Portal talk:Lithuania/Guest book

H Padleckas - a member of both the English and Lithuanian Wikipedias by identical User names. This portal mentioned the Geographical Center of Europe. I originally wrote an article which I called Geographical Center of Europe for the English Wikipedia stating that the center was in Lithuania and I wrote the equivalent article lt:Europos Geografinis Centras for the Lithuanian Wikipedia. In the photo present in both English and Lithuanian articles, the woman standing near the center is my mother. (Pictures were changed.) Last time I looked, the Lithuanian article was still there. Since I originally wrote it, "my" English article has been merged with Geographic Centre of Europe, which mentions several other candidate locations for the center. I have uploaded into WikiCommons a number of photos taken in Lithuania by my relatives.

Sometimes, I like making pictures. In addition to numerous other pictures (mentioned on my English Wikipedia Talk page archives), I did a couple map translations as follows: I took the English map of Russia from the English Wikipedia and translated the names into Lithuanian where you can now see it, lt:Vaizdas:Rusijos zemelapis.PNG, in the Lithuanian Wikipedia article lt:Rusijos geografija. I also took the Lithuanian map of the Curonian Lagoon and Spit and translated into English, where you can now see it in the Curonian Spit and Curonian Lagoon articles, where I also made a few contributing edits. I made the diagrams or illustrations in the Lithuanian Wikipedia articles lt:Koordinaciu sistema, lt:Kristalas, lt:Distiliacija, lt:Laboratoriniai indai, lt:Sankryža, and several of the pictures in lt:Chemija. I also made the illustrations lt:Vaizdas:Polimerizacija stireno.png and lt:Vaizdas:Ksileno izomerai.png used in the Lithuanian Wikipedia.

I wrote the corresponding articles Vilnius Cathedral and lt:Vilniaus Katedra in the English and Lithuanian Wikipedias, respectively (although they were short), and I wrote Laisves Aleja in the English Wikipedia but have not started a corresponding article in the Lithuanian Wikipedia yet. I once expanded the English Wikipedia article Lithuanian cuisine, although it has been expanded even more since. I started the Lithuanian Wikipedia articles lt:Kuršiu Nerija, lt:Obuoliai which was moved to lt:Obelis, lt:Citrina, lt:Apelsinas, lt:Greipfrutas, lt:Bananas, lt:Transporto priemone (rewritten since I started it), although they've been expanded since I wrote them. I also wrote or expanded a few articles on the topic of chemistry in the Lithuanian Wikipedia. Someday I hope to finish lt:Aromatiniai junginiai (Aromatic compounds). I was dismayed when my Lithuanian Wikipedia WikiProject "Vikiprojektas:Chemija, Fizika, ir Inžinerija" (WikiProject Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering) was deleted.  :-(

I added more information and a new section "Lithuanian sites in Chicagoland" to the Lithuanians in Chicago article, H Padleckas (talk) 01:38, 30 March 2009 (UTC) which I have since moved to Lithuanians in the Chicago area in order to include similar content about the suburbs.
