KrivisKrivaitis (
talk·contribs) Interested in everything, on Wikipedia contribute mainly to history. I try to clean up pages that do not flow very well in the English language (have obvious Lithuanian grammar structure) and have lackluster information and misused or not enough sources. Whenever I am able, I add sources from quality books also.
Thank you for contributing to Lithuania related articles!
I just noticed your edits to Lithuania-related articles and thought you would like to join the
Lithuania WikiProject, an initiative to improve coverage of Lithuania-related topics on Wikipedia. You can read the
top 10 tips for Lithuanian editors, ask a
question, get updates on
new articles, and figure out the best way
you can help.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by
JL-Bot (
talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is
tagged (e.g. {{WikiProject Lithuania}}) or
categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See
WP:RECOG for configuration options.
For old news, please take a look into
news archive.
New articles related to Lithuania
This is the place to announce new articles related to Lithuania that you or someone else has recently created. Add new articles at the top of this list.
Tip: check
here for an automated list of new articles that link to the
Lithuania article.
Caution: This list does not include unwikified articles or articles that are Lithuania-related, but do not link to this article.
Any help in translations of valuable/interesting articles from
Lithuanian Wikipedia would be helpful. Please add requests by placing {{Expand Lithuanian}} on articles that need expansion. You might also help adding
interwiki links to already existing articles. Note that translation is easiest way to make yourself familiar with editing Wikipedia in foreign language.
Kaunas Old Town is already have an article in Lithuanian Wikipedia:
lt:Kauno senamiestis, anyone who can speak Lithuanian or acknowledge something about there can replace this redirect page by translated content.
Holy Cross Church in Chicago This landmark church, founded by Lithuanian immigrants is in the "Back of the Yards' area of Chicago that was the backdrop for Upton Sinclairs's book, The Jungle. It was historically referred to as "the Lithuanian Cathedral", and the article is in need of expansion.--

Help improving the article
Vilnius Lyceum (please correct mistakes in order to remove {{copyedit}} template).
Oskar Milosz this is a French poet not a Lithuanian poet. He worked for the Lithuanian government in Paris but did not Lithuanian and published his oeuvre in French. Needs to be moved to the French poetry section.
Help is needed at
Red army crimes in Lithuania. A Lithuanian editor perceives any criticism of the article and its content (it is undergoing
AfD) as motivated by
Red Army sympathies/bias. His personal attacks and struggles with English and WP policies and procedures have resulted in edit warring and much discord. Maybe someone with a Lithuanian background can mediate? Jim Dunning |

The following sources are available from subscription databanks for the time periods indicated. The specific format of material varies between citation, abstract, and full text format. If anyone wishes to obtain information from these sources, please send me an e-mail indicating your own e-mail address and either the specific subject of interest, or the title and dates of the sources of interest, and I will forward what I can find.

Referencing
A simple yet comprehensive tutorial would help a lot: I.E. - inline, general references
Some good images are on
Lithuanian wiki. Try looking there, but those images most likely will have to re-uploaded to commons.
If there is no image you want try
flickr.com. Look for creative commons images. However, only
Attribution License &
Attribution-ShareAlike License are acceptable on Wikipedia. When uploading, don't forget to identify flickr users who took the pic!
Don't get confussed because Flickr also has something it calls "public image." That is not the same as copyright status.
Guidelines
Here are some Wikipedia conventions:
For main articles use this template: {{main|ARTICLE NAME}}
For related topics use this template: {{see also|ARTICLE NAME}}
Add a non-breaking space ( ) between a unit and the value (e.g. 25 [[kilometre|km]] renders as 25
km)
All stub templates and categories are maintained by
WP:WSS. Please direct request for new stub templates / categories to
WP:WSS/P instead of simply creating them. Going through WP:WSS ensures a consistent naming format and that the templates are listed the correct places. Both things help the stub sorters tremendously in their work. Thanks for your understanding.
The category tree is quite simple - you might explore it through
category:Lithuania and its subcategories and sub sub categories. I've made some changes, to make it similar to other countries categories. IMO this is about enough, just some explanation is needed, and I might even write it in some time. They're quite easy to create - no request is needed.
