- The part about по- in front is not necessarily true. The adverb по-русски does not necessarily mean in [the] Russian [language], although it can mean that; it can also mean in a Russian manner or in a Russian style. Almost any adjective, related to a nationality or not, can be turned into an adverb in Russian by using по- in front and dropping the final й or by putting the adjective in dative case (i.e., по-моему).
- A few more examples may be in order here. По-чешски can mean in [the] Czech [language] as in the sentence я немножко говорю по-чешски (which can also be said я говорю на чешском [языке]), or it can mean in a Czech style as in the sentence они это сделали по-чешски, which means they did that the Czech way. The adverb по-людски means as others do or in the acceptable way.
- So, with that background, we need to look at what we're trying to translate, and that is the phrase, "I support the Russian-language Wikipedia with my contributions." As with any translation, there are probably 8,000 different ways to render this in idiomatically correct Russian. There are, of course, just as many possibilities at an incorrect translation. The most literal approach would be я поддерживаю рускоязычную Википедию моими вкладами. The box's current translation, я сотрудничаю в русской Википедии isn't bad and would be reverse-rendered as "I contribute to the Russian Wikipedia," which accurately conveys what we're looking for and is idiomatically correct Russian. Returning to я сотрудничаю в Википедии по-русском leaves us with "I contribute to Wikipedia the Russian way," which isn't really what we're looking for, and the word по-русском is impossible in the Russian language (it's gramatically incorrect). Russian in our translation is an adjective (русский) and not an adverb (по-русски).
- If that doesn't make sense, post again on my talk page or e-mail, I'm happy to help.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Ussiowa.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Ussiowa.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 14:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Tricityvalleycats.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Tricityvalleycats.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Khatru2 04:01, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Images
Hello. I was going through your image uploads from a while back and fixed the licenses on some of them. I was wondering if you could provide source information for Image:Eric gagne.jpg, Image:ValeryBrumel.jpg, and Image:USS Charles H Roan.jpg and check to make sure that they are GFDL images. Thanks.

[edit] Age category
Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:
- Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
- Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.
If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
