Can you help?!?
I am in constant need of photos for various articles I am working on, and I am in dire need of the following photos from around the globe. So I turn to the community in the hope that someone out there is able to take the photos that I require. If you can help with photos of any of these subjects, please upload them to Commons, and then post a short message with a link to the photos on my English Wikipedia talk page. In the event you don't have a Commons log-in, you can email them to me at russavia.wikipedia@gmail.com and advise which licence you would like to licence them under, and I can do the uploading, categorisation, etc. I have provided as much detail on what I require, including addresses, links to online maps, and photos of the subject that I am unable to upload to Commons, in order for photographers to identify the subject I require. More info at User:Russavia/Required photos |

- It needs to be noted 1) Slutsis/Slucis was a member of the Civic Union 2) Slutsis was a major contributor to the party 3) Slutsis was expelled from the party after the scandal in order not to damage the new government 4) another Latvian doctor also made such Russophobic statements 5) that same doctor was also expelled from the party 6) the Latvian FM scandal threatened to scuttle the Latvian Prez's trip to Russia, after he drew almost universal condemnation in Russia for agreeing with the Russophobic Slutsis

Like you just did at RfArb/A: It's impolite, combative, and in the long run of things, fairly useless to the Arbitrators. See this discussion thread on more Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests#Statement_by_uninvolved.... Thanks. SirFozzie (talk) 19:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Refer to User_talk:Russavia#Collect right above here. It is dishonest of an editor to claim to be uninvolved, particular in a thread which is discussing topic bans on two editors in which Collect was more than a willing participant in edit warring, plastering notices on people's talk pages warning them of 3RR, when he was edit warring, and ignoring talk page discussions. It is now becoming a running joke. It may not be of any use to Arbitrators, but it of use to the general community who might be otherwise clueless as to an editor's level of involvement. But hey, if you say it is combative, I won't do it in future. I have removed all pages, except for those in my userspace from my watchlist, am no longer keeping any major tabs on discussions, with the exception of the clarification request, so I thank you for the link; I will post a comment over there.

Avicopter AC313
Nice find! Since we do have an article for the Avicopter AC313, I'ved moved the photo there from the Aérospatiale Super Frelon/Z-8 page. - BilCat (talk) 10:08, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for that BilCat, sorry just saw your message now. Got a heap of new permissions as well, with a lot of rare pics becoming available to us. Russavia Let's dialogue 19:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi
I left you a message [1]. No need to discuss anything. This is simply my suggestion. Biophys (talk) 00:42, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- Please STOP stalking my edits!! You have NEVER edited the article before, nor have you ever commented on the talk page. Taken in with the recent similar case, it is bloody obvious you are stalking my edits. And when you add the Aeroflot article into the fray, it is fricking obvious that you are still treating WP as a battleground. Isn't it fantastic that here I am, banned from interacting with you, yet you, given your previous (and still current) harrassment on myself, are not hit with a likewise ban. Stop using interaction bans as a weapon to control content, and to lock people who you consider an opponent out of an article. Otherwise you will find yourself getting raked over the coals. Russavia Let's dialogue 01:01, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- P.S. As well as this being a request for you to stop stalking my edits, this is also a request to leave me alone. That means stay off my talk page! Russavia Let's dialogue 01:04, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- Fine, I have no problem with not coming to your talk page. I thought it would be in your best interests to comply with your editing restrictions, and therefore left this message at your talk page (you was active but did not respond at article talk page for a few hours). Yes, I occasionally talked with Vecrumba and TLAM and watched what they do. They did not mind. Biophys (talk) 01:29, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- Will someone get it thru this editors thick skull that stalking and harrassment is not on. And also tell them to stay away from me Otherwise I will explode. Russavia Let's dialogue 01:38, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

I submitted it here. Thanks, Biophys (talk) 16:54, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

opinion on Lizzie Phelan
Hi buddy. Would you be so kind as to give your opinion on the Lizzie Phelan entry as a member of the Russian Mass Media task force? Cheers GrandPhilliesFan (talk) 15:27, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hi GPF, thanks for the message. At the moment I am having to deal with some pretty serious harrassment at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Russavia so right now I can't look at it in any great depth. However, I did have a quick glance at it, and it does look like a "borderline" case somewhat. Try to find as many independent sources as you can. But at the moment, it looks like it is headed for a no consensus decision. If I get a chance in the next day or so, and the AfD is still active, I will see what I can dig up on it for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more immediate assistance to you, given the circumstances I hope you understand. Cheers, Russavia Let's dialogue 15:37, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

