Message from userpage

Nixer,

can you move the German sub-box with Generaladmiral, Generaloberst, etc. above the sub-box with Admiral, General, etc.? I do not have the editing skills to do that.

By the way, a General in the Wehrmacht generally had an elaboration to his rank, depending on the service branch he was in or had come up in -- such as General der Infanterie or General der Artillerie or General der Panzertruppe or (in the air force) General der Flieger -- and this may be worth a footnote.Cosal 16:29, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

the above is a message from Cosal (talk · contribs) accidentaly placed on Nixer's userpage [1]

1. You're right, I'll correct.

2. In Soviet Union also they were General of... If you make a footnote, I will not oppose.

3. About highest SS rank. This page [2] says it was Der Oberste Fuehrer der Schutzstaffel. Not only this page says so.--Nixer 17:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

That's merely a matter of German grammar. "der" means "the". The rank or title is without article, but if one refers to the holder of it one uses the article. One would, for instance, also refer to "Der Reichsführer SS".Cosal 17:36, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, maybe. Why do you changed oberste to oberster?--Nixer 17:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Again German grammar intricacies. It is either "der oberste" or "oberster". The word "oberste" by itself and without article is feminine, while "oberster" is masculine.Cosal 18:22, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Comparative military ranks of World War II

If you don't want your work reverted then stop reverting other people's work! You are in a minority in your views on rank equivalency and transliteration. Add your footnotes, but don't keep reverting perfectly good work. -- Necrothesp 19:47, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Please, stop reverting MY work, your point is not right. Please, answer in the talk page.--Nixer 19:54, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Thus far, it seems to be your point of view and nobody else's. You also provide no evidence whatsoever for your claims. -- Necrothesp 22:12, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Generalissimo is rank that always superior to any Marshal. These ranks are equal: Field Marshal of RAF, Marshal of Air Force and Generalfeldmarschall der Fliegel. Reichsmarschall des Grossdeutchen Reiches is the same as Marshal of Soviet Union. Soviet Air Force was headed by General-Leutenant some time - should you say he was the same rank as Goering? Putting Generalissimo and General of the Army on one grade is a nonsence.--Nixer 22:21, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

The name is not important - it's what they do that counts. Each country uses different names. Izehar 22:22, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

"Generalissimo is rank that always superior to any Marshal". Says who? Generalissimo is usually a title made up by dictators for themselves. They are not acknowledged as being superior by other countries. Where is it written that Göring and the Marshals of the SU were senior to any other marshals in the world? These equivalencies are simply your opinion, apparently based on the fact that they were senior to other officers in their own country (irrelevant to other countries). There is no basis for them in fact, nor can there be. Don't put forward your own opinions as fact. -- Necrothesp 22:30, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

There were many Generalissimos in Russian history. None of them (excepting Stalin) was head of state. Soviet marshals were equivalent to General of the Armies in the US and to Goering's title. Field Marshal usually rearer than full Marshal (Marshal of the state).--Nixer 23:06, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

They are different names. What the Russians called Generalissimos, the British call Field Marshal. They are the same rank. Izehar 23:16, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Who did say you such a delirium? I know Field Marshials in Russian history that were promoted to Generalissimos. These ranks existed at the same time.--Nixer 23:29, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Can't you understand? In ENGLAND the highest rank, what the Russians call Generalissimos, is the Field Marshal. The are the same rank, doing the same job, the only difference is the name. Are you deliberetly not understanding, are you some kind of troll? Izehar 23:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

In Luxemburg the same job does colonel, but it is not the same rank. Stanin being Marshal did the same work as Stalin being Generalissimo, bu those are not the same ranks. Dont you understand this? You like a child.--Nixer 00:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

You have no basis for any of your assertions. "Soviet marshals were equivalent to General of the Armies in the US and to Goering's title". Proof? No. You can't provide that can you (since it does not and cannot exist), so you just rant and insult people. Why exactly do you think Russian officers are more senior than anybody else? No ranting, just explain why they are the world's most senior officers. And before you start on about them being called "Generalissimo" or suchlike, an over-inflated title does not make them automatically senior. It's just a word. -- Necrothesp 11:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

It is not only word, but it is a military title. I do not say Stalin was better strategist than King George. But historically Generalissimos outranked any marshals and field marshals, especially of specific arm. Why do you think Generalissimo was equal to General of the Army of the US? You have no proof. With certainty we can say 1.Soviet General of the army was equal to US General of the Army (there is a link), 2. Generalissimo outranked Soviet General of the Army. We cannot establish correspondence between Generalissimo and any US rank. So please do not indicate Generalissimo as having the same rank as General of the Army. --Nixer 22:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

A Generalissimo outranked a General of the Army in the Soviet Union. This does not mean he outranked a General of the Army (or Field Marshal) anywhere else in countries that did not have Generalissimos. You cannot say that if a country has three top ranks, two of them outrank the top officers in a country that only has one top rank. That is merely a difference in the number of ranks, since the positions held by a General of the Army, Marshal and Generalissimo in the Soviet Union would all be held by a Field Marshal in Britain. The rank designation is different, but the position held is the same. It is possible for two or three ranks in one country to correspond to a single rank in others (e.g. three ranks of Lieutenant in the SU correspond to two in Britain - it does not mean that a Russian Senior Lieutenant outranks a British Lieutenant or is equal to a British Captain; the fact that Britain had two ranks of Commodore does not mean that the senior equated to an American Rear Admiral). -- Necrothesp 01:31, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

In Luxemburg the same position as Brithish Field Marshal is held by Colonel - this does not make Luxemburgish Colonel correspond to British Field Marshal. I agree, we have not any DIRECT data that approves Generalissimo did outrank British Field Marshal. Though, on the other hand, we have no data that allows us to indicate them as having corresponding ranks of the same level. Generalissimo DOES NOT correspond to Field Marshal.--Nixer 02:46, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

The Luxembourg army is tiny. They make no claims as to having officers senior to colonel, otherwise they'd call them generals. The British Army and US Army, however, were large forces with every bit as much infrastructure as the Soviet Army. Their commanders ranked equally with Soviet commanders. Claiming otherwise is ridiculous. -- Necrothesp 10:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

British and US armies are strong, they were not involved in the war to the same extent. Compare the number of divisions on the East and West fronts.--Nixer 11:24, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

No Nixer, you cite a source that confirms that the head of the armed forces of one country can outrank the head of the armed forces of another. Izehar 10:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Izehar, I already gave the sources in the talk page of the article. Please, read my latest posts. By the way, I already said that Luxemburgish military is headed by a Colonel. Do you need this source? --Nixer 10:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Giving Russian sources that nobody else can read is irrelevant to English Wikipedia. Give proof from the British and US governments that they acknowledged Stalin and all his Marshals as being senior to any of their officers or your argument is fatally flawed. -- Necrothesp 10:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

The point is there was NO official correspondence before 1955. So this table in general can be based on not more then speculations. I give a link to a Russian military historian, which himself says this ranking subjective, though he describes general principles of estimations. If you have another source - this would be welcome.--Nixer 11:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, if there's no correspondence then you have no proof. Case closed. Can you stop these stupid edits and leave the table as is. -- Necrothesp 11:11, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

You also have not you proof. I give you sources, you give NO SOURCES AT ALL. Your version is incorrect.--Nixer 11:16, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

