Arcadia Olenska-Petryshyn
[edit]I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Arcadia Olenska-Petryshyn, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 172.145.243.196 14:25, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Daniel Kluger
[edit]A tag has been placed on Daniel Kluger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit]Good morning to you Doctor, my regards from Campora San Giovanni. I write you regarding the article on my village native, if for great courtesy you would be able tradurlre in Russian and Ukranian, since many Russian and Ukranians work here in the village, the women as agricultural laborers and the men as masons and carpenters, besides this my country deals a lot with the Countries of the Former Unione Soviet and Countries of East Europe, therefore it is necessary that for the commerce, an article is had on Campora in these languages.

[edit]Done with a few weeks of delay and some small error, can I ask you kindly now if you can translate in Belorussian the articles Martin Weinek and Kaspar Capparoni? And Capparoni in Ukrainian? They are the actors of a note television series in the whole Europe: Kommissar Rex, that thanks to Rai International it is famous in 150 countries. Naturally if I am able they are to your disposition with Italian! Thanks also for what you have done for Campora San Giovanni.

Caste system among South Asian Muslims
[edit]Hi, the article Caste system among South Asian Muslims wasn't written by me -- I just forked the content from the article Indian caste system, since it had become really huge. I am not much knowledgeable about the topic, but I don't think Al Qaeda or any of the affiliated groups have every spoken about the social stratification in the South Asian Muslim society. utcursch | talk 03:13, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- Most of my work on non-English Wikipedias has been limited to adding images and interwiki links. I'm well-versed with only 3 languages: English, Hindustani (Hindi-Urdu -- I can't read Nastaʿlīq script of Urdu, though) and Marathi. I can understand Punjabi, Bhojpuri, Konkani, and Gujarati.
- I don't have any statistical data on the number of languages that an average Indian citizen knows, but all of my acquaintances know at least two languages. Most of them are well-versed with three or four languages.
- Almost all education boards in India make it mandatory for students to study at least two languages (usually English + regional language/mother tongue). Many have a mandatory third language as well (usually Sanskrit in Hindi-speaking regions, Hindi in some non-Hindi regions). Many students choose French as the third language, since it is considered a high-scoring subject. So, almost all educated Indians end up learning a minimum of three languages.
- You can read portions of the book 'Multilingualism in India' (Google Books). utcursch | talk 04:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
- Many months ago when I was on Wikibreak you asked a question about this subject on my talk page. I saw it only recently and regret that I did not reply in a timely manner. I have no information on the question you asked. Best regards, Buddhipriya (talk) 03:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Yaroslav Kislyakov
[edit]I have nominated Yaroslav Kislyakov, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yaroslav Kislyakov.

Dmitri- I must humbly beg your pardon for being remiss in checking my Discussion page- somehow I must have missed the notification of a new message and I just discovered it... Please accept my apologies- I'll be happy to take a look at the article, although I'll confess that Urnfield Culture is not one of my specialities...

Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello Dmitri Lytov! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 329 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Cypriot scripts
[edit]Hi
Well spotted ! :¬)
Even though I spent a good hour on that article last year I didn't catch that mistake. Can you also do a check to make sure that at the site mentioned, Ras Shamra, the writing is actually Cypro-Minoan or is it Cypriot syllabary they found?
Obviously if it is incorrect we will need to correct it and I am busy on Viking weaponry for the next 2 hours or so...
Thanks...Chaosdruid (talk) 17:02, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi Dmitri. Thanks for taking a look at Celtic Luxembourg. I must say, though, I was a bit surprised at your change of title to Pre-Roman Luxembourg. The passages in the article explaining previous traces of inhabitants are only included for general background. The whole thrust of the article is about the Celts and the archaeological sites where evidence of Celtic civilisation has been found. If I had wanted to write an article about Pre-Roman Luxembourg, I would have devoted much more effort to covering indications of earlier inhabitants. Don't you think it would be appropriate to go back to Celtic Luxembourg? -- Ipigott (talk) 11:00, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for replying so fast. As I have no previous experience of renaming an article, I would very much appreciate your taking care of the mechanics. Thanks in advance. -- Ipigott (talk) 12:58, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Adding references
[edit]Hi
Glad to see you are back again
You have added several references to article on Cyprus and I wondered if you had had time to look up how references should be done
In general we would use the Wikipedia:Cite#Inline_citations or Wikipedia:Citing_sources#How_to_format_citations (see here Wikipedia:Citing sources)
The general way you are doing it is to add the books at the end, without any page numbers etc and you should look here for more info on that format Wikipedia:Cite#Parenthetical_referencing
Any questions feel free to ask :¬)
Chaosdruid (talk) 17:29, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- I know you want those to be included as general info on the topic but I don't know if the references section is the best place for them.
- It may be that they should be in a section called "Further reading" or something similar
- I also noticed you corrected the mistake "Cyprus syllabry" to "Cypro-Minoan" - Nice one!! Yet again that was one I had not spotted - Do you have some expert knowledge in the field or are you just well versed from personal interests ?
A Question Regarding the Warao People
[edit]Hello Dimitri Lytov,
I am researching the Warao people (with some particular interest in the health needs). I noticed that you made two changes on the Warao People entry <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warao_people> on December 15, 2008. I also notice that you have interest in indigenous peoples and linguistis. Do you know any more information about the Warao? (Especially, do you have any contacts in the delta - especially any who practice medicine?)
I see myself involved in medical aid with them several years down the road. So, this is not a "school project". This is a "life course" project. Thanks very much for the time.

