Tomb of the unknown rapist
I have gained some new insight into the problems with Eastern European subjects. It seems to me that there exist an almost limitless amount of sources for what I would call
I did something dangerously bold today. I created a new template {{Hate}} for marking content that may contain hate speech or that may be seen as offensive to some nationality or ethnic group. The intent is to invite less involved editors to review the text and search for neutral expressions without loosing the factual content. The first article marked is Soviet War Memorial (Treptower Park). All the marked article are now in the hidden category Category:All articles with possible hate speech. At present this is just a bold experiment, the technical details are still missing. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 06:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
- Seems like a great idea to me! BTW I have started Wikipedia:Ethnic_and_cultural_conflicts_noticeboard#Pejoratives_for_the_Soviet_War_Memorial_.28Treptower_Park.29 section trying to do exactly this - to get help from the neutral people to solve the particular rapist problem Alex Bakharev (talk) 07:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)]

- One of the latest entries in the Petri Krohn-Leena Hietanen blog is entitled 'Estonian Fascism in Finland'. This title perhaps makes Alex recall some booklets in Russia during the 1990s, e.g. 'Yevreyskiy fashizm v Rossii' etc. Curiously, the anti-Estonian tandem seems to list Iivi Masso as one of the evil Estonian fascists - rather surprising, given which politically correct lefty she used to be. Well, perhaps her travels in Finland have broadened her mind :). --Pan Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 13:11, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

- Well, risking violating WP:BEAN I should note that anybody could start a blog signing as Alex Bakharev, Miacek, Marting, Russavia or Vladimir Putin. Usually, we check facts the other way whether somebody logged as wikieditor recognizes a blog like his. At any rate unlike wikipedia articles blogs are not suppose to be neutral. Many people express in their blogs extreme or even trollish viewpoints but still are able to contribute in neutral manner to the mainspace articles. If we ban all people expressing unusual viewpoints from wikipedia not many editors would left. I, personally, for banning people involved into vicious offwiki attacks on wikieditors but even this is condered controversial, the consensus being that that said offwiki stays off wiki. I was not able to fully understand the Fvirolainen-fasismi-suomessa article on the blogspot even with Google's help but it does not seem to attack wikieditors. We also have Russian Fascism disambig and no users have problems with it Alex Bakharev (talk) 12:54, 19 January 2009 (UTC)]

Nazi crimes in Estonia
Sorry to be here again, but could you have a look at this: Nazi crimes in Estonia. I already took up the issue at User talk:Lucasbfr#Nazi crimes in Estonia, but I know my Wikipedia friends would love to come and chat about it here too. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 05:48, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well the article was created by a sockpuppet of a banned user, so the deletion was legit. If you want to check the article for possible POV and inaccuracies I could restore it to your userspace. When you finish you can move it back to the main space. is it a good idea? Alex Bakharev (talk) 12:09, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- A claim has been made that Poetcourt1 (talk · contribs) and Belarus2 (talk · contribs) are sockpuppets of Roobit (talk · contribs). Until today I had no way of knowing if this claim was true or not. I could not figure out who this sockmaster could be. Roobit admits that he writes from Estonia, as do the two socks, but denies being the sockmaster. The issue was finally solved today, Partisan1 (talk · contribs) is now claimed to be a sockpuppet of Bloomfield (talk · contribs). At the same time it seems clear that Poetcourt1, Belarus2, and Partisan1 are the same person. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 19:18, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info. I have somehow lost the plot about this article. The article was deleted as a POV fork, not because the subject is not notable, etc. I could restore it and make a redirect and you can pick it up from there. Is it good? Or I could restore it to your (or Bloomfield's) userspace, you could edit it there and move to the mainspace then the article is ready. Is it a good proposal? Alex Bakharev (talk) 21:58, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- The issue is moot. The article was recreated as Holocaust in Estonia - now a terrible mess. The issue I want cleared is wheather it is right to accuse Roobit for Bloomfield's socks. I now see that there is a related discussion going on at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Long-term socks & evasion of accountability, but I do not know how to proceed. Besides, all of this banning / sockpuppet accustion business seems to be politically motivated, and I do not think I want to get involved. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 23:30, 14 March 2009 (UTC)]
- The issue is moot. The article was recreated as
- I do not know what to do about it. Roobit was blocked by Moreschi for soapboxing and POV-pushing not for sockpuppeting. So even if the puppets are not his the reasons for block would stay. Personally I would never block anybody indefinitely for the first soapboxing/pov-pushing offense, but Moreschi seems to have different rules on the matter Alex Bakharev (talk) 06:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- The account User:Roobit has (so far) been the worst soap-boxer and troll I've ever encountered here on wiki. He was indeed blocked for once and for all by Moreschi, since no other sysop had had the guts to take any action (although Roobit had been reported numerous times). Nazi-style nationalist hatred accounts should have no place in Wikipedia. Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 09:51, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree with your assessment. Roobit may have had foul mouth, but his efficacy was quite limited, and his attention was usually focused to two or three articles at a time. There have been trolls who have been actively, in near real-time, attacking dozens of articles at once. There have also been more prolific hoaxter soapboxers than Roobit.
- Note that disagreement is only about the relative worseness of Roobit and certain other editors. I completely agree that Roobit's place is not here. 12:57, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- Rest assured, Roobit had a long history. It's not like Moreschi banned him on the first offence; not like that at all. You see, Wikipedia has a policy: foul-mouthed newbies are not to be bitten. Only those newbies who will play nice and won't even as much as bark back can be bitten, or in some cases, banned. ΔιγουρενΕμπρος! 13:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)]

