Userbox Public Transit[edit]

According to Wikipedia:The German solution, here’s a a tip for you: {{User:Olve/Userboxes/Public transport}} (in lieu of the blanked template:User Public Transit). -- Olve 22:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not get the whole thing. It's easier just to erase the "political" boxes, and I am going to do that. - Slavik IVANOV 18:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Hi welcome.. Thanks for being involved in Ossetic language.. Are you Ossetic yourself? I would double check everything the user barefact says since I have posted actual material from abaev here and it contradicts barefacts theory. Also you might want to read this one too: [1]. You might have to install the font here first: [2]. Also do a search for Ossetic and you will find some information. Would you also have the 1949 source work of Abaev? As you know Yaphetic was in 1949 a state enforced theory and..--alidoostzadeh 05:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ethically I am Russian, but I come from the Republic of North Ossetia Alania and I've interested for many years about the language. Yes, I have the 1949 work (if you speak about the Ossetic grammar) both printed and scanned. - Slavik IVANOV 08:29, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

I appreciate to work with each other and more participants in WP Ossetia. I would be gratefull if you could take part in this voting page:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ossetia/Voting.

m:Удмурт диалектъёс[edit]

Not speaking Udmurt, I have no idea what that says (another languge to learn, sigh...) but I notice that you and User:Denis Sacharnych have both commented on the talkpage. That is why I bring it to your attention that on m:Meta:Requests for deletion the page is up for deletion. I think they could use some input as to what the page is as well as to if it is worth keeping or not. ~Kylu (u|t) 21:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. That means just dialects of Udmurt and is a part of test wikipedia in Udmurt. It really has no reason to exist. - Slavik IVANOV 23:11, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Grabowski Prize[edit]

The article Grabowski Prize has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for references failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. This included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Grabowski Prize – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Wikipedia Stories Project[edit]

Привет!

Меня зовут Виктор, и я рассказчик с Wikimedia Foundation, некоммерческая организация, которая поддерживает Википедию. Я хроник вдохновляющих историй сообщества Википедии по всему миру, в том числе и читателей, редакторов и доноров. Истории совершенно необходимы для любой некоммерческой органицации, чтобы убедить людей поддержывать наш проект, и мы знаем, что у людей, которые строют и используют Википедии есть много, что рассказать!

Я ищу вдохновляющие страницы пользователей, и интересных историй о том, как Википедия влияют на жизнь людей. Я задавал вопросы вроде "Как Википедия изменила Вашу жизнь?", "Какая самая интересная история у Вас есть о Википедии?" и "Википедия ли когда-нибудь Вас удивило?"

В прошлом году мы использовали ежегодный сбор средств как способ показать миру, кто на самом деле пишет Википедия. Мы показывали редакторов из Бразилии, Украины, Аргентины, Саудовской Аравии, Кении, Индии, США и Англии. Этот метод имел огромный успех, в результате чего у нас была наиболее финансово успешная кампании по сбору средств в историе организации. Кроме того, мы остались верны духу Википедии, просвещение общественности, что это бесплатно ТОП-5 Сайт создан добровольцами, как Ви и я.

В этом году мы хотим выделить еще редакторов Википедии на русском языке, так что я нахожусь в процессе планирования поездки в Россию и интервью с редакторами.

Если Википедия положительно повлеяла на Вас или на кого-то из Ваших знакомых, или у Вас есть что-то интересное сказать о Википедии, я бы очень хотел услышать об этом!

Пожалуйста, дайте мне знать, если Ви бы хотели участвовать в проекте Истории Википедии, или если вы знаете кого-то еще, с кем я должен поговорить.

Конечно, если у Вас есть какие-либо вопросы или сомнения, пожалуйста, обращайтесь! Я отвечу, как только смогу. Извините за плохой перевод этого письма, я использую Google-перевод. Я надеюсь, что заставляет вас смеяться :)

Спасибо за Ваше время,

Victor Grigas

Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I'm scouring user pages looking for inspiring, motivating and interesting stories of how Wikipedia has affected the lives of people. I'm asking questions like "How has Wikipedia changed your life?", "What's the most interesting story you have about Wikipedia?" and "Has Wikipedia ever surprised you?"

Last year, we used the annual fundraiser as a way to show the world who it is who actually writes Wikipedia. We featured editors from Brazil, Ukraine, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, India, United States and England. This campaign was a huge success, resulting in the most financially successful fundraising campaign ever. It was also a campaign that stayed true to the spirit of Wikipedia, educating the public that this free top-5 website is created by volunteers like you and I.

This year we want to highlight more Russian-language Wikipedia editors, so I am in the process of planning a trip to Russia to interview editors.

If you or someone you know (or have heard about) has been positively affected by Wikipedia, or have something interesting to say about Wikipedia I'd very much like to hear about it!

Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know someone else with whom I should speak.

Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I will answer as soon as I can. I apologize for any poor translation of this letter, I am using Google-translate. I hope it makes you laugh :)

Thank you for your time,

Victor Grigas

Ossetia Project[edit]

Hi! Are you a member of Ossetia Project? Why is the capital of North Ossetia called Buro? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladikavkaz --Henry Cool (talk) 11:01, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is a name of the city used by the Ingush population to the east (sometimes in Russian texts too). It causes much edit wars in ru.wiki too, I guess. Since the Ingush are one of the notable minorities in North Ossetia, I tend to not involve myself into Buro reversing. If the en.wiki policy is to mention the official names only, then you need to leave only the Russian and the Ossetic names. [Also note that at the moment the Ingush name is misplaced between the Ossetic and its translation, „Dzaug's settlement“] Amikeco (talk) 18:34, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

About some articles about Ossetia[edit]

Now that you are a member of the WikiProject Ossetia, and is a proficient Ossetic speaker, may you spend time expanding Ossetian literature, Yakov Khozijev, Arsen Kotsoyev, Seka Gadiyev and Elbazduko Britayev? None of them is unimportant and detailed enough, yet I don't understand Russian and Ossetic at all.--RekishiEJ (talk) 17:14, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I'll try to. Some of them wouldn't have survived in other Wikipedia editions as extremely short, like the one about Khoziev (one line). Amikeco (talk) 19:44, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
