I am really willing to participate in work on Belarusian topics on the Wikipedia! Right now I am working on a new version of the article Belarusian rouble!--Czalex 21:42, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: The Featured picture will only show a picture that is Belarus related and has passed consensus to become a featured picture. I will look for some of them myself later on. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 05:05, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Lukashenko is not one of the recepients of the title. From the article: "The only heroes that are currently living are Vital Kramko and Pavieł Maryjaŭ." Michajił Karčmit did receive his title in person, but died in 2004. The only real reference to Lukashenko that I made is that Lukashenko is the state official to issue and present the title.

message: If I get the time, or someone beats me to it, I will create a tools template. This will list the various stubs tags we can use for Belarusian articles, various tags on how to put images and audio. Or, if you think a template is not a good idea, then we can create a page full of tools and link it via the "Things you can do..." template. Suggestions?

message: Controversal articles by mainly Lithuanian authors appear in last time: Eastern Vilnius region, Disputed territories of Baltic States.
I think articles about Etnic Belarusian territories as parts of other states, Vilenscyna and Bielastoccyna should be presented for the Wikipedia to be objective.--Czalex 20:24, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The second article that is listed survived a VFD vote, mainly for the article title. If you wish to start those, go right ahead. Pretty much, if you got an article idea, be like Nike and Just Do It! Zscout370 (Sound Off) 20:27, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fact Checking 

message: Crossposted to: Wikipedia talk:Polish Wikipedians' notice board, Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board, Wikipedia talk:Wikiportal/Belarus, Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board
I'd like to propose that Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarussian (and anybody else who wants to join, you will excuse me if I won't list everyone here, I tried to reach everybody on the Wikipedia:Regional notice boards) Wikipedians join forces and try together to promote some articles to FA, instead of (what seems to be more common, unfortunately) fighting over which name should go first and similar petty issues :>
In this spirit I invite you all to comment on Polish-Muscovy War (1605-1618), an article I (mostly, wiki being wiki) have written over the past few months. It can definitely benefit from introducing Russian/English spelling of some names/people that I added knowing only Polish spelling, adjusting my Polish POV and adding more info from Russian/other sources I have no access to. I believe this article is fairly comprehensive, and we can make it reach FA. In few days I will submit it to Peer Review, and if there are no disputes on PR/article's talk page I will submit it to FA in over a week. 
Once again, I invite your comments and edits, and hope this will be the first of many similar projects that proves we can work on together, to show our Eastern European history and culture to English-speaking world, most of whom unfortunately seem never to heard about Muscovy of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. If you like this initative. For now, I invite everybody to copy their replies to my talk page; if there is enough interest, perhaps we can create a serparate page to discuss it (Wikiproject:Eastern Europe or sth like this). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:35, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

message: The new Portal namespace is a reader oriented namespace rather than an extension of the Wikipedia namespace. It isn't intended that every WikiPortal will make it into the Portal namespace (see WP:PORTAL).
If this page is to remain in the Portal namespace, it will need to be adapted so that it is low maintenance and to be focused to the reader (who may be reading it on a mirror site). In particular, the Portal news will have to go (maybe to be replaced by a link to the Belarus WikiProject), the reference to "wikipedia" should be changed to a more general reference on how to contribute, and Collaboration of the Week should be transcluded in from somewhere (and preferably wouldn't appear as it needs too much updating), and the Portal information will have to go (perhaps over to the talk page).
If it's not to be reader-focused, the page should be moved to Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Belarus, jguk 06:27, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I am creating a temp page at Portal:Belarus/Temp to fix the said problem. Since this portal is a one-man opperation, I do not mind fixing it. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 06:29, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good luck. Even more reason to keep it low (or zero) maintenance if it's a one-man effort, jguk 06:58, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, the absence of an edit option which would link to a Portal namespace is a concern here. I too would like to help out to address this problem. --Siva1979Talk to me 19:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I wish to address a minor concern here. Notice that all the featured portals on Wikipedia are linked to a Portal namespace. But the edit links in the portal boxes link to a template namespace. For more information about this, please read this subsection. Isn't it better to standardize this on Wikipedia? --Siva1979Talk to me 19:45, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: need help with the above article: the complete lack of ghits for an obscure 19c writer proves nothing, but some other details (possible non-existence, major influence publishes his major work too late to have influenced him & i'm pretty sure the thing about the vienna circle is just plain wrong etc) make me suspicious. cld someone who might have a clue about this (i certainly don't) pls have a look. thx   ⇒ bsnowball  18:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Me and zedlik had discussed this question at Talk:Belarusian_language#Kazimir_Malevich. Our common opinion was Malevich Polish ethnicity has better support in sources (primary and secondary). Now it is a time for a reasonable choice of a person replacing Malevich at this collage. Any ideas? Bogomolov.PL (talk) 19:00, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Malevich (or Kosciuszko or Mickiewicz) are all known as what today would be called ethnic Belarusians, I would rather think of replacing Alexander Bogdanov, who may be of Belarusian origin but is much less known as a representative of Belarus, or not the best photo of Bahdanovich, cut from below. Vasil Bykaŭ, Yanka Kupala or somebody modern like Victoria Azarenka, Max Mirnyi or Lavon Volski would be good to add. --Czalex 00:18, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Malevich (or Kosciuszko or Mickiewicz) are all known as Poles as their Polish ethnicity has a strong support with reliable primary and secondary sources. A hypothesis of their Belarusian ethnicity is less supported. But Vasil Bykaŭ and Yanka Kupala are (in my opinion) the best choice. Bogomolov.PL (talk) 06:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
