Talk:Youri Egorov

message: I've removed the euthanasia info that, though referenced, is actually third-hand (at least) material. The Maxim Gershuoff memoir that is cited in the Philadelphia Inquirer article can be viewed here:  It's Not All Song and Dance: see page 151. It says,"Paul Strauss told us he had heard in Europe that ...Egorov had a lethal injection".  I tried several times to rewrite the section to include this material accurately - reflecting that Gershunoff was told of this by Strauss who was told of this by someone else. but finally, I believe it is unencyclopedic to include due to its hearsay nature.

thread_title:  Regarding euthanasia info 

message: Dear Stanvanloon,
You have added a claim without source. Please provide a source for your claim. Unsourced claims are likely to be removed from wikipedia. 
Simultaneously, you have removed a claim that was sourced. You have not removed the source of which you claim that it is incorrect. Therefore, the current version of this page gives a misleading impression, i.e. that the claim that Egorov was naturalized as Dutch citizen has a source, albeit the source says the opposite, namely, that Egorov did not obtain the Dutch nationality. This cannot have been your intention, as I do not doubt your good will to do justice towards this artist (WP:GF).

Talk:Yuli Daniel

message: Given the dark quality of several of Daniel's publications (see the Day of Permitted Murders in "Moscow Speaking") it does not seem appropriate to use the blanket term "satirical" to describe them. Only recently the theatre director Kama Ginkas described in Novaya gazeta the impact of Daniel's probing stories on his contemporaries, a cynical audience not unlike that today.Выпуск № 52 от 22 мая 2015, Кама Гинкас: «…Кто-то кого-то убил на мосту рядом с Кремлем» Знаменитый режиссер — о нерве времени, смысле протеста и о том, стоит ли вообще «заморачиваться»...

Talk:Yulia Drunina

message: Could someone who speaks Russian please translate the content of Drunina's suicide note? Katharineamy (talk) 13:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's a literal translation of the note. I'm not a native English speaker, so it may require some style and perhaps grammar editing. "Why am I going to pass away? Staying in this terrible, fighting "iron-elbowed" world is only posible for such an imperfect creature like me if it has strongly secured rear. Besides I lost two things that supported me: my love to the old Crimean woods and requirement of creativity. It's better for me to pass away now on my free will, while I'm not still physically broken and spiritually grown old. However, a thought on a suicide sin torments me in spite of my being non-believer. But if God really exists, he will understand me." Alexey.tses (talk) 10:42, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

text: This note does not explain anything. She explained this in her poem:
Ухожу, нету сил. Лишь издали
(Всё ж крещёная!) помолюсь
За таких вот, как вы, — за избранных
Удержать над обрывом Русь.
Но боюсь, что и вы бессильны.
Потому выбираю смерть.
Как летит под откос Россия,
Не могу, не хочу смотреть!
(read also "Enchanted with death" by Svetlana Aleksievich) 
I think these words from her war poetry are probably most famous:
Я только раз видала рукопашный,
Раз наяву. И тысячу — во сне.
Кто говорит, что на войне не страшно,
Тот ничего не знает о войне.

Talk:Yury Yaremenko

message: I wrote a revision of the article on Yuri Yaremenko based on the Russian Wikipedia, the website of the Institute of which he was the director, and biographic material in one of his posthumous books. After being available for several days, it was reverted to its previous stub-like state without any explanation by one bgwhite. I gather that this bgwhite is a Wikipedia regular if not insider and will continue to revert improvements in the article without explanation. So is it possible help Wikipedia to present adequate coverage of this distinguished Russian economist? It appears not.

Talk:Direct on line starter

message: The animated picture in this article, while pretty, seems completely out of context: There is no explanation of how the motor actually starts or reference in the write-up to labels of relay KM1 and nothing about relay A1/A2. The write-up refers to the control circuitry running off 24 V but the diagram clearly shows a phase-to-phase voltage (L1/L2) in the control circuit. There is no explanation of how the latching of the relays works either (how does KM1 stay latched?) 
The article does not explain "speed" reversal adequately. Neither by the wirteup nor the animation. Technically it is the direction which has reversed and not the speed. (Speed is a scalar and therefore has no direction.) I will make these latter changes, but am unsure how the animation should be explained. --Daleh T 10:13, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

3. Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable.

It would be nice in my opinion if they were in the table as long as the column header was labeled something appropriate given their haphazard industry adoption. What would be an appropriate header? How about 'non-standard numerical'? You are right when you say quite a few manufacturers use the same set. While not an official standard, it is still encyclopaedic i think.
