September 25

Just a little Russian

I made this edit to the Russian Wikipedia article Пятидесятническое движение в США, which is apparently talking about Pentecostalism in the US. I've gotten a Notification in response to the edit, but it's by someone who's not particularly active here and doesn't mention English competency on his Russian userpage, so I doubt it would help to ask him. So...what's the notification about? Typing in Cyrillic is hard, and I can't simply copy/paste it, but I believe it's properly transliterated poblagodaril vas za vashu pravku na stranitse "Пятидесятническое движение в США". Perhaps it's a Thanks? Perhaps that my edit got approved? Russian uses Flagged Revisions a lot more than we do. Since I transliterated it but didn't get the original letters, I can't send it through a machine translator. Nyttend (talk) 02:04, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't help with the Russian, but I will point out that if you can't copy and paste the text, you can show it by taking a screenshot, uploading it somewhere, and posting a link. (As I understand it, if Wikipedia is where you upload it, you'll then have to request speedy deletion.) --174.88.134.156 (talk) 02:17, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is exactly equal to the same "thanks notification" as in English Wikipedia: "%username% thanked you for your edit on [the page] %pagename%".--Lüboslóv Yęzýkin (talk) 03:11, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't resist using the Thanks, even though I prefer sending an actual note instead :-) I started writing "I wonder if there's a way to get the software to give me information in English", but the very act of writing the question reminded me that it's possible to change the interface language. Done, and now I see Slivkov vitali thanked you for your edit on "Пятидесятническое движение в США". I wish I'd remembered that this was an option. Nyttend (talk) 03:49, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
