Since you are a native Russian speaker, could you please translate the Red Army award citations for Alexander Nikolayev, a Hero of the Soviet Union at these links: [1], [2].

The article that I created, Alexey Nemkov, was assessed as C class due to sketchiness.

I bring your attention to an edit to Juana Inés de la Cruz which I reverted: here.
The claim is that the particular painting of Sor Juana on Wikimedia is not 17th century, but instead is a contemporary painting by Jorge Sanchez Hernández, the editor's uncle. I left a message for her on her talk page User talk:Elenapietrini, directing her to contest the image on Wikimedia. Since you uploaded the image, I figured you needed a heads-up on this.

Hi Brandmeister. I came across the article on Venereum, a type of room in the Roman house. The way Moormann uses the term got me thinking. He uses quotes around it and emphasises that it's an early interpretation. I got in touch with an academic about it and he said the concept of the Venereum is based on a misreading of an inscription in which the term is used as an adjective. Once the term was coined others went looking for other rooms to label as such. Essentially there is no such room type, and it seemed to be a term which fell out of use a ling time ago. What do you think we should do with the Wikipedia article? Nev1 (talk) 21:47, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
When you add a new item, please move the old into the staging area. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 18:45, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Your comments on the Talk page at the Revenant article. There was an article on the studio's over-the-top promotional campaign during the awards season concerning DiCaprio and the bear, etc. See John Anderson, "Leo, the bear and the confounding Oscar race of 2016", Entertainment Weekly, Feb 12, 2016, p51. Is it worth mention of the Academy Award promotion campaign by the studio on the article page? Cheers. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 15:29, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Please check the two cited sources (from same media outlet). 1st source [6] from 9 April cites 46 dead and 19 missing. 2nd source [7] from today cites 18 missing returned dead, with 1 still missing. 46+18 makes 64 dead. For this, see WP: CALC. EkoGraf (talk) 14:25, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello again, Brandmeister. Another of the articles that I have expanded has been assessed as not meeting the MILHIST B2 standard. Could you please translate the text on the document shown under the Наградной лист tab at this Link for Ismailbek Taranchiev's Order of the Red Star citation. If the text is too small a seemingly magnified version of the document is under the Подвиг tab. Thanks in advance, Kges1901 (talk) 08:29, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
A browser bug on an old version of Firefox caused me to accidentally revert your contribution on the Batman V Superman article. I have since corrected that. I was trying to put out a different fire. Sorry for that confusion. Your edit was restored.Thefearedhallmonitor (talk) 19:41, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your edits at Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The edit summary you gave in one of those edits states a net profit of $441 million is "hardly a disappointment". While I agree that "by some" should be added here (since we don't really know to what extent it's supported by experts in the field), I don't believe you're aware that the profit is actually much, much lower. For starters, it has been reported that the film would need to cross $800 million to start turning a profit. Why so high? This is because studios only get 50-60% of ticket sales in the US, and even less in many overseas markets. When you add marketing costs to the overall production budget of $250 million, many have estimated as much as $350 million (or more) was spent to produce this film. So when its gross hit the $800 million mark, it was basically breaking even. It's definitely in the black now, but nowhere near the $400 million in your comments. Just thought I'd mention it. --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:32, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Brandmeister. The close by Explicit for Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 February 18#File:Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (escudo).svg was "The result of the discussion was: keep in Brazilian Football Confederation, remove all other instances". The file was removed from the article by Explicit with this edit after he closed the FFD discussion. For reference, the file's usage in the article had also been previously discussed at Wikipedia:Non-free content review/Archive 56#File:Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (escudo).svg in August 2014 and the file was removed by TLSuda with this edit. If you feel the close by either administrator was made in error, then feel free to discuss it with them on their user talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:23, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Brazil national football team logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:23, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
My tone in the edit summary was sharper than usual, sorry. Anyone is welcome to edit TFA text before it gets protected near its Main Page day. I don't think that edit will work in this case, though. I'm offering you a compromise in the form of adding "General" back (at the start), though I've already been reverted once when I did that, and it's not what we normally do. - Dank (push to talk) 14:07, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
