Dusty Springfield
I have completed my GAR of Dusty Springfield, I have allowed one week for changes to be made to the article to comply with my comments. Have fun.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:48, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- The one week for changes to be made has passed but very little progress on the recommendations of the review have occurred. Unfortunately the article is not yet up to GA. There are suggestions on the review page for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a reassessment of the decision if you believe there was a mistake.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:31, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
- I am very much interested in implementing your recommendations. Unfortunately, I am currently extremely busy in real life so I will probably be able to edit it next week. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 14:40, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

The insertion of the Government of Estonia is fine with me. I would even say it it was the government, even it takes more place. You write that Hackenschmidt felt Estonian, and it is not supported by the reference. Have you got a another reference or source for that? -- Zz (talk) 10:20, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Mina
I see you're providing additional stuff on Mina article. Can I ask you to convert all albums titles in this format (say, in Italics). And single ones in "this format" (say, between "...")... if you've time. Thanks and good work.--Attilios 01:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
sales
These are for them nature sources, and they don't need to furnish their methodologies to the reader, because they are among the most authoritative in Italy. The numbers and the information from them bring they are popularizations of their investigations of market. The rest is an useless polemic. Mine is the artist more famous woman to the world, all the Italian they know him/it. And' a datum of fact what it belongs to the national culture to the peer of Celentano.
...and next time, if you talk about me, you can write before in my personal talk and not here. Your isn't the better way, and isn't correct to much. ThanksMusic&Co (talk) 17:53, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi
A part dispute about Mina, esteemed sales, certified sales, Italian vs US method of certifications and estemeed... nothing of personal, and sorry for my scary english... I speak very bad, but I'm european. :) Music&Co (talk) 17:33, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
MINA NAME
mina: her name is MINA Anna. http://www.quirinale.it/elementi/DettaglioOnorificenze.aspx?decorato=48984.[1] in front of this official action you cannot absolutely say anything and to bring the forgery as bushels keeping on doing --Music&Co (talk) 12:34, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
- The President granted her the OMRI but her parents named her. Therefore the birth certificate and marriage certificates are the only official primary sources there can be. We have no information if the President's office used any official primary sources for her name, or whether they just used the name Mina requested them to use. Apparently she officially changed her surname twice, which has not stopped her from going under her maiden's name as an artist. We have nor reason to believe she would hesitate to do the same with her first name, regardless of what it officially is. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 19:16, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
But according to you in to assign an onoreficience of this type from the President of the Republic the official certificates they are not used? You remembers that the certificates are sent forth by the registry organs of the Republic the same one that has honored Mina of this worth. me ache you are joking, because this discussion is becoming indeed banal. You don't even surrender in front of the evidence for the taste to say the contrary one. Hi.--Music&Co (talk) 16:27, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- Is that another one of your 'truths'? I would be rather curious of a source that says what certificates and from what registry organs the President's office used for compiling such documents. By the way, taking the name in that document seriously simultaneously you are claiming she never acquired her husband's family name after her marriage. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 14:39, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
In Italy on the official certificates, the women also maintain the last name of birth after the marriage, that of their husbands it is alone optional.Music&Co (talk) 19:24, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Alexander von Middendorff
Hi Jaan, despite that IPNI calls it a name, I'm sure you are correct in your edit summary ('Theodorowitsch is not a name but a patronymic. His nationality was not Russian, as the empire encompassed several nations.'), and you are far better educated on the matter than I, as I wouldn't have known it. Nevertheless, instead of excluding the patronymic altogether, shouldn't it be included in some fashion. After all, it is varifiable. Perhaps, also, IPNI should be informed that the real name for this person is Alexander von Middendorff. My source was their page, which I didn't attribute separately as an inline citation because {{botanist}} can only be placed once, in any form (that I'm aware of), on a page, and it's already on the page now. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Hamamelis (talk) 03:10, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
- I am not sure about the IPNI but I can just say including a patronymic to a German name is wrong. Is it not sufficient the patronymic is included in the name in Russian language? --Jaan Pärn (talk) 10:33, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding. It isn't sufficient to non-Russian readers, as I am one and had to have it translated to know that Федорович = Fyodorovich. I do agree with you that "Theodorowitsch" is 'wrong', as I've said, because I believe you have the knowledge that I do not possess. But because it is wrong doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the fallible world, as an accident only, perhaps. And this could be mentioned in the article, for instance:
–or something of this sort. I have actually found this mistake[2] now in print, in a (not surprisingly) new book. Since it is out there, shouldn't WP be a voice to say it is erroneous?"his middle name is sometimes spelled as "Theodorowitsch", a German corruption of the Russian patronymic Федорович (Fyodorovich)."

