User talk:Joeyness

Welcome!

Hello, Joeyness, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions, especially those to the Maxim Aleshin article.

You might like to read these pages, which helped me when I was first starting :

Wikipedia can be kind of crazy, so if you need help, don't hesitate to ask. Check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome, and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Maxim Aleshin

Do you happen to know Russian? If so, I think that it would be very helpful to add Aleshin's Russian name to the article because others will probably be more able to find information about him (albeit in Russian) for expanding the article. « D. Trebbien (talk) 02:01 2008 June 19 (UTC)

Moscow State Circus

You wrote at my talk page: In the Moscow State Circus article, there was some information included about the travelling show within the UK and I saw that you had removed it and changed it to say that it was the Permanent Circus in Russia. I can assure you that this article is for the touring circus in the UK.
As far as I believe, all information is relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeyness (talk • contribs) 21:46, 18 June 2008 (UTC) [reply]

No - this is an international encyclopaedia - the primary meaning of Moscow State Circus deals with the circus in Moscow. The article currently mentions the British circus and is referenced. Do not remove referenced material again. Have some international perspective before making an edit. Don't include trivia - note WP:NOT applies for example to lists of performers. --Matilda ^talk 23:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