As I said, give a British or American source or stop making claims. -- Necrothesp 11:28, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Do you have any British or American or any other sources to support your version? And Wikipedia policy does not prohibit using Russian sources, you know.--Nixer 11:35, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Nixer, read Wikipedia:Verifiability. Sources should normally be in English. Izehar 11:44, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Since there is no English sources for this article, I suggest to delete it.--Nixer 11:46, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Здравствуйте Nixer! У меня нет диких фантазий. Во многих случаях ты прав, но не во всё. Я полностью поддерживаю тебя в споре о Генералиссимусе СССР и о других высших званиях. Но вынужден не согласится с тобой о советском Адмирале и советском Генерал-майоре. Генерал-майор в 1940 году сменил звание Комдив и до этого года было советское 100% эквивалентное звание бригадным генералам других стран - это Комбриг, было советское звание Комдив - 100% эквивалентное звание Генерал-майорам других стран, было советское звание Комкор - 100% эквивалентное звание Генерал-лейтенантам других стран, было советское звание Командарм 2-ого ранга - эквивалентность которого спорна, так как оно может быть эквивалентно и к OF-8 и к OF-9 разрядам других стран (то есть и к Генерал-лейтенантам и к полным Генералам других стран), было советское звание Командарм 1-ого ранга - 100% эквивалентное звание полным Генералам других стран и было звание Маршал СССР - 100% эквивалентное звание Маршалам других стран. После введения в 1940 году в СССР генеральских званий звание Комбриг было упразднено и вместе с Комдивом было заменено на Генерал-майора, поэтому его эквивалентность тоже спорна , так как оно может быть эквивалентно и к OF-6 и к OF-7 разрядам других стран (то есть и к бригадным генералам и к Генерал-майорам других стран). В советской и в современной российской армиях бригадой командовают или Полковник или Генерал-майор. Всё это имеет отношение и к эквивалентности советского Адмирала - его эквивалентность также спорна , так как оно может быть эквивалентно и к OF-8 и к OF-9 разрядам других стран (то есть и к Вице-адмиралам и к Адмиралам других стран). Ты прав что звание Маршал СССР не полностью эквивалентно к званиям Главных маршалов рода войск, но так как в этих родах войск, а в особенности в авиации не было звания выше этого то эти звания могут быть приблизительно эквивалентны когда мы их сравниваем со званиями OF-10 разряда других стран. Ты пишешь что звания Главных маршалов рода войск не только для авиации и они выше званий Маршалов рода войск - в этом ты абсолютно прав и это хорошо видно в временной статье. Ты не прав о British army of that time there was no commodores of 1st and second class - смотри WWII Вritnavyranks и ты не прав о Japan army had no rank correspondent to Brigadier General - had Jün Shō. О there was no Midshipman rank - я тебя не понял. В действующей версии этой статьи также отсутствуют или не эквивалентны некоторые итальянские звания и так думают многие. Где и в какой стране ты имел ввиду его не было. Ты писал раньше: "спасибо за поддержку надлежащий версии этой статьи" - это значит что моя версия этой страницы не плохая. Прошу тебя написать местоположение твоей страницы или полслат по E-mail tt1@mail.ru и я обещяю что без твоего согласия я не буду изменять её. Спасибо за внимание и прошу прощения, что ты был блокирован много раз из-за Roitr как и я. Они считают что мы с ним одно и тоже.--Tt1 14:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Translation: Hello Nixer! I do not have wild fantasies. In many cases you are right, but not in all. I completely support you in dispute about the Generalissimo of the USSR and on other outrank ranks. But about the Soviet General-major will disagree with you and about the Soviet Admiral. The general-major in 1940 has replaced rank Komdiv and till this year there was Soviet 100% equivalent rank to brigade generals of other countries - is Kombrig, there was Soviet rank Komdiv - 100% equivalent rank to the General-majors of other countries, there was Soviet rank Komkor - 100% equivalent rank to the General-lieutenants of other countries, there was a Soviet rank the Commandarm of 2-nd rank - which equivalence is disputable - it can be equivalent both to OF-8 and to OF-9 categories of other countries (that is both to the General-lieutenants and to full Generals of other countries), there was a Soviet rank the Commandarm of 1-st rank - 100% equivalent rank to full Generals of other countries and there was a rank the Marshal of the USSR - 100% equivalent rank to Marshals of other countries. After introduction in 1940 in the USSR generals ranks - rank Kombrig has been abolished and together with Kombrig has been replaced by the General-major, which equivalence too is disputable - it can be equivalent both to OF-6 and to OF-7 categories of other countries (that is both to brigade generals and to the General-majors of other countries). In Soviet and in modern Russian armies the commander of brigade - or the Colonel or the General-major. All it concerns to equivalence of the Soviet Admiral - its equivalence also disputable - it can be equivalent both to OF-8 and to OF-9 categories of other countries (that is both to Vice-admirals and to Admirals of other countries). You are right that the rank the Marshal of the USSR is not completely equivalent to ranks of the Chief Marshals arm of the services, but as in these arms of the service, and in particular in aircraft there was no rank above and these ranks can be approximately equivalents when we compare them to ranks OF-10 category of other countries. You write that ranks of the Chief Marshals arm of the service not only for aviation and they above ranks of Marshals arm of the service - in it you are absolutely right and all it is well visible in the temporary page. You are not right about British army of that time there was no commodores of 1st and second class - look WWII Вritnavyranks , also you are not right about Japan army had no rank correspondent to Brigadier General - had Jün Shō. About there was no Midshipman rank - I have not understood you. Where and in what country you had in view of it were not. In the current version of this page also are absent or are not equivalent some Italian ranks and are absent French ranks - So many users also think as I. You wrote earlier: " Thanks for support the proper version of the table" - is meansthat my version of this page not bad. Thanks for attention and I am sorry that you have been blocked many times because Roitr edits as well as I. They consider that we with him the same user.--Tt1 14:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Именно потому что не все из комбригов стали полковниками автоматически, а аттестационная комиссия решала какое звание присвоить вчерашнему комбригу и некоторым им присвоили звание "генерал-майор" то и судить о их эквивалентности трудно и спорно. В советской и в современной российской армиях бригадой командовают или Полковник или Генерал-майор, хотя редко. У меня есть дядя в России - генерал-майор и он командовает бригадой. Поэтому я считаю что и я и ты правы. Мы можем оставить мою версию только сделать пометку об этом:"equivalence of this is disputable - it can be equivalent both to OF-6 and to OF-7 categories of other countries (that is both to brigade generals and to the General-majors of other countries)". Ты сам писал что Chief Mashal of service выше Mashal of service почему теперь ты их сравниваешь.Я считаю это не совсем правильно и по моему мнению Chief Mashal of Aviation более эквивалентен к British Marshal of the RAF и к General of Air Forces of USA. My link about British army corresponds to WWII period WWII Military Ranks Archive. About Japan ranks I am right too. Прошу тебя написать местоположение твоей страницы или полслать по E-mail tt1@mail.ru --Tt1 15:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Because not all from Kombrigs became colonels automatically, and the certifying commission decided what rank to appropriate yesterday's комбригу and the some it have appropriated a rank "general-major" that and to judge their equivalence difficultly and disputably. In Soviet and in modern Russian armies the commander of brigade - or the Colonel or the General-majorthough, it is rare. I have a uncle in Russia - the general-major and he is the commander of brigade. Therefore I consider as I and you are right. We can leave my version only to make a mark about it: "equivalence of this is disputable - it can be equivalent both to OF-6 and to OF-7 categories of other countries (that is both to brigade generals and to the General-majors of other countries)". You wrote that Chief Mashal of service above Mashal of service, why now you compare them. I consider it not absolutely correctly and in my opinion Chief Mashal of Aviation is more equivalent to British Marshal of the RAF and to General of Air Forces of USA. My link about British army corresponds to WWII period WWII Military Ranks Archive. About Japan ranks I am right too.--Tt1 15:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

No. Here I am only right. The rank corresponding to Brigabier General (or Kombrig) was abolished with the reform. There was no corresponding rank after the reform. General-Major was corresponding to Major General of British army and General-Leutenant - to British Leutenant General. Your sence is not significant unless you presented the sources. --Nixer 15:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Просто отменили этот ранг и всё. Что тут обсуждать? Ни генерал-майор, ни полковник не эквивалентны комбригу в этом хотя и не полностью я с тобой согласен для компромисса, но что советский генерал-майор - 100% эквивалентен генерал-лейтенантам других стран а не бригадным генералам и что следуя твоей логики советский генерал армии равен американскому, но это не так - полномочия их разные: американский - Почетное звание, даваемое за особые заслуги и Главнокомандующий, Командующий армиями, округом (фронтом), а советский генерал армии - Почетное звание, даваемое за особые заслуги и Неглавнокомандующий, Некомандующий армиями и фронтами, а Командующий армией или округом. Я не уверен и вообще я считаю что было ошибкой с самого начала сравнивать звания по кодам НАТО. И ещё один вопрос? Ты считаешь что моя версия этой страницы хуже действующей версии этой страницы? То я так не считаю в действующей версии этой страницы намного больше ошибок чем в моей.-Tt1 17:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Советский генерал-майор соответствует генерал-майорам других стран, а не генерал-лейтенантам. В современной России министр обороны - это генерал армии. В США как во времена войны, так и сейчас, главнокомандующий - это гражданская должность, с военным званием не связанная и принадлежащая президенту. Советский генерал армии официально был эквивалентен маршалу рода войск.--Nixer 17:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Ты прав что Советский генерал армии официально был эквивалентен маршалу рода войск и Адмиралу флота (1940-1944), но ты не прав говоря что в США как во времена войны, так и сейчас, главнокомандующий - это должность принадлежащая президенту. В США президент - ВЕРХОВНЫЙ главнокомандующий, как и в России, а просто главнокомандующий - министр обороны США. У тебя устарели данные - В современной России министр обороны - это гражданская должность, с военным званием не связанная. То что Иванов - генерал это факт, но был указ президента что должность министра обороны России - гражданская и поэтому даже военный парад Иванов принимает в гражданской одежде! Кому по твоему равен ГЕНЕРАЛ ПОЛКОВНИК? Почему ты не высказал своё мнение о итальянских, французских и английских званиях после таких серьёзных доказательств? В своих утверждениях ты основываешься на сайте Еремеева, а я кроме его и на многих других сайтов. И ты не ответил на мой вопрос считаешь ли ты что моя версия этой страницы хуже действующей версии этой страницы? То я так не считаю в действующей версии этой страницы намного больше ошибок чем в моей. И не высказался насчёт что было ошибкой с самого начала сравнивать звания по кодам НАТО и насчёт твоего призыва их к моему бойкотированию на User talk:Husnock. Что ты думаешь о Outranks в моей таблице и пометки для них и для OF-10 званий - правильные они или нет?-Tt1 18:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

И президент, и министр обороны, и главнокомандующий, и верховный главнокомандующий - это гражданские должности. Генерал-полковник соответствовал, например, немецкому Generaloberst. Согласен, что сравнивать по современным рангам НАТО - не очень хорошая идея. Если тебе не нравится сайт Еремеева, предложи другой источник соответствия званий разных стран. Я другого источника не знаю. Поскольку другого источника нет, а с ним не все согласны, можно сделать пометку, что информация приводится в соответствии с этим сайтом (и дать ссылку). С твоей версией я абсолютно не согласен (Маршал советского союза не был ниже Геринга).--Nixer 18:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Мне нравится сайт Еремеева но некоторых редких случаях я с ним не согласеню Есть и другие сайты соответствия званий разных стран http://www.luther.ca/~dave7cnv/military/military.html , http://rankmaven.tripod.com/NATO-92-RM.htm , http://www.babelport.com/articles/ranks_officers.htm, http://www.jcs-group.com/military/rank/ww2rank.html - правда без званий России.

