If you need to get a chunk translated, you might want to try WP:TIE first. Try to make pasting huge chunks of text onto user pages a last resort. =KiteString= 20:22, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take no personal offence but such moves have to have a consensus via WP:RM, otherwise it will only create a useless edit war. Please follow the wiki guidelines if you wish to move the page and use the talk page of the article to discuss the reasons. --Kuban Cossack 19:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Second that. There are very few cases when you can move articles without discussions. Talk pages are there to raise your conserns. --Irpen 08:00, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't quite understand it. Maybe you mix together democracy and freedom? If you go to the street, you are free to do many things :) nobody cares. Some Americans stay here for quite a long and believe here is more freedom. Anyway there is no police regime here, like that in North Corea. Even in the time of SU it wasn't. Maybe there in Moscow, but Siberia was always more liberal place.

As for democracy, it hasn't yet exist in Russia. The West has delusions about the regime in 1990s, now they're gone, and that's all. There have been many political changes, but everything is much more complicated, not just democracy+freedom=on/off. --Ъыь ^(mailbox) 13:41, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For me it's interesting if you feel ok to walk in the street in Isreal at this time. Does the war affect your everyday life? --Ъыь ^(mailbox) 14:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hi. now the war has ended and we are feel better. anyway, i don't live in north israel but in the center so it didn't affect me anyway.

and for russia, i know you are not like north korea, but in TV and newspapers or internet i always read that now russia is more authoritarian, and that putin takes to himself more and more power, there is no free media (all main tv channels are in state control), putin re-nationalize companies, izvestia which is very important newspaper- the state bought 51% of it's shares. governors are now elected by president, and the first gay's demonstration in moscow was suppressed. by the way i'm doing my english project on the GULAG. Superzohar 18:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

one more thing translate me this please:

• ордена Святого апостола Андрея Первозванного (order of St. Andrew the First Called)
• ордена Святого Георгия I степени (order of St. George, 1st degree)
• Орден «За заслуги перед Отечеством» (order "for the accomplishments for the homeland")
• Орден Мужества (order of courage)
• Орден «За военные заслуги» (order "for military accomplishments" or "for military merits")
• Орден «За морские заслуги» (for naval accamplishments)
• Орден Почёта (order of honour)
• ЗАСЛУЖЕННЫЙ ВОЕННЫЙ ШТУРМАН (this is order or medal?) (this is just a title and a prize. Honoured military navigator. Wow, see it for the 1st time)

• За спасение погибавших (медаль) (medal for saving of dying [people])
• Защитнику свободной России (медаль) (medal "to the defender of the free Russia")

Yes, the centralization of media and taking control over private TV worried us too. As for Izvestia and Sibneft nationalization, any intelligent Russian knows that they had been privatized in 1990-s for ridiculously little sums of money, and now in 2005-2006 they have been bought much overpriced. That's a financial machination.

Well, we care more about the corruption which is persisting and is a part of the political establishment. It's a mode of existence of the governing clan. --Ъыь ^(mailbox) 12:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--Ъыь ^(mailbox) 12:19, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you know, i'm very intersting in the russian military orders and medals. important to say- not red army but the russian federation orders and medals. they are on the principles of the red army's one but they did change no? for example order of lenin doesn't exist today. Орден Почёта wasn't in red army. i have one more question: the famous Victory Order does exist today? and Order of Glory? if it is so i allmost sure that i changed little because there is CCCP on the top of the star of the victory order.

can you please give me the full list of orders and medals just of the russian federation military not the soviet one, i want to know exactly what is left from the soviet period and which new orders and medals came in. Superzohar 12:58, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

it seems you are interested in hoeryong. I would like to help translate the text that you asked to be translated on Komdori's talk page.

I'll come back to the text soon. Good friend100 01:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, sorry. I would guess not, though, since the article says it was used during the Soviet Union and does not mention anything about continued use in modern Russia. Hope you are able to find out somewhere, Dar-Ape 00:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have added some more information at Onsong, mostly from the Korean Wikipedia article ko:온성군 and with a few facts from the external encyclopedia articles under External Links. Is there other specific information you're looking for: Also, it's helpful if you sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes, like this: --~~~~.

