Gerb. Renata, Kiek aš supratau, "non-free promotional" paveikslėliai gali būti naudojami tik tuo atveju, kai nėra nemokamos alternatyvos, pvz tokios kaip Creative Commons. Mūsų įdėtų medalių nuotraukų nemokamų alternatyvų nėra, todėl jas ir įkėliau su tokia licenzija. Ar aš kažką ne taip supratau?

Source question

Hey. Glad Oct 15th is history now? The question is this, are all websites that go city.lt, e.g. Garliava.lt [1], official govt sites? They'd be really useful if they were. Hope you get some fresh air, Novickas (talk) 22:48, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

LITHCLEAN bot question

Hi R - this page seems to be under partial bot control. How often does it run? Triggered manually or automatically? Percentages updated manually/womanually or automatically? Don't want to waste effort updating entries there if not necessary. No hurry, Novickas (talk) 15:22, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, will be patient, it's long term. Novickas (talk) 21:29, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Maybe not so long term given the BLP brouhaha. Would you be willing to contact the people who're creating project-based totally-unsourced-BLP reports to create a page for the LT project? Novickas (talk) 19:24, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Their gain, our loss :( I'll keep an eye on developments, probably the bot-assisted parts will get streamlined. The situation at LITH doesn't actually look too bad. Take care, Novickas (talk) 18:31, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Karaite Judaism in WP:Lithuania

Why did you remove the article about Karaite Judaism from the Lithuania WikiProject? The Karaim are an ethnic minority that have lived in Lithuania since medieval times and practice this religion. Lithuanian Karaites have their own traditions that express their Lithuanian-ness, such as building 3 windowed houses (one of the windows represents Grand-duke Vytautas, who allowed them to live in the country). Lithuanian Karaite contributions to world culture include the classic book _Chizzuk Emunah_ (_Faith Strengthened_) by Isaac ben Abraham of Trakai, a rationalistic argument that Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies outlined in the Christian Old Testament and that later Christianity made major departures from original Christianity. Isaac ben Abraham's book was praised by Voltaire and used by Enlightenment thinkers as a rallying point for secularism. It is still considered one of the great works of Jewish counter-missionary literature. Thus, I felt the article about Karaite Judaism belonged in WP:Lithuania, as Karaite Judaism is an interesting aspect of the country's culture and history. --AFriedman (talk) 19:26, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Here, I disagree--I think articles that discuss important aspects of Lithuanian culture are in the scope of WP Lithuania. This would include articles about a particular religion, including basic articles about Roman Catholicism (the majority religion of the country). The article about Lithuanian Jews is already in WikiProject Lithuania. On a related note, do you think the article about Crimean Karaites, who have an important population in Lithuania, belongs in this WikiProject? --AFriedman (talk) 21:24, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Lithuanian naval vessel categories?

Could you, perhaps, give me some background on your 1 November re-categorization of Flyvefisken class patrol vessel, HDMS Flyvefisken (P550), Grisha class corvette, and Vidar class minesweeper, which removed Lithuanian naval ship categories? I'm also curious about the almost simultaneous deletion of the newly emptied categories. Your edit summaries for the category deletions (from the deletion logs) indicate that you were claiming criterion C1 for unpopulated categories, but this is, according to the criterion itself, for categories "that have been unpopulated for at least four days". While continuing to assume good faith, I can't help but note that many of these were empty less than four minutes (much less hours or even days) before they were deleted. I've restored the categories on the article pages and ask that if you have any concerns about the categories themselves that you present your concerns about them in a WP:CFD discussion. — Bellhalla (talk) 07:00, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review for Eimantas Paltarackas

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Eimantas Paltarackas. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Tim Song (talk) 18:54, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Deleted article of Eimantas Paltarackas

Hello,

Please, accept my apology for disturbing you but more than a week ago one of my articles has been deleted by you. Under the deleting it's been stated as "No indication that the article may meet guidelines for inclusion: total advertising".

By the user Protonk (On "request undelition" page) I have been told that "In order to meet our inclusion criteria, a subject must be covered in significant detail by multiple reliable sources".

Since I wrote this article I wasn't trying to advertise anything. Whole time I was concerned that this article would have to meet the Wikipedia guidance, including the inclusion criteria In this article I have provided a short biography about the radio and tv personality, outlined as Wikipedia:Notability (people). I read the list of what classifies as a people and there I'd found exact criteria that would subscribe to my article as "Creative professionals - journalist, entertainers".

Speaking about a subject who suppose to be covered by multiple reliable sources, there are many independent public media sources that clearly states about the identity and status of the subject from my article. Most of these sources are in native Lithuanian language, whatsoever, most of it can simply be translated into English. Please, find the links bellow.