Все эти источники посвящены современным званиям. Как ты не можешь понять, что их нельзя проецировать на времена WWII?--Nixer 20:23, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Да я считаю что Маршал Советского Союза был ниже Reichsmarschall des Großdeutschen Reiches и ниже Primo Maresciallo dell'Impero в Италии. Все сайты и книги сравнивают Маршала Советского Союза с Маршалами, Фельдмаршалами, Генерел-фельдмаршалами других стран. Даже Еремеев ставит Маршала Советского Союза в код 18а, а эти звания код 18Б на ряду с Генералиссимусом, но с этим сравнением я не согласен. лучше всего для примера взять Китайские звания и мою кодировку: 17а. Da Jiang - генерал армии или полный генерал, 18а Zhong Hua Ren Ming Gong He Guo Yuan Shuai - Маршал Китайской республики равен Маршалу Советского Союза, 18б Zhong Hua Ren Ming Gong He Guo Da Yuan Shuai - Главный (Большой) Маршал Китайской республикии равен немецкому Reichsmarschall des Großdeutschen Reiches и Primo Maresciallo dell'Impero в Италии и есть 19. Zhong Hua Ren Ming Gong He Te Ji - Генералиссимус Китайской республики равен Генералиссимусу СССР. Также для примера можно взять и звания кореи где есть 17а полный генерал, 17а маршал рода войск, 17а или 18а главный маршал рода войскм, 18а маршал кореи, 18б главный (большой) маршал кореи и 19. Генералиссимус Кореи. Я бы так кодировал их.

Есть источник с соответствиями или опять фантазии? --Nixer 20:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Я также не согласен с тобой что Генерал-полковник соответствовал, например, немецкому Generaloberst ведь в германии Generaloberst был выше даже полного генерала и если уж их сравнивать, то по моему Генерал-полковник более соответствовал немецкому генералу -"General der Infanterie" и т.д .

Он обоим соответствовал. В немецкой армии в этой клеточке было больше званий, чем в других странах.--Nixer 20:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Я так понял что если ты не высказался против моих замечаниях о итальянских, французских и английских званий, то ты не против их и согласен со мной.-Tt1 19:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Я не знаю об этих системах званий. Я против любой информации без источника. Admiral of the Navy - такого звания во время WWII не было.--Nixer 20:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

"Все эти источники посвящены современным званиям. Как ты не можешь понять, что их нельзя проецировать на времена WWII" - подавляющее большинство из них не изменились до сих пор, а особенно звания наивысших офицеров, просто сейчас они никому не присваиваются и существуют чисто теоритически - их ни кто не отменял и они предусмотрены на случай большой войны!

В этом один из источников твоих ошибок. Эти источники нельзя использовать.--Nixer 00:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Эти звания одни и теже: Маршал он и сейчас Маршал, Фельдмаршал он и сейчас Фельдмаршал, Генерал-Фельдмаршал он и сейчас Генерал-Фельдмаршал и эквивалентность их тажа, только они существуют чисто теоритически и никому не присваиваются - эта вся разница!-Tt1 20:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

"Есть источник с соответствиями или опять фантазии" - есть много посмотри сайты о званиях китая и о званиях кореи. Я китаиский и корейский не знаю и читать на этих языках не могу и поэтому все приведённые звания я выдумать не мог, а взял их с источников!

Там есть соответствия знаний, причём именно времён WWII? Если нет, то эти источники не годятся.--Nixer 00:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Все звания Китая относятся именно к времи WWII и соответствие тоже к тому периоду. В современном китае таких званий сейчас не существуют.-Tt1 20:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

"Генерал-полковник соответствовал обоим. В немецкой армии в этой клеточке было больше званий, чем в других странах". Тогда и в советского Генерал-полковника надо писать в одной клетки вместе с генералом армии.

Нет. Потому что в других странах тоже были соответствующие звания. А двум немецким званиям соответствовало одно звание в армиях всех других стран.--Nixer 00:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Но Еремеев утверждает обратное! Под кодом №17 у немцов Генерал-оберст, под кодом №16 у немцов Генерал дер инфантери. http://armor.kiev.ua/army/titul/werm_heer1.shtml и http://www.baseclass.modulweb.dk/69giap/179.0.html и http://www.jcs-group.com/military/rank/ww2rank.html.-Tt1 20:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

"Я не знаю об этих системах званий. Я против любой информации без источника". Я о них предоставлял выше много источников информации и что касается итальянских и французских, то эти данные ты можешь проверить на сайтх министерств обороны этих стран! Admiral of the Navy - такое звание во время WWII на практике не было, то есть его никто не носил, а теоритически было - его никто не отменял из системы американских званий!

Ошибаешься. Был проект ввести соответствующее ему Flag Admiral, но проект не прошёл.--Nixer 00:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Нет не ошибаюсь. Flag Admiral - звание существует в некоторых странах и соответствует Командору! Укажи источники где указанно, что звание Admiral of the Navy официально отменено и напиши источник о проекте ввести соответствующее ему Flag Admiral звание.-Tt1 20:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Я нашёл твою станицу и там тоже много неточностей и недоработак. 1. У тебя генерал армии OF-10, то есть равен Британскому Фельдмаршалу и немецкому Генерал-фельдмаршалу но в твоем любимом сайте Еремеева генерал армии он под кодом №17 http://armor.kiev.ua/army/titul/sovarm_1943-55.shtml, немецкий Генерал-фельдмаршал под кодом №18 и под кодом №17 у немцов Генерал-оберст. Звание адмирал флота во время войны меняло своё значение: 1940-1944 оно было равно генралу армии, а 1944-1955 до появления звания адмирал флота Советского Союза было равно Маршалу Советского Союза, даже погоны заменили с четырёх звёзд на одну большую!

Ничего не меняли. Ввели новое звание "Адмирал флота Советского Союза", не отменяя "Адмирал флота", и было это в 1955 году.--Nixer 00:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Нет изменяли. Звание адмирал флота во время войны меняло своё значение: 1940-1944 оно было равно генралу армии, а 1944-1955 до появления звания адмирал флота Советского Союза было равно Маршалу Советского Союза, даже погоны заменили с четырёх звёзд на одну большую! Смотри http://marshals.narod.ru/admirals.html, только там небольшая неточность и там написано что с мая 1945 адмирал флота было равно Маршалу Советского Союза а на самом деле с мая 1945 - адмирал Кузнецов, но эта ошибка и спор в дате не существенны так как и май 1944 и май 1945 - период WWII. В сайте Еремеева это просто не оговарено. У тебя генерал армии OF-10, то есть равен Британскому Фельдмаршалу и немецкому Генерал-фельдмаршалу, но в твоем любимом сайте Еремеева генерал армии он под кодом №17 http://armor.kiev.ua/army/titul/sovarm_1943-55.shtml, немецкий Генерал-фельдмаршал под кодом №18 и под кодом №17 у немцов Генерал-оберст.-Tt1 20:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

2.Где британский Second Officer если ты убрал мичмана, то это звание было выше чем Commissioned Warrant Officer. WWII Military Ranks Archive.

У тебя он отсутствует также как отсутствует Commodore 1st Class и Commodore 2st Class. Я привёл свои источники, укажи на другие каторые это опровергают!.-Tt1 20:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

3.У тебя имеются и другие неточности.