Hi Superzohar, Thanks for your interest in Hoeryong. I don't have much time to work on it at the moment. However, there are some good articles in the references section of Hoeryong concentration camp. I added one to a description by a former guard, Ahn Myong Chol, that you may find useful. As for the city itself, there's not that much info available unfortunately. The Hoeryong article has links to Korean encyclopedias, which are about the only real source I know of, although I don't know where their information comes from or how old it is. You might try asking at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Korea as there are several Korean speakers there who could help with the translation. --Reuben 23:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The link is on border towns, but it's in Japanese, so I can only pick out bits and pieces. It seems to describe Ussuriysk, Zarubino, Slavyanka, Posyet, and Khasan. You can also read about a battle there in Battle of Khasan. "Tumangan" is the Russian transliteration Туманган of 두만강, Tuman-gang, i.e. the Tumen River. The railroad bridge between Russia and North Korea runs between Khasan and the Tumangang Workers' District, Sonbong County, Rason Directly Governed City. In the Khasan article you can find map coordinates that will help you get a Google map of the area, and you can see the railroad depot in Tumangang. See also the Tumen River Area Development Project [1], the goal of which seems to be to get more direct access to the sea for Chinese export goods. It's a mystery to me how Mongolia comes into it. Also see some articles about the proposed rail link between Russia and South Korea through North Korea: [2], [3]. It seems to at a perpetual standstill, but the idea's still around. --Reuben 01:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Tumangang Workers' District is right at the border, on the other side of the rail bridge. I'm not sure if it's correct to call it a "town" or not, since it's technically part of a city; but from the satellite image it does look like a town. There appear to be several clusters of houses with a very regular, rectilinear pattern right next to the depot, and farther away there are some more scattered villages near the fields. I'm not really qualified to interpret satellite images beyond that level of sophistication. :-) Here's an interesting article with some background: [4]. --Reuben 18:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please read it carefully :) [5] -- Heptor _talk 16:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your changes to the Russian republics' infoboxes. Per Constitutions of Chechnya and Dagestan, the premier post in both republics is called "Chairman of the Government", not "Prime Minister". Although the latter term is often used in mass media, it is not official. Please let me know if you have questions.

Thanks for uploading Image:Arvids Pelse.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:06, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, was there a discussion about this somewhere and I missed it, or did you move it unilaterally? It seems problematic for a few reasons. First, I believe the official name of the country was the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Second, that name only came into effect in 1960. From 45 to 59, it was just the Czechoslovak Republic. - TheMightyQuill 17:36, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I just saw it and thought that it's better to put the official name, to emphasize the different between the regime today and then. If u think its bad i understand and u are welcome to revert it. Superzohar Talk 19:03, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Arvids_Pelse.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 10:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Uaclogo1-.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Hello. Can you help me find a picture of Onsong town?? Second question, which city is lies on the chinese side of the river, in front of Onsong town? thank you Superzohar Talk 14:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Old photo of Suhangru, pavilion in Jongseong Workers' District
• Images of Namyang Myon from across the Tumen River
• Tumen City is across the Tumen River from Namyang Workers' District, Onsong County
• More pictures: [6] --Reuben 15:41, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The traditional translations for Korean administrative districts don't always match up very well with what those same terms mean in other contexts. Onsong is a kun / "county," meaning a rather large region containing both urban and very rural parts (still much smaller than a Province). Within Onsong kun is Onsong ŭp / "town," an urban center where the administrative offices are. If you bought a bus ticket for "Onsong," that's where it would take you. Namyang is a rodong jagu / "workers' district." These don't have any equivalent in South Korea, and my impression (could be wrong!) is that they are based around a single enterprise or facility. According to this map of Onsong County], Namyang is directly on the Tumen River, has a railroad station, and sits at the point where a rail line from China crosses the river to join the North Korean line. It could well be that the workers' district is there for the train station and customs. You can find out a bit more in Administrative divisions of North Korea. I didn't find any pictures of Onsong-ŭp. --Reuben 19:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation. Is this article about Onsong-up? Superzohar Talk 07:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first pic is from Namyang, in Onsong-kun. However, the article seems to be about propaganda signs you can see from the Chinese border, and doesn't specifically discuss Onsong. By the way, I only have a very basic understanding of Korean. I'm quite happy to help with things I can understand, though. --Reuben 03:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed your edits detailing the funeral arrangements for a number of leading communists. None of this material is sourced, and may have to be removed. I find it bizarre that the following line is repeated in a the Yuri Andropov, Leonid Brezhnev, and Mikhail Suslov: "...'s coffin was lowered into the ground as foghorns blared, joining with sirens, wheezing factory whistles and rolling gunfire in a mournful cacophony. When the noisy tribute had ended, an eerie silence hung for five minutes over Red Square - and the nation" will you be adding this to all such articles?

Hi Superzohar!

You've twice moved the article about broadcasting in East Germany to a title that doesn't reflect its contents.

The article is about broadcasting - television and radio. You are moving it to "communications" - which would, in English, include post, telephones, telegrams and so forth - which the article does not address.