Hey Sasha, with
Do you know something about Konstantin Sokolenko?
I have just created a article about a kazak nordic combined skier: Konstantin Sokolenko, and i just wonder if you know something that i don't know that we can expand the article with. The Rolling Camel (talk) 14:17, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have done a short googling of Russian-language sources. All the information I have found is already in the article. Sorry. Alex Bakharev (talk) 01:37, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Advice is needed
Dear Alex,
I need your advice. During last few days I experience serious problems with some WP editor, who refuse to accept logical arguments. I'v never been involved in edit wars, I am unwilling to start it and I have no idea how such problems are usually resolved in the WP community. Could you please advise me what my first actions should be?
Best regards
--Paul Siebert (talk) 03:28, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, for the long delay, got a bad cold and mostly slept when I did not do my paid work. I think you have done the right thing: engaged into the talk page discussion and draw people's attention to the issue. I left some thoughts on the talk page of the article Alex Bakharev (talk) 01:26, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for your proposal. I believe the problem will be resolved soon.

Hi Sasha, thanks for digging up some info on
Ivan the Terrible
Concerning this change. Alex Bakharev, although in the piece of text you‘ve added in the article there was some link, the linked text doesn't contain this information, so this piece of text remained unreferenced and thus should be removed. Please try not to add this piece of text again before you find an appropriate source for it. Thanks! 戦車 besuch mich 03:01, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
P.S. besides that adding “the“ to ”1525” is useless. Next time try to examine the subject properly before reverting.
- Moved and answered to the article talk page Alex Bakharev (talk) 07:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Yevgeny Chichvarkin
- BTW, I've made some changes to the article, I've moved it to Yevgeny as per our translit standards, and changed Vlasov to Vlaskin. In the article now it says that they moved Vlaskin to an apartment and after some time he agreed to pay them back, but Moscow News says that they held him until he paid them back. Do you think the article should be changed to reflect this, because this is in essence the false imprisonment charges that have been laid against him. The same source also says that he is simply "vacationing in" the UK -- I guess "vacationing in" gives new meaning to the word "fled to", but has he moved, or is really simply vacationing? I guess we'll soon find out once the asylum papers are lodged, but how would you yourself interpret it at the moment in this regard? Moved? Vacationing? --Dialogue 20:55, 3 February 2009 (UTC)]
В процессе работы над этой статьёй в ру-вики столкнулся с неприятным фактом; на сайте peoples.ru есть такая статья о о ней, но она представляет из себя чистейший перевод из англо-вики статьи Sondra Locke. При этом скромно указывается имя автора - Алексей Булатов и никаких ссылок на ен-вики. Полагаю, что необходимо связаться с администрацией сайта и указать на нарушение условий лицензии GNU FDL и потребовать убрать авторство указанного лица, оставить, если только в качестве переводчика. Кстати, по истории правок видно, что в ен-вики статья появилась намного раньше, чем на том сайте.--Torin (talk) 04:27, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Which photo would be suitable for infobox?
--Alex Bakharev (talk) 13:29, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- Out of these two, I would prefer the right one. I cannot recognize him on the left photo Alex Bakharev (talk) 13:29, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- I've put the second one onto the article, how do you think it looks? It is more acceptable that the photo in which it looks like he is just a head, particularly given the arguments that the cropped one I put on there many moons ago is an official portrait, and is no older than the "head" photo (with the "age" of the original photo being used as an argument to replace it). --Dialogue 10:12, 7 February 2009 (UTC)]
