Speedy deletion of Stretch ceiling

A tag has been placed on Stretch ceiling requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 20:58, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Thumbnail sizes

Welcome to Wikipedia! I've noticed that you have changed the thumbnail size of several pictures in their articles. It is best to leave it as the default "thumb" and to not specify a particular size (ex. 160px) in the general case. Because users view Wikipedia on different monitor resolutions, Wikipedia will automatically adjust the size based on the user's preferences. If you have any questions, feel free to write to me on my talk page. Happy wikiediting! (EhJJ)^TALK 16:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Alex, WP:AGF please. The revert of your edit was something common for contentious subject areas. Please improve you own edits (see article talk page). This is the way to resolve such disagreements. My very best wishes (talk) 23:20, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

P.S. This is not really related; just my personal opinion. Of course Ukrainian government would be wise to allow her access to the competition. And yes, selecting her by the first channel in Russia was strange: Samoilova is a very poor/weak singer. My very best wishes (talk) 23:36, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

My very best wishes, they always assign, no adequate pre-competition was usually made, this time is for provocation which executed in a scenario as Russia wanted. (My opinion). First EBU says we need to respect laws of host now (in few days) they order us to change it just because they want. Even more, there will be no review for her ban, beleive me, too many officials said about this to be final. Surely, EBU will lose money for translation lost in Russia, they mean it in indirect way. We have a war with Russia and we've lost Crimea (today two reported to be killed). I think Samoilova is just a victim here too, and she will stay banned even if we lose this contest in future. Mass opinion in Ukraine is pro-governmental here, some are saying even to shut in right now, some saying when we have dead citizen in war we don't need to celebrate, very few sharing your point of view about letting her in. — Alex Khimich (talk) 23:59, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

My very best wishes, found poll in media (just in case you're interested in unofficial social network rumors), first variant is to ban her (69%), Music is not politics (15%), I want exception for her (7%), I'm alarmed about reputation of Ukraine (5%), Variant in comments (2%), 8000+ vouters. Saw many of such this one is representative. — Alex Khimich (talk) 00:17, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

I can agree that the law should equally apply to everyone (69%), but I think this law/decision had not to be adopted at the first place because it does not serve Ukrainian interests. Yes, banning dangerous individuals if fine, but she is not one of them. Banning her (and other "sovkov" who simply visited Crimea) only harms the public image and therefore interests of Ukraine. This is not to say that taking Crimea served interests of Russian people. Quite the opposite. Same can be said about the budget, appointments and certain policies by the Trump administration in US (they will do a lot of harm to US), and so on.

Russia–Ukraine relations in the Eurovision Song Contest‎

Before I say anything, I'd like you to keep in mind that I'm from New Zealand, so I don't have strong opinions on Russia–Ukraine relations in general. However, whether or not you are correct, and whether or not this was your intention, your edits have been disruptive and rather provocative, such as this edit summary. Also, whether you realize it or not, your English capabilities may not be sufficient to have a civil discussion on the talk page, because as far as I see, it has led to miscommunication after miscommunication. If you truly feel that the editors on this page are lobbying against you, rather than complain to the people who are sincerely editing to the best of their ability, I suggest you either leave the matter be or request formal mediation, as I can guarantee that no good will come of this whole matter otherwise.

Please understand that I hope that this hasn't soured your experience of editing Wikipedia, and that my advice is not for my benefit but for yours. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me one on my talk page. --Tuxipedia (talk) 00:37, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for advices, I print faster than I check it, so, yes, many issues found. E... do you spell check when you're worring or angry? Let them think we all morons here, I don't want to waste time. — Alex Khimich (talk) 01:01, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Flatliner. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
  • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references

Thank you. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:33, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Chrissymad, same sentence without refs would be ok? Alex Khimich (talk)

Alex Khimich As it's redlinked and orphaned, not mentioned elsewhere, No. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:54, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
