Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Pashko 2! I am Marek69 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Revert on your Ukraine edits

Sorry for not using Ukrainian, unfortunately, I am not comfortable in commanding the language, but on your user page I saw that you understand English quite easily..

I reverted your edits because according to Wikipedia Naming Conventions, on the English Wikipedia we use the most commonly used English variant for place names. This is a long standing debate which has gone on for years in the Wiki-community, however the current consensus is that we use the name Russian transliterated version Kiev instead of the Ukrainian transliteration of Kyiv. Ukrainian being the only official language in Ukraine, thus Київ being written as Kyiv does not affect our usage on the English Wikipedia. The same can be said of the article on Sergey Korolyov. Such is the most commonly used English language variant (indicated by Google hits and major news publications, etc.)

Please take a look on the talk page for the Kiev naming issue. If you disagree, propose any changes to the way we write the name of the Ukrainian capital there. Anyway, plainly changing Kiev to Kyiv (and vice versa for others) is not helpful and only distracts us from our purpose of writing free quality articles. There are special naming conventions for transliterating peoples names, etc. and why we use whichever names we use for the articles in question.. Please take a look at the specifics there.

I hope I have explained to you why we use Kiev instead of Kyiv, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Cheers,--ddima .talk 00:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but nothing is this easy on Wikipedia :) I suggest to not start with this whole issue and rather help improve and write articles relating to Ukraine. When I first started on here, I too thought of changing every instance of Kyiv to Kiev, yet my viewpoint changed.. Wikipedia just uses the common name used in the English language, just like Moscow is for Moskva. I seriously doubt that we will ever see the article on Moscow be moved to Moskva. It just isn't what is established in the English language..

And (unfortunatly for some of us, the article on K**v stays at Kiev and not Kyiv. Proposing a move also won't help the situation (we've had NUMEROUS amounts of them and they have all failed) Like I said before, Wikipedia runs on consensus, and the Wikicommunity has agreed upon the current situation of using commonly established English place names for our articles. --ddima .talk 18:39, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits: please do not remove information without justification

Re [1] [2] etc.: unjustified removal of correct information from articles is not helpful. Please review the en.wiki naming convention, WP:AT and our advice on listing altenrative names in the lead Wikipedia:NCGN#Alternate_names. Knepflerle (talk) 00:03, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use more than a single account for regular editing, especially if you engage in potentially contentious edits. Please stick with your original account "Pashko 2".

I also ask you to make yourself familiar with our policies on article naming and foreign transliteration (see WP:NAME and WP:NCGN), and to avoid edit-warring. Aggressive editing on naming issues may otherwise lead to blocks or topic bans under the rules of WP:DIGWUREN#Discretionary sanctions. Thank you, --Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