Some replies
[edit]Hi,
I read your suggestions. A lot of them are very good, with some of them I disagree. A wiki page is not really a convenient place to have a discussion about them - there are better places for that.
The most important thing is that you should make these suggestion not on your user page, but on other forums, where people will actually see them.
You should split this big document into separate suggestions, and then bring them up one-by-one on the following forums:
- wikitech-l mailing list - good for discussions of new ideas or for questions about programming MediaWiki
- bugzilla: - good for reporting particular bugs or making clear though-out enhancement requests.
- live discussion in one of the IRC channels (read the list of channels and find what subject suits you)
If you want to help with actually doing these things, consider also contacting Sumana, the Wikimedia Foundation's Engineering Community Manager. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 14:41, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

ru:проект:Канада
[edit]Привет, Dmitri. I ended up at the Russian Wikipedia for some reason or another and I came upon ru:Проект:Канада. I see that there is a small group of you working on a large number of articles, and there is a lot of room for additions to be made. Now, I don't know much Russian at all—I only really know the alphabet and a few words, so I can't contribute directly. However, I would be happy to help if there's anything I can do, and it may be helpful to have an anglophone Canadian available to assist. If you think that I may be able to help in some capacity, please pass it along to the other members of the project there who may be willing to work with me. (I see that there's several проект:Канада members who have listed en-3, but I didn't think it was appropriate to offer there if I couldn't do it in Russian.) BigNate37(T) 09:37, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Tin Cathedral
[edit]Hello Dmitri, If you get a chance, I was wondering if you might take a look at my Russian translation of my Wikipedia article: Tin Can Cathedral. Православная церковь всероссийского патриаршества. This is the title the Russian Wikipedia gave the article. I am not fluent in Russian, but the Russian Wikipedia thought it was good enough to let it stand. (I used the Ukrainian translation to work from.) The Russian Wikipedia has asked me to try to improve the language. I've tried for a couple of months, but can't find anyone in my region fluent in Russian. Would you be able to help me with this? Nicola Mitchell Nicola Mitchell (talk) 02:10, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello Dmitri, Thank you for getting back to me. I understand that you are busy. There is no hurry on my part. After trying to find someone to help me with this for a few months, I'm just happy that you will take a look at it at some point. Once you've looked at it, if you can help, then whichever way you proceed will be much appreciated. The article can be easily reloaded, footnoted and referenced, and internally linked again. This I can do easily. My biggest problem is a good Russian language version of it. I did use Google to help me, but translated from the Ukrainian. Ukrainian was my first language before I could speak English, but even now as I use it so little the Ukrainian Wikipedia helped me with it. The Ukrainian language version is a good translation. I put up the article first in English a year ago this month. Thank you again for offering take a look, NicolaNicola Mitchell (talk) 12:14, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Language-population update project
[edit]Hi. The 18th edition of Ethnologue just came out, and if we divide up our language articles among us, it won't take long to update them. I would appreciate it if you could help out, even if it's just a few articles (5,000 articles is a lot for just me), but I won't be insulted if you delete this request.
A largely complete list of articles to be updated is at Category:Language articles citing Ethnologue 17. The priority articles are in Category:Language articles with old Ethnologue 17 speaker data. These are the 10% that have population figures at least 25 years old.
Probably 90% of the time, Ethnologue has not changed their figures between the 17th and 18th editions, so all we need to do is change "e17" to "e18" in the reference (ref) field of the language info box. That will change the citation for the artcle to the current edition. Please put the data in the proper fields, or the info box will flag it as needing editorial review. The other relevant fields are "speakers" (the number of native speakers in all countries), "date" (the date of the reference or census that Ethnologue uses, not the date of Ethnologue!), and sometimes "speakers2". Our convention has been to enter e.g. "1990 census" when a census is used, as other data can be much older than the publication date. Sometimes a citation elsewhere in the article depends on the e17 entry, in which case you will need to change "name=e17" to "name=e18" in the reference tag (assuming the 18th edition still supports the cited claim).
Remember, we want the *total* number of native speakers, which is often not the first figure given by Ethnologue. Sometimes the data is too incompatible to add together (e.g. a figure from the 1950s for one country, and a figure from 2006 for another), in which case it should be presented that way. That's one use for the "speakers2" field. If you're not sure, just ask, or skip that article.
Data should not be displayed with more than two, or at most three, significant figures. Sometimes it should be rounded off to just one significant figure, e.g. when some of the component data used by Ethnologue has been approximated with one figure (200,000, 3 million, etc.) and the other data has greater precision. For example, a figure of 200,000 for one country and 4,230 for another is really just 200,000 in total, as the 4,230 is within the margin of rounding off in the 200,000. If you want to retain the spurious precision of the number in Ethnologue, you might want to use the {{sigfig}} template. (First parameter in this template is for the data, second is for the number of figures to round it off to.)
Dates will often need to be a range of all the country data in the Ethnologue article. When entering the date range, I often ignore dates from countries that have only a few percent of the population, as often 10% or so of the population isn't even separately listed by Ethnologue and so is undated anyway.
If Ethnologue does not provide a date for the bulk of the population, just enter "no date" in the date field. But if the population figure is undated, and hasn't changed between the 17th & 18th editions of Ethnologue, please leave the ref field set to "e17", and maybe add a comment to keep it so that other editors don't change it. In cases like this, the edition of Ethnologue that the data first appeared in may be our only indication of how old it is. We still cite the 14th edition in a couple dozen articles, so our readers can see that the data is getting old.
The articles in the categories linked above are over 90% of the job. There are probably also articles that do not currently cite Ethnologue, but which we might want to update with the 18th edition. I'll need to generate another category to capture those, probably after most of the Ethnologue 17 citations are taken care of.
Jump in at the WP:LANG talk page if you have any comments or concerns. Thanks for any help you can give!

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Konstantin Shteppa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SD. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Texidium
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Texidium, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
