I'd reverted the edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Semtex&diff=110552393&oldid=110440846 ↗. Semtex was designed and produced and used as an industrial explosive (mines, construction, etc). It was not used by Army of Czechoslovakia (and neither by any other army, AFAIK).

Category keys



E.g. edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%C5%BDivnostensk%C3%A1_banka&diff=prev&oldid=103333232 ↗: it is better to explicitly specify sorting key without diacritics ↗ like <nowiki></nowiki>'''Z'''<nowiki>ivnostenska banka ↗</nowiki>, otherwise the item gets sorted (according to Unicode rules) in very funny and highly unhelpful way. AFAIK there's currently no way to fix the problem globally. Pavel Vozenilek 20:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes ↗ to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus ↗ among editors.

You are now a Reviewer



right|130px ↗
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits ↗ on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial ↗ scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed ↗ to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles ↗, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages ↗.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism ↗ or BLP violations ↗, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process ↗). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here ↗.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> Courcelles (talk) 18:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Emmanuel Lasker


Hi Tec15. Browsing some articles, in the history of the article Emmanuel Lasker ↗ I've found your edit with the replacement of the Category:Soviet people with the Category:Refugees from Nazi Germany in the Soviet Union, which seems to be partly incorrect due to the fact that Lasker obtained a Soviet citizenship, during his stay in the Soviet Union, which is properly cited in the article. My propose is to let the new category in the article, with reverting the removed one. The same case of the same topic is with the article Robert James Fischer ↗, who obtained Icelandic citizenship in his later life, and is considered an Icelandic within the proper category. Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 18:37, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
:Well, I agree that the Soviet people is an umbrella term which comprises the understanding of the population of the Soviet Union, but indeed the Soviets are considered a new demographic group, evolved of the wide variety of distinct ethnic groups living on its own territory. Apparently, the best reason because this is omitted today is the fact, that it's not a current topic, but only a time period in the past. It is strange, even roughly, but correct to say that Soviet people evolved as a new ethnic group, as the people of the United States ↗. The category German immigrants in the Soviet Union is another example wich left out of the article, and should be added. Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 11:11, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Re. Pilot Defections



I think renaming it to something like Pilot defections would be a good idea. I thought of doing that before, but wasn't quite sure whether others agreed, so I suppose that you should definitely feel free to retitle it if you like. Zloyvolsheb (talk) 11:52, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Werner Dissel ↗


Defected to East Germany? Are you sure? He was not a member of the armed forces or part of the political establishment. He was an actor and moved freely from one state to another. All the rest in the category were spies or military personnel. Bahavd Gita (talk) 13:57, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Category:American expatriates in the Soviet Union


Hi Tec15. I see that you have added 'Category:American expatriates in the Soviet Union' to many articles including Langston Hughes ↗ and Paul Robeson ↗. Neither of these two lived or worked long term in the Soviet Union. Hughes visited once in 1932, Robeson went there on tour twice. They were not "expatriates" which describes someone who is domiciled outside their country of citizenship. I would urge you to revisit your recent categorisations and see if the subjects were expatriates. If any US expatriate who visited the Soviet Union is added to this cat it will soon be devoid of usefulness. Go gently.

List of United States – Soviet Union aircraft interception and shootdowns



Hey. I stumbled upon this article due to a copyright investigation of another editor, and unfortunately found this article to be copied almost entirely from the prime source used. Sentences cannot be lifted directly from the source, they have to be in your own words. It can always be rewritten and put back on the site, but this one would have to start from scratch, as too much was copy-pasted over to here. <span style="color:#030">'''''Wizardman'''''</span> <sub><span style="color:#600">Operation Big Bear</span></sub> 18:51, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

You added Ursel Lorenzen ↗ to the category "West German Spies for East Germany". Do you have any references for this other than what is used in the article?

Espionage conviction



Hi, In three articles, you replaced two categories :Category:People convicted of espionage in Iran ↗ and :Category:People convicted of spying for the Soviet Union ↗, with :Category:Iranian people convicted of spying for the Soviet Union ↗. However, the latter is not equal to those two, because the first indicated being convicted '''in Iran''' (regardless of ''nationality'' and the ''allegiance'') and the second indicated ''allegiance'' (regardless of ''nationality'' and the convicting country); and the third is about ''nationality'' and ''allegiance'', not the country they are convicted in. Note that an Iranian national could be convicted in a third country. The right combination would be :Category:People convicted of spying for the Soviet Union in Iran ↗, I think. Regards.
