Picture of the day.jpg)
Nigeen Lake is a mildly eutrophic lake located in Srinagar, in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. It is sometimes considered to be a part of Dal Lake and is connected to it via a narrow strait. This panoramic photograph shows the west bank of Nigeen Lake, with houseboats lining the shore. Hari Parbat, a hill overlooking Srinagar, is visible to the left of centre, and the snow-capped Pir Panjal Range can be seen in the distance.Photograph credit: KennyOMG; edited by UnpetitproleX

Battles
Kirill, why are you switching categories from "Battles of Romania" to "Battles of Wallachia" ? bogdan | 14:59, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
- I answered at User talk:Bogdangiusca 15:16, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
Kirill, thanks for the welcome, and I hope to contribute! Old Windy Bear
- Thanks for the positive feedback & tidying up my work.If you need help researching, typing etc, I'll gladly do it, (for a minor fee of course...that was a joke...).Spawn Man 02:48, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
Invitation
Hi there, Kirill! Your name tells me that you might be interested in adding your articles on Russian/Soviet history at Misplaced Pages:Wikiportal/Russia/New article announcements. Also, check out the Misplaced Pages:Wikiportal/Russia as a whole. The main page rarely sees any changes, but the New Article Announcement section sees a lot of action. Happy editing! KNewman 04:42, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
Categorisation errors
Ok thanks, that saves me half the problem, anyway :) GeeJo (talk) 23:47, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
Battles and year categories
I see that you have been editing in year categories into a number of American Civil War battles. I believe the intent of whoever set this up was that the campaign categories would be subcategories of the year, not individual battles. For instance, Category:Battles of the Prairie Grove Campaign of the American Civil War is a subcategory of Category:1862. Hal Jespersen 16:21, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- I was not clear earlier: I believe this is the intent, although it has been very poorly executed and only a few of the campaign categories currently include the year category. But it would be simpler to correct that than to edit the hundreds of battle articles. Hal Jespersen 17:40, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
Categorization
Thank you for your tireless work on the re-categorization of battle articles. I should remind you that Battles of England does not cover post-Union (1707) articles. Albrecht 18:47, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- I would like to second that - Thank you very much for your work on recategorizing battles. I have been waiting months for some kind of consensus to be reached on this, so that we can finally start editing and altering battle articles... LordAmeth 13:33, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
- Question: On your edit of Category:Battles of Japan, you indicated that this category covers battles starting in the 10th century. I would argue that we should start with the beginning of either the Yamato period (3rd century) or the Nara period (710). What is your logic behind choosing the 10th century? And if we do end up sticking with a later date (710 or the 10th century), then what do you suggest we create as a category for earlier battles? Thanks for your thoughts. LordAmeth 00:17, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
Flying Elephant
Hello Kirill! Thank you for your kind comments about the additions I made to your Flying Elephant article (which, I might add, was perfectly well written as it was, so I avoided altering the existing text as much as I could). I will certainly follow your suggestion to post the images in WikiCommons - as soon as I figure out how to do so! Given that your knowledge of such an obscure vehicle implies a considerable interest in Great War armour, you may be interested in visiting this site: Landships Cheers!

Thank you very much for the trouble you have taken. Let me congratulate you once more on your tireless efforts. Albrecht 21:34, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
Helping hand:
Just so you know, I have been slapping the
on every single battle talk page I can find to help you out a bit on promoting our Wikiproject Battles... As I said earlier, you're doing an awesome job on everything. Our WikiProject Battles members has grown quite a lot recently... So, I'm off to add more of those thingys... Spawn Man 05:11, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks
Hi Kirill. Thanks for reverting the anon AOL vandal's attacks on my talk page. I only wish that the idiot would realise that I never see his work unless I go looking for it, thanks to the efforts of good folks like yourself, because he works in the middle of the night my time! -- Arwel 13:29, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
Seacoast Church Copyright
Hi I am the Communications Pastor at Seacoast Church and placed the age that you reported for copyright violation. I am in charge of web content for the church...
I am new to Misplaced Pages - how can I get the page back up?

