Hi there. Mind if I ask what 'asd' means, e.g. in this edit?
I understand your edit, but wondered what the letters stood for.
I looked for wp:asd but found none. Thanks, Trafford09 ( talk) 17:10, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Howdy, Greyhood.
Regarding your recent move of Nikolai Smirnov (Soviet Navy officer) to Nikolai Ivanovich Smirnov: not long ago, I moved the article in the opposite direction, for the reason that people looking for a certain Nikolai Smirnov is much more likely to know his profession than his middle name. Don't you think so? I mean, if people are presented a list consisting of
unless they knew his middle name, they would have to sift through the whole list – well, on average half the list – to find the right guy, wouldn't they?
See also this page, that went through WP:RM: Talk:Vladimir Smirnov (skier) – unanimously.
What do you make of this line of reasoning?

Please do not continue to do blanket removals of cited content from the article Lavrenti Beria. This is the second time you have completely removed an entire section of properly sourced and in-line cited text. I posted a talk page message the last time you did it. You ignored it.
If you have additional sources (beyond the ONE source you approve of, Beria's family), please add them to the article alongside the others so that we can get a broad and inclusive collection of information on the subject.

Hello,
I noticed you removed the link to International Futures from the Russian country page, and I wanted to start a conversation with you to see if I could clear up what you take issue with. For starters, International Futures is the world's largest integrated assessment model for global forecasting. As with any futures studies, this project could be written off as taking a crystal ball mentality, but I encourage you to take a look at some of the outputs from this group to judge their conceptual foundation for yourself:
It's difficult to find independent sources that verify their work (I'm not sure that such a thing truly exists), but I think that some of their clients and projects may speak to the quality of their work. I have seen International Futures of the UCB Library's International Organizations page, which may lend the project some validation. I've been in touch with International Futures to get this list of some of their recent work, so if there's any other questions regarding their work I can give you their contact information, or I could contact them on your behalf.
I've been given the green light by the Wikiproject: Countries community to post external links to the model on country pages, but as with any Wikipedia editing, it requires consensus. I think that it's a tool that has a great deal of utility, and the forecasts add something new and interesting to country discussions. As far as I am aware, this is the only place where these policy planning tools are freely available and open source. This project seems to place significant emphasis on transparency, which is part of the reason that I place such value in it. As with any data project, keeping data up-to-date is an endless process. However, it seems to me that International Futures does a commendable job at keeping its data sources relevant.
Sorry for the long message -- I feel like the topic requires a full response. I look forward to hearing from you! ( Shredder2012 ( talk) 17:17, 28 February 2012 (UTC))

This happens on some of these project templates. Somebody somewhere talked something about fixing it sometime but it never happened. What you have to do get it listed as "b-class" is include all the b-class sections (hidden text in there):
|b1 =yes |b2 =yes |b3 =yes |b4 =yes |b5 =yes |b6 =yes
If one of these is not included it defaults to a "no" and will automatically list it as c-class. At least that's how it works with WP Poland. VolunteerMarek 03:16, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Hi, in the last 24 hours you've made 4 or more reverts to the same, or substantially similar material. Please undo the last one.

OK, no prob, sorry. I will put back the ones where you also rated Soviet, they always matched. My main concern, as I explained on the WikiProject Military History was that as good as an article might become over time, that it would never have any chance of meeting the criteria for a Good Article of an only related project, which is understandable but by the same token, makes including the article in the project almost counter productive and more than a bit darn frustrating for any potential editor.
Would it be possible to see the criteria for such assessments? I must admit at being more than a bit frustrated as some of them. For example, the "START" assessment on the article
Order of the Red Banner simply makes no sense to me. Maybe if I saw your assessment criteria, I could insure future articles are more complete in the areas that are obviously lacking. I honestly cannot imagine what that might be in the case of a medal. When one has its description, history, criteria, recipients, pictures, what else is required for an article to be considered complete? Its molecular structure?

Hi again, I just read through the Quality Scale and it raises even more questions on my part, especially since you just rated the article as a mere C:
I honestly don't agree with this low assessment, it is a medal... Not a political leader, not a marking event in a nation's history, it is a medal. I'm sorry, I don't know the name of the lady who dyed the ribbon or of the guy who dug the ore from the mine to smelt the sucker, nor did I find the exact chemical composition of the suspension ring... What possible information could be added? I'm not angry, I'm completly befuddled!! And more than a little frustrated. Do you agree that anybody assessing an article should include the reasons for his conclusion in the talk page? IMHO, from what I've seen so far, assessments (ratings) are way too harsh! (For no reason!) These aren't Masters' dissertations! Have you seen the WikiPrijectODM board? Out of 2,646 articles, 2 are A and 2 are GA... That is absolute insanity! One of the 2 GA is
Hero of the Russian Federation, I've read it, heck, I upgraded it, it has NOTHING more than my latest articles, really, NOTHING, even WPRussia rated it a GA. Was it a domino effect after the first GA? I've read the "More detailed criteria" in all classes, these assessments are too harsh, and honestly, frustrating enough to push editors to quit altogether, especially when no explanation is left on the talk page, specific explanations. There are GAs out there, many of them, many Bs but very few Cs and I did NOT leave stubs, but it seems nobody will stick his or her neck out for some weird reason.

