Welcome edit
Hello, Healkids, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
If you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to anounce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.
Finally, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

The PRD/PAN edit
Healkids, if you get a chance, I'd appreciate it if you could change the description of the PRD/PAN parties in the Mexico entry. The PRD is a center-left party, and the PAN is a center-right party. Alternately, we can say that the PRD is a liberal party, and the PAN is a conservative party. Let's try to be consistent. And if we want to say that the PRD has "socialist" tendencies, let's also say that the PAN has "theocratic" tendencies. Let's strive for fair and balanced. I would make the changes myself, but I'm not registered. Thanks. [[[User:69.210.244.63|69.210.244.63]] 17:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)]
Healkids, in the Mexican Political Parties section, the "right-of-center" and "left-of-center" modifiers are used.

[[[User:69.210.244.63|69.210.244.63]] 18:05, 26 January 2007 (UTC)]
It is not clear to me exactly what it is that you want. It already clearly states "PRD center-left and PAN center-right" as you request. I would rather not use terms as liberal or conservative as these are not well defined politically in Mexico. Same goes with "socialist" or "theocratic", both subjective and practically intertwined in politics there. Therefore I like it the way the parties are described in the article as it leaves much room for further interpretation as the case is in Mexico. Best!--Healkids 18:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello Healkids. Thanks for responding. I'm referring to the way the PRD and PAN are described in the "Mexico" entry, where they are described as follows:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico
There are three major political parties in Mexico:
* PAN: the National Action Party (Partido Acción Nacional). The PAN is a conservative party. President Felipe Calderón is a member of the PAN. * PRD: the Party of the Democratic Revolution (Partido de la Revolución Democrática). The PRD is a left wing party with socialist tendencies.
Healkids, describing the PRD as a "left-wing" party while describing the PAN as "conservative" is not fair and balanced. In fact, it reminds me of the Right in the US calling the Democratic Party as a "Far Leftist" one. Why not change the descriptions to "center-left" and "center-right", and eliminate any reference to "socialism" in the PRD section? Thanks. [[[User:69.210.244.63|69.210.244.63]] 20:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC)]
I see now. You did originally mention that I make changes "in the Mexico entry". Sorry I overlooked this. Let me see what I can do. Language must be chosen as to keep every one happy.By the way why aren't you "registered"? so you can make your own contributions? --Healkids 20:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Religion edit
I have nothing against your contributions, which I found valuable. But I believe your want to literally translate concepts from Spanish that do not necessarily mean the same thing in English: see, for example the definition for irreligious, which you want to translate from "sin religión". As for non-practicing, the document you provided from INEGI classifies population according to religion affiliation not to religious practice. Non-practicing in English means you consider yourself part of that religion, yet you do not comply with its requirements; for example, a person that says he is Catholic but does not go to Mass except on Christmas, weddings and funerals. Clearly, "sin religión" does not mean "non-practicing". The most common usage in English for this classification is "non-religious", "no religion" or "does not adhere to any religion" (see for example: Demographics of the United States and Religion in the United Kingdom). I will not revert your changes, for now, as I will wait for you to read this message. It's just a matter of selecting the proper word in English, instead of trying to find a false cognate that does not necessarily work in English. --the Dúnadan 14:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Dear Dunadan: I am glad you have "nothing against my contributions" as my only interest is to help Wikipedia and always do my corrections with utmost respect to the "correctees" . Regarding your comment, it was not I who used "irreligious" in the first place although the term did not bother me as it reflected (just like you yourself point out in Webster's) an appropriate translation for "SIN RELIGION"; then I did not mind it being replaced by you, as you thought some other term was more appropriate, however I had to point out that "atheist" was not the correct one. After reading your note above I agree that "non religious" would be the best one; thanks for sharing your thoughts and kindly make the change. Best! Healkids 18:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- OK. I didn't like "irreligious" in that it implies hostility [1] which wasn't the case in this particular paragraph. I think the best rendering will then be either "individuals who affiliate to no religion" or "who adhere to no religion", in that it is far more specific that "non-religious". Thanks for responding. --the Dúnadan 18:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
RE: vandalism edit
Well, next time you see any vandalism from a user, you should warn him. Place {{subst:uw-vandalism1}} to yield a sort-of "first warning". If the vandal stricks again, place {{subst:uw-vandalism2}} for a second warning. Perhaps after the warnings, the anon will stop.. If not, place {{subst:uw-vandalism3}}, and the last time {{subst:uw-vandalism4}}. After his next vandalism after test4, notify the admins at WP:AIV. I hope that helps.. also, see WP:TUSER for more information about the warnings messages.. —dima/s-ko/ 21:31, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- If the user doen't have a user page, just create it, and you should place the warnings on the talk page of the user. Semi-protection should be done when there is multiple vandals, where blocking each of them would not help. Otherwise, just revert him every time, and notify the admins if s/he doesn't stop after repeated warnings. —dima/s-ko/ 23:39, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Could you please clarify what it seems to be a discrepancy of dates, whereas the town was ....
ps.1.) Settled in prehistoric times, the sountern-eastern Poland region that is now Podkarpacie was overrun in pre-Roman times by various tribes, including the Celts, Goths and Vandals (Przeworsk culture and Puchov culture). After the fall of the Roman Empire, of which most of sountern-eastern Poland was part (all parts below the San), the area was invaded by Hungarians and Slavs.
The region subsequently became part of the Great Moravian state. Upon the invasion of the Hungarian tribes into the heart of the Great Moravian Empire around 899, the Lendians of the area declared their allegiance to Hungarian Empire. The region then became a site of contention between Poland, Kievan Rus and Hungary starting in at least the 9th century.
. This area was mentioned for the first time in 981, when Volodymyr the Great of Kievan Rus took the area over on the way into Poland. In 1018 it returned to Poland, 1031 back to Rus, in 1340 Casimir III of Poland recovered it.
ad.2.) In historical records the village Tyravia was first mentioned in 1402. The etymology is doubtful. The village was founded on the principles of the Wallachian Rights. In 1402, the ownership of Tyrawa (Tyravia) was passed over to the knights of Czech (Petrus) and his family.

Cuauhtemoc edit
Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth. It doesn't matter how strongly you believe that your version is correct (I happen to believe that this translation is correct), it's what's found in the sources that's important. It's particularly misleading to change the translation while keeping the reference, as it makes it seem like the reference supports your translation. --Ptcamn 21:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
He is a Russian Mexican because he is of Russian origin, in this case his paternal grandfather was Russian. You do not need to have a Russian parent to be of Russian origin mor then you need a Mexican parent to be Mexican American. Do you really think all Mexican Americans have parents born in Mexico? At least half of them do not. Although they may have Mexican grandparents. --FateClub 18:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Jacob Avigdor.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading File:Jacob Avigdor.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SilkTork (talk) 18:06, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
