Doctorate

On Feb 20 I successfully defended my PhD dissertation on the Cultural and artistic aspects of the genisis and development of performance on the Kharkiv bandura at the Kharkiv Academy of Culture. Bandurist (talk) 08:50, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations Doctor Bandurist !! My father and uncle were musicians, my father played mandolin (I suppose because not many banduras were available in UK during the 60s and 70s) as well as trumpet guitar and others, and my uncle was director of the Kiev Conservatory and they would be proud that I can congratulate you on this achievement.

Possible dyk entry Hnat Khotkevych

Bandurist, Hnat Khotkevych is not new, but it may qualify for the dyk since it has been significantly expanded in the past five days. It has a nice catch line, something along the lines: ...that the poltava bandurist capella, of which Hnat Khotkevych was the director, was the first Soviet music group invited to North America? But it needs a reference. If you can add it, I can then suggest it in time. (ps. I tried to locate the ref. myself, but could find it; having two-three sources under references should be just right).--Riurik^(discuss) 04:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for creating this page, Ukrainians in the Kuban. I think a lot of things get tied to that such as holodomor.

Notability of Vicenty Khvoika

A tag has been placed on Vicenty Khvoika requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Theseeker4 (talk) 18:59, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am sorry the article was deleted before you completed translation. I however tagged its notability, but I did not delete it myself. I am not an admin, so I cannot delete or revert an article that has been deleted.Theseeker4 (talk) 15:58, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wish you were not so energetic and quick. All my work was lost. Bandurist (talk)

The article you created was just deleted?

All is not lost. Here is what you can do right now:

Many administrators will be happy to give you a copy of your deleted article, either by putting it on a special user page for you (a process called userfication) or by e-mailing you a copy.

List of administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles
Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles (empty) no pages or subcategories

Once you have the article, you can try to resolve the issues why it was deleted.

If you've repaired the article, or you believe the reasons for deleting the article were in error, you can dispute the deletion at Deletion Review. Generally, you must show how the previous deletion(s) were in error, but this is the place to resolve disputes about whether a deletion was wrong.

These days I immediately place a {{underconstruction}} template at the top of an article I just created, that is supposed to stop immediately deletions and should give one some time to work on the article in peace... — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 20:29, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photos

Thanks for taking those pictures and uploading them into the article.radek (talk) 04:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have some more. There is a bell dug into the ground which chimes every hour. All the plaques and the monument is made of steel, which rusts. It is all red, constantly red, looks like it is bleeding. The names are rusting way. The effect is eerie.

I thought it might be nice, because very few have made it to Kharkiv, and even fewer t the monument on it's outskirts.

The monument really deserves a separate write up. It is very tastefully done. At the same time off to the side is the former Holiday hotel for the former KGB/NKVD. --Bandurist (talk) 10:55, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you stub the article maybe and throw in some of the photos? I'll try to find some info on the monument. Thanks!radek (talk) 14:38, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pleasure. I can still read, but ... I actually conducted the Division choir for a few months here in Toronto and knew a lot of the guys. The choir no longer exists but some of the guys sing in my new choir. In Rimini they made a number of banduras from herring barrels. 23:28, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

My father used to play in the division band - he was trumpet/cornet/mandolin/accordian/bandura. He also ran the Homin Ukrainian choir in England for fifteen years or so and used to arrange music for them. I have pictures of him at Rimini although not from the Scottish camp he was in near Lockerbie- The church thats still there is one of the huts from 1947 !

Hi Bandurist. Wikipedia:WikiProject Ukraine lists you as being involved in Ukrainian musical instruments, and I'd like to pass this information onto someone with knowledge in that area.

Recently user 93.72.184.58 has been adding multiple links to one website that contains pictures and (apparently) samples of Ukrainian traditional instruments. History.

I can't make up my mind if this site is legit, in which case I guess 93.72.184.58 should be encouraged, or the opposite. Can you have a look please?