Chagall
Please, be consistent in what you are doing. You delete Belarusian references to Chagall, but do not do the same to Estonian artists born during the times of Russian Emerial occupation of Estonia? Following your logic, there was no Estonia before 1917? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.150.4 (talk) 13:33, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
The Estonian nation was formed in the autonomous Baltic governorates by the late 1860s, with a distinct territorial and cultural identity. During the following decades, Estonia as a nation formed a political elite with an objective for an autonomy for the nation (much like the Grand Duchy of Finland or Congress Poland). Therefore, the independence of Estonia was not just a random event in 1918 but a logical end to a half-century long process. None of this happened in Belarus until the Russian Civil War. Therefore, Estonia is not a good parallel to Belarus here. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 14:58, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Belarusian National Revival, Chagall and Estonia
If you try to broaden your horizons and read anything besides Russian Karamzin-inspired history, you might come to a conclusion that Estonia was not unique at that time defining its identity and future borders. Precisely at the same time Belarusian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Czech and other national movements started to develop. I would suggest you read following books: http://www.amazon.com/Reconstruction-Nations-Ukraine-Lithuania-1569-1999/dp/030010586X http://www.amazon.com/Belarus-European-Dictatorship-Andrew-Wilson/dp/0300134355/ http://www.amazon.com/Belarus-Crossroads-Westview-Post-Soviet-Republics/dp/0813317940/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.150.4 (talk) 15:26, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
I do not have access to most of the content of these books. Perhaps you can cite when do the authors place the beginning of the Belarusian nation. I do have access to this paper and it says Belarus did not develop a political elite. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 15:37, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Andrew Wilson's book goes as far back as to the principalities of Polatsk and Turau (Turov) (9-10 centuries) as the original Belarusian states. The tricky point is that the name of the Belarusian nation was changing throughout the times: from purely tribal names such as Kryvichi, Drehovichi, etc. to state related - Licviny - as opposed to the Baltic people of Samogitia/Aukshtota - contemporary "Lithuanians".
I'd suggest you try your university databases for the following:
Author: Plokhy, Serhii1 Source: East European Politics & Societies; Sep2011, Vol. 25 Issue 4, p. 763-769
also an article of a Lithuanian scholar on Russification of Belarus and Lithuania in 19th century: Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung; 1999, Vol. 48 Issue 3, p. 383-396
Sociological Research, vol. 40, no. 5, September–October 2001, pp. 36–51. - an article about 16th century Belarusian statehood.
Nationalities Papers, Vol. 38, No. 6, November 2010, 829–846 - Nationalism and socialism: “Phase D” in the Belarusian nation-building by Nelly Bekus
I am glad that you admit your lack of access to necessary information. Therefore, I would also appreciate if you remove the statement about non-existence of Belarus prior to the Russian civil war from the Chagall article. Tänan! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.150.4 (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
- I did not originally insert the statement so I do not think it is not up to me to remove it. If you I am pretty sure I can understand the idea behind this statement was to protect the WP:OPENPARA from getting Chagall denoted as Belarusian, which was obscure as a nation at the time. Also, what evidence do we have he ever identified himself as Belarusian? --Jaan Pärn (talk) 16:32, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Generally speaking, even if we disregard the Great Duchy of Lithuania as the Belarusian state, the lack of independence historically is not necessarily a detriment to the formation of a nation state in the later periods. For example, the tradition of national statehood in the three Baltic states was limited to the interwar period. Ukraine arguably enjoyed a few weeks of statehood, mainly under German auspices in 1918, and the two parts of Ukraine were briefly united in 1919, but historically Ukrainians have also been largely a stateless people. Evidence also suggests that Belarusians were making some progress along the road to cultural self-awareness in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. According to the census of 1897, over 50% of the hereditary nobles living in Belarusian regions declared themselves to be Belarusians according to their native language. This cultural rebirth continued in the early Soviet period, and ended only around 1928. Thus the cultural retardation of Belarus is a phenomenon of the Soviet period beginning with the Stalin years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.150.4 (talk) 16:04, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
- You and your sources are not talking about a Belarusian nation but a Belarusian ethnicity. Please bring quotes from sources that state when the Belarus as a nation was established with its political elite, national institutions, and territorial identity. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 16:32, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
As I mentioned before, the question lies in the name of the nation. Belarus as applied to the whole territory of the contemporary state of Belarus plus few parts given to other nations by Stalin (Vilnius, Smalensk and Chernigov regions) emerged in 19 century. The statehood of the ethnic group called today Belarusians goes back to the Polatsk and Turov principalities of the late 1st Millennium and, in later centuries, in a more unified form, to the Great Duchy of Lithuania, with all the nation attributes including very well developed legislation in Old Belarusian. Again, following your logic, we cannot talk about Estonian nation/state until the post-Russian Revolution times. An intensity of the modern national revival should not be important here. The goals of Belarusian early nationalists were the same as Estonian ones. Please, be consistent. As for Chagall, he identified himself as a Jew from Vitsebsk. Chagall once said, it was the soil that nurtured the roots of my art. And the soil happened to be Belarusian.
