Ah, indeed. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:09, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Any luck with that Yemen diss?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:22, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Russavia. You have new messages at Yalens's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I noticed that you commented on the Adam Kontras AFD page. Since the AFD page conversation has been leaning to the references and claims being not notable, as per Wikipedia standards. Should there not be a discussion on the pages that are used to reference this issue of notability as well. I found that on the 'Duke Fightmaster show' page there is an interview refenced where in said interview it was stated that Wikipedia was the source of the interviewers assumption that Kontras is the 'first video blogger'. If the Wikipedia standards for notability are not followed on his page, then this link on The Duke Fightmaster show is equally not notable. Further on the 'video blogging' page, there are references to Kontras being 'The first video blogger' and this is supported by equally dubious references. Should not all of these claims be removed and/or discussed until such time as notability may be established? I tried to get this into a discussion forum for removal, and anything I attempt gets reversed, and then I am attacked for vandalism. I do feel very passionate (perhaps too much so) about this and would just like to see the record put in order as to all of this, and have verifiable sourses, and notability issues addressed as per Wikipedia standards. Any help you could provide will be greatly appreciated. 24.125.217.58 (talk) 17:44, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
I'm no copyright expert, but if File:The Motherland Calls.jpg were public domain, it could be uploaded to commons. However, the photograph is actually a derivative work of the sculpture, which is copyrighted and not in the public domain. Thus, the uploader never could release his image into the public domain, since he lacked the rights required to do so – see Commons:Derivative works.
We can of course ask at WP:MCQ if you think I'm wrong. Cheers, Amalthea 21:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

... which is pretty much what {{Non-free 3D art}} says too, although that one is specific to US law, so doesn't completely apply here. Amalthea 22:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

enwp accepts images based upon their status only in the US - in the US this file has been released into PD; commons only accepts images based upon their status in both the US and their country of origin - in the US the file is PD, but it can't be in Russia - hence it is not suitable for commons, but based upon enwp policies it is PD in the US and able to be uploaded here without any rationales, except for the boilerplate advising it can not be moved to commons due to non-compliance with Russian law - all images from Russia which have been deleted in the past from Commons are eligible to be uploaded to enwp upon this basis. --Russavia ^{I'm chanting as we speak} 09:36, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't think so, who says that? Yes, enwp only requires compliance with US Florida laws, but even there it has to be considered a derivative work of the copyrighted statue. Thus, it requires authorization from the copyright holder of the statue, which we don't have, and can't have been released into PD.
I've asked for more opinions on WP:MCQ though. Amalthea 09:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See my response at WP:MCQ. Russavia, your understanding is ever so slightly wonky. En:wikipedia will accept content that is not free in its mother country, but you cannot license it as free, even if it is PD is the US of A. In this case, the photographer hasn't committed a copyvio, as they did not take the image for commercial purposes and so don't need the artist's permission (limited russian freedom of panorama), but she cannot grant a free license to the photo, as she took it under a constrained permission. The image should be tagged {{Non-free 3D art}} with an additional explanation on the page and in the FUR that while taking the photo was not a copyvio, the photographer cannot release their image because of the terms of the Russian copyright act. Elen of the Roads (talk) 12:59, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, Russavia, US Freedom of Panorama does not apply to fine arts (UK Freedom of Panorama does), so if the image was in the US, you couldn't take a PD photo of it either.Elen of the Roads (talk) 13:47, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Smolensk Airbase has recently been moved from "Smolensk (air base)". The latter is the way most other articles about the airbases are titled. Neither variant is close to what the airbase is really called. Interested in sorting it out?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 14, 2010; 13:16 (UTC)

Hey, couldn't help but notice the lists you've been working on, such as this one. Lemme know if you could use the texts of the laws to add intros and to source these—I know you've been dying for more work with those "cite Russian law" templates! Ain't them a joy? :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 14, 2010; 13:36 (UTC)

Russavia- I finished that template--it looks exactly the same as on Commons--I had to make another template for Template:Cc-by-3.0, because the one on 'Pedia only covered images. I created another one called Template:CC-by-3.0-Works, so it would cover everything, not just images, and used the same source coding as the CC-by-3.0 on Commons. If you want, instead of replacing Template:Kremlin.ru with Template:Kremlin.ru/sandbox, I could make it so where it would only appear on certain ones, a "test" of the template.

BTW-I also e-mailed this to you

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Mass killings under Communist regimes. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mass killings under Communist regimes (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:03, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Putin never ceases to amaze the audience - if you haven't read today's Kommersant, here's the link. LMAO.

I haven't been able to access Kommersant from my internet connection for the last 3 weeks; something has gone amiss and it pissing me off. Can you possibly send the lulz to me via email if possible? Cheers, --Russavia ^{I'm chanting as we speak} 06:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
