::No it is not because of reduced size. Did you check the link to the 9M pixel scan at [[:Image:Prokudin-Gorskii-19-v2.png]]. Prokudin-Gorskii was probably using a large format camera so he had plenty of resolution - the trick is in his experimentation with emulsion linearity to get acurate colour reproduction. And more particular his use of three exposures for each colour filter, which limited him to fairly static subjects. If you look carefully, some of the images have registration problems. |

Welcome!
Hi Mno! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:
Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.
If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:
If you are not sure where to help out, you can find a task here:
Happy editing!
P.S. This above was a template. Someone else would have placed it at your talk soon if not me. I just want to add that I am glad there are more users coming interested in UA-RU topics. Some of the debates you noticed are old and please feel free to ask for more specific Wikipedia links if you don't have time/patience to read through so many talk pages. I will respond to your Lavra entry there some time later.
Also, you might be interested to know that you can easily get a good handle of what's going in in several UA and RU projects. For Russia, there is a moderately active portal but it is live and maintained. You can find it at Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Russia.
There is also a Ukrainian Portal we created with several editors but it is still in a draft stage, so it is in my own userspace yet waiting for the layout to be polished and the page moved to its final destination. You can still access it now at User:Irpen/uawp. See you around... -Irpen July 5, 2005 18:30 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the welcome. I've made some changes to the Kiev pages previously (I uploaded the photo of the lilac gardens last year) but wasn't really too involved. I'll be lurking around. mno 6 July 2005 02:12 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Lubny trainstation.jpg. Its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted. Please leave a note on the image page about the source of the image. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, for a list of copyright tags, that you can use. Thank you. <>Who?¿? 7 July 2005 04:47 (UTC)
- Added, please see the Image:Lubny trainstation.jpg page for source. Source doesn't mark any copyrights.
Kiev Today
I've created a sub-section for this. See here.
- I would be glad to assist you with that but my English is not really good, as you can see ;) so I will proceed in lurking mode, which is familiar for you :)) --pavlosh 8 July 2005 17:29 (UTC)
- Hi pavlosh. Thanks for your interest! If you want, feel free to insert the text in either Russian or Ukrainian and I would be able to translate it into English. As I mentioned somewhere before, I haven't lived in Kiev for 10 years (although I have visited it several times), so you probably know modern Kiev much better than I do. It would be great if you could add something about the people - what they like to do (did it change since the 90s?), new places of interest that opened (new opera, theater, whatever), information about the new "microbuses" that are doing better than the public yellow busses, and so on. :) -- mno July 8, 2005 17:35 (UTC)
- Hi mno! OK, I will try to do "my best" :)
- As for now:
- No new opera
- Theaters - there is more than 20 (someabout 23: 5 "academic" and 17+ municipal). Regretfully I'm not the expert in that…
- People spend much more time in cafe, restaurant, night club (it's not that "night clubs" that was in "90s") just for dancing
- --pavlosh 8 July 2005 18:16 (UTC)
- I actually meant this list (opera, museum, theater) as a general example so that something small doesn't get listed. I like your last point, about people spending more time in Cafe, etc. That's something that's definitely "modern Kiev".

Hi, I've edited the picture in your nomination (Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/BlackSea near Soci) to correct the sloping horizon. Do you support the editeed version? Enochlau 02:47, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
- Looks like it was taken just recently. The quality really is amazing. Of course, probably that is because the image size has been reduced to increase the quality. But still, amazing. -- mno 21:42, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