Please don't move it again without getting a consensus, using the requested moves system. Thanks very much! ➔ REDVEЯS would like to show you some puppies 10:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Dmitry Ustinov defense minister.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:15, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your edit to the article Military Police Corps (Israel). However, you were not correct to change the MP base in the kirya, called MP General Staff (מ"צ מטכ"ל) to Chief Military Police Officer Headquarters (מקמצ"ר). I'll add a small clarification to the article. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:16, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About pictures of Bahad 13 - I don't have a good picture of the main yard (רחבת מסדרים), which would be somewhat representative of the base. Other pictures are probably not relevant and superfluous, and moreover, may compromise the security of the base. This is for example why I removed the background from the zinzana picture. If I visit Bahad 13 again with a camera, I may take a neutral picture which would also be relevant to Wikipedia. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:38, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Superzohar, I have some Israel-related questions that you might know the answers to. For whom is the Sandberg Prize named? Is it Mordecai Sandberg? I could not find any information about this in English. If it's named for him, that should be added to the article with a good reference (one in Hebrew would be OK if it's not documented anywhere in English). Also, since he lived in Israel for a significant part of his life, the Hebrew spelling of his name would be welcome. Thanks. --Reuben (talk) 20:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the Hebrew spelling. But what's the source? Are there articles about him in Hebrew that spell his name this way? Or is it just your own transliteration? (In that case we should be careful). Is he known at all in Israel? Thanks. --Reuben (talk) 20:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Superzohar, where did you get all that material you added to the Belarus armed forces article? It would be good to add a source. Cheers and thanks, Buckshot06 (talk) 02:54, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Andropov funeral chernenko ill.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of '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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

I haven't seen mention of Pelše's illness, nor do I remember the Concise Latvian SSR Encyclopedia mentioning anything, but I'll take a look through some Latvian references, might turn up something online. —PētersV (talk) 17:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Googling in Latvian doesn't turn up a whole lot on Pelše, and just about nothing on his personal life. That said, I did find these tidbits of interest:

from [7]

Berklavs' interview fragment

Both Kalnbērziņš and Pelše apparently denounced their first (I would assume Latvian, but can't confirm) wives, who were sentenced in Russia, and married a second time to Russian wives.

Some of Pelše's authority came from family ties, Suslov's wife was a relative of Pelše. Suslov was always Second Secretary and for many years was the ideological and political authority in the LSSR. (After Stalin's death, even as First Secretries changed, Suslov remained a constant.)

from [8]

The purge of nationalists of 1959 was conducted by Pelše (not by Khrushchev from Moscow). —PētersV (talk) 19:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! There's lots more information out there, even in the sources that are already cited, so I think it would be cool to make this a Good Article. You are of course very welcome to join in. The one weak spot is photos. The picture of the train platform may be the only free-license photo of Barvikha out there, and even if somebody living in Moscow were willing to make the trip, I don't think it's possible to simply walk into the sanatorium and start taking pictures. That's too bad, since it's the work of a famous architect. What we can do is work the bare facts into a more smooth-flowing text, and add something about the services provided at the sanatorium. And probably add some more info about the current development, as there are likely to be more news stories out there about it. --Reuben (talk) 18:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please never copy/paste information from one article to another when you need to make a move. I realize you were unable to move "Federal Atomic Energy Agency" to "Rosatom" because the latter had an edit history, but you should have either listed your request on WP:RM or asked an administrator to perform the move for you. In this case, I have reverted your move and done it properly, as well as corrected the double redirects. Please let me know if you have any questions.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on the templates (and articles too, of course)! Your speaker template had almost all the info already; the question marks for Yang Hyong-sop were really 1983, so there's no missing gap. I started an article for him, with basic bio info. --Reuben (talk) 18:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you asking about the youth movement or its reorganization in particular? There's already a decent article on the movement, but no, I don't know anything about its reorganization. I took a look at their web site (pretty discouraging, to put it mildly; I can't really recommend it) and it didn't say anything about the organization dissolving. Just the usual stuff calling anybody who questions Putin or the Soviet liberation of eastern Europe a fascist. --Reuben (talk) 18:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not move such high-profile articles without at least first trying to announce your intentions on the talk page. I moved the article back because its scope is far wider than administrative divisions—it also covers municipal divisions, federal districts, and economic regions, none of which are administrative in nature. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why municipal divisions, federal districts and economic regions are not administrative? Superzohar Talk 15:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and I also forgot the most important part—federal subjects, which, unlike the administrative entities of the RSFSR, are constituent members of the Federation and are by no means "administrative" (although, of course, the whole "vertical of power" concept mocks that idea at the root). "Administrative" divisions are those included in the administrative-territorial structure of the federal subjects. As you see, neither municipal divisions, nor federal districts, nor economic regions fall under that definition.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Superzohar! Here's my understanding about the rail link. The railroad on the NK side and the railroad on the Russian side have different gauges, so there's a "break-of-gauge" at Khasan. That means you can't just send a train over, you have to either offload everything and put it on a different train, or it might be possible to adjust the same train cars to use a different gauge(?). I didn't find any clear details on what's actually done in this case. The line on the NK side is also not a very major line. I think the project people are always talking about is to have a major line straight through without a break-of-gauge, and with considerable improvements on the NK side (and maybe the Russian side too). There was a 2006 date set, but I haven't heard of any progress. It's not too surprising if announcements related to international projects with North Korea turn out to be over-optimistic, or get shelved entirely. Have you found any more recent news articles about it? Personally, I would jump at the chance to go from South Korea through North Korea and through Russia by train. --Reuben (talk) 17:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
