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.

Again, welcome!--Irpen 18:07, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Allow me

Calak is hereby given an Exceptional Newcomer Award for several articles he wrote on the Ukrainian Christianity right after his arrival to Wikipedia. --Irpen 19:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the articles! Enjoy your award and feel free to move it to your userpage. Ukrainian Christianity is a very fascinating topic and your input is very much welcomed. Development of the topic's coverage is something we all are looking forward to. Please check out the Category:Christianity in Ukraine and, its flagship article History of Christianity in Ukraine (which still needs much work), to see if you would like to help. Thanks, --Irpen 19:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Listing sources

I noticed that you relied extensively on the OrthodoxWiki articles. There is nothing wrong with that as the OW is GFDL and allows to be copied. Just please add the references to the OW articles to the Wikipedia articles you create. Thanks again! --Irpen 05:42, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy

Hi there! I've noticed that you've edited articles pertaining to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the WikiProject dedicated to organizing and improving articles on the subject, which can be found at: WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy. This WikiProject was begun because a need was perceived to raise the level of quality of articles on Wikipedia which deal with the Eastern Orthodox Church.

You can find information on the project page about the WikiProject, as well as how to join and how to indicate that you are a member of the project. Additionally, you may be interested in helping out with our collaboration of the month. I hope you'll consider joining and thank you for your contributions thus far! —Preost ^talk contribs 14:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Note on adding full Eastern Orthodox Project to your watchlist

This is a note for members of the Eastern Orthodox Project: Since the project's main page has been converted to a portal-style box format, each of the boxes is actually its own page (you can see the page outside its box by clicking the 'Edit' link on any often the section boxes on the project page, which takes you to the edit page for its contents). Because of this, updates to individual box contents will not necessarily show up on editors' watchlists, if you've only got the main project page watched.

In order to keep up to date with all updates to the Project and its pages, I'd recommend adding each subpage to your watchlists. These are:

• Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy - The main Project page
• Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Intro - The introduction to the Project text, in the top box
• Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Scope - Goals of the project text
• Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Subsections - Listing of Project sub-areas
• Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Tasks - Main listing of pages, etc., needing work
• Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Templates - Listing of Project templates
• Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Participants - Listing of members
• Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Related - Listing of areas related to Project
• Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Notes - Notes on Project

If you add all of the above pages to your watchlist, you should be informed whenever any part of the WikiProject Eastern Christianity is edited/updated. To discuss this, please see the relavent section of the Project's talk page. —Antonios Aigyptos^talk 09:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Mjuocc.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Mjuocc.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 19:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Question

As you are an Orthodox Ukrainian and a major contributor to the relevant articles i have a question for you. Somebody wrote in the Russian WP article ru:Украинская автокефальная православная церковь (обновленная) which is under archbishop Igor (Isichenko) that he is within the jurisdiction of The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA and thus is canonically under the Ecumenical See. It looks quite fishy to me, but i do remember there have been some reports about Vsevolod Maidansky saying or doing something to this effect a few years ago. Would you be in a position to clarify the matter? Muscovite99 (talk) 16:46, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. You might have missed this nuance: the jurisdiction the ru WP article refers to is not exactly UAOC but a kind of a split-off group based in Kharkiv, i understand.Muscovite99 (talk) 16:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Uw1.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Uw1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:57, 21 March 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:57, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Μετάφραση από ελληνικά

Γεια. Έχω μεταφράσει 2 άρθρα από τα ελληνικά. Θα ήθελα να τα διαβάσεις και να κάνεις μερικές διορθώσεις, αφού οι γνώσεις μου στα αγγλικά δεν είναι τέλειες. Τα άρθρα είναι Nea Salamis Famagusta και Nea Salamis Famagusta FC. Είναι ακριβείς μεταφράσεις των αντίστοιχων ελληνικών. Αν δεν μπορείς να βοηθήσεις, απολογούμαι για την ενόχληση.

Hi, User:Calak, is this you? Lotje (talk) 14:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Calak. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Calak~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
