (talk) 11:34, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Ага, я те страницы видел, но всё равно спасибо. Свою базу я надеюсь направить на en_wiki; на ru_wiki ею никто не интересовался, да и не рекламирую я её особенно, поскольку не имею привычки нахваливать незаконченный продукт. Если на ru_wiki от неё будет кому-то польза, то поделюсь, естественно. Я же над ней работаю не для того, чтобы потом под матрас спрятать :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); July 14, 2010; 13:07 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

File:SalbykKurgan221201683.jpg [3]

Dear Insider, please help me with the proper tagging. At the time of uploading, the file was properly tagged under the then Russian law. The law has changed twice since, but the status of the photo has not changed, it is in public domain. Some details:

photo was taken in 1880s, before the kurgan was excavated and dismantled;

photo was anonymous, a part of the excavation report;

photo was published in excavation reports, republished in Adrianov A.V., "Selections from field notes of kurgan excavations in Minusinsk territory", Minusinsk, 1902-1924, p.56

there were no copyright laws in Russia in 1880's nor in 1902-1924, it was in public domain from the first publication, and used in a number of later publications without copyright notices.

all created much later copyright time limits have long passed.

I am lost in what is a right tag that can't be questioned. Your help will be grately appreciated. This is one of the few outstanding kurgans that were leveled off and have a real photograph left. Barefact (talk) 03:40, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Done. --Insider (talk) 09:41, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Здравствуйте! Вы совершенно правы, это моя ошибка. Форма "Маяк Терско-Орловский" использовалась в Законе о муниципальных образованиях, но была затем поправлена, а я у себя забыл заменить.

The original stable and consensual version (up to your edits) on October 20, 2015 without the speculation on the Internet. "Speculation on the Internet" you added in the article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kayta

Hello Insider,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kayta for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 15:38, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Reverts

Stop your biased reverts and before starting edit war write down why you include disputed territory in the country list!--g. balaxaZe★ 15:57, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Consensus in particular WP:EDITCONSENSUS and File:Consensus Flowchart.svg. Use talk page for this. Also see other categories Category:Landforms by country, Category:Geography by country, etc... UPD. Also see WP:NPOV (by International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia): the category Category:Bays of Abkhazia included in the category Category:Bays by country (point of Abkhazia, Russia, ...) and in the category Category:Bays of Georgia (country) (point of Georgia (country), USA, ...). --Insider (talk) 06:21, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a place for Geopolitical points of countries it is encyclopedia and you should edit neutrally nowhere in wikipedia you will find that abkhazia is a country and its status is equal to Germany to Georgia or Canada. It is not a country and putting in country category is pushing strong pro-separatist POV.--g. balaxaZe★ 10:15, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

And also Pakistan do not recognizes Armenia but nobody removing it from country lists because Armenia is largely recognized not only by other countries but also by International organizations, same case with Georgia it is largely recognized in borders (including Abkhazia and SO) so you have no right and example to act differently.--g. balaxaZe★ 10:19, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

File:Копия Эйфелевой башни в Воронеже.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.
