Greek to me

Greetings. I just wrote the page Greek to me. I am comparing similar expressions in other languages. I was wondering if you would be able to add the expression in any languages with which you are comfortable. Btw, I just found your page/profile by running a search for users who have a level 4/level 5 ability in non-English languages. Thanks much! samwaltz 04:49, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Christianization of Rus

Sorry, I had to revert your edit. First of all, we cannot use copyrighted text borrowed from other web sites (Enc of Ukraine in this case). More importantly, this article is about Christianization of Rus, which is a specific event, rather than the history of all christianity related events in present-day Ukraine. TIA for your understanding. --Irpen 08:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ukrainian topics

Also, if you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to announce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.

Also, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

Again, welcome!--Irpen 08:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Portal

I will see what I can do.

BTW, if you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to announce there the new articles you create. As for your articles Baidak and Petro Kalnyshevsky, I've already added them. Thank you. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea. --Irpen 21:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for info. If have enough time, I will try to participate. Ans-mo 06:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ans-mo, please try to control your talk page entries somewhat. These are the topics on which everyone has strong opinions. Please try to not contribute to further deterioration of the inter-editors relationship. One easy thing that helps, is to give at least an hour before responding to an annoying post. (Such responses can always wait.) When you spend more time here, you will see how deeply rooted are some editing disagreements, how editors still often manage to resolve them, what methods certain editors use to get an upper hand (most don't) and how to conduct the talk page discussions to get things done rather than "get" "them", you know. I really need to resolve some backlog before I can fully invest myself into this dispute. And, by that time, there would likely be more urgent disputes waiting for resolution. That's wikilife. A price we pay for making just some articles reasonably good. Happy edits, --Irpen 20:12, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to follow the advises. I just thought, that we have to follow simple rules of Wikipedia, neutrality, several opinions representing (if necessary), independent judgement. Here I see, that views on some topics are dominant just because of quantity advantage and manipulative skills of their supporters, instead of relying on Wiki rules.Ans-mo 07:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a little too difficult to reply in few words but I do understand you. The diversity of editors is the main asset of Wikipedia. It works more often than not (but not 100% of the time, true enough.) Cheers, --Irpen 07:50, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the diversity of POWs, it could be a big asset. But when there is just erasing opposite opinion even from discussion pages, it does not make mutual efforts really fruitful and neutral.Ans-mo 08:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP Christianity

Hi, I saw your name on the WikiProject Christianity Membership page.

I've made some changes to the WP Christianity main project page, added several sup-project pages, created a few task forces section, and proposed several more possible changes so that we can really start making some serious progress on the project. Please stop by and see my comments on the project talk page here and consider joining a task force or helping out with improving and contributing to our sub-projects. Thanks for your time! Nswinton 14:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for information. If having enough time, I may try to take some little part. Ans-mo 14:31, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Thanks a lot for several articles you started lately. Please do not forget to cite sources in the end. Also, sourcing the images is absolutely mandatory and not doing that will result in their being deleted at bot-like speed. I fixed Apanovich but I was merely lucky to find it. Thanks again. --Irpen 18:36, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for mending Apanovich photo situation. I mistakenly thought, that it could be used on "fair use" condition. By the way, I found it initially not on ZN page, but on the page of the Museum of dissident movement.[1]Ans-mo 06:15, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dated cleanup tags

Hi, thanks for your message, SmackBot does not generally add tags, but merely dates those that are already there. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 19:25 30 May 2007 (GMT).

Thanks for your information. Anyway, I think that in some sort of articles reliable "External links" could be considered as enough "Reference". It is just the question of naming it "references" or "external links". Ans-mo 06:07, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer

Hi,

I noticed that you placed a link to the page Lyons in this article. This page is a disambiguation page, containing the names of many people, places companies etc all called "Lyons". To which did you mean to refer. Please change your link to point directly to the appropriate page. For more information, see WP:WPDAB. Thanks Dontdoit 23:51, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, that was a passage from public domain catholic encyclopedia, Lyons evidently meant French city. I will try to correct. Best regards. Ans-mo 06:20, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Abundant Life Foundation

