Itsepino edit

Hi J. K.! Could you please let me know where you got the statement that Itsepino is a village in Lomonosovsky District? The official lists of inhabited localities of Leningrad Oblast do not show this village at all (all I could find was "Itsipino, but it's in Kingiseppsky District), nor is it listed in the 1966 and 1973 reference lists. The book you used as a reference is from 1981; do you have anything more current? Does it mention Lomonosovsky District specifically? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 2, 2010; 16:00 (UTC)

It was listed in -finnish wikipedia as being part of Koporye area, which was merged to Lomonosovsky district. It might well be that Itsipino which you mentioned. Here is one map with that village on it. J.K Nakkila (talk) 16:41, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the info; I'll look into this and make corrections as necessary. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 2, 2010; 17:19 (UTC)
Judging by the map you linked to, it is the same as Itsipino. I've added the coordinates and referenced the administrative jurisdiction. Thanks again for your help.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 2, 2010; 17:32 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Seto flag.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Seto flag.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hammersoft (talk) 21:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Curonian Language edit

Curonia has its own unique history that's not exactly unform to the rest of Latvia, with all respect Livonians remained more dominant in Curonia, even after 1220 Indo-European influx Finnic speakers remained relatively isolated in the northern tip of Curonia! So lets leave it as Baltic or Finnic, because of the strong Finnic nature of the few linguistic examples found in Curonian history. Cadenas2008 (talk) 04:03, 8 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for March 7 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Timeline of events related to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Al-Baghdadi. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