Kievan Rus to Rus

Hi

You have changed almost all the Kievan Rus to Rus. Was there in fact consensus to do that?

Chaosdruid (talk) 21:49, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am a little concerned that there are some sweeping changes being made to the Kievan Rus' and Ukraine articles. We have an editor trying to say that the Norse peoples started the Kievan Rus' and they have removed any involvement of the East Slavs having started it.

There has not been any real discussion on both these matters. I am trying to get things back to a state where everyone can discuss before these massive changes get out of hand. Chaosdruid (talk) 22:42, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Leontovych's opera Na Ruslachyn Velykden

Якщо ви про цю оперу знаєте, мені дуже цікаво який рівень редакторського втручання в рукопис "На Русалчин Великдень"? Умовно кажучи, це лише окрестрування і виправлення помилок, чи й місцями цілковито нова гармонізація, перестановка компонентів або й уведення зовсім нового музичного матеріалу?--Boguslav M 01:16, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

У мене є редакція Вериківського де була тільки редакція того що збереглося, тобто з 3 частин, Леонтович закінчив лише першу. Ясна ріж що опера не була завершена. М. Скорик взяв ці частини, доадав дещо, переважно з інших творів Леонтовича, поміняв тексти, написав овертюру і з цих частин створив одноактовну оперу, але така яка має смисл. У мене є клавір який вийшов у вид. Муз Укр.і вдалося мені бути і на прем'єрі в Києві. Втручання сильне, але все одно це музика Леонтовича.

Hi Bandurist,

In November you received a message about either "Nomination for deletion" or "Proposed deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions:

Was the message helpful? Were the instructions clear and easy to follow?
If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?

You can feel free to answer on my talk page or send me your response by email (mpinchukwikimedia.org).

Там дуже багато редагувань були останнім часом і я хотів подивитися на скільки стаття помінялася від редагування яке я останнє зробив, а іншим шляхом не міг це зробити. Подивився і змінив на те що було. Bandurist (talk) 00:39, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You could have justed looked at the diff --Львівське (говорити) 00:41, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your right , but my computer didn't ant to do it for some reason.

Indef-block

Despite multiple reminders and several blocks, you have continued to systematically ignore your topic-ban that was imposed here [7], most recently with edits to John Demjanjuk ([8], [9]), as well as to Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia [10], to Bereza Kartuska prison [11] and to History of the Russian language in Ukraine [12].

I don't know what else to do with you, other than blocking you indefinitely this time. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:49, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know what to say. For what ever its worth, I'm apoogise. Sometimes after reading something, you get really into something and you forget. Message however, sank in.Bandurist (talk) 11:12, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

A lot of time has passed. Cold I please be unblocked?

Запорозький марш

Вітаю! Ви щойно внесли правку у статтю uk:Запорозький марш. Але не зовсім зрозуміле речення: Марш використовує риф (?) який скомпонував бандурист [Хоткевич Гнат|Гнат Хоткевич] яљий вперше прозвучав в 1931 р. у творі "Поема про Байду" та народну пісню "Ой, на горі та женці жнуть". І чи є посилання на таке твердження?

Був би вельми вдячний, якби Ви допомогли перекласти цю статтю англійською. З повагою--Qypchak (talk) 13:48, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

НА жаль мене вічно заблокували бо написав що Вирок Демянюкові був не дійсний в Німєчині бо ін помер перед апеляцією. Так справи.

A barnstar for you!

	The Special Barnstar
	Thank you for the huge work you did, I'm astounded. On French Wikipedia, there is so to say nothing about Ukrainian culture or history. If I have time, I'll try to translate some of your articles into French. Молодець, героям слава! Syrdon (talk) 13:48, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Unfortunately they have placed an indefinite block on me which has not expired. It/s now a couple of years. Such is life. I spend most of my time on the Ukrainian wiki, and finishing off my post doctorate dissertation. All the best. 02:53, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
