Again, welcome! Alex Bakharev 07:58, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On what article did he do this? Alex Bakharev 04:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Guess??? "Phallus" article of course.Vlad fedorov 04:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have not protected the article, I only asked for it. The reason is that you and Biophys have been edit warring. Your changes to the article are controversial, so you should discuss them on the article’s talk page and achieve consensus before reintroducing your changes. Be sure always to be civil, assume good faith and stay cool. Conversely, if you continue in your current style, you should not expect others to agree with you (or, for that matter, read your rants). —xyzzy_n 15:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Same as above, but I cannot revert to a version after protection. Discuss first, then we'll unprotect. Cbrown1023 talk 16:29, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I am not an expert on the matter. However perhaps keeping up to speed on the following articles will be good enough:Russophobia, History of Christianity in Ukraine and this fellow's contributions. It has my hands full.

Please see the talk page of the article.Ultramarine 08:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments have been made on the mediation page between you and Biophys at Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-02-10 Boris Stomakhin. Diez2 16:20, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Vlad. Kremlin.ru puts a very generous copyright statement for their pictures that certainly agree with out {{attribution}}. Unless something specifically wrong with the picture, I do not see copyright problems there. In future if you see a possible copyright violation it maybe a right thing to discuss it with the uploader but if you still disagree then just report it rather then start an edit war. Copyright is important, we do not want WMF to be sued or labelled as a pirate site.

On the other hand Kremlin.ru got hundreds of Putin's photographs that we can use. The most straight choice would be some photo of Putin in Duma (or working on legislation in his office). The choice of a KGB-picture and Anti-putsch pictures is probably intended to symbolize pro-totalitarian and anti-totalitarian tendencies or something. It makes sense but a POV of a sense. Alex Bakharev 22:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a note, I intend to contest the inclusion of kremlin.ru material on Commons; the site’s copyright statement is generous, but either too vague or outright insufficient to make their content free enough for inclusion, which would also require the permission to make derivative works and should not be limited to specific kinds of organisations or media. On enwiki, we could still use material where a fair use claim can be made (but not just to show what Putin looks like…). If either of you has better information on those images’ copyright status than what can be found in [1] or would like to get permission for specific images, I’d like to know. —xyzzy_n 23:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fyi, I’ve started a deletion discussion at commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Kremlin.ru. If the template on Commons is deleted, I will also nominate {{Kremlin.ru}} for deletion. —xyzzy_n 21:11, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,Vlad.Check out 'Category:Victims of Russian political repressions'.I'm sure you'll have a laugh (I know I did).What do you think of it?Dimts 08:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for informing me about the case with the article about internet trolls. ellol 11:11, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is hopefully not a case of canvasing, I hope. CPTGbr 18:15, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. See the talk page of ellol, where I have posted my message. But you are certainly trying to canvass your rigged votes by contacting Biophys, Ilgiz, Colchicum.Vlad fedorov 03:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The comment on the FSS page was not incivil, though the comment on the deletion page was mildly so. Please stop taking every comment to be a personal attack or incivility against you. ⇒ SWATJester ^{On Belay!} 17:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No sweat. Note that I agree fully with what Alex said about attempting cooperation. By the way, you will have to re-edit your comment about Ilgiz. It is my belief that what he wrote, falls under the main heading, so the phrase 'This is a summary written by users who are concerned by this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.' applies. You will have to expand your answer under "Response", or reply on the talk page. It does not belong where it is now. Take care and keep up the good work.--Pan Gerwazy 15:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and I also noticed the following passage in your response: "who has cited the following source: Land of the warlords, by Nick Paton Walsh, Guardian Unlimited as evidencing that Said-Magomed Kakiev and Said-Magomed Kakiev are Chechen GRU agents." I suppose one of these Kakiev mentionings must be Sulim Yamadadayev. Kakiev (an article that I expended and omproved) was the reason why I followed your discussion with Biophys a bit, by the way (but I noticed your RFC only when I went to comfort Kazakhpol on his RFC - funny really). --Pan Gerwazy 12:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vlad, you have deleted my first vandalism warining. This is second one. You continue deleting well sourced texts in articles Nikolai Koltsov, Active measures, and Persecution of political bloggers. I will have to report this as vandalism. Please, stop doing this.Biophys 18:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
