Hello, Ghirlandajo! Thought you might be interested in the Russian wikipedians' notice board. Come check it out! KNewman 19:27, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
Quite a coup! Congratulations! --Wetman 17:40, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I just came across this image:Lidia matisse.jpg. I am not familiar with Soviet Union's laws, but I know Matisse lived mainly in France, and his works could be protected by French copyright law in France and other Berne Convention parties. Do you happen to know where the work is first published? Tomos 12:02, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I cannot be sure where the portrait was published, so I changed {sovietpd} to {PD-old-50}. In my jurisdiction (I live in Russia) Matisse's work passed to the public domain on the 50th anniversary of his death. --Ghirlandajo 13:54, 20 Dec 2004 (GMT)
Thanks for the great old picture additions to the article - wonderful! Leonard G. 00:32, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
It was a good idea to move the descriptive caption to the image page. I was surprized though to see that you have restored the original caption that mentioned "twin towers." Skiperson 08:01, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
your "russophobic hysteria"
What are your objectives at Wikipedia? Are you contributing knowledge or infiltrating Russian imperial propaganda? Try to stay more polite and avoid such statements. --rydel 11:40, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I don't mind if you correct my language/grammer, or if you move various article parts to better articles. However, simply reverting/deleting changes because *you* think they are not pretty is not a creative action. Wiki goal is not to be a beautiful novel, but an encyclopedia. Nice language is nice, but it is the information part that is essential. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:45, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I believe your listing of Emax as a vandal is improper. He is really not a vandal but rather someone who pushes his own agenda. That's different from vandalism. You may want to take a look at Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution for gudance on how to deal with such problems. If he is really violating the WP:3RR, he will likely loose the case. --Gene s 08:24, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi Ghirlandajo,
I've just closed the Featured Pictures nomination for Prokudin-Gorskii's Black Sea in 1915. The concensus was a bit borderline, so I defaulted to not promoting — which is a bit disappointing.
I rather thought the concerns over a slightly sloping horizon were somewhat besides the point. However, since I got the impression that most of the support votes were positive due to its being interesting early colour photography, whilst most of the oppose votes were worried about the horizon, I was wondering whether there was a different Prokudin-Gorskii colour photograph that could be nominated (preferably one with strong colours but no obvious horizon... :) -- Solipsist 12:09, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Can you tell me for which Russian places we should use this category? Does it depend on population? If so - tell me border between towns and cities, because in Russia cites and towns are not divided. Thank you. MaxiMaxiMax 07:14, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC) <...>
Um, in the article itself, as well as on your user page, you used the 's' form of the first name (which gets google hits), but the article is titled with a 'z' (which gets zero hits). Is there any particular reason the article shouldn't be moved to the 's' form? (I'd get input from my Russian roommate, but she won't be back from work for at least 6-7 hours). Thanks.

Great additions! Thank you! -- Chris 73 Talk 10:40, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
Let's bring an arbitration case against Emax. If you agree to support my move to file charges against him, we should do it tomorrow. --Gene s 15:06, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Are you actually disputing the article on Anti-Polonism? I'm asking because I can't find any comments from you, neither in the edit history, nor in the talk page. Could you explain what is it that you find NPOV on the talk page? Alternatively we could simply erase the NPOV tag. Halibutt 09:32, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
That's a spectacular illustration you've added. I hope you won't be cross that I shifted it upwards and gave some specific text to show how conservative taste could employ some hints of neoclassical features within a wholly Rococo setting in the 1770s. This is an Orlov interior, so I added it at Gatchina to contrast with Paul's neoclassic gallery. (Old Rinaldi died in 1794.) --Wetman 09:08, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Надо всё-таки подойти к консенсусу по статье Russification (ответҗте на User talk:Untifler)/ Заранее спасибо. --Untifler 19:11, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
