Welcome

Hello, Odessaukrain, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

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.

Finally, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

DYK!

Did you know? was updated. On August 6, 2006, a fact from the article Potemkin Stairs, which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Happy New Year! (Ukrainian: З Новим Роком!, Russian: С Новым Годом!). I wish you in 2007 to be spared of the real life troubles so that you will continue to care about Wikipedia. We will all make it a better encyclopedia! I also wish things here run smoothly enough to have our involvement in Wikipedia space at minimum, so that we can spend more time at Main. --Irpen

Template:Odessa

Why you didn't discuss about changes? And what is it - Children's Palace? Nobody knows this name of Vorontsov's Palace. Please, be correct! --Assedo 13:01, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Assedo, I messaged you here asking you to fix the template. I like your ideas, I just don't know how to fix the template myself. Odessaukrain 23:27, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Administrative nomination: Please consider this posting

We were in an AfD dispute last year. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ernie_(Family_Guy)

I noticed that you removed Image:IM IN UR WIKI RVRTING UR EDITS lolcat.jpg "I'm in your wiki reverting your edits", but based on the complaints above, your poor behavior in nominating AfDs has not changed.

As I earlier quoted to you another user who left Wikipedia, liking it to your behavior:

I had become involved in the “articles for deletion” venue, where I began becoming the target of immense hatred...All the while, I wondered why the hell I was doing it. I began to realize that, for me, the nasty truth was that much of it was a power trip. Oh, don’t get me wrong: my actions were taken because, in part, I did truly believe that the articles I nominated didn’t belong. But it was indeed a manifestation of a darker side of me — I enjoyed the fact that I could hurt someone — make them angry and mad and defensive. Because in my real life, that’s not something I do. I’m Mister Friendly with nearly everyone I meet, and I’m actually a really nice guy in about 99% of circumstances. But something about the process brought out the worst in me — aggression and adrenaline, all funneled through a keyboard without danger of being punched in the face. Resisting the temptation to say “fuck you, fanboy,” and instead turning it into a passive-aggressive “I truly believe that your article is not notable, and would remind you that Wikipedia has policies regarding not attacking your fellow editors and being civil to them” (ah, did I have a gift for the bull-lingo) ...I got a dark thrill out of seeing people froth and rage and turn into drooling rabid ready-for-heart-attack messes because they weren’t getting the fight they wanted out of me. And another side of me looked at that dark thrill and went, “What the fuck are you doing, Mike?”

Yes, I sincerely believe your deletion of the Ernie (Family Guy) article was in bad faith. I am glad that you have the moral certainty and superiority, in your infinite wisdom, to decide what is "good" and what is "bad".

I want other editors who come here with grievances about your wikilawyering and manipulation of wikipolicy to push your power trips, to read the above quote, and understand why you probably do it.

In addition, many editors who want to become admins start by putting pages up for deletion. I hope this quote and the way you push your self-righteous power trips is what causes you to lose your admin nomination.

I am not the first nor the last person who will direct their "immense hatred" toward your "aggression and adrenaline" to "hurt someone".Odessaukrain (talk) 04:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit disappointed because sufficient time has passed since this AFD for you to reconsider some of these opinions, and perhaps gain some perspective. Ernie was deleted by consensus of Wikipedia editors, and for good reason. You have no reason to insult me on my Talk page. I must ask you please to not post further harangues on my Talk page. / edg ☺ ☭ 05:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry so long in my response.

Your original response on my page,[1] and your edits on your page,[2] in which you prominently put this at the top of your posting:

[[Image:IM IN UR WIKI RVRTING UR EDITS lolcat.jpg|thumb|right|Teh kitteh in qweschun]]

and your message to me on your user page[3]

shows that despite your passive aggressive tone, my assessment is probably correct. Odessaukrain (talk) 22:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