• Information about the subject at the biggest Lithuanian daily news paper

• The completed entertainment projects, ideas (Note: Information at the bottom of the page). Official "Yearly city days" website supported by the local government

• Eimantas Paltarackas are the author of these all printed reports and interviews (The main news source in Lithuania)

And there are many other independent sources, entertainment awards that the name of Eimantas Paltarackas appears on it.

Currently, the person that I wrote this article about is working in United Kingdom, into the broadcasting industry. Including British Broadcasting Corporation, well known as a BBC. However, legally I don't have the approval to provide you yet with the information about this work with the BBC as it is the upcoming tv show project. Time by time he does cooperate with various Lithuanian media too.

Again, I honestly do apologise if this article has appeared as a total advertising. But please, can you look at the sources that I have provided to you and see if this article meets the Wikipedia inclusion criteria. I only wish that providing the story of someone's life from the Creative professionals sector will be accepted and available to the public.

Thank you so much for taking your time on this matter, deep down I really hope that you can help me. Regards, Sean. Sean Todd Lewis (talk • contribs) 21:58, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Greek-Kazakh relations

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Greek-Kazakh relations. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greek-Kazakh relations. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

FlyLal

Hi there, I moved the article to FlyLal as this appeared to be the most appropriate from reading the article. There seem to be two words, neither of which is an acronym, but they are rendered without a space. If you feel that Flylal is more appropriate, please feel free to change this. The only thing that should not be done is to use a lowercase "f". If you do make any changes, feel free to change the references I altered too, you are right, if the references are rendered in a particular way, then they can be styled this way, though it is not too important. I hope this helps, if not, please post again! Thanks Nouse4aname (talk) 11:35, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

If LAL is still currently an acronym, then yes, FlyLAL would be more appropriate. If however, it is no longer considered an acronym, then it can't be treated as such. Feel free to make the final decision on this, so long as the name is rendered with an initial capital, it is fine! Cheers, Nouse4aname (talk) 09:03, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Result "The at that time popular arguments about the "revolt" of Memellanders are still reiterated today as if Lithuanian achievements after 1990 are still not yet available and as if no conferences occurred between Lithuanian and German historians. In 1965 the former leaders of the "revolt" were the opinion to keep furthermore the secret about the real details because Lithuania could be compromised in admitting the scandal of the fraud and conspiracy."

I can tell you about Lithuania Minor-persons who voted for Lithuania, repatriated to Germany and emigrated to Canada. Do you really want to know this? Are your ancestors among them? I hope that you do not know what you are writing and deleting. Kaubri (talk) 23:28, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Nobody denies that the Lithuanian government was behind the revolt. Even my high school Lithuanian history textbook fully admitted that. However, whenever you write an article about Klaipeda Region/Memelland you do it with an agenda to prove that it wanted nothing to do with Lithuania and was all about Germany. That's your POV that you should leave outside Wikipedia. BTW, full re-write of the article is in progress. Renata (talk) 01:45, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Tõnu Trubetsky as Bloomfield

I was rather skeptical about Tõnu Trubetsky being Bloomfield - after all, Trubetsky is a long-time high-profile musician and to lesser degree, writer. There were rumors about his shaky mental state but I didn't believe them, after all, they were just rumors.

However, now Trubetsky has published a new book... with Cat Bloomfield as co-author. All the reviews I've seen ([2], [3], [4], [5]) consider Trubetsky to be the only author - and quite possibly Bloomfield is just his cat.

Just thought you might want to know.

--Sander Säde 09:19, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Very interesting. Some more pieces:

• Contact info for The Flowers of Romance (band 2). The speedied article listed Tonu as vocals + 9 other members (none other for vocals). Note contact info has email to Balckplait (another name for Tonu).
• Employee profile at UK charity
• Facebook profile
• Myspace lists Cat as vocals of some UK band

Hm... Renata (talk) 14:57, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't think UK charity, FaceBook and MySpace profiles are related to "our" Bloomfield, as it is a fairly common surname (Bloomfield#People) and Cat can be just a shorthand of Catherine. The Flowers of Romance singer is definitely Trubetsky - even the other members of the band are from Vennaskond. I seem to remember an interview about the band by Trubetsky, but I could be wrong.

In any case, if I can somehow help with the clean-up, just let me know.

--Sander Säde 16:18, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I modified my WikiProject Estonia monitoring script to display changes in articles linked in your Bloomfield sub-page. That way I can see any changes in those articles every time I look at my watchlist - which is quite a few times in a day. If you would like to use the script, then this diff should give all the relevant code. All the best! --Sander Säde 10:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Paksas

Working on this is a pain, because there's so much detail, but I'm glad you pointed me to it, because a major item looked to be, er, wrong. The article read [6] that the Vilnius District Court convicted him, he appealed using the best lawyers in LT, and the Supremes acquitted. That is backwards per [7] - the Law Library of Congress - states Vilnius court acquitted, Supremes Appeals Court convicted. One for the books, if anyone is keeping them, and if the LLC is correct.

