Hello Renata, I am a newer user to Wikipedia but I have contributed several strong pages regarding the Los Angeles underground hip hop movement. There is a major film that has been made about this music collective called THIS IS THE LIFE. I researched and wrote a page about it that you deleted as spam. Perhaps it was so well written that you thought it was a press release or something? LOL. I just can't imagine why it was deleted as spam. I took a lot of time with it. Can you pls revisit this deletion? And if it is still not to your liking, please tell me what I can do to fix it properly? Thank you kindly, MarieMaye —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariemaye (talk • contribs) 18:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello there. I've spent less than two weeks in Vilnius, and that was over two years ago, but that experience was so happy that I was most interested by what you write on your user page. Since I sometime long for the authority of the EB, a reference source that doesn't always get things right but at least is safe from vandals and twits, I feel like sticking up for them. Furthermore, I'm tired of editing Wikipedia and it's a novelty to edit EB instead. So here goes.
So I think you've been a bit harsh. Still, a lot of your shots hit home and EB should fix the problems fast.
Ah, you've made me want to spend another happy half hour gazing at this excellent book. -- Hoary (talk) 16:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Also it looks like the copy that was uploaded was pre-1990. I suspect EB is so vast that it is not subject to regular updates; it is updated more often in print but I suspect they are not as assiduous at editing as you expect them to be. Nevertheless, well done for highlighting how print media - including Wikipedia - are often at odds with the facts as people know them to be. Please don't stop highlighting these discrepancies, it is a job which I have become expert at and have in the past assisted public figures to clarify/update/edit their own Wiki articles - it is one of the pitfalls we run into because print media and other sources are often taken to be concrete fact whereas a lot can depend on the knowledge of the original author, political sensitivities and even typos in books. Good luck in your research :). Lstanley1979 (talk) 18:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Nothing is wrong with maps thay are good but I don't think it is good idea to place them instead images.

An editor has nominated Isara, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Isara and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 23:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

@ Renata, the main mouth of river Vistula is very young.

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).
Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
You're also invited to subscribe to the public Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates.

Hi Renata, I'm fresh to Wikipedia, but my edits are far from being wrong. I tried to contact you earlier, but I couldn't find any private messaging system on the site. It is a disputable subject whether Lithuania is a part of eastern or northern Europe. The source you provided (UN Clasification) is not the only and final verdict on the subject. For example, according to the CIA Factbook, it belongs to Eastern Europe -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Europe_colour_coded.svg My edit allowed different viewpoints on the subject, as it is a very disputable manner, and should not be described in such a cathergorical manner as in your entry. In fact, I am quite sure, that most of the world perceive Lithuania as located in Eastern, not northern Europe. This is why I propose a change in article, which provides the information that doesn't sound so final!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Timeline of World War II (1939), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Timeline of World War II. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Just a couple of words about other forces operating in Latvia: first, on May 22 Baltische Landeswehr seized Riga from the Bolsheviks and in the beginning of June Estonian units reached Jekabpils actually meeting the Poles nearby while on patrol. Maybe these events can be somehow sketched on the map to add some perspective showing how the Bolsheviks were squeezed out from the Baltics, if you think they're notable enough here.

Hi - I noticed this question. These location map templates are used by Template:Location map to create composite images of the base map with a (labeled) locater dot, usually indicating the position of a city. How it works is the base image and the latitude and longitude of the top, bottom, left, and right edges of this image are specified in the place-specific location map template (e.g. Template:Location map Lithuania), and then when Template:Location map is used it is provided with the latitude and longitude of a place (and generates HTML using fancy CSS stuff to create the appropriate composite image, using the longitude and latitude numbers for the place and the edges of the map). So, when replacing an image you also have to change the top/bottom/right/left latitude and longitude numbers to match the new image (and the image has to be an equirectangular projection - i.e. if you draw the latitude and longitude lines on the map they're straight horizontal and vertical lines, in particular the longitude lines are not curved).
I'm not sure it matters, but the replacement image you want to use is kind of large (4MB). I think an svg version of this would be way smaller. You might ask User:Obersachse about this. He was the original creator of Template:Location map Lithuania. Another possibility is asking whether the map size matters at Template talk:Location map. -- Rick Block (talk) 17:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Renata, I commented that I found Irpen's edits unproductive, supporting the opening and rehashing of old issues long since discussed and settled, and running counter to his other (recent) more productive and conciliatory edits, which I have commented I welcomed. I prefer to leave my comments on user pages where they are public. I have nothing to hide. If Irpen wishes to remove my comments, it is his talk page and his prerogative. It is not yours.

