Can you help?!?

I am in constant need of photos for various articles I am working on, and I am in dire need of the following photos from around the globe. So I turn to the community in the hope that someone out there is able to take the photos that I require.

If you can help with photos of any of these subjects, please upload them to Commons, and then post a short message with a link to the photos on my English Wikipedia talk page.

In the event you don't have a Commons log-in, you can email them to me at russavia.wikipedia@gmail.com and advise which licence you would like to licence them under, and I can do the uploading, categorisation, etc.

I have provided as much detail on what I require, including addresses, links to online maps, and photos of the subject that I am unable to upload to Commons, in order for photographers to identify the subject I require.

Notes

Please do not edit other people's statements..

Like you just did at RfArb/A: It's impolite, combative, and in the long run of things, fairly useless to the Arbitrators. See this discussion thread on more Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests#Statement_by_uninvolved.... Thanks. SirFozzie (talk) 19:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Refer to User_talk:Russavia#Collect right above here. It is dishonest of an editor to claim to be uninvolved, particular in a thread which is discussing topic bans on two editors in which Collect was more than a willing participant in edit warring, plastering notices on people's talk pages warning them of 3RR, when he was edit warring, and ignoring talk page discussions. It is now becoming a running joke. It may not be of any use to Arbitrators, but it of use to the general community who might be otherwise clueless as to an editor's level of involvement. But hey, if you say it is combative, I won't do it in future. I have removed all pages, except for those in my userspace from my watchlist, am no longer keeping any major tabs on discussions, with the exception of the clarification request, so I thank you for the link; I will post a comment over there. Cheers, Russavia Let's dialogue 19:43, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Avicopter AC313

Nice find! Since we do have an article for the Avicopter AC313, I'ved moved the photo there from the Aérospatiale Super Frelon/Z-8 page. - BilCat (talk) 10:08, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that BilCat, sorry just saw your message now. Got a heap of new permissions as well, with a lot of rare pics becoming available to us. Russavia Let's dialogue 19:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I left you a message [1]. No need to discuss anything. This is simply my suggestion. Biophys (talk) 00:42, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please STOP stalking my edits!! You have NEVER edited the article before, nor have you ever commented on the talk page. Taken in with the recent similar case, it is bloody obvious you are stalking my edits. And when you add the Aeroflot article into the fray, it is fricking obvious that you are still treating WP as a battleground. Isn't it fantastic that here I am, banned from interacting with you, yet you, given your previous (and still current) harrassment on myself, are not hit with a likewise ban. Stop using interaction bans as a weapon to control content, and to lock people who you consider an opponent out of an article. Otherwise you will find yourself getting raked over the coals. Russavia Let's dialogue 01:01, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. As well as this being a request for you to stop stalking my edits, this is also a request to leave me alone. That means stay off my talk page! Russavia Let's dialogue 01:04, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fine, I have no problem with not coming to your talk page. I thought it would be in your best interests to comply with your editing restrictions, and therefore left this message at your talk page (you was active but did not respond at article talk page for a few hours). Yes, I occasionally talked with Vecrumba and TLAM and watched what they do. They did not mind. Biophys (talk) 01:29, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Will someone get it thru this editors thick skull that stalking and harrassment is not on. And also tell them to stay away from me Otherwise I will explode. Russavia Let's dialogue 01:38, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AE report

I submitted it here. Thanks, Biophys (talk) 16:54, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course you did. LOL. I'll respond in kind to you. Fool. Russavia Let's dialogue 18:09, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a lazy boy

G'day and yeah, I suppose I really should get myself a Commons identity as well. Cheers YSSYguy (talk) 22:51, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Righto, thanks for the links. YSSYguy (talk) 23:16, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

opinion on Lizzie Phelan

Hi buddy. Would you be so kind as to give your opinion on the Lizzie Phelan entry as a member of the Russian Mass Media task force? Cheers GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 15:27, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GPF, thanks for the message. At the moment I am having to deal with some pretty serious harrassment at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Russavia so right now I can't look at it in any great depth. However, I did have a quick glance at it, and it does look like a "borderline" case somewhat. Try to find as many independent sources as you can. But at the moment, it looks like it is headed for a no consensus decision. If I get a chance in the next day or so, and the AfD is still active, I will see what I can dig up on it for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more immediate assistance to you, given the circumstances I hope you understand. Cheers, Russavia Let's dialogue 15:37, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ukrainians

I would be grateful for some support at Ukrainians. Some discussion-ignoring vandals want me to break the 3RR rule. Thank you! --Voyevoda (talk) 15:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's best not to edit war on the article -- that goes for both parties. I am currently blocked for a week because of breaching an interaction ban (refer to WP:AE), but even when I come off the block, I am afraid I am not going to be able to help...as much as I support the way you are handling yourself in general (except with some of the reverts) -- at least you are discussing. However, I am quite disturbed by this from SeikoEn

I agree with Livivske. Also, we must write from ukrainian point of view because there is to many different ponit of views, including russian one. To include everyone's opinion, sometimes it would no longer make sense, it is essential that we stick to facts and sources, primary Ukrainian sources because page is about Ukrainiansand their tragedy . There is no POV here, I believe Voyevoda understands that. Thanks!

That to me is the sign that you may have a problem on your hands, in that WP:ADVOCACY is going on in the article. That is most definitely not allowed -- ALL views have to be afforded equal consideration.

I also do support your comments on removing qualifiers from Holodomor -- there is no need to describe it as genocide, when only a small portion of the world recognises it as such -- the term itself is already heavily laden with POV, there is no need to destroy any notion of WP:NPOV any further.

You might be better off requesting an WP:RFC for assistance from uninvolved, third-parties if you still have any concerns. I'm sorry that this is probably not the answer you were hoping for; I have no desire to get involved with yet more editors with rabid nationalistic tendencies as is apparent from that talk page. Keep plodding along and try to find a solution amongst yourselves is all I can say. Russavia Let's dialogue 16:09, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bitchipedia

To anyone who is interested, the photos above have been called "crappy" over at Wikipedia Review by a bitchipedian (Archived link). To them, I say, who the f' cares what you think? Or is it that you simply have nothing better to do than denigrate everything I do on this project. Or perhaps you are just threatened by the very presence of myself on this project. But, hey, if you really think that way, why is it that you don't have the balls to say so onwiki, instead you have to rant about myself on a non-WP website? I guess it's just a sign of utter immaturity and insecurity about oneself.

But what makes it even worse, is that you are publicly denigrating the work of some of the 130+ aviation photographers whom I have contacted, and who have kindly made available their photos for use on the project. Such comments are reprehensible, and make me question what is trying to be achieved by that editor. Unbeknownst to them, I am trying to "recruit" new editors from amongst these photographers, and aviation enthusiasts, and the last thing we need is for totally moronic and denigrating comments like that being made in a public forum. The comments don't denigrate me, but denigrate other contributors to this project.

So please, stop and give yourself a big pat on the back. <begin sarcasm> You are an absolute legend, and we should be holding you up as a shining light of what we look for in editors on this project.</end sarcasm>

Perhaps WR should rename itself to Bitchipedia, after all that's all the site is good for. Russavia Let's dialogue 05:37, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • No, mate, it's this site that deserves the title. WR is a breath of fresh air compared to 'pedia. The only consolation is that russky-pedia is even worse. Why waste your own time here? NVO (talk) 08:25, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Halloween

 Sp33dyphil has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the proceeding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!


If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message!

I'm happy to open my doors to you, while some people aren't willing to do so. Nevertheless, have a good one! --Sp33dyphil © • © 06:15, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
