Featured List of the Day Experiment

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:55, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Well Done

		The 25 DYK Medal
		Congratulations! Here's a medal for you in appreciation of your hardwork in creating, expanding and nominating 25+ articles for DYK. Your nearly halfway to 50 already, M.K! ... I understand there are a few notable subjects about Lithuania that still need an article! (Despite your wide ranging coverage of castles, people, birds, fortresses and conferences!) Keep up the good work -- Victuallers (talk) 09:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Did you know that one other DYK contributor was so keen to get a medal that he stubbed his toe?

:) Thanks! M.K. (talk) 11:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Move of Scottish kings

There is a proposed move of Scottish kings at Talk:Kenneth I of Scotland that I thought I'd bring to your attention. I think you have had things to say on this subject in the past. Probably won't be successful, but that's wiki for you. Best regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 17:28, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Mindaugas

Hi MK, I'd like to start working on this, a few questions. 1) The first sentence is a combination of several elements - pronunciation, dates, alternate names - and this combination is not directly addressed in the WP manual of style page. So we need to find an acceptable example somewhere. 2) Somewhere out on WP is a map showing areas ruled by Mindaugas and areas under his influence, but I can't find it just now. Could it have been made by Knutson? Anyway, this would be a good addition if we could find it. 3) Organization - maybe origins first? We could put the LT background information here that was requested by the reviewer. Then there is good bit about family in House of Mindaugas that could be incorporated, but where will take some thought. 4) The bribe of Andrius Štirlandas - it would be good to state what that involved, but it will take me a good while to go thru the LT reference. Later, Novickas (talk) 14:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Question

M.K.. Hope all is well. Per chance, if you can, what Lithuanian names would be Russianized as Гердень and Эрдивид? All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 17:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Neither is this guy then? Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 21:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I encountered them when I was transliterating names for the Prince of Polotsk article. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 14:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Armia Krajowa killings 2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Armia Krajowa killings 2.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Coins

Hi, I think tables should be sortable... So I suggest using some simple table with lots of columns. Renata (talk) 19:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

BTW, do you know anything about interwar coins? Renata (talk) 15:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Pics & any other info (when, what kind, etc). I was trying to look for it, but I could not find a solid source. Renata (talk) 17:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Question

What does "purely" Polish mean ? Also who did you mean by "Jew killer"  ?--Molobo (talk) 10:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Did you know..?

Hello. Did you know Poland was in Polish-Lithuanian union? After your utterances I think you are unhelpful editor, who don't know about polish history. Have you ever learnt Polish history? Evidently you haven't learnt polish history, because you regulary write rots about polish history. And Piotrus has my support. Alden or talk with Alden 20:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
