message: Did lots of stuff to it! It deserved it tho. Do have some questions, but computer has a nasty virus which must be taken care of soon, else work would have been lost. One quick note, a subsection called Parks would be nice..Hope to talk to you later...Novickas 15:46, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Some questions:
"Tuskulėnai, a former manor, was located opposite the St. Peter and St. Paul's Church in Antakalnis" I think this should come out if it isn't really part of the elderate.
try to desribe its situation regarding the other context if you can Iulius 21:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I just wondering maybe the part education should be merged to other one. Because it is now only few  sentences M.K. 00:26, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: it should be expanded significantly. somebody should take this one.Iulius 00:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, this section is the only one which dramatically lags behind and prevents of further article assessment.  M.K. 09:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

text: unfortunately it's too few of us to sit and wait for someone :D Iulius 07:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  nobody knows exactly that can happen here:P M.K. 11:08, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

text: For lack of info on education as separate article block I suggest to merge it with one of remaining blocks. About supermarket, hmm it is in commerce block; supermarket is associating with comm. and we do not have better pic. of this theme. M.K. 23:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

text:  Sorry to have disrespected your picture...hope your monitor is feeling better now. One last hope about the education section, maybe someone could call the schools and get number of students, dates of establishment? Novickas 02:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Hey, it's great to see education info! Also, I noticed the other day that some of those graves from Napoleon's ill-fated retreat were found here. Will put that in soon (unless someone else wants to). The University of Chicago did some interesting studies on the bones. Novickas 22:31, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: i would like to ask for a reference of the info concerning docudrama 9-11. Besides, when the article could be ready for a GA nomination? :) Iulius 09:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Oh, you gave me a great laugh! :) Right in the middle of the day! Well, it is what is, between the excavations and the old Soviet buidlings being demolished. Who know what else will turn up? (BTW I really don't care if the Mindaugas Bridge photo goes away). Novickas 17:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Just chat

message: i doubt the inclusion of the bridge photo it is out-of-place, besides, there are no Žirmūnai visible. Iulius 09:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought the Mindaugas Bridge links Žirmūnai with Antakalnis?  So one side of the photo would be  Žirmūna ? Novickas 12:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Was just looking at Old Louisville - an example of a neighborhood article that received Good Article status. Some things to think about:
* It has several introductory paragraphs
* It lists boundary streets
* Mentions politics i.e. voted for Kerry in 2004
* Demographic section mentions age cohorts
* Is in five categories
It certainly isn't lacking in interest. Novickas 15:10, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: on the other hand, Žirmūnai is not that inferior to this article contentwise Iulius 18:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I totally agree. Novickas 19:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: and it just became better ;) Iulius 20:08, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I just had in mind that editors should agree what must be improved next, before nominating to GA, nothing about coding :)  M.K. 22:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Well done. Nothing seems lacking too much indeed. It could be nominated Iulius 23:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes very nice job! I have a bit of suggestions :) Firstly, Ethnicity part badly needs references. As article itself is quite big, the lead of article is disproportional, it should be expanded as per WP:LEAD. I also tagged some parts of article with , I think in these places should be put proper refs. If you think it is unnecessary please remove them. Probably before nominating it peer review could be wise solution. M.K. 00:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

text: When using the exact source (usually web), you should not repeat all syntax of references, but you can do this trick  mokytis ir dar karta mokytis, you need just copy the beginning  of the first reference. (open edit tos see the trick :)). I believe some references still missing about Žirmūnai is also a place of Lithuania‘s largest stadium and the Palace  as well as and Impuls Plus, the largest fitness facility in the Baltic states. again this Public discussion of the disaster was forbidden and the number of casualties remains unknown; and this Tuskulėnai Manor is Žirmūnai's oldest extant architectural structure.

text: I agree with MK - let's just wait a day or two...Novickas 00:20, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well I too have now reached "satiation", as Juozas put it. Tried to address MK's concerns about some references by re-wording, but "oldest extant structure" remains a problem. I wonder if the remains of Napoleon's army have ever been mentioned in a DYK. Now, of course, we need a separate article for the Peace Park, and for Concertu Rumai, ir t.t. So in the original article, it mentioned that the Rumai is still used for less-formal events; or at least that was how I interpreted it, I hope that was correct. So which other peers should we consult, or does everyone want to submit it now? Novickas 14:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  You a bit misunderstand me, the words largest, oldest, biggest and so on, is not the problem; but usually such strong words should have ref., if anybody can provide proper ref. with biggest, oldest etc. it will do the trick. Sadly DYK opportunity is missed because only new articles (not older then 5d.) are listed in DYK, or article should be a stub which during these days dramatically undergone expansion. In other words this article is too old :(   M.K. 16:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Not necessary the exact 100% quotation, key word is the oldest. But maybe it would be no big problem and with out a ref. So what do you think, should we press for nomination, now? M.K. 22:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: its just about the time. further improvements will always be possible. Besides I do not like the infobox, it seems artificial and little informative... Iulius 11:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Nominating article should be stable - no major content edits M.K. 13:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Provided  infobox by me is just example, you can change it colors (they coded with letters for example: DABDAB), plus add more rows like population, density, urbanization etc., in this way you can build comprehensive infobox.M.K. 13:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
