Wait and See

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nu%2C_pogodi%21_%28game%29&diff=112955780&oldid=100135075

And? "Wait and See" is the in-game text that refers to the game. "Wait and See" is the game's English name. WhisperToMe 04:12, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I thought it's translated tittle. Article is written like if "Ну Погоди!" is the original name of the game, and "Wait and See!" is the translation. If I'm wrong, please correct me.Garret Beaumain 19:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

There isn't any real translation; as apparent from the links, both names are in the in-game screen. There is only one version of the game. There is no in-game dialog. Both names are in the original name, and written by the same authors. WhisperToMe 07:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

As seen here: http://www.encyclopedia-obscura.com/gphcs/gameswait/title.gif - Both names are present in the sole version. The game uses "Wait and See" as its English name, and "nu, pogodi!" as its Russian name. WhisperToMe 07:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Ig Nobel

Neat tidbit about the Russian name for the Ig Nobel prizes. Can you point to anywhere that uses it - in case somebody comes along who fears that it's vandalism; it would be good to have a citation in the article. - DavidWBrooks 17:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

This is not vandalism. Even the russian wiki page for IgNoble is named "Шнобелевская премия". I'll also add the link to a russian news source. Garret Beaumain 23:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:Catharsis band.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Catharsis band.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 05:31, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Alisa-Izgoy.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Alisa-Izgoy.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 12:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Gorbachev

Hi, Garret! Regarding Mikhail Gorbachev, you are clearly misunderstanding what the yo article is saying. You said that "Russians never spell [this word] 'Gorbachyov', because yo follows 'ch'", but that is plain incorrect. The Russian letter "ё" is, of course, pronounced (and sometimes trancribed) as "o" after postalveolar fricatives, but it does not mean it is transliterated/romanized as "o", yet alone "spelled by Russians" as such (the Russian spelling is Горбачёв, not Горбачов, although the latter is a valid last name as well). Please read the transliteration, romanization, and transcription articles for the differences between the concepts and note that in the Gorbachev article the word you keep editing is a romanization of this person's last name; spelled in full accordance with WP:RUS. I will restore proper romanization once again, but please do let me know if you have further questions. As a native Russian speaker who very much loves the letter "ё", I think I'll be able to address your questions satisfactorily :) Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

The argument

Hello.

Russian rock for years is my favorite music genre, i know alot about it and i know all the classic Russian rock bands. Folk-rock was a characteristic of most classic Russian rock bands. Listen to some of the albums of Aquarium from the 80's, and the 90's to. Russian instruments, Russian folk music used, Russian national themes in the text. Many songs of DDT use Russian folk themes and in many songs they use a woman folk-choir on backing vocals, singing in the Russian folk way. Alisa have a few songs which are Russian folk rock.

Lets continue to the 90's. Many of the songs of Karol i Shut are set in a Russian-village, and many times traditional Russian characters are used.

So as you can se, folk rock was always in Russian rock. M.V.E.i. 10:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

If you want certain examples of songs or explanations or anything like that feel free to ask. M.V.E.i. 10:06, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

• Please, what you do to article is pushing your point of view. Didn't you read articles on Alisa, DDT, Korol i Shut, and other bands? They don't play folk music, no sources cite them as folk music - everywhere they mentioned, they are referred to as simply "rock" bands. What seem to you "folk themes" don't make the band a folk music band, which is a specifyic genre. Your opinion is not enough.Garret Beaumain 08:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

It's not my POV it's facts, they all use elements of folk-Rock. Folk rock can be hard rock, alternative rock, anything. What makes it folk is using national elements. They are referred to simply as rock bands due to the fact that they creat music in many rock genres. M.V.E.i. 10:33, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

P.S. What YOU do is pushing your POV. M.V.E.i. 10:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Kipelov&Mavrik-Smutnoye Vremia.jpg

The link you gave is broken

The link you gave was broken so i delete the statement again. If you want it to stay at least change the formulation of the sentence from: "Folk rock music was led to public attention following..." to: "Folk rock music had a revival following...", i think it's a fair compromise. M.V.E.i. 10:25, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I returned your statement, and re-wrote it as i said should be done. I wrote it as a section above the pagan-metal section. M.V.E.i. 10:41, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

References needed

Hello :-)

You have made two statments in the Russian rock article: 1) Folk rock music had a revival following Pelagea's and Melnitsa's rise from underground acts to constantly radio-aired bands. 2) The undeground pagan metal scene, based on Slavic pagan traditions, has grew wide with such bands as Temnozor, Arkona and Butterfly Temple being noted by auditory outside Russia.