Так что моя версия http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_military_ranks_of_World_War_II/temp более точна об этих званиях.-Tt1 20:55, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

3RR violation

You've been warned of 3RR violation by Izehar and ignored it. I'm reporting the incident now. --_Lysy^{talk to me} 11:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

You reverted me without any explanation.--Nixer 11:28, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

You're wrong.--Nixer 11:45, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Lysy doesn't have to explain himself - you are not allowed to revert more than three times within the same 24 hour period under any circumstances except clear vandalism. You have been blocked countless times for 3RRvios, you should know this by now. What are you, the clever one who is exempt from the 3RR, while everyone else isn't? Izehar 11:48, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Why he does not have to explain? Any edit shoul be motivated.--Nixer 11:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

No Nixer, the last thing I want to do is follow you around. I happened to have the article Basque language on my watchlist and noticed you editing it. For more, see Talk:Basque language. Izehar 15:33, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

If so then please ask me in the talk page before reverting.--Nixer 15:39, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

WP:3RR block

• You have been blocked for 1 week. 3RR is an "electric fence". There is no reason to violate it except for clear vandalism. You have been blocked for it no fewer than 10 times. Wikibofh_(talk) 16:03, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

My opponents does not present any support for their point of view, deleting my edits without comment. This is a clear vandalism. Please unblock me. You're violating the Wikipedia policy. You cant block me for 3RR for a week.--Nixer 20:11, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• You have violated 3RR 10 times. It's not vandalism. You are engaged in an edit war over several articles. I looked at them to see if anyone else violated 3RR on them, and they didn't. 3RR is supposed to slow down edit wars, but you are simply choosing to ignore it. It is not vandalism, and the block is appropriate. I will post a comment to WP:AN/I for other admins to review, but I have a hard time believing that this won't be seen as reasonable. Wikibofh_(talk) 20:49, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment has been posted. Wikibofh_(talk) 20:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

He wouldn't be able to block you for 3RR violation for a week on the first or second occasion, but since you had multiple warnings before and did not listen, this block is quite justified. And heed my words—if you violate 3RR again, I myself will block you for no less than a month.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 20:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

And what me to do, if all my edits are reverted without comment?--Nixer 20:41, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk to people. Bring it to someone else's attention. Complain. Ask for mediation. Request review. But do not revert more than three times in 24 hours.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 20:43, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean "without a comment". The talk pages of the articles in question and you very talk page is full of desperate people trying to reson with you. You cannot expect to be able to impose your POV on articles and we have to accept it. Why don't you take the time during this break to find and cite some sources. Izehar 20:58, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Not you but that Pole Lysy reverted me without comment. Also you reverted me without comment in Basque language and dont answer the four questions I asked you (User_talk:Izehar). My cooments ars simply ignored.--Nixer 21:21, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Please, correct the Basque languages article

Please, correct the Basque languages article! No it is confusing the North and South Caucasian languages. It is not right. It seems some users tend to revert any of my edits. Please, correct the mistake.--Nixer 20:33, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Nixer, before presenting yourself as an innocent victim, how do you explain your edit warring. You knew that you would be blocked, and yet proceeded. I did not revert your edits to Basque language because you made them. I (and all other editors) reverted because this North and South Caucasian theory is very dubious indeed and they way you wrote it is obviously biased. I was tempted to unblock you, but since your persisting in your POV-pushing against the will of all other editors of those articles and Wikipedia policy even while blocked, I think that would be a bad idea (they'd hate me). While you are blocked, I suggest you read Wikipedia:Reliable sources, Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:NPOV. You nominated a perfectly fine article for deletion just because you couldn't get your way. That is disruptive and I personally, would characterise it as trolling. That alone could justify this block. Please consider stopping revert warring, or you could end up permanently blocked (à la User:Gibraltarian). As long as your views are in the minority and are controversial, there is no way that you can win a revert war against multiple users and there is no way you will get you way if you don't explain your edits. It's all very well asking other users to explain themselves, but so must you. The mere fact that you user the word "opponent" to describe us, shows your approach to these disputes. So far, I have assumed good faith, but I think it will be extremely hard to get me and most other editors to take you seriously after that obviously bad faith AfD nomination.

If you still believe this block is unjustified, please add the text {{unblock}} to this page along with an explanation of why you believe this block to be unjustified; your request will be considered. You can also take this to the mailing list or to IRC, it's up to you. I advise you to be polite and to show signs of rehabilitation if you want to get anywhere. Izehar 20:54, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Izehar, OK, let's discuss the edit (though, as I see it is actually impossible to show you anything). This theory is not debilous and is based on works of many famous liguists, for example, Edward Sapir, Sergei Starostin, Edward Vajda and so forth. It looks like the most probable theory. Only one point it has not to become a scientific fact is regular phonetical correspondence, though for Sino-Caucasian branch they already stated by Starostin. In any case, if there presented much more political than linguistic theory about relations with Georgian, this theory also should be presented. I did not add infoirmation on the Dene-Caucasian theory (it already existed in the article) but prevent confusion between Georgian and North Caucasian languages (many non-specialists make such mistake).--Nixer 21:16, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Please correct the Moscow article

Please change the phrase The urban area constitutes about 1/10 of the Russian population, thus making it the most populous city in Eastern Europe. to The urban area constitutes about 1/10 of the Russian population, thus making it the most populous city in Europe.

Izehar, answer

Why do you support this dibilous version without Soviet Marshal of specific arms ranks, without supreme SS rank, in which Himmler placed above Russian Marshal of the Soviet Union? Please answer.

Thanks

Thanks. WikiThanks.

WW2 ranks

I suspect, although I haven't researched this, that there were no exact equivalents to some ranks, and no formal agreements between countries on what equalled what. If I have time I will look into it. Grant65 | Talk 08:24, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I think you may have a point, at least as far as formal ranks go. But I'm still thinking about various issues. Grant65 | Talk 08:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not aware of Hitler having a formal SS rank per se (certainly he was Himmler's superior regardless of rank). Do you have a source for the existence of anything above Reichsfuhrer-SS? —Kirill Lokshin 16:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Of course. Sources:[4], [5], [6].--Nixer 17:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, as this states, Hitler's title was honorary. We should probably list Hitler and Himmler both in the separate table; the idea is to divide titles created for specific people from ranks held by "regular" officers. —Kirill Lokshin 22:22, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

May be his title was "honorary". "Chief marshal" also a honorary title. Himmler according official (German) correspondence between SS and army ranks was the same level as Grossadmiral and Fieldmarshal. If we take a criteria to separate titles that held by only one person, we should also separate for example Главный маршал авиации. There were also officially existing titles that nobody held (for example, Главный маршал инженерных войск).--Nixer 03:35, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Re. your last post on my talk page: I don't think it was a deliberate deletion; the same thing happened to me recently when I and another editor both posted simultaneously and there was no "edit conflict", as there should have been. Someone should take it up with the software people. Grant65 | Talk 19:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm keeping an eye on the article/discussion. You seem to have Husnock on side at the moment at least. Grant65 | Talk 09:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Pretty, pretty please. Could you please stop blind reverting? It took me some time to corrrect all the footnotes and the HTML, and you blind reverted all of my changes in a matter of seconds after I posted them... Please, if you have some corrections - feel free to add them, but please do not ruin my work. Please. Halibutt 17:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Please do not revert the proper version. It had been discussed for more than month. and was located in Comparative military ranks of World War II/temp since the page was protected from editing. Now I copied the result of discussion in the article page. There is too many to correct in your improper version - table form, ranking, need add a number of strings, footnotes and many other.--Nixer 17:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I responded here and reverted to the full version. If you believe your version is better, feel free to add it, but please do not delete my work. I too spent some time on the table and I see no reason why should my work be dumped and not yours. Please, just add Poland, correct footnotes and correct UTF, and we could replace the article with your version. How about that? Halibutt 18:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I also spent time, and moch more than you. And you're reverting to a version of the last month. If you want to add, please add Poland to the proper version.--Nixer 19:06, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

No Nixer, you are removing both Poland and Greece. We are adding information, you are subtracting it. If you want to use a fancy table format, you will have to integrate Greece and Poland into your version, not remove valid information. Latinus 19:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Please, do not revert the proper version. You're adding it to a vandalized version. You will be reverted again.--Nixer 19:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

How is it a vandalised version? It seems fine to me - please don't remove accurate information (the Greek and Polish ranks). Latinus 20:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

So, Nixer. What are we going to do about our little edit war? You do realise that the Greek and Polish ranks are staying - so what do we do? Latinus 23:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

They have to be added to the proper version of the article.--Nixer 23:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, given that Halibutt had already added them to the live version before you added your version, you should add them to the temp version - it'll give you something to do while you're blocked. Latinus 23:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

He added it not to live version, but to vandalized version full with Tt1's own wild fantasies. Discussed and live version was in the talk page.--Nixer 00:06, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Now I get it - I'll see what I can do. I have a large essay to complete though, so it could take a while. If you like, you could be getting on with it as well. Latinus 00:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I had no idea Tt1's versions were good or bad, I simply added it to the only official version of that article out there. Halibutt 11:38, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

What do you call "official version"? It vas vandalized version.--Nixer 14:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

