I have yet to tell you how my account was born. LOL. I posted somthuing in the village pump two days ago, and was suspected of being a sock puppet. But, enough with that. I am now currently trying to expand the article on Bronnitsy ( my Russian hometown) by translating it from Russian to English.

Well, best of luck with the translation! This kind of work is always appreciated. If you need help or have questions, don't hesitate to post on WT:RUSSIA, or feel free to contact me directly. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:30, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Adoption offer

Hello! My name is Strdst grl, and if you are interested I would be happy to adopt you. You can find out more about me through my user page and my userboxes, and you can reply to this message either at my talk page or my adoption page. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 16:32, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

If you would rather wait for a specific editor (I don't mind if you do), I suggest you post messages asking about adoption to their talk pages and add the adoptme template back on to your user page to show you are still waiting for more offers. Then you can get back to me in a few days if nothing comes of it. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 09:39, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, I don't really know why I asked to be adopted. To be certain, my questions have already been answered by me staring at the MoS page for 5 hours. So, I don't see the need for it.

re Redirecting a skeleton

Hi. I am unable to redirect an ip account page. This is because the ip is not tied to you, the editor, and may be used by another editor at some future date. The notice on the ip talkpage notes that it belongs to an ISP's pool, so this is quite likely. As long as you edit appropriately with this account, then there is no need to look at edits from earlier ip addresses. I hope this answers your query.

Metro list

Hi, Buggie! I think your best bet would be to present this new format at WP:SOVMETRO. I am not a member of that project, but I think its participants would be interested to look at your proposal.

If you want my personal opinion, though, I think that upgrading the list is a good idea overall, but I don't quite like the implementation. For my tastes, there's too much pink, the table borders are too thick, the navigational template could use some cleanup, and the table layout still needs work. But I think you are on the right track with this. Hope this helps. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:41, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Help with navbox on article

{{helpme}} Navbox on User:Buggie111/List of Moscow metro stations (v2.0) was once small, off to the side, perfectly fine. Now it's messed up. I moved it to the bottom so as not to mess up the page. Any help? Buggie111 (talk) 21:22, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't see any problem with it; but if it is supposed to be smaller, can you give me the link to the original template? (Assuming that there was an original template in the template namespace that was smaller and off to the side.) Cheers – Samwb123^{T (R)-C-E} 23:43, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

In regards to your question on my talk page, I think when in doubt bring it up on the contest talk page. This first month we'll probably be making a few 'rules' up as we go so it is probably the best idea to have input from everyone that is participating. By opinion by the way is to give yourself the points. It's all in good fun and whatever keeps folks motivated enough to work on the backlog is a good think. J04n(talk page) 21:14, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

re:Battle of the Arges

Greetings, I think that a proper name for such an article would be "Battle of the Arges". Unfortunately, the amount of reliable English sources regarding Romania in World War I is very limited so it would be almost impossible to make a broad article on this topic. Feel free to create the article, add as much info as you can, and I'll promise to look over it and try to improve its quality. Regarding your adminship offer, I wish to thank you for it but I'll be forced to decline since my wiki-time is currently very limited and I'm considering even not to candidate for another term as a WPMILHIST coordinator. Thanks and best regards, --Eurocopter (talk) 20:59, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

re: Your Edits to Nagato class

Your fix of that really clumsy sentence was good, but you lost some content there. That treaty prohibited the building of new battleships with one minor exception, except to replace old ones. So both the US and Japan (probably Great Britain also, but I haven't read that much about British battelships) did extensive rebuilds of most of their existing ships. I'm going to edit your edit and see what you think, but possibly not today.--Busaccsb (talk) 19:08, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

So you mean it allowed rebuilding of war losses? Haven't really read the article. Buggie111 (talk) 19:37, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

A link to the full text of the treaty can be found on the Washington Naval Treaty page. The treaty was pretty amazing. It stipulated a 5:5:3 ratio of capital ship tonnage for the US, Britain, and Japan and stipulated exactly which ships (by name) were to be kept and which were to be scrapped. Almost all capital ships under construction were to be scrapped. A couple were allowed to be completed to their original design, and a couple were allowed to be completed as carriers. Construction of only two new ships was authorized: the Britis were allowed to build two ships (the Nelson) class. These and all future capital ships were limited to 35,000 tons. All the ships to be kept were allowed to be scrapped and replaced after 20 years (and this is spelled out ship by ship). In case of accidental loss, a ship could be replaced immediately. As for modernizations, the treaty also spelled out what kinds of modernizations were allowable, and this had a tonnage limit. --Busaccsb (talk) 23:14, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Your comment on BigDom's RfA

I was surprised to read In other words, your how (this editor) should look like. This reads to me as a personal attack on the editor which you named - and seems unnecessary to the RfA it was placed on.

I wouldn't object to you contacting the named editor and making a comment along those lines on their talk page, but I feel that it is inappropriate on the above RfA, and so I would like to ask that you remove that part of your support (rather than to strike it out, as then it would still be there) - I may agree with your sentiments, but BigDom's RfA is not the place to put it!

Regards, -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 09:10, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Incidently, I know I have made a comment about another editor's neutral vote which could be seen as approaching a personal attack, but the difference is that the editor has (a) left a !vote (b) will be watching the page, and can respond. The editor you linked to in your comment has not commented on the RfA, and may not do so, so we have no way of knowing if they will see your comment and have the opportunity to respond to it if they should want to do so.

