Russian Embassy Kabul Request[edit]

Russian Embassy Chancery, Darul Aman Road, Kabul

Re: Russian offices in France[edit]

Hi Russavia,

I probably can do something about the buildings in Paris, but I'm afraid it's going to be hard to get the ones in Strasbourg and Marseille. I also hope they won't confuse me with a terrorist (this already happened to me, and they must be very careful with official buildings such as ambassies). I'll let you know. Benh (talk) 13:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi, I've tried to take a shot of the embassy of Russia... but they didn't let me do it. A policemen came and asked me to stop. Another wrote my name down for record. I'm not surprised actually. I'll have to write them and ask an authorization. Hope this won't get me into troubles ! Benh (talk) 10:17, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • By the way, I won't be able to take the embassy, as there's not freedom of panorama in France. I didn't know the building was that recent. I'll try to take Trade Representative Office of Russia in Paris, 49, rue de la Faisanderie, 75116 Paris which is old enough I think. Benh (talk) 10:20, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Scott. I've restored the above images per {{Kremlin.ru}} OTRS permission. Other's were already uploaded under different names. Good job! --Kimsə (talk) 08:10, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rather a lot of pictures of Mr. Putin[edit]

Hi Russavia, could you please explain to me why we would need such a large number of picture of Mr. Putin? Regards, MartinD (talk) 18:54, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a long time leader of one of the most important nations on earth, there is much encyclopaedic and/or educational use for the photos which I am uploading. Compare Category:George W. Bush for example. I am going thru the Kremlin website and uploading a heap of photos and other things to Commons, which may be used across ALL projects; wikisource, wikiuniversity, wikibooks, wikinews, etc, etc. We have this resource available to us and we may as well take full advantage of having it. The only thing needed is categorising which I will be doing in batches as I go to make it a quicker more streamlined process for myself. --russavia (talk) 19:28, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, if that's what you mean, I get your point. But several hundred photo's? I realise I could say the same thing about all those photo's from the US military, to be sure. Regards, MartinD (talk) 13:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To be sure, you can be assured that I have not uploaded a lot of photos because after looking at them their purpose for any of the various wiki projects would be next to none. Don't forget however, that many of the photos of Putin with other people (usually notable people) can also be used to create crop versions for WP articles on the other person. Additionally, many of the photos are related to notable events, such as CIS summits, G8 summits, etc; or workings of the Russian government and its structures; or other events in Russia, such as this photo, which looking at it is just another portrait, but it is a photo of him during an interview with a Russian news program on the Kursk submarine, so it would be suitable for WP articles on that subject, for example. I have also noticed that some editors across the various language WP may be following my uploads, as no sooner am I uploading some photos, and they are being introduced into articles, Image:Viktor Chernomyrdin-1.jpg for example. Cheers. --russavia (talk) 14:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, you actually have other people use your uploads in their articles? That hasn't happened to my pix very often. But it feels good!;) Regards, MartinD (talk) 19:50, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]


If you are uploading many iages of the same authorship, you may want to create the corresponding category, say, category:Russian Presidential Press and Information Office. SemBubenny (talk) 17:18, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are all located by default in Category:Kremlin.ru --russavia (talk) 18:25, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

Hello Russavia!

I have seen that you are constant uploader of kremlin.ru-images for Wikimedia Commons. Thanks for that! One question: Do you you know where free images of the russian missile systems S-300 and S-400 can be found? Both categories have not enough or respectively none images. Can you help in that case? Thank you and greetings! --High Contrast (talk) 16:17, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi High Contrast, I'll see what I can find on kremlin.ru - I have also sent faxes to the Ministry of Defence asking for their permission too, but its a little too soon to know one way or another whether they will reply or not, but I will ask around with various other contacts and see if they might have such photos for use too. Cheers --russavia (talk) 11:27, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your engagement. Would be great if the russian Ministry of Defence gives a positive signal! Greetings, High Contrast (talk) 14:57, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Can you ask the permission (like for kremlin.ru images) for the images from http://www.government.ru/ in order to upload them here?--Александр Мотин (talk) 19:15, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neva[edit]

Hi Russavia, I noted that the location of File:Russian Sloop-of-War Neva.jpg looks unlike Port Jackson, upon investgating I found this which reveals that it shows the "Harbour of St.Paul in the Island of Cadiack" (Kodiak, Alaska). Melburnian (talk) 05:25, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, I've uploaded their colour version in it's place, and amended the description etc. Cheers --russavia (talk) 06:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of Russian school in Budapest, Hungary[edit]

Hello Russavia,

I took a photo of this building, however not the front side, but the back side. It was because of the Sun, shining from back and there were people in the front, of whom I did not intend to include in the picture. So I ask if this picture would be good for your purpose? I did not upload it yet, first I ask you. (One of my editor-fellow in Hungarian Wikipedia tried to do a front-side picture, but they did not allow him to take photos, so he try to get a permission from the embassy...)

Tip: Categorizing images[edit]

Hello, Russavia!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Kremlin photos[edit]

Hello, thanks for letting me know about the new developments. Unfortunately, I've been brutally busy lately; I can hardly edit more than 15 minutes a day. Which is why I still haven't got to creating the Abkhazia locator map, sorry. I did glance at the reasoning behind your topic ban - it looks stunningly moronic. If you're going to appeal that - good luck! Óðinn (talk) 16:54, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You Russian consulate pic of Dhaka, Bangladesh[edit]

Hey Russavia, I've uploaded your desired photo (maybe). This is here! But I don't think this photo can satisfy you. Because, This photo wasn't so descriptive. But I think, I can't do better than that. The security is so tight and they wasn't let me to take photo neither of inside or outside. But (thanks to the Lord) I have taken this! and the one of the security almost chased me away!

I'm sorry! You have prove that it's really the consulate of Russian Federation; You can see the Russian flag in upper left corner of the photo!--T@nv!r_ (Talk | Contribution) 18:08, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found this: File:Moscow, M Kozlovsky 4,2 01.jpg - en:Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Moscow. Not an embassy but operates as a division of the Italian embassy. Looks better than pipelines IMO. NVO (talk) 03:58, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Miltary aircraft of Eygpt[edit]

Hi Russavia, I,ve removed your request from Commons delinker to move the images from and redirect Category:Aircraft of the Egyptian Air Force to Category:Military aircraft of Egypt, though although all Egyptian Air Force aircraft are Military aircraft of Egypt, not all military aircraft of Eygpt are Air Force. Category:Aircraft of the Egyptian Air Force falls within the Category:Military aircraft by operator category. Where you will see that some countries have multiple operators of military aircraft, navy, army, marines etc. Even though we do not have aircraft of the Eygptian Navy, army etc its still worthwhile having this intersection to make searching for aircraft by operator possible.KTo288 (talk) 10:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, no problem at all. I saw that the request had been up for 2 months, and had received no objections, and the reasoning for the move of the category was quite sound. However, now that you have written what you have, I have no objections in the removing of the request, etc. Cheers for that, --russavia (talk) 12:18, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, thanks for your understanding.KTo288 (talk) 15:53, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