The one in the article's namespace. I already told you, it might've been vandalized or not, I don't really care. Even if it was, it does not make your vandalism right. Just add your corrections to the article and all will be fine. Halibutt 16:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Why we should redo all the work of the last month only because you chose the vandalized version?--Nixer 18:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok, since combining both versions rather than respecting the work of others seemed like a huge problem to you, I did it myself. Is it ok now? Halibutt 17:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

No. It is not right now. For example, in British army of that time there was no commodores of 1st and second class, Soviet General-Major is not correspondent to Brigadier General, Japan army also had no rank correspondent to Brigadier General. Soviet Chief Marshal of service was superior to Marshal of service, there was no Midshipman rank, Marshal of specific arm was not only in aviation, Soviet Admiral correspondent to British Admiral, not Vice-Admiral, and many other mistakes, big and small. This is mixture of ranks of different times with wild fantasies of Tt1.--Nixer 18:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

There is no such thing as "gravitoelectromagnetism". There is gravitomagnetism. Please do no invent new terms.--Nixer 02:40, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

the lit (cited in the 2nd section) says "gravitoelectromagnetism" or "GEM". these GEM equations (that looks like Maxwell's Eqs.) also define a "gravitoelectric" field (i would call it "gravitostatic", but i don't write the lit) in addition to a gravitomagnetic field. i was dubious about the name of the main article as "gravitomagnetic" but left it alone until Chris Hillman put on the ToDo list he created for the talk page, an entry to change the name. that was the sufficient authorization i needed.

when i do a Google search on "gravitomagnetic" or "gravitomagnetism" without "gravitoelectromagnetic" and "gravitoelectromagnetism", i see web hits like "Gravitomagnetism: The Myth and the Legend", "Gravitomagnetism. The orphan child of gravitational physics", "The Nature of Gravitomagnetism", "Gravitomagnetic Field / 'Gravity-Shielding' Experiments" [7], but when i reverse the terms, i see a bunch of hits of published research papers [8].

i was willing to leave it the other way (even though it didn't seem to me the term most used in the published lit) until i read that User:Hillman was planning to change it [9], so i did it for him. r b-j 05:37, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Right, the infobox contains a statement about the armament of a model whose armament varied between individual vehicles, as if it was a hard fact. This would not only make the article permanently look unfinished, but it is misleading compared to the description in the text which you removed. Besides this, your lazy reversion also removed other information and a reference from the article text. You call that constructive? —Michael Z. 2006-02-16 19:02 Z

Please vote

Hi. You voted in support of Alex Bakharev his previous RfA, and I just wanted to let you know that there's a second one at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Alex Bakharev 2. --Khoikhoi 03:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your voting!

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.

If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper. Thank you very much, once more! abakharev 07:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Ba27.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ba27.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Halibutt 12:45, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

This is an old vintage image that can be found on several sites.[12],[13] If all these sites even have any copyright notices, they cannot posibly expand their copyright to a PD image they don't own to begin with. So, I think Halibutt should not make problems for others just to promote another image of Soviet-German cooperation in partitioning of Poland. The image he pushes for is valuable for Wikipedia but not for this article where it serves no illustrative purpose at all. --Irpen 04:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Image

It's pretty clear, the copyright of that page claims that anyone can use the pics for any purpose except for commercial use. So, it is fair to assume that it is fair to use it in any article in wikipedia, which in itself is not commercial at all. Halibutt 03:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, but I think Wikipedia's GFDL licence requires images to be republishable for commercial use. Recently, a whole whack of images from Canadian government web sites have been deleted, specifically because they were only redistributable for non-commercial purposes. Sorry that I don't have a link to a definitive statement on this, but do investigate further. Cheers. —Michael Z. 2006-03-11 03:36 Z

Sure, I know that. However, it's not about commercial use vs. non-commercial use but about {{fairuse}} vs. {{Non-free fair use in}}. As simple as that. Halibutt 11:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

It seems you didn't read my explanations either. Halibutt 13:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

New rage of Roitr

Хватит всех обвинять в том что они являются личинками блокированных юзеров. Вы что больны соксоманией. Также почему все должны следовать Вашим данным с вашего источника. У меня они другие и англоязычные - http://www.baseclass.modulweb.dk/69giap/179.0.html , http://www.friesian.com/rank.htm . Эта статья общая и не является копией вашего источника. Эквивалентность генеральских званий в разных странах спорна и нет ни одной официальной статьи ни на английском ни на русском языке в которой написано 100% точная их эквивалентность. Ни НАТОвский, ни сайт мин. обороны России не имеют такой таблицы. Нельзя их сравнивать по их должностям, то есть кто каким воинским образованием руководит, так как в разных странах высшие звания и должности не всегда одинаковы. Ведь судите сами не могут быть генерал-полковник в Белоруссии, в ЮАР и в др. странах и генерал-лейтенант в Израиле, Латвии и в др. странах где они являются высшими званиями и офицеры имеющие их занимают в этих армиях так же и высшею должность, не могут быть равные Генералу армии в США, Фельдмаршалу в Британии и Маршалам в России или во Франции. И ещё Вы ведёте себя, как маленький ребёнок и вечно жалуетесь и плачете на всех юзеров, которые не согласны с Вами User:Husnockу и просить всех заблокировать. Это не решит вашу проблему и так может продолжаться вечно: Другие юзеры исправляют Вас, а Вы их возвращаете снова и снова. Это глупо и не смешно! User:Sergeybakh. 13:40, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Генерал-лейтенант в Израиле не равен генералу армии в США. То, что все ваши "юзеры" - это одно лицо, уже давно установлено.--Nixer 13:44, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

То что Генерал-лейтенант в Израиле не равен генералу армии в США Вы сами и ответили на вопрос. Хотя Генерал-лейтенант в Израиле и имеет должность нач. ген. штаба и генерал-полковник в Белоруссии мин. обороны или руководитель группой армией, армией, округом и т.д они не относятся к ОФ-10. Должности и звания в разных странах имеют спорную эквивалентность и поэтому их надо распределять по количеству званий в определённой категории от низшего к самому старшему или по погонам где по "звёздочкам" приблизительно видно какое звание равно какому. Ещё раз говорю, что нет ни одной официальной статьи ни на английском ни на русском языке в которой написано 100% точная их эквивалентность. Ни Натовские, ни сайт мин. обороны России не имеют такой таблицы. Так что и Ваши исправления не имеют 100% доказательств. Насчёт Вашей соксомании, то если Вы внимательно посмотрите то увидите, что все юзеры которых вы обвиняли в последние время не доказаны на 100% что они это личинки блокированных юзеров.О User:Markdanilе сказано что он может быть таким, но это ещё не доказано. О Valentinnakshе ни User:Husnockи ни другой админ не уверены на 100%, если он личинка. И относительно меня нет у Вас доказательств. Ни кого нельзя обвинять в чём-то без суда и следствия - это основное правило правосудия. Так что хватит заниматься детством - это Вам ни к лицу.User:Sergeybakh. 14:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Нет, по звёздочкам не годится потому что в СССР и Китае традиционно у генералов было на одну звёздочку меньше, чем в США.--Nixer 14:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

В СССР и в России высших офицерских званий 5 в Китае и в США тоже. В Китае кроме звёздочек внизу венок. Я имел ввиду кол-во знаков и они равны. Исходя из них мой идругих юзеров вариант более точен. --User:Sergeybakh. 14:45, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

and

{{db|already deleted [[Chief Marshal of the Air Force of the Russian Federation]], recreated multiple times by persistent vandal
 (see [[Wikipedia:Long_term_abuse/Roitr#Activity_report]])}}

No need to add explanation to the main text of the article.

Origin of Cold War

I think the origin of the Cold War will be a matter of opinion rather than fact and I have removed from the article on Churchill until you can quote sources to support your assertion that Churchill started it. As I said before, he was alerting the world to breaches of the Yalta Treaty. It is true that from this point people recognised that there was a conflict, but there had been previous events. For example, Stalin's speech in Feb 1946 had been seen by the US Government as a direct threat. JMcC 23:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:164ranl.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:164ranl.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 18:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I didn't mean to trouble you--I was only asking as a courtesy. I've tagged the images {{pui}} and {{nosource}} respectively.

WP:RUS

Hi, Nixer. I explained this to you in the past, and I will explain it to you again, as simple as possible:

• WP:RUS is a Wikipedia guideline.
• Policies and guidelines are edited differently than articles are. As WP:RUS is not an article, this edit summary of yours is not applicable.
• In general, you cannot "improve" a guideline without going through a formal process. You can improve grammar, spelling, formatting all you want, but content can be amended only when no other party objects to your changes. In this case, there are at least two people opposing you.
• The process of amending a policy/guideline is very well described at WP:HCP.
• This particular policy is also discussed at WP:CYR. It is moving really slow, I know, but there is nothing preventing you from trying to speed it up.
• If you continue changing WP:RUS without going through proper procedures, I will be forced to start imposing short blocks on you. I am sorry, but I do not know how else to explain you that what you are doing is not right.