Let me explain a bit about myself, I've been a military historian and very seriously into
phaleristics for over 30 years, my personal collection holds over 1,200 items and I'm a senior moderator on the subject in more than one international society on the subject. This list here
List of orders, decorations, and medals of the Russian Federation, there's over 10 years of my research (in 4 different languages) that went into this list. Even the Russians use my data! My friends told me I was nuts to slap everything on Wiki and that I should write a series of books, they still think I'm nuts for simply giving away so much research. After creating darn near every single article on Russian Federation state awards, I was quite surprised to see Soviet awards had been so thoroughly bypassed and set out to rectify the situation. Check out
Orders, decorations, and medals of the Soviet Union, as I create the various articles, I also update this list adding all references, quite the task. It's now more complete than the Russian article! I even photograph my own awards to complement articles where the available ones aren't up to par.
My thanks to date? START and C ratings... I'm sorry, I don't think so. The nitpicking must stop, or I will. I checked about the Lead in section you mentioned, a medal doesn't nor can it have an extended lead in section as described, how can you put a thing like that into context? A simple description that won't cost you your first 2 of 4 paragraphs is the only way to go. Again, sorry, but this is nitpicking at its finest. What is so GD taboo about a GA rating on this bloody thing?!?
You said the Hero of the Russian Federation article must've been rated years ago to get its supposedly now undeserved GA rating, well great! You've just shot down 1/2 of all WikiProjectODM GA rated articles, that only leaves the one out of the 2,646. Does this make any sense to you? Honestly? 2 GAs out of 2,646? Are editors so lame? So lazy? So carefree? Do they so lack knowledge in their own field of expertise as to merit these written slaps in the face? That's exactly how I take these, and I cannot believe I'm the only person feeling this way. You guys have to stop slapping anything on, especially the lowest possible rating one can give if a bloody comma is out of place.
Please don't think I'm singling you out here, I'm not. There seems to be this quite unhealthy aura of a university teacher's lounge in the air around here. I've been told (by others) some work wasn't adequately referenced, what can one do when the entire subject is contained on a single 80 year old official decree?!? If you're wondering why I'm getting a bit irritated, read this little exchange I had with one of your colleagues [ [11]]. I know perfectly well what he wanted me to add to the article, I know military history, but it was biased and unreferenced and he used his position to pressure a change versus a higher rating!?! I was NOT impressed. If he wants it in, he can amend the article himself, notice he didn't do that did he?
Now... I've read, read again and re read the Quality scale, 90%+ of the articles easily meet the GA standard. Why is this such a taboo thing to do? I have well over 150 references on the subject, NONE, not a single reference available anywhere in the World today contains the data each article contains on a particular item in these articles. Matter of fact, last month I caught a plagiarist in the US selling posters and a book from these articles (from MY research), so I guess they must be OK.
GA = Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (although not equalling) the quality of a professional encyclopedia. Well these are above the data one would find in ANY encyclopedia (in any language!) on the subject, I dare anybody in Wiki to prove me wrong. If a shorter "lead in" due to the nature of the article kicks it from GA to C... Its pretty sad. Upgrade them myself to B?? -SIGH- That's like you saying, "do want you want, who cares..."
I hope you'll share this rant of mine with as many of your fellow assessors as possible. This place needs to be shaken up... It's really getting stale, sorry, but there you have it. I'm going to take a break now... I wanted to finish all Soviet ODMs and then do all Russian Federation ministerial awards also but this seriously took the wind right out of my sails. And like I said, it isn't you, it's the general aura about ratings here, quite unhealthy for Wiki IMHO. You can't afford to discourage or piss off your editors, they're your life blood, and these ratings are basically their only "slap on the back" (sorry, but barn stars don't cut it). Cheers! Fdutil ( talk) 01:25, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
You didn't disturb me, don't take it personally please... The overall rating system seems misused (IMHO), and I mean in most other projects also, like I said, there seems to be an unwritten code of start low, stay low. BTW, how does one nominate an article for GA? Then A? I'm really fired up to stir up some dust around here. (inserts smiling emoticon here)

Hi. When you recently edited List of cultural icons of Russia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page State symbols ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, please do not copy copyright material so slavishly in future. Here, you wrote "Putin brought together 13 countries at a November 2011 conference endorsed by World Wide Fund for Nature, and raised over $330 million in funds to preserve the the [sic] endangered species." which, I'm sure you know, is almost the same as the original: "Not only did he bring together 13 countries at a November conference endorsed by WWF last year, but he also raised over $330 million in funds to preserve the soon to be extinct species." Also, please, don't make so many edits in different sections at one time - it makes it impossible to revert your edits if there's a problem (I disagreed with three parts of your edit). Many thanks.