Could you please give me references that could be used to support those claims? It's just that i'm now in a process of referencing the article so no-statement could be deleted. M.V.E.i. 15:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Vladimir Putin

Hello Garret B. The 'prime minister-designate' thingy is back, on Putin infobox & succession box. Electrobe has re-inserted it. GoodDay (talk) 15:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

• Thanx. I hope Electrobe will understand he was wrong. Garret Beaumain (talk) 17:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

He won't relent. He's re-added prime minister-designate & (so far) isn't discussing it at the Putin talk-page. Though I'm AGF, he's behaviour (IMHO) is bordering on uncivil. GoodDay (talk) 21:12, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

PS: I hope I'm wrong, but I get the impression that Electrobe won't discuss it, as long as his edit isn't reverted. GoodDay (talk) 21:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

D&D articles for Wikipedia 0.7

Hi there!  :)

As someone who's worked on D&D and/or RPG articles before, I'm inviting you to participate in our goal to both improve articles that have been selected to be placed in the next Wikipedia DVD release, as well as nominate more to be selected for this project. Please see the WikiProject D&D talk page for more details. :) BOZ (talk) 15:57, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Genre field

They're not listening to anyone at this point. But don't worry, I've planned to take this to higher people. They made a speedy change to the template without considering how others felt about it, and it's not right. By the way, if the situation ever arises (and it probably will) would you be willing to voice your concern of this change? Orane (talk) 18:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

• I hope this problem will be solved and I'm ready to help to solve it in any way. Perhaps, some criteria for inclusion of genres, or a rule of larger term (Rock, Pop) would be a compromise. But I sure, removal is a fault. Thank you for your participation in this point. Garret Beaumain (talk) 18:54, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Renewed discussion about the EU entry in List of countries and outlying territories by total area

Hi,

I'm contacting you because you participated in the discussion about the EU entry in List of countries and outlying territories by total area in the past. So I concluded that you might be interested to know that two editors currently push for a change in the article structure that is in conflict with the standing consensus resulting out of our past discussion.

The consensus was to include the EU entry in the initial text of the article, but not in the actual table (even unnumbered). — Whereas the change that is currently pushed would result in moving the EU entry to the very end of the article, even after the references/sources table. The result can be seen here: [1].

The standing consensus was not my favorite solution, as I would like to include the EU into the very list (unnumbered), but I content myself with the standing compromise. Whether you agree to or oppose the change, I strongly feel that the article's structure should not be changed without a proper discussion and maybe even a new vote before changing the standing compromise. You might want to give your point of view in the current discussion at

Talk:List_of_countries_and_outlying_territories_by_total_area#Positioning_of_EU_.26_Antarctica_etc.

Image permission problem with Image:Aria-live-18-11-03.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Aria-live-18-11-03.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.aria.ru/. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Editing survey

Hi Garret Beaumain. My name is Mike Lyons and I am a doctoral student at Indiana University in the United States. I am conducting research on the writing and editing of high traffic current events articles on Wikipedia. I have noticed in the talk page archives at 2008 South Ossetia war that you have contributed to the editing or maintenance of the article. I was hoping you would agree to fill out a brief survey about your experience. This study aims to help expand our thinking about collaborative knowledge production. Believe me I share your likely disdain for surveys but your participation would be immensely helpful in making the study a success. A link to the survey is included below. An explanation of my project is included with the survey.

Replaceable fair use Image:Chorny Obelisk.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Chorny Obelisk.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 71.176.83.93 (talk) 02:00, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Repost of Rocker jacket

A tag has been placed on Rocker jacket requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.

Disco-Pop AfD

Hi. When you file an AfD, the actual deletion discussion page has to be more than just the reason and your signature - it needs to be formatted with the

{{subst:afd2 | pg=PageName | cat=Category | text=Why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~

template. It's explained at WP:AFD#How to list pages for deletion; there is a useful short-cut method you get to by clicking on "Preloaded debate" in the AfD template after you put it on the article. I have sorted out the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disco-Pop page for you. One of the extras that template puts on the page is a set of search links to look for sources - I haven't time to follow up, but a quick click on them suggests that, though the present article is pretty empty, the term may be in use enough to be the basis of an article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:42, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

GunMetal Angel 19:44, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

• "Welcome" - You're kidding me? ;) I'm a constant contributor since 2006.

Goth metal is not referenced anyway, therefore, ANY genre there is OR. Why do you stick to the more contraversional one? It is well known that "gothic metal" often used as a mislabel. And there are hundreds of reviews to describe Leaves Eyes as Symphonic metal. [2][3], among others. Some reviews do say "sympho/goth", and there's the reason for "gothic metal" addition in the infobox. But there's still their Napalm Records label page, which does not even mention Goth tag, instead, it says "symphonic rock/metal". Which is more believable than media-misused "gothic", that appears for almost every female-fronted metal band. I hope you will be satisfied with this explaination of my edit.