- LOL that is fucking priceless. So now not only do I have people stalking me on WP, but they are doing it offline as well. That's nice dear. Gotta go, I have a phone call to make. Russavia Let's dialogue 12:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- I went to make the phone call, but it was at that point that I realised that I am dead. What am I to do? Russavia Let's dialogue 14:40, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- Geez, I go on vacation for a week, and that's when you choose to die? How inconsiderate! You Aussies have no manners whatsoever. Well, as a consolation, at least we now know that Halloween is every bit as magical as it's claimed to be—any other time during the year your spirit would have certainly already departed!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); November 1, 2011; 18:13 (UTC)
Ukrainians
I would be grateful for some support at Ukrainians. Some discussion-ignoring vandals want me to break the 3RR rule. Thank you! --Voyevoda (talk) 15:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- It's best not to edit war on the article -- that goes for both parties. I am currently blocked for a week because of breaching an interaction ban (refer to WP:AE), but even when I come off the block, I am afraid I am not going to be able to help...as much as I support the way you are handling yourself in general (except with some of the reverts) -- at least you are discussing. However, I am quite disturbed by this from SeikoEn
I agree with Livivske. Also, we must write from ukrainian point of view because there is to many different ponit of views, including russian one. To include everyone's opinion, sometimes it would no longer make sense, it is essential that we stick to facts and sources, primary Ukrainian sources because page is about Ukrainiansand their tragedy . There is no POV here, I believe Voyevoda understands that. Thanks!
That to me is the sign that you may have a problem on your hands, in that WP:ADVOCACY is going on in the article. That is most definitely not allowed -- ALL views have to be afforded equal consideration.
I also do support your comments on removing qualifiers from Holodomor -- there is no need to describe it as genocide, when only a small portion of the world recognises it as such -- the term itself is already heavily laden with POV, there is no need to destroy any notion of WP:NPOV any further.
You might be better off requesting an WP:RFC for assistance from uninvolved, third-parties if you still have any concerns. I'm sorry that this is probably not the answer you were hoping for; I have no desire to get involved with yet more editors with rabid nationalistic tendencies as is apparent from that talk page. Keep plodding along and try to find a solution amongst yourselves is all I can say. Russavia Let's dialogue 16:09, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Bitchipedia
To anyone who is interested, the photos above have been called "crappy" over at Wikipedia Review by a bitchipedian (Archived link). To them, I say, who the f' cares what you think? Or is it that you simply have nothing better to do than denigrate everything I do on this project. Or perhaps you are just threatened by the very presence of myself on this project. But, hey, if you really think that way, why is it that you don't have the balls to say so onwiki, instead you have to rant about myself on a non-WP website? I guess it's just a sign of utter immaturity and insecurity about oneself.
But what makes it even worse, is that you are publicly denigrating the work of some of the 130+ aviation photographers whom I have contacted, and who have kindly made available their photos for use on the project. Such comments are reprehensible, and make me question what is trying to be achieved by that editor. Unbeknownst to them, I am trying to "recruit" new editors from amongst these photographers, and aviation enthusiasts, and the last thing we need is for totally moronic and denigrating comments like that being made in a public forum. The comments don't denigrate me, but denigrate other contributors to this project.
So please, stop and give yourself a big pat on the back. <begin sarcasm> You are an absolute legend, and we should be holding you up as a shining light of what we look for in editors on this project.</end sarcasm>
Perhaps WR should rename itself to Bitchipedia, after all that's all the site is good for. Russavia Let's dialogue 05:37, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- No, mate, it's this site that deserves the title. WR is a breath of fresh air compared to 'pedia. The only consolation is that russky-pedia is even worse. Why waste your own time here? NVO (talk) 08:25, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- I wouldn't worry too munch about the person in question and his kind. WP may not be perfect, but that's just because we're people. Yet, Wikipedia is the greatest sources of information anywhere in the known universe. They are fascinated enough to read through the project and discuss it in forums. Essentially the complaint from Radek is that because not all articles meet FA standards, the project is BS, and therefore his and his kind do not want to contribute. I suspect their main reason for not wanting to participate is that they believe they cannot contribute at the level of quality they find here. They are awed at the size of the project, that any topic they may or may not have an interest in has an article, the quality of the projects best articles and lists, and the brilliance of our best imagery. It freaks them out, because they think they could not do the quality work they see, and they cling together in an echobox, finding any shortcoming they can of the project instead of joining and finding their potential. Arsenikk (talk) 08:53, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- Arsenikk, the editor in question is a former member of the WP:EEML, whom is still engaging in harrassment and hounding of myself on Wikipedia. We are both currently blocked because of Wikipedia:AE#Russavia. In some areas they are quite productive, but when it comes to me, they are nothing but disruptive. But what really shits me is that this particular editor is conniving. To "our faces", in trying to get me blocked from other areas, he says that I am productive in aviation areas, yet behind our backs he denigrates myself as an editor, and denigrates other contributors in the process. He also claims he doesn't stalk, nor keep tabs of, my edits, yet here he is bitching about myself on another website. And we as a community allow such things to occur, because we as a community are too gutless to let people speak their minds. Mind you, I doubt such a person would try saying such things on Wikipedia, because it knocks themselves off the holier-than-thou pedestal that they have placed themselves on.