Sincerely,—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 14:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

You do not explain why do you oppose me. You say you oppose me, but I see no arguments.Nixer 07:29, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

My main argument is that you refuse to provide proof for the changes you are making. All rules in the current system are either taken from BGN/PCGN or are a modification the community agreed upon. I merely want you to utilize proper procedures when suggesting modifications of a guideline; why I agree or disagree with them is mostly outlined at WP:CYR and I am more than willing to explain it when you submit a formal proposal.

As promised, I am blocking you for going against consensus, for refusing to cooperate, for pushing your point of view against the will of other editors, and for making disruptive changes to the policy without submitting them for formal review. You have a good day.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 12:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I will give you all my arguments when you propose yours in a proper way. I have blocked you again. Please refer yourself to WP:HCP in the meanwhile.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 20:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I was blocked by my opponent User:Mikkalai for removing antisemitic propaganda from the article. Besides I did not formally violate the 3RR rule (he did).--Nixer 20:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

There nwill not be formal games here. you foor times removed several of my edits, most of which are not related to the Lenin issue you contested. You even did not bother to check what are you actually reverting. Your partisan attitude will eventually drive you into big troubele, colleague. `'mikka (t) 20:59, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

On the issue (Bolshevik) itself: I do not see why you want to include the Nazi views in the introduction part of the article. Giving it this much prominence is in fact "antisemitic propaganda".

I do not think what the Nazis thought or said in their propaganda is noteworthy or encyclopedic. It does not deserve mention, except in articles on Nazis and their propaganda. -- Petri Krohn 21:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Mikkalai, I always precisely check what I revert. Only reason why I reverted various your edits is the Nazi propaganda that you include in the article.--Nixer 03:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

You are blocked for 48 hours for blatant disrespect of wikipedia policies and guidelines. You jumped headling into 3RR despite warning. Instead of discussing the issue in the page where it really has to be discussed. Since you are blocked, I initiated the discussion in Talk:Vladimir Lenin for you. If you will not change your "revolutionary" attitude to editing, your blocks will grow longer. `'mikka (t) 20:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

He has not unblocked himself. He is blocked for now. However, you have SUCH a long 3RR history that a 48 hour block is fair. If you wish not to be blocked for so long, stop violating 3RR. Sasquatch t|c 03:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

For the record, you have 12 3RR blocks prior to this one. What part of "Don't violate the 3RR" are you not understanding? Sasquatch t|c 03:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I did not violate 3RR for now. The fact I'm blocked for 48 hours while he's blocked for 24 is the double standard. Better look for which I've been blocked - by such POV-pusher admins that even does not feel necessary to argue their point of view in the talk page. By the way, it is prohibited in Wikipedia for an admin to block his opponent and he should be punished. -Nixer 05:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

If you can prove that he blocked you in bad faith we should speak with other Admins to check this out. --Brasoveanul 10:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Vokzal

There is no such word in English language. What is more, redirect to "terminal station" is plain wrong: "vokzal" in russian language is not the same as terminal. In any case, Wikipedia is not dictionary. We don't want rediects from malchik to boy, zadnitsa to arse or doroga to road. I redirected vokzal to the only article in wikipedia which explains the word "vokzal" in English language context: Vauxhall#The Russian connection. `'mikka (t) 17:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Quantity has a quality of its own...

...certainly is a well-known phrase in English, and is generally attributed to Stalin. Whether this attribution is correct is a different question, and I have no idea if it was used in Soviet times. It does make a lot of sense in a military conflict, though. --Stephan Schulz 20:49, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, this may be a well-known phrase, but in English, not in Russian. If you insist Stalin said this phrase, please say when or where he allegedly said this. And how to translate it into Russian.--Nixer 20:57, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

European flag

I can see where your objections to this name are coming from, but in my opinion moving articles unilaterally without first proposing it on the talk page is a bad practice.

At present, the article nicely explains the origin of the name, and in my opinion makes a good case for using it. Moving it to "Western Europan flag" is of course incorrect as many EU member countries are not in Western Europe. Furthermore, it would suggest that there are other flags ( Eastern European flag etc.) , when in fact there are no other ones, as far as I know.

I think that a case could be made for moving it to European Union Flag or some variation of it.Balcer 22:36, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

"Mass Deletion" Reversion

You made this revert saying I had made a mass deletion. Nothing was deleted; I simply moved a section and added a couple references (as the edit summary stated). Would you care to explain? Or was that just a mistake? -- joturner 17:40, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Your edits in Moscow

I cannot agree with your edits because they contain many weasel words and inaccuracies.

1. What is "world's geographically largest university"? What does it mean?

The University of Moscow is the world's largest university in area, rather than in number of students. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 16:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

2. Metro is not a scientific institution, its busyness should not be placed in intro.

What does the Metro not being a scientific institution have to do with the intro? -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 16:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

3. Number of billionaires also irrelevant in intro.

I was trying to mention something about the economy, but go ahead and use something else. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 16:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

4.Moscow became Summer Olympics site not because its "sport atmosphere" and the atmosphere changed during the 26 years.

Go for a better wording if you want, but the Olympics certainly is an important part of the city (and sports are somewhat important in the article). -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 16:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

5. I cant understand the purpose of your rewording. What do you not like in the existing intro?--Nixer 16:15, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

The original intro was choppy; it had one- and two-sentence paragraphs. The intro is supposed to be a summary of the article and, in my opinion, this intro covers most of the major sections briefly. I also don't see any weasel words. However, feel free to write another intro if you think you have one that is better. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 16:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Unblock notice

Ok, Nixer. The admin who blocked you is on holiday for a fortnight so I can't consult them. However, I will assume good faith and unblock you now based on your promise above. However, I'll tell you now: I will be stalking your edits. If anyone complains in good faith about your editing or behaviour on Wikipedia in the next 6 days, I will simply block you again for a full week. It is in your own interest to edit harmoniously and to avoid trouble in that time. If you find yourself clashing with another editor over anything, disengage immediately. You can always come to my talk page and I will happily try to mediate. But you must not edit war with anyone, for any reason, in the next six days.

I'm releasing the block now on the assumption you will agree to this. ➨ ЯEDVERS 21:14, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

• Nixer, please leave at least the above message in place for the purposes of transparency and openness. Thanks. ➨ ЯEDVERS 13:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• • Hi. You should possibly note the above kind advice. You are obviously going for the big time, conducting edit wars on the World War 2 article of all places. So as the man says, just take it easy. These articles will still be around for a long time yet. There is no hurry. Wallie 12:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• • Me again. If you find yourself clashing with another editor over anything, disengage immediately. Did you read this? And the other parts? Don't keep on calling me out all the time. As far as I am concerned, you don't have to disengage, as I am a big boy and can take it. However, others around can be less accommodating. As far as WW2 is concerned, it is best to take a step back, and try to take a neutral position. Remember if you say something bad about a country, it hurts the people in that country. They can retaliate by saying something bad about your country, and then you will be hurt. You can always give facts, but best to leave the judgemental stuff out. Let the reader make up his/her own mind. Wallie 08:32, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Roitr

I've found the quickest way to get his sockpuppets banned - just report him for obvious vandalism at WP:AIV! It's slightly off rules (you are typically required to issue several warnings), but otherwise the powers that be have shown little interest in tracking activity reports at User:Roitr/sockpuppetry.

Provided that you take your time and provide some evidence from edit histories (like I did in [17] [18] [19] [20]), admins will gladly block him with no furhter warning even if there were no prior warnings. They are usually reluctant to bother tagging him with {{indefblock}}, so that is left upon the reporting person. --Dmitry _{(talk •contibs )} 18:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

It's probably a good idea to begin placing formal warnings as required by WP:AIV then report as outlined above, that is provide a diff which shows similarities in edit patterns - for ex. [21] [22]

Alternatively, you could post to WP:AN/Incidents and complain that admins don't watch WP:LTA/Roitr and take no automatical action when new reports arrive, which defies the purpose of this page.

I'm currently trying to make most out of my few remainting vacation days, so I'm afraid I'm not able to devote too much attention to the matter... sorry. --Dmitry _{(talk •contibs )} 11:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Venusian terraforming

Hello. You recently moved Venusian terraforming to Venerian terraforming citing a more correct form. The "proper" adjective form from latin is "venereal", but as mentioned in the article on Venus, "venusian" is more common.