Please do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted.

Your edit [12] was a bit of an own goal. You said the the purpose of the edit was to:
But you left all the nonsense in the text!
When the Comrade M made his edit, I checked his/her claimed source and added what the source really says as the caption. [13].
If you are going to do these edits, please could you do them more carefully. Given that 2 editors insisted on the photo of the building site in preference to the nice photo of him and Bush with his old car, I could not just revert again (I did it once). But the virtue of a caption that accurately captures Comrade M's source, was that it suggested that it was all nonsense.
Please either restore the photo with its caption, or do a proper job of correcting the nonsense in the text.
Please also do some corrections on the article on the building site that the picture was of.-- Toddy1 ( talk) 20:31, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
This edit doesn't contain sensationalism, Im not sure if NPOV even applies here, because there was a primary source reporting these things. The reliability of the source might be worth mentioning to provide context- but I dont see how we can logically omit many of these related sourced statements and maintain a good article on Vladmir Putin. Im not sure if these recent edits are constructive. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Vladimir_Putin&diff=prev&oldid=491168819 http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Vladimir_Putin&diff=prev&oldid=491061433 Wrathofjames ( talk) 17:15, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Greyhood - please remember that a contributor to the talk page for the article on Putin has only limited English and often misunderstands you. If you are going to use phrase like "Yellow Press", it might be better to wikilink it so that our comrade can understand it.-- Toddy1 ( talk) 19:34, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if you noticed, but images on commons using the PD-Russia tag, such as File:Alexander Fadeev.jpg are being deleted. There are currently 400+ of these Russian pics used in several thousand articles. I can easily replace all the writer images we lose here on en.wiki; as for the rest, I don't know...

Thanks for uploading File:Uzor Painting by Vladimir Putin.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

On 27 May 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Vladimir Zhirinovsky's donkey video, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a video ad for 2012 Russian presidential candidate Vladimir Zhirinovsky featured a donkey pulling a sleigh and called the donkey an allegory for Russia? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

You are a far more experienced editor than I, so what could have possibly motivated you to upload that image? It was deleted by another editor, for good reason.-- Jprg1966 (talk) 05:36, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
I tagged a Russian place article a minute ago, and I noticed that the physgeo parameter shows a red 25px, as the original image has been deleted on Commons. I don't know if you'd noticed this.
PS. I've done a couple Russian articles on Simple Wiki, including Isaac Levitan. Evermore and I are still going strong over here. INeverCry 19:30, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
You keep saying: "During his first presidency, the Russian economy grew for nine straight years", yet Putin was president for 8.5 years. Can you see why the word "nine" is nonsensical? Malick78 ( talk) 21:23, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
8.5 is rounded to 9 ;) And the economy grew during the nine calendar years when he was President (2000 to 2008) and fell in 2009. If the timing is given more specifically, I see no problem with that, the main point that the economy saw the long period of growth after the fall in 1990s. GreyHood Talk 21:31, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Malick, I think you are being silly about this. If United Russia can get 123% of the votes during elections, then what's wrong with getting the economy to grow for nine straight years during an eight-year long presidency? It's only logical!— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); June 7, 2012; 23:18 (UTC)
Did you see that annoying user User:Wrathofjames has been exposed as a sockpuppet and banned. I did guess that he/she was a sockpuppet - but I thought he/she was a sockpuppet of the only person who agreed with him/her. Maybe that person will get banned as a sockpuppet too. :) -- Toddy1 ( talk) 12:10, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Добрый день! Можно у Вас спросить? Мне не совсем понятно, почему вот эти прекрасные статьи (или, как это лучше назвать — информационные списки? ну как бы там ни было) —

Hi there. I would very much appreciate it if you could spend ~2 minutes and take a short survey - a project trying to understand why the most active Wikipedia contributors (such as yourself) may reduce their activity, or retire. I sent you an email with details, if you did not get it please send me a wikiemail, so that I can send you an email with the survey questions. I would very much appreciate your cooperation, as you are among the most active Wikipedia editors who show a pattern of reduced activity, and thus your response would be extremely valuable.

In this edit, you added a new reference ref name="marshall" but didn't define it. Since then, this has been showing as an error at the bottom of the article.

User:Bobrayner has removed the correct link/redirect from the main article "Economy of Russia" to the the article "Timeline of largest projects in the Russian economy". He is appearently doing that to many articles that don't fit his political views.
Because the main article "Economy of Russia" is locked, I had to change the redirect to User:Greyhood/Major_development_projects_in_Russia. Hope you can fix it later. The general attitude in the "West" is against Russia, it's getting more important to get the facts right about Russia.
