[edit] DYK Great start

• ...that after the death of Ukrainian novelist Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky, a museum was built in his hometown of Vinnytsia, films were made and his son was executed for having counter-revolutionary contacts? by Narking

OK, is that a fair summary? If your happy to go with this then we(ie you) need to put inline refs/citations on all the key facts mentioned in the hook. Cheers Victuallers 10:40, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I guess it's a fair summary. Even though I'm not sure one can say the museum was built in 1927 since the building was standing there even earlier (Kotsiubynsky was born there in 1864). And thanks for noticing my first article in English Wikipedia! Narking 22:20, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

On November 16, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Salutation/reqest

Hello Narking, and welcome to the Ukraine WikiProject (my apologies for the late greeting), I hope you decide to stay as there are far too few editors in this sector of Wikipedia. Anyways, I know this might sound like a stupid question, but do you have a picture of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry? I'm working on its article and I can't seem to find a free license image. I just figured from your commons gallery that you might have some images of Ukrainian institutional buildings.

If you are thinking of staying with 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 announce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.

Also, 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. Welcome again, and great job with Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky :-) Bogdan ^що? 23:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the greeting! I will try to contribute as much as possible to various Ukrainian subjects (and probably also to other subjects, and why not also Russian ones). And I do have pictures that could illustrate articles here and there. But unfortunately I don't have one of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. Besides recent pictures I also have some interesting old pictures from Kyiv taken during the 1940s that I hope to be able to contribute with, such as this one of the Verkhovna Rada. But as you can see it's still not clear if it's possible to use such pictures here. Although right now it seems like I will win the case and then I can upload more. And good luck with the article about the Ukrainian Defense Ministry! Narking 22:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Former" provinces of Sweden

Hi. Thanks for your message and filling in more context. As you may've guessed, I used "former" as it seems to be in similar use elsewhere, but wasn't aware that it's not really appropriate for Sweden's provinces. I'm in the middle of trying to update some other templates I found, but will revisit, rename and amend Template:Former provinces of Sweden a little later. Hope that's okay. Sardanaphalus (talk) 18:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Of course it's ok! By the way the present adminstrative provinces (län) have been changed over the years and are now under discussion again and they might soon be changed to bigger regions instead. But the different landskap borders hasn't really changed despite changes in the different län. Narking (talk) 19:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I've now renamed the template to Template:Provinces of Sweden and updated the links to it. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. Sardanaphalus (talk) 23:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