Stalin Prize winners

Because the Stalin Prize was renamed into the State Prize. The Great Soviet Encyclopaedia never calls a person a Stalin Prize winner, but rather a State Prize winner. Furthermore, you comparison with Noble Prize and Hero of Socialist Labour is not proper, because these awards were exceptions, while the Stalin/State Prize was awarded to dozens people each year. Almost every notable Soviet actor or opera singer would automatically fall into this category. Isn't it enough to mention the fact in the bio? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:17, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I do not insist it to be "Stalin Prize" though there was a delay between Stalin Prize and the new State Prize institution. Saying about the number of winner, it is not a point: there are exist even categories such as "Russian scientist"--Nixer 17:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Revert-warring in Pluto

You and User:Ryulong are both at the limit of 3RR. Revert warring is disruptive. Please take your disagreement to the talk page and agree how to proceed. The next revert from either of you will result in a block unfortunately. Thanks. --Cactus.man ✍ 08:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

He already exceed limit.--Nixer 08:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. Firstly, whether or not anyone exceeded 3RR is dependant on exactly where one measures the starting point of the full revert. From examining the history I deemed you and User:Ryulong to be on exactly 3 full reverts at the time I left my message to you both. The intent was to stop the disruptive revert war, and I'm glad to see that it had the desired effect.

I'm not sure what you mean by saying "...your edit [should be] reverted by an administrator." I didn't edit the article, and I am an administrator. I have no desire to block anyone, but I would have done so if the revert war continued. I see that a report has been filed on WP:AN3, and I'll leave that for the regular admins who deal with that page to resolve. In the meantime I'm glad you've both stopped, and I suggest you engage in some civil and meaningful dialogue with each other to agree acceptable wording. Good luck. --Cactus.man ✍ 09:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I regard this edit to be the first full revert in this petty edit war. The substance appears to be over the paragraph structure, and whether Pluto is referred to as a dwarf planet or a celestial body. You were both on exactly 3 reverts when I intervened. User:Ryulong's subsequent edits have not been reverts, merely edits. He even edited the article to include your preferred wording of celestial body, as well as dwarf planet. Stop this petty squabbling and try working together to improve the article. As far as I can see for now, the revert warring has stopped. --Cactus.man ✍ 10:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

That revert, on some minor wording, is not what I consider to be part of the revert war proper, which I explained above. I am not "supporting" anybody or any particular position, just working to ensure that Wikipedia and the integrity of its articles is not disrupted. I would have blocked either of you had you continued reverting. That the revert war is stopped is a positive thing, would you not agree? I urge you again to work with fellow editors to work things out co-operatively. I have processed your report at WP:AN3 and declined to block User:Ryulong. If you feel aggrieved at this decision you are welcome to take it further with other admins, at WP:AN or via dispute resolution. I would suggest however that you let the matter drop, move on and work towards improving Wikipedia. Thanks. --Cactus.man ✍ 10:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

That edit was the part of the edit war and all the way he continued reverting to the same. The present state of the article is the version by User:Ryulong with all my changes reverted.--Nixer 10:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Nixer, I've explained to you above that I'm not supporting anyone or any particular version of the article, merely working to protect Wikipedia. Please see The Wrong Version for some light relief. I see that you also changed my edit to the result of your posting to WP:AN3 again from "Not blocked" to "No consensus". Please do not do so again, or you will be blocked for disruption. I've explained to you above how to seek further opinion if you feel aggrieved by my decision, please heed it and stop reverting the AN3 decision. Really though, the substantive content of this dispute is so minor, why all the effort over so little, which is now just about the paragraph structuring and minor semantics. Please move on. Thanks. --Cactus.man ✍ 11:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

The matter is just would the rules in Wikipedia work or not. The case is clear and the violation of the rules also. And we see now that the admin sides with the party that violated the rules to protect them.--Nixer 11:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Nixer, I have blocked you for 24 hours for disruption and repeated revert warring on Pluto. It looks as if the revert war has resumed between you and Ryūlóng.

You may still post to your talk page in the meantime and request a review of your block by placing {{unblock}} here on your talk page with your reasons for requesting the unblock. --Cactus.man ✍ 20:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Why some rules work only one way? Why you did not blocked Ryūlóng? You yourself advised me to refer to WP:ANI and now you call this "disruptive behavior"?--Nixer 21:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I have been blocked without notice by an admin User:Cactus.man. Although I have twice reported the 3RR violation by Ryūlóng [23], [24] in the article Pluto, User:Cactus.man sided with the violator refused the both requests and blocked me instead. See also [25]

Decline reason:

Cactus.man has not "taken side", but merely made a decision which doesn't satisfy you (and this makes a lot of difference). If this makes it easier for you, I would have done the same (especially given all the disruption caused around), so either call both of us sided against you or realize you were wrong. Also, don't say it was done "without notice" - you were blocked before and know well that edit warring and disruption are blockable offences. Misza13 21:37, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Reporting the 3RR violation is the disruptintg behavor now? Where I was not right? All my edits were reverted, and when I report the violation by the user, I have blocked instead. It seems the rules completely obsolete in Wikipedia: some users allowed to do what they want and others arent allowed anything.--Nixer 21:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

No, reporting is not disruptive. However, an admin made a decision, but since it wasn't in your favor, you found it fit to change it ([26] & [27]). Since these edits were (obviously) immediately reverted, you brought the issue to WP:AN/I where, despite being advised to drop the issue by multiple parties, you continued your merry way - that's disruption. Please understand this and wait the full block stretch. Misza13 22:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

So I have been blocked for applying to the WP:AN/I? This admin is obviously a friend of Ryūlóng--Nixer 22:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

You are mistaken again. Applying to AN/I was fine, but when other admins ther told you to drop the matter, you didn't and that was disruptive. Misza13 22:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

This block is in the direct violation of the WP:3RR rule, which stands that "In the cases where multiple parties violate the rule, administrators should treat all sides equally"

Decline reason:

A block can hardly be in violation of the 3RR rule. Also, see my reply above. If you continue to abuse the unblock template, this talk page may be protected from editing as well. Misza13 22:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

The sequence of the events.

1. Ryūlóng reverted my edits.
2. Revert war started.
3. When Ryūlóng did third revert, I placed a warning about 3RR on his talk page.
4. Seeing this Cactus.man placed warnings both to my and Ryūlóng's talk pages that he will block any of us who will revert.
5. Dispite the warnings Ryūlóng reverted again.
6. I placed the notice to the Cactus.man's talk page about the violation and placed a report to the AN:WP:3RR
7. Cactus answered in his talkpage that he will let the other admins to manage the case, but himself placed a decline on my request in the AN:WP/3RR saying that the revert-warring was over.
8. Other users reverted Ryūlóng, Ryūlóng reverted back again.
9. I reported this new violation
10. Cactus.man warned me to cease reporting about Ryūlóng's behavior, otherwise I will be blocked, but himself immediately blocked me without any action from my side. It is evident that this warning was a trick to make an image that I was blocked after being warned.

--Nixer 22:58, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

By "other users" I assume you mean Verger who just happened to revert all of the way back to your version and then revert the page move vandalism? And I did not revert back to anything yesterday, I just editted it to where it was a much better written version, one that was free of your apparent poor grammar and constant misspellings. And Cactus.man did not block you immeadiately, you had been warned about filing another 3RR report about me, when it was clear that I was not going to be blocked. You are well knowledged in the rules of WP:3RR, and it just appears that you want to get me blocked for some period of time to make a point. Ryūlóng 03:05, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I have added a 24 hour block for your use of the Verger sockpuppet. JoshuaZ 22:41, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

A word to the wise

You are not making any friends right now. Sockpuppetry is a very bad way to resolve an editorial dispute (actually it's a great way to escalate it into an indefinite block on your account and all subsequent accounts you create). Reviewing your edit history it appears to me that you are well-informed, but overly dogmatic. Wikipedia is not on a deadline, and all disputes can be resolved with patience. If you do not urgently show a commitment to modifying your editing practices, including undertaking not to revert-war, you are very likely to be indefinitely blocked as having exhausted the community's patience. I don't think you want that to happen. It is not uncommon for new users to be blocked a couple of times as they learn the ropes, but there is no sign here that your rate of offending is dropping, and you do not seem to have accepted the fundamental principles of managing content disputes, which is "talk first, edit later".

The situation as it stands is that there is some support for an indefinite block due to persistent edit-warring, and also support for taking this to arbcom. You can probably salvage the situation by showing a commitment to working with, rather than against, those with whom you disagree. If you carry on as you are the future holds nothing but blocks of escalating length, up to and including indefinite. The ball is very much in your court. Just zis Guy you know? 11:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Nixer, I agree with the advice offered above by JzG, you would do well to heed it. I didn't come here to lecture you however, but just to point you to the location of the relevant discussion regarding your editing behaviour and block history. Good luck, please consider all commentary carefully. --Cactus.man ✍ 14:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Response

I am really sorry to hear that you have a bad traffic accident and wish you well.

You are a productive user with all of your contributions made in good faith and with a number of a good quality. On the other hand you have quite a long block list for the 3RR violations. If you are caught next time, with such a block list the next logical step would be a long block measured in weeks not in hours or indeed a community ban. Nobody who are familiar with your contributions wants this, but this is a fact of life. Please stop revert warring, work on the two revert basis. After the second block try to seek a third opinion. If it is Russia-related then an anouncement on P:RUS/NEW maybe an option, you could ask for the third opinion from a user you know (e.g. me), also there is a special board WP:3O, just for the people seeking the third opinion. The third person may help to find a compromise or just support you by his reverts or advise if the battle does not seem worthy. Please avoid the grammatical/stylistic war with the native English speakers like it was with the Pluto and of course, please, never use abusive sock puppets. It is cheating, it makes a lot of additional work to busy people and you usually are caught anyway. In the past sockpuppeting led to permabanning of very productive users, do not go their path.

