Your GA nomination of Anastasia

The article Anastasia you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Anastasia for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 22:18, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Northern Kazakhstan part of Russia?

With reference to this article, please be careful. Having lived in Kazakhstan, I can tell you that calling Northern Kazakhstan "Russia" is as much of a Faux pas as describing Denmark as "a southern province of Sweden". In normal circumstances, it would be amusing, but given the current stuff with Russia/Ukraine, it is a very sensitive issue, which you may unfortunately hear more of in the coming decade. Valenciano (talk) 01:57, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Valenciano, thank you very much for your correction. I did not write that Kazakhstan was part of Russia intentionally; since the source was an article in The Moscow Times I assumed it was part of Russia. Tusind tak igen. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 02:02, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

I know. You just made an honest mistake, I'm just giving you friendly advice, since I've made similar mistakes myself in Kazakhstan, Sweden and Finland. Trust me, politics in Nordic countries are sweetness and light compared to the former USSR. ;) Valenciano (talk) 02:07, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

I'll take your word for it. Cya around. :) Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 02:10, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Emotional blackmail

Hi. You tagged the above article as not being neutral and directed the editors to the talk page. There is no new information in talk. Much of the discussion there surrounds copy that is no longer in the article. The article still needs work for sure. Can you summarize your dispute? 192.136.235.164 (talk) 05:52, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I'd be happy to do that once I'm home. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 13:03, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! 192.136.235.164 (talk) 15:56, 19 January 2015 (UTC)≠

It's done, 192.136.235.164. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 20:46, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. I'll fix it in th next day or so. The style of writing in the whole article needs work. The whole is written from a victims POV. Thanks.192.136.235.164 (talk) 00:26, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Your GA review of James Balfour (died 1845)

Hi Jonas

Thanks for your review of James Balfour (died 1845), at Talk:James_Balfour_(died_1845)/GA1#GA_Review.

I have responded in detail to your concerns, at Talk:James Balfour (died 1845)/GA1#Reply_to_review. Please would you be kind enough to either reply to my responses ... or, if you prefer to not be involved any further, to let me know? Thanks! --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:35, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

BrownHairedGirl, thanks for coming directly to my talk page. Looking back at the review and the points I made, I agree it's not my proudest review. Regarding my involvement, I think the article could benefit more by a new review by a new editor. Best of luck. Jonas Vinther (speak to me!) 16:41, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