I thought I'd add this, as I don't want you to think that I'm being hypocritical! If the other editor had left a !vote or a comment on BigDom's RfA, I would not have contacted you. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 11:10, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Apologies. I'll reqord that vote. I really did not want to make a personal attack. I just ment that he's a good role model. Buggie111 (talk) 14:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

No worries! Although you might want to leave it until you see if BigDom gets adminship - then you can use him as an example! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 16:47, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

RE:Samwest

If we can get it to the point of being a viable article, I'm all for including it. As for Paris, that's somewhat peripheral to Normandy, which officially ended with the closing of the Falaise Gap on 21 August.

Oh wow, I'm not sure I'm the right person for this task. I'm neither a metro enthusiast, nor an engineer, nor even really a techie, and that section uses a lot of very specialized terminology.

Article redirects

When you are redirecting articles, be sure to go back and blank the talk pages, and not to leave a redirect on the talk pages. Otherwise the redirects will still show up as assessed articles in the assessment categories of the wikiprojects. -MBK₀₀₄ 23:10, 26 March 2010 (UTC) Ok. Sorry. Buggie111 (talk) 23:10, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Most wikiproject banner templates allow for an "NA" class and some even a "Redirect" class, so it's not necessary to blank the talk page, and definitely not advisable if there's any existing discussion history on the talk page. -- œ^™ 09:19, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you'd translated the Norwegian, but it looks like a machine translation?

SMS Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand

IMHO, you should nominate it for a GA now. I've gone through it and fixed several issues that would result in a quick fail (periods and commas after the citation, inconsitencies ect..) I've even added a few citations myself and expanded the last paragraph a very little bit. I think that this article is good to go.--White Shadows ^{you're breaking up} 17:17, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Regina Elena

I was updating the Regina Elena infobox to include conversions and noticed that Jane's Battleships differs significantly from Conway's which is what I used. I'm going to bring this up at the OMT talk page so we can get other people to check their sources as I'm not sure that Jane's isn't just a reprint of the contemporary wartime (and unreliable) volumes of Jane's Fighting Ships. I had planned to work on this class this week as I told you when I said that I had no plans for the Franz Ferdinand. My normal policy is not to claim a ship or class until I'm ready to work on it, but you've claimed a number well in excess of your ability to work in the immediate future. Please trim back your plans to include only those ships that you can write about now. You can always reclaim them whenever you're ready to work on them if nobody else has started work. Please note that my name and Parsecboy's may be all over the page, but only on articles we've worked on or plan to shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:56, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I know, mister 50 GA writer. I didn't really want to be "Just like the big league players", but basically just thought that getting a couple of facts into one-sentance stubs wouldn't hurt. I'll trim down a lot (heck with it, a gets me another wiki-space edit). And also, I'll try to either a.Get the Conway's book or b.) cut back on Armament citing from Janes and only use it for history (which it describes in a very short and annoying manenr). See ya, Buggie111 (talk) 01:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

French battleship République (1902)

do you want to help me out with this one? We can get it to a DYK then a GA in a week or so. Just be sure to allow me to add stuff in as well! I call adding in sources from teh external links that are already in the article and you can...well I'm not sure but my library on French warships is somewhat lacking so those are the only sources I've got to use while you seem to own several books on the subject.

Oklahoma

Hey man, thanks for your additions to USS Oklahoma (BB-37)! However, could I ask you to add page numbers in place of the chapters? The "Chapter" field is meant for individual sections of books (something like the country sections in Conway's), and page numbers are required for any assessment of B or above. Thanks! :) —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 04:12, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Sure, thanks for the pointer. Buggie111 (talk) 18:48, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and one more thing: the book's language is English, no |language= is required in the template, as it is assumed. If you want, I'd be happy to collaborate with you on this article in the summer. I did write USS Nevada (BB-36), after all... ;) —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 19:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

In the summer, I'll be here, my Russian hometown, with nearly no opportunity to edit. We could do so now, or in late July. Either is fine. Buggie111 (talk) 19:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

1.5 weeks. Hmmm, that's about a week before my check in date for my book. So what, I'm fine with that. I can't get it right now, as I'm going to have to leave in 10 minutes. You've got too many exams to start this later today? Buggie111 (talk) 19:17, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

GAN backlog elimination drive - 1 week to go

First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator Wizardman, I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this Signpost article about what this drive has achieved so far. We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns. See you at the finish!

Thank you for your participation in the April 2010 GAN backlog elimination drive

GAN backlog elimination drives chart up to 1 May On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive. 661 total nominations were reviewed. 541 of them passed (~81.8%), 97 (~14.7%) failed, and 23 (~3.5%) ended on hold. The WP:GAN page started at 110,126 bytes length on 1 April and ended at 43,387 bytes length at the end of 30 April (a 66,739 byte reduction in the page, about 60.6% less). Excluding extremes, the longest wait for someone's GAN to be review was about 11.5 weeks at the beginning. (I mistook the figure when I reported to the Signpost that it was 13.) At the end, with the exception of one that was relisted, the longest wait is now at 10 days. 63 different users participated, each having completed at least one GAN, with others also having helped out behind-the-scenes in making the drive a success. The drive started with 463 GA nominations remaining and 388 unreviewed. At the end of the month, we ended with 89 remaining (374 or about 80.8% less) and 47 unreviewed (341 or about 87.9% less). For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia.

Start class to GA

Is there some reason why you're bypassing a B-class assessment and going directly to GA? The more eyes on an article the better it will be. Especially with typos, etc. And you've missed one major sortie in the Viribis Unitis article.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:02, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I"ll withdraw. What is that sortie, the sinking of the Istvan? Buggie111 (talk) 21:47, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the one. I'm not saying that you should withdraw your current nominations, but I'd strongly suggest going over them again to catch the little stuff like typos, incomplete citations, etc. Don't be in such a rush to get a GA in the future; like many things articles are often better the more time that you spend with them. The extra time allows you to go through them and see what you actually wrote, versus what you meant to say.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:34, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
