Laba diena, Dariau,
susipazinau su medziaga. Kol kas labai gerai, tegu ji ten ir buna, sutinkam,
kad naudotumet nuotraukas. Siuo metu atnaujinam savo svetaine /
www.travel-lithuania.com/kernave /, medziaga yra nepabaigta,
muziejus-rezervatas reorganizuotas i Kernaves kulturini rezervata, kuri
Lietuva siulo itraukti i UNESCO Pasaulio paveldo objektu sarasa. Musu
svetaines tikslas ir yra sio objekto, taip pat ir specializuoto
archeologijos ir istorijos muziejaus pristatymas. Taigi, jeigu jau
pristatote Kernave kaip miesteli, butina bus ta medziaga netolimoje ateityje
papildyti issamesniu kulturinio rezervato ir muziejaus, gal but ir renginiu,
pristatymu. Jeigu sutinkate, tai bandykim bendradarbiauti,
Dalia Grigoniene, dizainere (priziuriu svetaines reikaliukus)

Hello Darius,
I checked the material [on the Wpedia website -Darius Mazeika]. Very good, let it be there, we agree you to use the photos [from the website]. At the present time we update our website [], this information is not complete, museum is now reorganised into Cultural Preserve of Kernave, which is offered now to be included to UNESCO World Heritage List. Our website object is to introduce this object and specialised Museum of History and Archelogy. If you are introducing Kernave [into Wpedia -Darius Mazeika], it is necessary in the near future to add more detailed information about the Preserve and the Museum, even maybe cultural events here. If you agree on this, let's work together.

Hi Darius,
Thank you for the great amount of information you have included in your article. Excellent details and the beautiful photos! Can I just help you from an editing point of view to make this a great article? 
Can you tell me whether it was the Grand Duchy of Lithuania? I have changed the reference to the "Cultural Preserve of Kernave" to read: "External link", as this is the usual Wiki convention. Of which Lithuanian district is Kernave the center? Can you tell me about the courtyard at the bend of the Neris, and has the river in the Pajauta Valley a name? The mounds in the distance, are they hills? Can you tell me why the 10,000 year history is mysterious?
If it is alright with you, I will help you with this.

I think they are not under GFDL but have a specific permission to be used here (who's the author anyway?). Lysy 1 July 2005 17:52 (UTC)
: There are free pictures on Commons now, I think we should phase out the permission ones (they are not very high res anyway). Justinc 23:49, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I believe this article would benefit from converting from an informal "tourist pamflet" into a more encyclopedic style. --Lysytalk 11:21, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Style

message: To Lysy, and to whom else it may concern, same question as to why the Polish name for this town has be included in the article, as was asked on the discussion page about Panevėžys. Dr. Dan 15:44, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dr. Dan, you've already asked this question in my talk page yesterday and I have already explained this to you (and asked you a question in turn, for which I'm still awaiting your answer). In the meantime, can I ask you another one: Why are you now addressing me with exactly the same question in a number of other places ? I'm still assuming your good faith, but could you please explain this behaviour ? --Lysytalk 16:26, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

text: The reason is that many people, including myself, have spent many hours reaching the consensus, so if you're asking for the patience of repeating the same arguments again and again, I would first like to ask you to take time to read the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names) and contribute there. Then the general rules can be applied to a number of articles without the necessitiy of wasting time at each of them. I'm commenting out the Polish name in Kernavė article in order to avoid the lengthy and inproductive dispute. Now you might want to consider working on the article itself, which could benefit from copyediting by someone with as good command of English as yours. --Lysytalk 09:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Same Question

message: I'm considered that the article is not well balanced. Most of the text is devoted to 20th century buildings of the church and primary school. I've tried to add some more information about the history and the archeologic site but it still seems way out of the right proportion. --Lysytalk 10:50, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