Request:
Hi Kirill (Can I call you KillBill Munchkin? Don't ask me why...).
As you may or may not have seen, I have finnally finished the Great Retreat article. Although I have asked around for people to polish it etc, I know that you're the guy (or girl, which I do not know) for the job. As a personal request, would you be able to add some pictures or maps (especially showing the Allie's retreat path) to the article? I want to get it into featured article thingy. I would be forever thankful...
P.S. I like your surrender icon to put in battle boxes...
Spawn Man 05:10, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Awesome awesome awesome!!! The pictures you put on are awesome!! Thanks alot Kirill!! I'll see if anyone else has any maps up their sleeves (not counting people wearing tee shirts). If you need anything done... just ask... Thanks again... Spawn Man 04:07, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
- As a side note, can you see the two pictures you've put in on the Great Retreat? Because I can't (not just because I'm blind...), it comes up with a little cross in a box... Spawn Man

Battle categories
Well...there aren't going to be any Kingdom of Jerusalem battles that aren't crusade battles, and similarly there aren't going to be many crusade battles that don't involve Jerusalem (for example), aside from the ones that took place later in Europe I guess. Also of course there are a number of battles that involve Jerusalem, Antioch, Edessa, etc, all at the same time. It seems like overcategorization to make a separate category for every state. It is much simpler just to say they are all battles of the crusades. There's never going to be hundreds of articles that will make the category unwieldy, and splitting it up this way in fact makes it less useful since it spreads out the information over many different places. This is a problem with our bizarre category system in the first place, I think. But if some standard has supposedly been created I guess I can't argue with that...it just seems dumb to me. Adam Bishop 03:05, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Nah...there are probably less than 10 crusade battle articles that haven't been written yet (that would be worth writing, I mean). Unless we wrote another article for every insignificant battle (and there are many, since they were constantly at war), there would never be more than 3 or 4 in each crusader state subcategory. Adam Bishop 05:59, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Help:
Hi Kirill.
I was wondering, my talk page is getting longer, & would you, when the time comes of course, be able to archive my talk page? I have, (and probably never will, be able to archive my talk page due to the utter uselessness of myself & some aspects of the wikipedia world. Don't be a stranger, pop into my talk page & drop a line, (perferably a line & tackle so I can go fishing), or visit one of the many new articles. Spawn Man 05:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC) P.S. Did you notice 2 of my new article's facts got put on the main page as DYKs? Thanks...
Boxes
Hey Kirill,
Couldnt wait, i made the test page in your User:Kirill_Lokshin/Sandbox/warbox-full, I hope you dont mind me playing with your sand! :-) I though we should center on one location asap, as we already seem to have been doing double work on this. Greets, --The Minister of War 16:58, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
==Who's RfA== Thank you for supporting my masters RfA. He appreciates your support and comments and looks forward to better serving Misplaced Pages the best he can. Of course I will be doing all of the real work. He would have responded to you directly, but he is currently out of town, and wanted to thank you asap.

Jaxl's RfA
Hi Kirill, thanks for supporting me on my RfA! Robert 15:54, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
Help:
Two of the articles that I have created have been deleted because of so-called copyright issues. See 1 & 2. I find this wrong because, 1, I did not use the source they state, infact I used books & another internet source. 2, Many other people have contributed to the articles. 3, They have been there a long time, & no one has had a problem with it. 4, The person who blocked the articles seems incompetant & foolish, & possibly a past enemy of mine. I think his name is Wikiheak or Wikiphreak. You seem like a knowledgable person, what can I do to get these unblocked, because clearly, I did not copy the info from firstworldwar.com. Sincerly, Spawn Man 00:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for helping resolve this issue!! I'm forever in your debt. Please, don't hesitate to ask if you need anything from me. Spawn Man 02:18, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Help, again:
Hi Kirill, i know it's a big ask, but could you put my talk page on archive? I got into a bad dispute. Mix that with a bad week, make that year, & it boiled into something bigger. I just want to put it all behind me & start anew. If that's possible, I would be sooo thankful & relieved. Spawn Man 12:02, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your support
Thank you very much for your support on my nomination for adminship. Now that I have been made an admin, I will do my best to live up to the truest you and the community have placed in me. If you ever see my doing something you think is incorrect or questionable, or does not live up to the standards that should be expected of an admin, please let me know.

