My work on Russian lit

Thank you for noticing.--I NEVER CRY 17:38, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can find images, make infoboxes and add tags and categories to any articles you translate.--I NEVER CRY 19:03, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Полярная звезда

Here's the infobox for Полярная звезда. You can copy and paste it into the eventual article.--I NEVER CRY 21:03, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Leskov

From what I've found, the phrase means something like "Extinguish it", which doesn't express a solid singular idea in English; but titles like "An Extinguished Affair" or "A Finished Affair" are clumsy and ambiguous in English as well. "It's Finished" or "Finish it" would be a bit better because they're striking, but what is "it"? The word affair can mean a love affair, or something casual like business affairs. I don't know what Leskov's story is about, so I'm at a complete disadvantage. I help Evermore because I enjoy it, and because some of his material hasn't been translated into English before, but now and then I run into things that I end up having to gloss over. If I had the same knowledge of Russian that he has of English we'd be much better off.

Good to see you.--INeverCry 08:24, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see you too! I would associate «погасшее» with lamps, candles, lights, flames-- so I agree it is a difficult phrase to translate. Sorry I never made much of an effort with those articles about journals. I didn't have much time, and you and Evermore are setting such a high standard for Russian literature articles, that my articles wouldn't compare. Lirika filosofskaya (talk) 15:58, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you could do some great work if you had the time.--INeverCry 03:09, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I like Bryusov, so this was an easy article for me.--INeverCry 01:23, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Embezzle"? You sure that's the word you intend it to be? Lirika filosofskaya (talk) 23:23, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OMG, sorry, I've intended to use "embellish"... %) GreyHood ^Talk 00:09, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

X-Mas

The Vampire

Thanks for your comment on the afd page. You check in here so rarely that it's always a pleasant surprise to see something from you. Evermore and I continue to plod on... Aleksey Pisemsky is our newest finished product. INeverCry 23:50, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While I've been keeping busy offline, I do follow a lot of what goes on on Wikipedia, rarely participating in my own modest way. I'd do more, but I get dismayed. I think you and Evermore are doing fantastic work though. Сол-раз (talk) 00:03, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's funny, I have the opposite problem; I get dismayed whenever I try to stop editing. It's an addiction, but since it's not harmful to my body or wallet, as so many other addictions are, I continue to indulge it... not that I have much choice. ;) INeverCry 00:32, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I mean it when I say that what you're doing is important. Keep it up and I'll keep checking back in to read your articles. Сол-раз (talk) 01:23, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I will. I wonder if you've seen my article George Crabbe? If you ever get a chance, I'd love to know your opinion of the "Critical views" section I put together. This article is easily the best work I've done on my own so far. INeverCry 01:34, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I hadn't seen that article before. It's excellent! why don't you make it a Wikipedia:Featured article? Сол-раз (talk) 01:53, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GAN would be the first step in that direction, but an experienced editor I asked told me the old sources I use for the article could end up being called into question. I'm waiting till I have some extra $ so I can order a copy of the newest 2004 bio of Crabbe, so that I can switch out some of the reffing, and maybe expand it all just a bit. As for the FA you mention, that whole process is quite daunting and VERY intensive. INeverCry 02:09, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the note. You're one of the few people I'll miss. My reasons for leaving aren't really physical. See User talk:Antiquary#Goodbye. (ʎɹɔɹǝʌǝuı) 71.94.13.244 (talk) 23:07, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Babylon (program)

Can you explain me WHY you keep removing every "negative" objective fact about the Babylon program ? Are you some of their employees paid to watch for the article to remain an advertising ? Do you really think that's the way Wikipedia work ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.178.244.165 (talk) 10:44, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you adding negative info? No, I am not an employee of that company. Сол-раз (talk) 16:41, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Anton Pavlovich

I'm glad to see that you're getting a bit more involved here. After looking at those French aricles, I can't say I'm impressed. It looks like quantity rather than quality. Those are all stubs, hardly worth the trouble of translating. I think you'd be better off writing articles on his works from scratch, using English sources, or maybe translating the ones on ru.wiki. I think you could do Chekhov's works alot more justice on your own than the French seem to have been able to do. You should be able to find material on google books, and any library worth it's salt should have atleast a few Chekhov bios and maybe Terras's History of Russian Literature or something critical like that.

As for me, I have so much to do with Evermore that Chekhov is far in the future. At some point, I'd like to do an article on his non-fiction tomb Sakhalin Island, his novel The Shooting Party, and a few of his stories such as "Peasants" and "In the Cart". Aside from helping Evvy, (I have Shchedrin and N. Uspensky to clean up, and he's started work on Gleb Uspensky and A. Ostrovsky), I have vague ideas of working on Denis Fonvizin and his Minor, and some of Gogol, Pushkin, and maybe Odoyevsky, Marlinsky, and Veltman. I'd also like to expand Herzen's novel, which I did a little start/stub on a while back, not to mention articles for Pisemsky's One Thousand Souls, and Shchedrin's The Golovlyov Family. I'll be doing these in between my occasional retirement meltdowns. ;) INeverCry 00:21, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just wish you had some better raw material to work with. I'm sure they'll come out ok though, so good luck with them. In regard to my plans, I'm in no hurry, as I either have all the time in the world, or not, and so it's best to just do my thing and hope for the best. Evvy will probably beat me to half the things I mentioned anyways. Also, If you've never seen Evermore's accomplishments on ru.wiki, take a look at this: ru:Участник:Evermore/Статьи. His works there are truly monumental, with 7 Featured Articles and 9 Good Articles, etc, etc. INeverCry 00:47, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you need those French stubs. You could do better articles all on your own. :) INeverCry 01:09, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