One question, is 15min.lt a reliable source? Used in the article, link [8]. Novickas (talk) 18:30, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Generally speaking 15min is as reliable as any other news portal -- i.e. not too much. They usually regurgitate other news sources and produce little original journalism. Supposedly this particular article is written by Aloyzas Sakalas, but it is a collection of half-baked political and personal rumors that run wild. I would not use it as a reliable source. The only thing that this could testify to that Paksas is accused of 100 different things, most importantly of strong ties to Russian oil money.

Thanks for taking care of this! My personal opinion of him is too negative to really adhere to NPOV :) Renata (talk) 18:52, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

On the unref'd BLP flagging front, I tried to use "cat scan" [9] but no results after about 2 hours; it might could be swamped, or it might be picky about formatting, or who knows what.

So so Wegner, p. 99 [4]

The Credit Agreement between the German Reich and the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics gave the Soviet Union an acceptance credit of 200 million RM over 7 years with an affective interest rate of 4.5 percent. The credit line was to be used during the next two years for purchase of capital goods in Germany and was to be paid off by means of Soviet material shipment from 1946 onwards.

While in article all given upside-down and "promices" affirmed in Feb 11 1940 given as The agreement covered "current" business, which entailed Soviet While - no in agrement text nor in secondary sources actually exist such explanation for - exactly the same story as DDR 1956 workers labled as "Nazi inspect Inspection of train with food" [12] - even it's clear at picture - no food at train exist :(Jo0doe (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Right now majority of the article deals with destruction battalions in Estonia, but as far as I know, the battalions were as active in Latvia and Lithuania - and even more active in Belarus and Ukraine. Also, the general description could use some work.

I do not know who could expand the article. Vecrumba is topic-banned, WikiProject Estonia has no history buffs and is semi-dead anyway. Zalktis (talk · contribs) and Peteris Cedrins (talk · contribs) are hardly active these days. Perhaps you know someone, who would be interested to expand the article - or even interested in it yourself?

I really have to love the income tax system here in Estonia. Filling out the documents online takes about fifteen minutes, returns arrive within a week.

As for "history buff" - I did not necessarily mean you :) WikiProject Estonia would love to have someone with a passion to write articles about history. Alas, all such people have been driven away from Wikipedia. My own interest in history tends to be more about the Middle Ages - and even then, centered around specific people, buildings or places.

And I really cannot read/understand scientific level Russian anymore, too - too much time has passed since I had to actively speak Russian, now I can barely understand everyday phrases.

I think I will leave a short notice about the article to some users, if you don't mind? Perhaps Zalktis or Peteris Cedrins - or Philaweb (talk · contribs) might be interested and willing to improve the article.

Gaspard Bauhin article

This is now a dog's breakfast - could you fix it? I don't know how to restore a version from a month ago; you could tell me how :) Novickas (talk) 21:11, 15 February 2010 (UTC) Ah, it requires the boldness to ignore the enlarged-font warning. Thx. Novickas (talk) 00:07, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Huh?

In all AGF what makes your project any different from all the rest on wikipedia? I know some russian project members fiercely resisted the idea of acknowledging they even had a project for a few years, but I am intrigued as to why white space seems so important on category pages for one particular project.

Rather than reverting all my edits with edit summaries only - you could at least have explained what makes your project different from the rest of wikipedia SatuSuro 02:10, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Category:Category-Class_Death_articles - the coloured banner shows that well managed projects can have these types of pages for Wiki assessment that project space (ie can actually have category and project pages tagged) - is there something in the template of the lithuanian project templates that screw up in the face of extra tags - surely someone can tweak the template? or what? SatuSuro 02:21, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Personal? In the old days some projects actually used bots to maintain tagging - I am not a bot and I couldnt give a xxxx what some projects do . mandated - Wikiprojects are looked upon as the scourge of the universe by some eds who cannot handle being criticised for their stupidity from a subject knowledge base - their challenged geographical and general knowledge shines through when they get their bees and bonnets in a knot. however - a significant part of wikipedia is now inhabited by projects - and when they are not dysfunctional like wp:history where they cannot manage themselves - projects need tagging to actually find what they have in their scope. Leaving cats off in my experience is a bit like saying yes you have a kitchen but you deny you have a bathroom, but hey wp is a broad field of ideas. I'll leave it with you, and leave it at that - and I will make a mental note to note to avoid tagging anywhere too close (having just done art of estonia and latvia today) -('sfunny I was in helsinki last october thinking - shall I go travel through there for piccies, but in the end just flew to budapest instead) at least the russia project came good eventually - cheers SatuSuro 07:16, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wikipedia Day NYC, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia at the Library and Lights Camera Wiki, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, for example User:ScienceApologist will present on "climate change, alternative medicine, UFOs and Transcendental Meditation" (see the November meeting's minutes).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back. And if the weather is good, we'll have a star party with the telescopes on the roof of Pupin Hall!