Thank you for your support of my RfA
Dear Kirill Lokshin: I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your enthusiastic support of my RfA candidacy, and to thank you very much for voting. I promise that I shall do my very best to use my newly-bestowed abilities for the good of the wiki, and never ever for evil. I am truly honoured that yourself, and other Wikipedians, saw fit to entrust me with administrator privileges. Although I don't think we've met in person, I look forward to working with you on Misplaced Pages in the future. Thank you again, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) (e-mail) (cabal) 00:59, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
Warbox
Hey Kirill. I've started an article on WP:WARS, but somehow the warbox is protesting. I have to sign warbox-end twicve, or the other table (with the colours) is also included. I cant find the problem. Any idea? --The Minister of War 07:20, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

WAR what is it good for?
Wow, nice, youve made a portal! You've really been up to a lot the last few days! :-) I also really like the WP:WARS tag, it's beautiful, mes compliments. Glad you liked the idea to revive the project. My main motivation was that some people might have it on their watch page and regain interest. But if we are to implement this new warbox, we're going to need all the help we can get! Maybe you're right about the colourscheme. But any alternatives? Any colourschemes which do make sense? Hmmm... --The Minister of War 08:27, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Knowing where to look
How did you know right where to look when I did those joke redirects/renames? You're no stalker, are you?
- KJI is so evil he's the Emperor Palpatine of the non-fictional world, more or less. You relate to comparing him with Emperor Palpatine, right?
- Also, hurricanes are getting ever stronger every year, and one at least as strong as Katrina is likely to strike NOLA next year, which won't be enough time to upgrade those levees to withstand Category 5 storms. Hence, New Orleans' traffic will soon be replaced by boats and gondolas, much like Venice is today. New Orleans might be renamed New Venice someday soon. I'm merely giving a warning, and hope those engineers upgrade those levees fast.
- I also made a hypothesis that if the Korean Peninsula was to reunify under the DPRK Government (lets hope not!), Seoul may be renamed Kim Il-Sung City much like Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City. I plan on joining the Navy once I grow out of my asthma well enough, and may get to fight on or around the Korean Peninsula, to help reunify the Koreas under the ROK Government if a 2nd Korean War were to happen.
- Understood. Where do I put conjectures then? Are there other wikis where it's OK to put up conjectures? And you do agree that Kim Jong-il is like Emperor Palpatine in MANY ways, right?

Government of France
Thanks for your remarks! Yes, I noticed (blush) that there was no clear way to obtain English references. Since I'm a native French speaker this didn't strike me. I now have added English references (some official sites carry translations of official French texts into English). Do you think it's enough? David.Monniaux 09:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Your very own RFA....
Spawn Man would like to nominate you to be an administrator. Please visit Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Spawn Man to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Kirill Lokshin. If you accept the nomination, you must formally state your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.I'll start mustering up the troops to vote for you after you accept...

Hello Kirill. What about creating some template like this called "Battlebox needed". I think it can be very useful in fixing battle articles without battleboxes. - Darwinek 17:00, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Bounty Board
Greetings. You've recently been involved with working on get articles up to featured status, so I wanted to let you know about a new page, Misplaced Pages:Bounty board. People have put up monetary bounties for certain articles reaching featured status - if the article makes it, the bounty lister donates the stated amount of money to the Wikimedia Foundation. So you can work on making articles featured, and donate other people's money at the same time. If this sounds interesting, I hope you stop by. – Quadell 22:21, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your vote on my RFA
Now that the voting has officially closed, I would like to thank you very much for supporting my candidacy for adminstrator and as of 18:36, 28 October 2005 (UTC) I am an administrator. I will make sure to use the additional power judiciously and I welcome any comments you may have. --Reflex Reaction 19:00, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
You're a sysop!
Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on Votes for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Misplaced Pages up to date.
Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=Please also add your name to WP:LA User:Nichalp/sg 10:15, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