Happy editing abakharev 23:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

You're right, so it would be better to create a new account with clear history. I though fear it can be determined as mine by similar edit patterns. So I plan to finish my work with Moscow and several other articles and then abandon this account.--Nixer 07:08, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, it does not contradict any policy. You have this right to start anew abakharev 13:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, same as the poster above I don't want to get into a revert war with you on the article about Ceres if possible, especially someone that adds to space articles as much as you do. The problem I have with it is the word 'possibly' because that doesn't really portray much - it's possible we'll be on Mars, Venus, the Moon, Jupiter, just about anywhere before we go to Ceres, who knows. A better way to phrase it might be something along the lines of "some believe that Mars is a necessary stepping stone before getting to Ceres" (well, phrased better than that) so that we can provide a source there and then it will be a sourced opinion as opposed to a "this will possibly happen before colonization of Ceres" which doesn't really say all that much. Later on in the article I will be adding the note on the lower delta-v from Venus to Ceres than from Earth though, but that won't be in the first paragraph since Venus is mostly on the back burner regardless of how I feel about the place. So, how shall we rephrase the first sentence to make it more concrete and less speculative? Mithridates 12:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Eris move

Hi, I can see that you have moved 136199 Eris to Eris (dwarf planet) (and in the past, Eris to Eris (mythology)). However, this move is currently being contested on the article's talk page. If you want, you can make your suggestion there, see other's arguments, and make your own argument. Ryūlóng 08:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Nixer, my friend, what's your problem with dwarfs? --Irpen 09:04, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I made the move since the vast majority of the voters seem to support the move.--Nixer 09:12, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Looks to me that consensus had been reached; I don't see any reason that this move shouldn't take place; discussion on the move seems to have stopped. Nfitz 21:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Your "commentary" at Talk:Dwarf planet/Naming

"It was moved back because Ryūlóng is a member of wikimafia.--Nixer 12:59, 18 September 2006 (UTC)"

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Ryūlóng 04:28, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Nixer, my friend, but really WTF is your problem? Could you just edit like others and stay out of trouble? Don't be a dick!. --Irpen 04:48, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

And never ever move anything without proposing it first, at least informally at the article's talk. Take this advise! It's a good one! --Irpen 07:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

It was already proposed by others and 4:1 consensus established.--Nixer 08:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Your edit at Template talk:Did you know

The opening paragraph of the article says "The national Enlightenment differed from its Western European counterpart in that it promoted further Europeanisation of all aspects of Russian life and was concerned with attacking the serfdom in Russia." Someone just changed the spelling to europeanization in dyk. Or did you mean something else? - Bobet 18:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is unsourced original research. How a european country can be europeanized? I suggest to change it to "westernization".--Nixer 18:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Not that I know much about the subject, but the Europeanisation article itself states that the term refers to general increase in pan-european sentiment rather than just added european influences in other parts of the world, which would make this usage correct. I'll leave your comment up at the template talk page in case someone else wants to change it. - Bobet 18:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Moscow

YOU ARE VANDALIZING IT! i'm working on the article and you're not giving me a chance to finish

User:Fisss

Hi! Can you please stop the vandal.

He uploades copyvio and falsifies licenses. For example here:[28] he inserted in his image a license which was copied from another image (the author explicitely gave me permission for a number of images, it was very long ago).

He now vandalizes the Moscow article without stop, deleting the proper relevant images and inserting his copivio and comletely irrelevant. He also moves images so they appear inproperly. He does not discuss any changes any way.--Nixer 21:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I will look into this, but please note for the future that leaving a message on one admin's talkpage is usually not very effective. For one thing, that admin might not be online. It is best to leave it on one of the admin noticeboards like WP:AIV or WP:ANI. Stifle (talk) 21:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I can't read Russian so I cannot verify that the licensing is incorrect. If you feel that an image may be unfree, add {{PUIdisputed}} or {{imagevio|source URL}} to the image desription page. I don't see how the edits he has made at Moscow are vandalism, but on the other hand you (and he) have violated the WP:3RR in the process. I'm blocking you for 48 hours (bearing in mind that this is something like your 10th 3RR violation, it should by rights be nearer 48 days) and him for 24. Stifle (talk) 22:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

These edits are clear vandalism: he removes the gallery and refuses any discussions. You're not right blocking. me. I've inserted the copyvio notice the image [29]. Blocking nme for different term you violate the WP:3RR rule which states that all users should be treated qually.--Nixer 22:06, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

User:Nixer/Space trade

I have restored the article into your userspace. As it is now it does not look like a helpful article so I am not prepared to wheel war with another admin over this article. On the other hand it indeed can potentially be very good article. Please continue to work on the article in your userspace and after it would be in the condition that nobody would consider it nonsense, then just move it back into the mainspace. Happy editing abakharev 12:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

You would have "won" overturn and listing at AfD had you not chosen to userfy. Once you have completed the article, I will happily procedurally nominate it AfD, preventing any speedy deletions. Don't forget to mention the Ferengi! :) Best wishes, Xoloz 15:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Armenia

Please visit the Talk: Armenia and Talk: Armenians pages http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Armenia&action=edit&section=3 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Armenians&action=edit&section=36 please voice your view on the current discussion, there is a small minority that are promoting and point of view that Armenia is geographically in Europe and Armenians are a European people. It is best to serve the factual truth and your support is desperately needed.

Ceres, "sometimes"

Nixer - so we can avoid an edit war, I've opened a discussion on the lead sentence at Talk:Ceres (dwarf planet). It would be a good idea to expand the discussion, actually, so that we can come up with a strong, cohesive opening line for all of the dwarf planet articles. --Ckatz^chat_spy 01:36, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

Normally, I wouldn't block a user for a move agaisnt consensus. But considering your block log, and this may be a point violation. I am blocking you for 72 hours. Please think your role with Wikipedia over, and come back and contribute with a positive mind and attitude. Yanksox 16:27, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

unblock|Blocked circumventing rules for my point of view without any reason. No WP:POINT or other rules violation. Users should not be blocked for their block logs, it triggers umotivated chain blockings

I've given the rationale behind the block, and you also have experience in being blocked. I'm backing off and letting another sysop look at this. Yanksox 16:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Now you're being non-sensical. You are not being blocked for your block log, however, your previous history does not favor you. Yanksox 16:55, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Note for other administrators handling this case: note that this guy has managed to get 36 previous blocks in barely over a year. [30] Despite a unanimous consensus against doing so, he moved the page Sanhedrin to Synedrion (Judea). He does not know anything about the subject and it seems to me, after looking at this talk page, that he was only interfering there because he knew that people would get mad at him. It seems to me that this guy is here with only one purpose: triggering fights. That seems to be his main occupation on Wikipedia. After 36 blocks, maybe it's time for him to say goodbye forever. (And to top off the list, he is also an established sockpuppeteer.) --Daniel575 | (talk) 17:00, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Please do not judge about other's purposeness. I have more edits than most users in Wikipedia. And my contribution is huge (you can reviw my edit histary). I know well about Sanghedrin and the all topic. You have no right to block people for one edit. Long block history makes admins to feel free to block me (for example, last time I have been blocked for reverting a vandal, which is proven by many other users).--Nixer 17:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I am prepared to unblock you if you acknowledge moving the page against the weight of comments on the talk page was a bad idea, and promise not to act similarly in future. Being excessively bold isn't in itself a problem, but I am concerned this might form part of a pattern of disruptive behaviour. The Land 17:11, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I've unblocked you. Please be aware that your track record of 3rr violations means you need to be very careful to abide by policy and not to make people unnecessarily angry. The Land 17:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you--Nixer 17:54, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

There was a unanimous consensus against moving the article. All other users, even Historian2, opposed your proposed move. First of all, you have not shown any knowledge of the subject involved: you know nothing about it, as far as I can tell. Next, this behavior is well in line with the classical behavior of trolls. When you behave like a troll and your user page and block log show 35 blocks in barely more than a year, that makes your intentions very suspicious. Despite unanimous consensus against moving the article and the fact that the discussion had ended 10 days ago (with a unanimous decision against your proposed move), you just went ahead and did it anyway. This is not civilized. I do not tolerate such behavior. Stay away from that article, unless you can make constructive edits. I am going to keep a very close eye on your contributions, and if you are going to make similar trouble in other Judaism-related articles, you can count on meeting me again. --Daniel575 | (talk) 17:15, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Please do not treat me. I know enough about the subject. Probably we should establish a special rule on naming entities which have both international naming and widely-used local one. It is you whose behavior is very abuseness and at the edge of community'ds patience. You're a known civility breaker and maker of personal attacks.
