Dear colleague, I want to thank you for your nice articles on Russian personalities. You are interested in Russian liberalism, as far as I can see. I started articles on Kavelin, Chicherin, Milyukov, Mirsky, etc but many of these still need sections on their views. What is even more disconcerting, we still don't have the article on Pyotr Struve. --Ghirlandajo 23:51, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. WikiThanks. Ahasuerus, let me compliment you for your work on Pyotr Struve. The article is much nicer now, thanks. I believe your competence and editing style are true assets to this project which frequenly suffers from unrestrained nationalism and lack of critical judgment.--Ghirlandajo 21:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I, Ghirlandajo, hereby award you this Epic Barnstar for your fine biographies of political philosophers. Keep it up!
Hi, can you take a look at this article? It is poorly written and definitely needs an expertise of a NPOV editor. Not so much knowledge as a NPOV editing. TIA, Ghirlandajo 16:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The article as it exists now is rather poorly organized, has random PoV insertions and is missing a number of key facts. I'll add it to my hit list, thanks! :) Ahasuerus 18:50, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
For your excellent work on that article, say cheers to Andrew Levine for his honesty! Thanks again, Wikipedia needs mor elike you! εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 19:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Russian Revolution is a disambiguation page. Dab pages have their own style guideline, which includes not using excessive wikilinks, and keeping descriptions to a minimum. I have reverted your edit to Russian Revolution.--Commander Keane 22:55, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Alex Bakharev[edit]
Take a look. It seems there that the raging russophobia of some is the only reason of the attempts to derail the candidacy of one of the most worthy people for the job. His unquestionably high ethics and decensy are so clear even from how he handles the criticism and shameless attacks at his own RfAdm even for those who don't know him from his contributions to Wikipedia! --Irpen 20:09, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Matvei Muranov, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.
Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Dmitri Shepilov, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.
I believe WP:DYK has its merits. As my command of English is limited, DYKing a page attracts scores of native speakers who proofread the article. In other cases, the result may be beneficial too. --Ghirla-трёп- 10:11, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, Ahasuerus! Thanx for expanding my stubs on Shepilov and Bryukhanov! We still have lots of Soviet politicians missing from Wikipedia, so there's still stuff to do :). Keep up the good work! KNewman 07:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Nikolai Bryukhanov, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.
Fake "initials" which didn't stand for anything weren't uncommon among Russian revolutionaries. Many of them used literally dozens of pennames and pseudonyms during their lifetimes, so it wasn't a big deal. Cf. "N. Lenin" or "L. Martov". Ahasuerus 02:23, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the confirmation, Ahasuerus; I'll add a sentence/clause near the beginning of the article mentioning this for the sake of folk like myself who weren't sure. Regards, David Kernow 16:47, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good job rewriting the Kerensky/Nikiforova/etc articles :) I took another shot at Kerensky, but it still needs a lot of work, especially the section re: 1917. Ahasuerus 05:02, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your encouragement, Ahasuerus; I agree that Kerensky and many of the other Russian Revolution articles need attention. I've added a few to my to-do-if-I-ever-reach-it list (e.g. Israel Helphand, Nestor Makhno) but I'm aware at the same time that my knowledge is limited and probably too one-dimensional. If we can prompt any other folk watching these pages, however, that would be a result. Best wishes, David 17:41, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, Waugh published at least one book in 1861. The Library of Congress lists it as: Instructions for topographical surveying, Roorkee, Printed at the Thomason college press, 1861, 1 p.l., 106 p. illus., 2 pl., diagrs. (2 fold.) 25 cm. Ahasuerus 13:47, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've added this to the bibliography. Thanks for unearthing it! Regards, David Kernow 13:04, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you dig up the collier article, let me know. I cringed when I saw the new message alert, with me it is often bad news, but I am glad it was a message from you.Travb 04:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please dont ignore this. I need some help here.Travb 01:03, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
thanks, I am taking of everyone before World War 2, to make the article more concise, and less likely for deletion, I think some hard core reaganites got mad at my comments.Travb
I know that you are busy but... Can you believe it, WP still has no article about this guy. Just in case you might wish to eliminate this red link. --Ghirla-трёп- 15:47, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There's a storm in a teacup in progress over here about Vance and the VIE, etc. We may have to expect some blanking and vandalism. Peter1968 15:39, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the help, ol' rasseffer that you are. I don't remember what prompted me to start the article, but I wanted to do it right for such a great guy (if that's not a PoV violation).Orange Mike 17:39, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Here's what looks like another addition to your lengthy to-do list. When revising the new entry on Marina Semenova, I noticed that WP lacks article about her husband, Lev Karakhan, although even much shorter Britannica has separate entry about Karakhan Manifesto. --Ghirla-трёп- 12:56, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for creating this! I've been meaning to get to it but keep finding more to do on the Ace Books article. I do have a small amount of extra detail from an obit Wollheim wrote in Nebula Award Stories 4, and from a website; I'll update it when I can. Thanks! Mike Christie 01:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi -- re the over-linking; I didn't realize that was the style to use. I'll go through and cut some links out. I'll leave in the first link, plus I'd think it would be worth leaving in a link that's the first link in a section where that name hasn't been mentioned in the previous section. Does the stricture apply only to names? Or should "science fiction" be linked only once or twice in the article? Thanks for the feedback, by the way. Mike Christie 02:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! Haven't a clue what a Portal is, but I stumbled over yours resurrecting Wikipedia:WikiProject Fictional series for, well, alternate history, which means we're clones separated at birth, fellow travelers on a star ship, or someone with similar interests. Can use some help getting the word out. Left notices at WPP:NovelsTalk and WPP:BooksTalk, and I don't know exactly how those relate to your 'Portal', but the boilerplate message is User:Fabartus/spam ({{User:Fabartus/spam}}), which I obviously 'subst:'ed' on the talks. If you can browse around 1632 series, t'would welcome some thoughts. Things aren't too well integrated right now, but at least things look presentable and make a stab at informing the customer! Gotta get to RL. // FrankB 22:14, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In less than a minute I'll be saving a repsonse to you on my Talk. FrankB 18:28, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The footnote at Propaganda of the deed already is there :-) But that article could use a ton of additional footnotes for all the other assassination attempts mentioned. Lupo 07:40, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
File:1953 S Novym Godom.jpgHappy New Year! (Ukrainian: З Новим Роком!, Russian: С Новым Годом!). I wish you in 2007 to be spared of the real life troubles so that you will continue to care about Wikipedia. We will all make it a better encyclopedia! I also wish things here run smoothly enough to have our involvement in Wikipedia space at minimum, so that we can spend more time at Main. --Irpen
I have nominated Nina Nevelson, an article you created, for deletion.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
