What this page is

Feel free to tell what you think of me, question my actions, my attitude, or my contributions, criticize me, vent out your frustration, file your complaints, or call me any nasty names you want. I solemnly swear not to hold anything you say here against you.

While I reserve the right to remove anything from this page, it is not very likely that I will exercise this right.

2. You commented on my talk saying that I should be criticizing Russians, if I say that Russians should not be allowed to criticize Ukrainians. Well telll your Russians colleagues to stop setting my spelling edits back to the wrong spelling of Kyiv, and I will stop my criticisms of Russians.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmhrycak (talk • contribs)
3. I dont know you nor have I interacted with you in any way that I am aware of, however since you invited criticism I thought you should know that your hedgehog looks stoned.
4. I wonder why you have deleted a link to "PEREVODOV-Omsk" company from the English version of the page about Omsk. Also, we would like to add some links about Omsk sights and landmarks. Will you delete them as well, mister?

   Maybe I will, maybe I won't. It all depends on how well they comply with our external links guideline. The translation bureau website certainly didn't.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); May 31, 2011; 15:49 (UTC)

5. Well, since you invited criticism, I'd like to suggest reading Wikipedia:Banning_policy#Decision_to_ban. #1 there talks about the action occurring re: Abd. Thanks, Dlohcierekim 16:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

   I'm well aware of it. Troikas also operated on legal grounds, you know. When something is morally wrong, it's wrong no matter how many policies the "community" devises to make it look pretty. It's not about this particular case, by the way, it's about principles. I'd oppose a "community ban" of anyone.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 9, 2011; 16:36 (UTC)

   Good answer. I guess I still have some feelings about ABD I need to work out. To return to your analogy, picking the kid up, giving him a swirly, and throwing locking him in the dumpster behind the cafeteria might be disgusting, but it would also be satisfying and in this case, overdue. Sometimes principle gives way to expedience. Dlohcierekim 16:57, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

   In such matters, I'm not a fan of expedience. Lives may not be at stake here, but such hasty actions are still ignoble, base, cruel, dastardly, and overall despicable. Call me a snob, if you want, but I'd rather like to think that my fellow editors are better than that.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 9, 2011; 17:41 (UTC)

6. Hi! You removed the details of the infobox on Donskoye, Tambov Oblast. Well, you are of course absolutely right about the fact that Donskoye is not a town and that it is a selo. However, the most likely location for that rural locality seems to be the one I put when I created the page for it: see for instance the Geonames entry and the associated Google Maps. Moreover, the airport nearby is named after that locality: Tambov Donskoye Airport. I am not a specialist of the rural localities as you are, but why not adding an infobox showing where that locality is on a map? Thanks! -- Denis.arnaud (talk) 06:24, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

   Actually, one doesn't need to be a specialist to blank the values of all parameters one can't fill out or verify :) The infobox was highly misleading because most its parameters were wrong, I had no time to correct them, and having an infobox in a stub consisting of a single line somehow feels like an overkill, so it was simpler just to remove it altogether. The location (and maps)—the few useful features generated by an otherwise empty infobox—are easily accessible via the coordinates. Anyway, if having an infobox on that particular stub is important to you, please let me know and I'll make sure set aside a moment to research and add one.