P.S. The issue of republic or not and what was occupied by whom was argued and settled a long time ago.

I think I finally understand your argument: that Suvalkai Region (Suwałki Region) is a small part of Sudovia/Suwalszczyzna, limited to the city of Suwałki (while the larger regions has several other major towns and cities, such as Augustów, Sejny and Mariampole), right? If this is the case, I can understand why the merger may not be preferable; however: 1) references need to be provided to show that a term, Suvalkai Region, is indeed used and has a relatively well defined area smaller' than Sudovia (from what I read it appears that at least some sources use Suwalkai/Suwałki Region interchangingly with Sudovia/Suwalszczyzna) and 2) as currently written, Suvalkai Region makes no such assertion other then in the lead; the everything but one sentence is a poor version of the history of the Sudovia. I have expanded Sudovia and it has all information that exist in the Suvalkai Region; the article would honestly look better if we had removed all but the first one or two sentences of lead - it would be less confusing then. Still, it needs to be demonstrated that it is a notable, separate entity (there are regions around each major town and such, it does not mean that they are all notable). PS. I think it is also clear that if (and that's a big IF) Suvalkai Region is notable, it should be moved to the much more popular name, Suwałki Region (or is this again something different...?). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
PS. I expanded Suwałki Governorate a little, and added the seats of the counties, but the two beginning with W seem to be little known villages - I cannot determine their Lithuanian (presumably) name. If you could correct this, it would be great (I am sure somebody will accuse me of polonization or such if they remain as they are...).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps I am confused, but are you suggesting redirecting Suvalkija to Sudovians? Why not redirect it to Suwałki Region, which is where we should move the current Sudovia article too (with Sudovia being redirected to Sudovians)? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:30, 22 April 2008 (UTC) PS. If you have a high res map of Suwalki Governorate, can you upload it to Wiki? We are missing most of the maps of those entities and this makes it really confusing to deal with them.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Another thought: have you seen a map (or a source), even in Lithuanian, that would clearly differentiate between Suvalkai Region and Suwalszczyzna (or whatever the appopriate names of those two concepts are, I am sure you know what I mean)?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 02:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the maps, they certainly clarify the issue. I wasn't able to find any Polish map of "Suwalszczyzna" other then the one already in article (without clearly defined borders). I totally agree w/ regards to total mess in naming. Due to scarsity of sources and refs, I still think one article is preferable. We can have a heading about Suvalkija, The Ethnoographical Region of Lithuania, where we can discuss that it's the northern part and hopefully include a map showing the border (it would be interesting, however, to see if there are interwar maps of this, as it is possible the modern definition of Suvalkija is not the same as used in the interwar period). Again, I will not object to splitting Suvalkija once the section grows large enough (beyond stub and with refs) to justify a separate existence.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Labas, turi omenyje pasidalinti nuotraukomis? jei taip - tai be abejo; dalinuosi. jei ne - tuomet apie kokius šaltinius kalbi? jei teksto, tai tekstas sumestas remiantis šiais šaltiniais: ruošiamos spaudai Vytauto Jogėlos, Elmanto Meilaus ir Virgilijaus Pugačiausko knygos rankraščiu Lukiškės: nuo priemiesčio iki centro ir Evaldo Zilinsko Lukiškių aikštės 2004 m. urbanistinių ir paveldosauginių tyrimų moksline ataskaita bei Kęstučio Katalyno 1992 ir 2004 m.

