== FYI ==

I don't know if you are going to (or can) do anything with this, but I thought it'd be something interested to track: . Just what "interests" does this primarily target, I wonder ;)—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 13:39, May&nbsp;21, 2009 (UTC)
:Looks like ] pretty badly...—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 14:33, May&nbsp;21, 2009 (UTC)

== More information please? ==

1) In , August 2006, No. 15, Shane Maloney wrote an article titled: , containing the paragraph:
:''"Of Ivanov, less is known. The surname is not uncommon. The KGB is officially defunct and its former members are difficult to trace. But a certain Valery Ivanov serves on the Standing Committee for Foreign Affairs and National Security of the Republic of Belarus. He looks older, of course, but the physical similarity is unmistakable. And the job seems tailor-made for one of the boys."''
Did Maloney get his facts wrong?

2) Where did you get your information on the birth dates?

3) Do you know if there is ANY information about the combe-ivanov Ivanov since he left Australia?

Cheers, ] (]) 12:35, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

:If you can't supply some information to counter Mr Maloney, I see no reason not to revert back to the edit with the supporting reference.
:I'm looking forward to your reply, particularly it you can answer all three of my questions with useful supporting information.
:Cheers, ] (]) 13:14, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

::Maloney is wrong, absolutely wrong. I really hate it when so-called journalists put something to print without doing a simple search. These days, there's a marvellous thing called '''the internet''' which would have made Maloney's job much, much easier to do. If Maloney had of done such a search, he would have found which gives the date of birth. Hope this helps. --] <sup>]</sup> 13:21, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

:::Cool. Thanks. (And personally, I don't think Ivanov 1955 looks anything much like Ivanov 1948, either ... )
:::Have you been able to find ANYTHING about Ivanov 1948?
:::Cheers, ] (]) 14:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

== Russian government photographs ==

Could you remind me who is it that uploads Russian government photographs to commons? I would like a photograph of ]. ] 12:13, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
:I do most of the uploading of photos from the Kremlin website (kremlin.ru) it seems, but I can't find a photo of Dmitriyenko on there as yet. When Medvedev travels to Murmansk Oblast again, this will be the best time to get it. Other than this, we would have to contact the Murmansk Oblast authorities and ask for permission to use their photographic materials under a commons compatible licence. Dunno if you are interested in doing that side of things? --] <sup>]</sup> 12:56, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah, I remembered seeing you around the wiki in various places. I haven't managed to find much written about him, except for a few briefings in Izvestia, so I don't know how much time I will spend on the article now. There probably isn't even enough for a DYK. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with OTRS. Are you willing to do the legwork? ] 13:28, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

== Cats ==

Regarding , if you are planning to create and populate this cat, may I suggest that you create and populate two instead (administrative divisions of Russia and municipal divisions of Russia)? Might save some maintenance headaches later on... Cheers,—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 13:39, September&nbsp;3, 2009 (UTC)
:For fucks sake Weasel, can't you do anything for me anymore? Don't make me beg! Right?!? --] <sup>]</sup> 13:41, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
:In actual fact, I was gonna contact you about that. Should be there a single category? Or two? You seem to be the expert here on this side of things, so I'll get you to decide how to categorise them, eh? --] <sup>]</sup> 13:42, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
::<watching a big dump of boring hit the fan...> I guess I could do it myself... Gee, I only asked that you do it for me (as usual), is all... Are you busy or something? :)—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 13:45, September&nbsp;3, 2009 (UTC)
:::Busy? I dunno...doesn't that big f'ing box at the top of my talk page say anything to you? OK, I realise it only says I may not respond quickly to respond to questions, but the general gist of the box should be pretty damned clear, wouldn't you say? --] <sup>]</sup> 13:47, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
:::Oh, OK. Check this out... ] created in 2007 by yourself. Shouldn't this really be located at ] -- better English innit? --] <sup>]</sup> 13:50, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I remember this one now. Someone then argued that "better English" should be damned in cat names for the sake of brevity. I don't quite understand now why I bought that, but bought it I did (judging by the fact that I myself created that pidgin cat). Yeah, it really needs to be fixed <small>and a native speaker is the best candidate for that kind of job, wouldn't you agree?</small>—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 14:01, September&nbsp;3, 2009 (UTC)
:::::Oh there you go with the native speaker line again man. What exactly do you do for a living? Professor of English or something I bet! :) Anyway, given my exemplary command of the English language (and speeling and gramma) I have put it at CfD. Also note, the other couple of cats I have also nominated earlier today for renaming. --] <sup>]</sup> 14:08, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::You know, I almost fell for your "professor of English" compliment, but then realized it's just a cheap ploy to get ''me'' do all the work (and no, that's ''not'' what I do for a living). As for the CfD, I have just seconded the nomination. Haven't had a chance to look at the other couple of cats you nominated; will do so now. Cheers,—]&nbsp;•&nbsp;(]); 14:22, September&nbsp;3, 2009 (UTC)

Why did you revert that change? The version you reverted to has non-working code, check footnote 28. --] (]) 22:37, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

:Any reply here? --] (]) 09:56, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

== Soviet Story ==

Hi, Russavia{{ndash}}since you've made an edit to Soviet Story just now, do you have any opinions on this? . It seems there's a concerted effort on the part of ''some'' users of Misplaced Pages to paint the critics of the film as liars, without even any attempt to include sources or anything such. Really stupefying. ] (]) 09:33, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah it is absolutely stupefying. It even extended after I uploaded ], which an editor attempted to speedy delete, both here on en:wiki, and also on commons after I uploaded it there. Frankly, I think it's actually quite funny - editors "fighting" over articles which are rubbish to begin with, and which any reader with half a brain will realise is a piece of crap and will go elsewhere to get their info. Makes one wonder why we bother sometimes, I guess. --] <sup>]</sup> 01:54, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

== Proposed Removal of all non de jure Diplomatic Missions ==

I would like to seek your view as to whether we should eliminate from the lists of diplomatic missions by sending/recieving countries all references to representative offices of sending states that do not have formal diplomatic missions with the host states. This would affect a large number of articles which relate to Taiwan, Palestine, Kosovo and other states. Please provide your views ]. Thank you. ] (]) 06:33, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

:What templating of regulars are you talking about exactly? In regards to the AfD, I'll take it back to AfD now. --] <sup>]</sup> 03:36, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==
