Welcome to my user page. If you need to contact me, please leave a note on my talk page or email me; however, I may be not respond quickly via email in that case it is advisable, in urgent matters, to do both. My contributions on Wikipedia largely focus on all things pertaining to Ukraine and Ukrainian, however every now and then I venture outside these fields.
If you're new and interested in developing Ukrainian content on English Wikipedia, drop by the Portal:Ukraine, which by the way has featured status. Another coordinating resource is the WikiProject Ukraine.
Advice: if you create a new article, post it immediately at Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements. This will alert others to your work who may help proofread and develop your entry.

I, dima, hearby award you this raspberry medal for your wonderful contrubutions to Ukraine-related articles, particularly your recent Bendery Constitution article, which was featured on Wikipedia's Did you know...? section. Keep up the good work! —dima 23:19, 18 August 2006 (UTC)]]
I hereby award you the both halves of the, so called "Half Barnstar" whose name should not mislead anyone into being anything but a full award. This is "for your excellence in Cooperation, especially for productive editing together with someone who holds diametrically opposed or simply different viewpoints". There are too many articles to name (or even remember) where you displayed such attitude and I would rather just state the obvious and give you this well-deserved award. Keep up the good work! --Irpen 08:06, 16 March 2008 (UTC).
I hereby awarded you the Ukrainian National Award ‘The Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky - 3rd degree’ for your enthusiasm and dedication to Ukrainian topics and especially for reverting edits of people who wanna do strange things to articles like trying to make people believe there are no Tatars in Crimea..... Wikipedia should tell the facts, not fantasies, because of patrolling like yours the facts will stay! - Thanks! Mariah-Yulia (talk) 22:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC) .
Congratulations! Here's a medal for you in appreciation of your hardwork in creating, expanding and nominating 25+ articles for DYK. Keep up the good work, Riurik, there are more Ukrainian topics! --Victuallers (talk) 16:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