- I asked for quotes that describe the Belarusian nation (not ethnicity) in the 19th century and I get stuff about the Great Duchy of Lithuania and Stalin. I ask for evidence on Chagall identifying himself as part of the Belarusian nation and I get... well, nothing. I don't think we have much to add to each other here. My points remain that 1) the Belarusian nation did not exist at the 19th century (Ruthenian≠Belarusian); and 2) Chagall never identified himself as a Belarusian (Vitebsk Jew ≠ Belarusian). You are welcome to take this argument to Talk:Marc_Chagall. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 19:43, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Being about to get on a transatlantic flight i am not able to answer you properly today. I will do it later though. One last question, did Estonian nation exist in 19 century? If not, would you care to delete all the references to it in the Wiki entries about people, who were born in what is today Estonia before it became independent in early 20th century? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.160.42.177 (talk) 20:34, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Also, you proved my point changing back to the previous version this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eduard_Ole&action=history I think I should take this matter further, since you are biased and malinformed.
Chagall lived in the time of the first Belarusian political party (1902), first Belarusian newspaper (1906), first Belarusian publishing house (1906)... It is naive to demand from him Belarusian identity in our contemporary understanding of nationhood in order to say that he was a Belarusian artist. His prime self-identity belonged to Viciebsk which was as much Belarusian city as Minsk or Hrodna were. His identity was complex - Jewish, Belarusian, French - and that's the beauty of the country and time he came from. 86.130.35.75 (talk) 22:59, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
- It is naive to demand from him Belarusian identity in our contemporary understanding of nationhood - Why our contemporary? The idea of nationality precedes Chagall by a century.
- His prime self-identity belonged to Viciebsk - I am sorry, but Vitebsk also belonged to the Russian Empire at the time so that does not prove he identified himself as Belarusian. You need solid sources that investigate his national identity to prove him Belarusian. The idea of the policy is to give unambiguous geographic context. As you said yourself, the Belarusian political parties were just forming and the first Belarusian publishing houses established, in other words, the Belarusian nation was still under construction. This does not give you freedom to interpret anybody born in the modern Belarus as Belarusian, this is just OR. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 19:00, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
birth country of V. Karpin
Dear Mr. Jaan, Karpin's birth county was Soviet Union, or, if specify, Estonian SSR, but not Estonia. It's only the fact...--Noel baran (talk) 20:18, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
- About the consensus that was made at the Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Baltic states-related articles you can see, that for an encyclopaedic materials it's not well. Why? One thing, if you indicate the birth place in a passport: only current countries available for it. But historically, for example, V.Karpin was born in the Soviet Union. To say that it's Estonia in Encyclopaedia - only nationalists reasons. Another thing, what we thinking about USSR. And value of the Wikipedia that it trays to give information, no what I think.