Hey, Ans-mo. I wanted to give you a heads-up about Abundant Life Foundation. There's been some concern by myself and others on the ALF dab page that the Abundant Life Foundation organization may not meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). You can see some preliminary discussion about it here. Now, I'm not saying it does or it doesn't meet the criteria, but to perfectly upfront, I haven't been able to find too much information about it, and this can have an effect on meeting notability criteria. On the other hand, this NGO could be very notable, if only we could find good secondary sources about it. If the article was to be nominated for deletion, the votes could go either way depending on the arguments presented. So, with that said, can you find other sources for this groups notability besides their websites? I was able to find mention of this NGO on the official Thai government website, but that may not be enough for other people. Then again, that may suffice. Let me know what you find or help contribute to a discussion about its notability on Talk:Abundant Life Foundation and a discussion abou its subsequent inclusion on the dab page over at Talk:ALF. To speak frankly, most of us are ignorant of this organization, but that is no reason why it should not be able to meet the notability guidelines I linked to above. Read them over and let me know what you think. Another suggestion: you may want to contact the WikiProject that maintains this article for help. —Viriditas | Talk 02:03, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Viriditas. Thanks for your detailed notification about this issue. First of all, the article Abundant Life Foundation belongs to the List of non-governmental organizations in Thailand. Second, it is mentioned in related to Bangkok Post Directory of charities in Thailand. Maybe it is not the biggest and very well known foundation, but I dont see the reason, why it should not be shortly described and mentioned in related lists or directories.Ans-mo 07:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deaf-mute

The information you added is not appropriate for the Deaf-mute article. That article is about the historical (and now outdated and offensive) term "deaf-mute"; it is not about deafness in general or deaf education. The information you added is more appropriate for the articles on Deafness, Deaf culture, or possibly a new article on deaf education. Note that some of the information may already be contained in one of those articles. Redundant information should not be added. If it is already in one article, you can wikilink it in another article.

Note also that your source article ("Education of the Deaf and Dumb") probably does not reflect currently acceptable standards for education of the deaf. Its use of the term "deaf and dumb" reflects an even more outdated and offensive way of thinking than the term "deaf-mute". My advice is to find a more suitable, non-religious source, or to simply not add the information. Thank you. Ward3001 15:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dioceses of Vietnam and Category: Roman Catholic Church in Vietnam

I don't think the dioceses belong into that category, as they are already member of the Category: Roman Catholic dioceses in Vietnam, which is a subdirectory of the Category: Roman Catholic Church in Vietnam. As far as I understand categories, in case there is a subcategory which fits then the article should not be added into the parent categories anymore. Same as e.g. Category:Florida is almost empty, and only contains lots of subcategories. andy 16:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. You are right.Ans-mo 05:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transliteration policy

As a member of WikiProject Ukraine, you are invited to participate in the discussion about transliteration of Ukrainian words. I would appreciate your participation. Discussion is located here. Thank you. — Alex^(U|C|E) 17:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Protestants in Ukraine

Hi, I've nominated an article you worked on, Protestants in Ukraine, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created on July 9 where you can improve it if you see fit.--Riurik^(discuss) 01:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I think this article should be reworked, if pretending for such high nomination. The major part of the article is just copypasting from Ukrainian Religious Portal RISU (references indicated in the article). RISU allows to use its materials in part and as a whole but with reference on source. Sorry, if it brought some inconveniences. Maybe it is necessary to make special template: This article incorporates material from RISU portal (or something of that kind).Ans-mo 06:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote the above passage before finding, that the article had been modified. OK. Regards.Ans-mo 06:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Project tagging

Just a note that you need to set "class=" not "quality" otherwise the categorising will not work. I was talking about {{WPVN}}. thanks, YellowAssessmentMonkey 05:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Thanks. I thought it was a standard template for all projects. Some projects have "quality" in that place of template.Ans-mo 05:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Diocese of Vinh Long

Hi, there. I believe you're the creator of the page on the Diocese of Vinh Long. Can you tell me please what "suffragate" means? Thanks for your help. Kayobee 07:59, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Kayobee. Thanks for your comment. I took the word "suffragate" from one of the earliest created articles on Roman Catholic Dioceses in Vietnam (you can watch all of them on the page Roman Catholicism in Vietnam). It seemed to me as a special catholic term. After looking into dictionaries, it is now appear that it was a mistake, and should be changed to "suffragan diocese". Thanks. Regards. Ans-mo 08:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Already corrected. Ans-mo 11:13, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Amicus Meus

A tag has been placed on Amicus Meus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. © regua [ talk | contribs ] 11:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