- I'm shocked to hear such characteristics. The photos above are of a good quality, and some of them are really cool, that's without mentioning their encyclopedic value as related to subjects depicted. One should either really dislike aviation or get too much affected by personal issues to write things like "crappy" about those images. GreyHood Talk 10:36, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think it is total cluelessness to be calling any of the photos above "crappy". Or perhaps they simply have a shitty attitude. But to bitch about them on WR is just weird behaviour to engage in -- especially when they claim they are not keeping tabs on my editing. Wouldn't you say that this is evidence that they are clearly following my edits? :) Russavia Let's dialogue 12:11, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe I should join Bitchipedia and suck up the rear ends of other editors over there. Perhaps I am better off here -- it's enough that one has to deal with dishonest miscreants here, without having to deal with the dregs of Wikipedia outcasts over there as well.

Talking about dishonesty. I have been informed that Radek is now trying to excuse his behaviour with this, claiming:
Yeah, ok, I just said that to see if my off-Wiki activities were being stalked, which they apparently are. Some of those pictures are pretty neat-o.?
Frankly, it's rubbish. I was alerted to his initial thread by another Bitchipedia reader. Radek/Volunteer Marek claims that he wants me to stay the hell away from him; one would then assume that he would stay away from me as well. He obviously has been following my edits on Wikipedia, because he has referenced my edits on WR. He could also have referenced those edits that he is seeing from not stalking me, in a more appropriate tone, without denigrating the work of myself on the project, and without denigrating the contributions of other non-editors. Unfortunately, Radek/VM has a long history of denigrating other editors and their work, and often in the most incivil way. Refer to this, where he engages in some heinous personal attacks on User:Estlandia (formerly Miacek), calling him an asshole. Or refer to this (Archived) where he accuses myself of "cheating" at DYK. Such nice behaviour from Radek isn't it?
Now bring this back to his recent stalking of me to Controversies and criticisms of RT. It is obvious from the above he has my talk page on his watchlist.
Here is the version of events:
- 07:50, 26 October 2011 - Volunteer Marek made this edit, and then took a few hour break.
- 08:42, 26 October 2011 - Biophys, who has never edited RT (network) before, nor ever used the talk page, posts a warning on my talk page. It is obvious, after his following of edits over at Aeroflot that he is following my edits.
- 09:01, 26 October 2011 - I respond to my stalker
- 09:04, 26 October 2011 - I add a note telling my stalker to stay off my talk page
- 09:29, 26 October 2011 - my stalker returns to post further, after being told to stay away
- 09:38, 26 October 2011 - I post a general message in response to my stalker coming back to my talk page after telling them to stay away
- 10:40, 26 October 2011 - An hour after my first stalker comes to my talk page, Marek stalks me over to that article and reverts me outright. Note, he has never edited the article before, nor has he ever used the talk page.
- Marek claims that he was following the edits of other editors. The editor in question, has only ever edited that article once as per this almost two weeks previously. There is no rhyme nor reason as to why Marek who has never edited that article, nor RT (network) on previous occasions, would put this on his watchlist. It is obvious he has simply plucked a name off the history list, and claimed he has been following their edits.
However, the 62 minute time frame between Biophys coming to my talk page, and Marek's revert, is a pretty good indication of how he got to that article. Taken in with the fact that he is now bitching about me on WR, it is obvious that he is watching my talk page, and his first edit upon his return from a break was to stalk me to that article and engage in an outright revert -- given the nature of Biophys' stalking, which Marek would be aware of (I don't AGF in that these editors always plead ignorance -- only ignorant people will believe it continually), his revert was does knowingly to provoke myself, and given Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive66#Russavia (where Marek was blocked), he was well aware he was breaching his interaction ban. He did this to provoke a reaction in a most disruptive way.
As to Marek claiming I am stalking him over at WR, as one can see, I've been way too busy uploading to Commons, and doing other bits and pieces to bother with stalking others to see what they are bitching about. One can only take his comments over there as another attempt to dig himself out of a hole. Don't let him get away with it yet again. Russavia Let's dialogue 14:32, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