Possible to made in this way: Narva, Estonian SSR (in present day - Estonia), but NOT Estonia. --Noel baran (talk) 11:12, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- As we will hardly be able to change the consensus, I think it is more useful to continue this conversation at the wikitalk page not here. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 12:40, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

So tell me something
On the Leo Komarov article, you frequently reverted back to the "last stable version" of the article whenever anyone tried to add the Soviet Union part to his bithplace because of a lack of "new" consensus. So please, explain to me why you insist on doing the complete opposite on articles like Sandis Ozoliņš? Please stop perpetuating these edit wars with such duplicitous edits. Resolute 14:07, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Are you proposing to pursue the last-stable-version-rule after all? I will be happy to follow that until a consensus is reached, of course, without exceptions like you tried at Komarov, which featured a stable birth place for two years until January this year. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 14:54, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- I've never edited the Komarov article one way or another. And no, I am not proposing to pursue any course of action. Merely asking you to pursue a consistent course of action. Your comments at WT:HOCKEY about having no agenda are shown to be a lie when your tactics and beliefs change on each article to suit the direction you want them to go. Resolute 16:04, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- You did protect it at the unstable version and openly argued for it at the talk page. I tried to be consistent with the last-stable-version-rule but got opposed by you and other editors, so I realised I needed to go ahead without this. If you ask me I am still convinced we should be consistent in freezing the articles at the last stable versions. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 16:18, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

- I find it curious that you always seem to revert war on the Sandis Ozoliņš article right behind a couple of IP addresses who happen to share an ISP. At any rate, I am left in something of a quandry here. I can ask that the page be fully protected due to the edit warring, or I can take this mess to a drama board and see how many edit warriors get blocked. I would prefer to do neither, but that is going to require that you realize that you've been reverted by three different editors on this, and that you'd best follow Nug's example and confine the argument to talk pages. So please, tell me which direction I should take this. Resolute 00:03, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- Well, The Ozoliņš article is now up for full protection by another editor. Fair warning, if the edit warring simply moves to another article, I will be taking this to ANI and requesting wholesale blocks. I would request that you keep further debate to the talk pages.

I'm not certain if you're allowed to remove your comments, when doing so disrupts a discussion. Scratching them out, is usually prefferd. GoodDay (talk) 23:53, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
- I am sorry, did I disrupt you? Do go on!--Jaan Pärn (talk) 23:57, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
- Just going by past experiences on talkpages. Maybe, you're allowed to 'delete'. GoodDay (talk) 23:59, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Per silent consensus at the Baltics Rfc, I've corrected the birth countries of the NHL & former NHL players who were born in Estonia, Lithuania & Latvia. As well as the entries at the Devils & Maple Leafs roster templates. I don't agree with those changes that I've made, but I have respected the consensus reached. GoodDay (talk) 03:58, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
I've restored the "City, Latvia/Lithuania/Estonia" version in the bios & team templates-in-question, again. Don't know if Djsasso will cooperate this time, or not. GoodDay (talk) 13:39, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Why are you & Nug adding the tag to ONLY Komarov? Add the BLEEPING dispute tag to ALL the Baltic NHL bios or DON'T ADD any. Why are you guys being so BLEEPING difficult. GoodDay (talk) 12:18, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- Komarov is the only article where the last stable version does not include the USSR.--Jaan Pärn (talk) 12:24, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- You're such a dick, really. Why your so determined to get yourself blocked or topic-banned, is beyond me. GoodDay (talk) 12:30, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Jaan - I don't read Estonian, so I can't read the reference you added to this page, but if it confirms that St Olaf's was never the world's tallest building, you may wish to also edit the several other Wikipedia pages which list it as a former record-holder - List of tallest freestanding structures in the world, History of the tallest buildings in the world, List of tallest church buildings in the world, and List of tallest towers in the world. Grutness...wha? 09:01, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- I have commented on this subject on Talk:St. Olaf's Church, Tallinn. Maybe you would like to discuss it there. Astronaut (talk) 19:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
I wasn't tampering with your post, but rather following a guideline. GoodDay (talk) 21:55, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Wow... your first edit in that article's history is a revert of my edit directly following our dispute on the Mila Kunis talk page. It's almost a miracle! Not trying to insinuate anything, but... Hearfourmewesique (talk) 17:48, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ushkuiniks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fennic (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:22, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

You are right to say that the other artist of this name needs an article for linking. Without one it is hard to use a hatnote (which is the route I would use). As a side point I feel you are confusing the word consent, which means permission, with consensus, which is the agreement of a group. Look up both words in a dictionary and see what I mean.