Could you please review Template:Universities in Lithuania, and fix if it is needed. Thank you in advance.--Lokyz (talk) 18:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Please: this is a very short and simply written treaty (barely two pages). You can quickly read it and if you find anything that indicates the Vilnius was ceded, please, show it to me. This errors seems to have originated with, ummm, what's the better word... untruth of Lithuanian propaganda in the interwar period and indeed, some English language publications, which do not go into any detail and do not quote their sources, repeat this claim. Łossowski goes into details and shows it was false, and again - this is a simple treaty which does not sais anything about Vilnius. I could accept Novickas version, if we add a note that the "Vilnius was ceded" version is erroneus (per Łossowski, if you want to cite the rationale for the claim, but again - please read the treaty). PS. Please note this was discussed on talk some time ago, so my reverts are not unexplained.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 03:06, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Just thought I'd mention, the talk page still needs to be moved over to the new title. Narson (talk) 09:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, I still have this infobox on my to-do list, although it is not a priority. If ((Infobox Former Subdivision)) is working out for now, that's great, but I suspect that down the road it will no longer be sufficient as there are going to be some very particular specifics that generic infobox would be unable to handle. In any case, if you have any ideas, drop me a line. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Renata - responding to your message here, but I'll put it on my talk page, too. The page with a listing of the backlog of POV tags needing attention is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:NPOV_disputes Midway down the top paragraph is a link to the cleanup page with more thoughts and guidance on what is needed. For myself, I've been more than a little bugged by some who tag articles for the wrong reasons or petulance - "I disagree or the topic is unpleasant, so I'll just tag it." Anyway, I've been doing it, I hope, sentitively. Many pages I've encountered have editors asking on the discussion page, "Does anybody know anything about a POV dispute?, what's that tag about?" meaning it wasn't the editors of the page who put it to begin with, and they have no knowlege of any issues. Well, a bit of a rant, maybe. I've been finding the service of cleanup is much needed - many tags are long forgotten, but people either won't or don't know how to remove them. Thanks Jjdon (talk) 16:52, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, Renata, I remember that article, and it's one I thought carefully about. The point is, as is said on the POV dispute page, that people will simply put them back if they have cause. The real thing is that often the old tags were placed for reasons that don't mean anything anymore. New tags = new reasons. Often there is no apparent reason why they were added at all. And there are quite a few articles that I left the tags alone, or commented to editors that they might remove them, as they seemed to have consensus. The whole point is consensus, and much of tag cleanup is drive-by - "I don't like it, so I'll tag it." That's not editing, that's graffiti. As for your desire to retag the Prussians - you'll get no argument from me. I'm not the tag police, just the cleanup crew, though in my messages I'm trying to get folks to pay attention to why tags are there, too.Jjdon (talk) 18:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
I'll add something more about this, too. In the beginning of my starting this effort, some of the tags were from 2006. As I'm progressing into more recent times, it's not always so easy to do. I leave more and more of them alone as I get more current, even though I often think the reasoning is pedantic at best - but that's just me.Jjdon (talk) 19:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the link - could you check what I added there?
Re "was" - I thought about that; it was the first such in the Baltic Region at the time, but there may be other ones out there now; can't tell without a fair amount of research. So the best thing seemed to be to use the past tense. And if it closed - if you could clarify that there? - then it would have to be in the past tense. Novickas (talk) 20:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm concerned that someone will invoke "WP is not a Crystal Ball", but until then, will say "is" (ohh no, it depends on the definition of what 'is' is!) Thx again, Novickas (talk) 22:01, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I wondered if you could inform me what ideological agenda lies behind some of the edits to Black Ruthenia. At first I thought it was a Belarusian nationalist thing, trying to turn Novgorodok into some kind of medieval predecessor to Belarus (though I thought Polotsk had that function), but then there is the Polonization of eastern Slavic and Lithuanian Baltic names happening in the article too. So if you could shed some light on it I'd be grateful. All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 17:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Do you know if there is an equivalent to Image:Nationalities in Second Polish Republic ca. 1931.png for Lithuania? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I think this needs to be corrected - details here. Any ideas? Cheers.--Lokyz (talk) 17:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Since User:Renata has reappeared it may be worth thinking about changeing your sig.Geni 16:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
