If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

If you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to announce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.

Finally, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

Again, welcome!--Riurik^(discuss) 01:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Crimea, at the time owned by the [Russian Empire], but whose legal status and autonomy has since been disputed

Welcome to Wikipedia! It is no problem that you consider yourself Russian (so does my best friend) but in on of your edit's in the Rachel Devirys article you claim that: Crimea, at the time owned by the [Russian Empire], but whose legal status and autonomy has since been disputed. I now it has been disputed in the past but not anymore. In December 2007 President Putin stated that he has no interest in taking over parts of any country. "We do not want to incorporate anyone into Russia because it would be an additional economic burden for us," the president said [[1]]. Let's not try to write about problems who do not exist please.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
