This Saturday, the aggressor country Russia launched a strike on the cities of Ukraine, firing 38 missiles. In particular, they hit a nine-story building in Dnipro with 16 entrances, where about 1,700 people lived. So far, 12 dead and 64 injured are known.
There are civilian casualties in other cities of Ukraine as well.
There was one rocket explosion in Vinnytsia and one not far from Vinnytsia. Air defense was also heard. Emergency blackouts also become longer.

Recent deletion requests

Hi George. I notice that you recently closed a couple of deletion discussions that I started and though they were closed as "deleted" a couple of the nominated files were not actually deleted. Can you please have a second look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:My way of religion.png and Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Mekukabin? Thank you. Marbletan (talk) 12:39, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

 Done. Thank you for notification. --George Chernilevsky ^talk 21:31, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Galka Alexey Titovich (Q109337806)

Hello George, hope all is (relatively) well? Coming across these images, I ended up with this gentlemen. Probably a family business? Since my knowledge of the Ukranian language is next to nill, I would be very much obliged if you could ad the correct name in English. thank you so much for your time. Warmest regards Lotje (talk) 06:15, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello Lotje,

 Done. Wikidata updated --George Chernilevsky ^talk 22:27, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

File:Writer ukranian.jpg

Hello Geoge, this file should be renamed because of #2. If you have a spare minute, could you add it to Q65209469. Thank you so much. Lotje (talk) 17:35, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Question about Yevheniia Yurchenko (Q113643689)

Hello George, hope you are (relatively) okay? Could you take a look at the recent edit I made on wikidata? This and this image are in the Category:Private collections and that is not what the category is meant for. If one of them would be suitable to add to the article/Wikidata, I could do so and recategorizie under Category:Female writers from Ukraine. Thank you for your time George. Lotje (talk) 12:54, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, wikidata is OK. Images are heavy and bad photoshopped, fake background --George Chernilevsky ^talk 18:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Question

Hello George, in these terrible times, would you take a look at the files from this user? Are they out of scope? If not, is a remane needed and could they be added them to the Category:Lawyers from Ukraine? Thank you so much for your time. Lotje (talk) 09:01, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello,  Done. Created DR --George Chernilevsky ^talk 18:30, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello George, so glad you've been able to react. Keep safe. Lotje (talk) 16:08, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

File remaning requests

Hello George, at Category:Media requiring renaming we have right now many file renaming requests for photos from the Ukraine. It would be best if these requests would be checked and handled by someone who speaks Ukrainian and knows the Ukraine well. Do you know somebody with filemover rights who could handle these requests? (I am a filemover but don’t speak Ukrainian, it’s a pity.) Just asking. All the best, --Aristeas (talk) 09:48, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for this notification --George Chernilevsky ^talk 08:28, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

File:Дендропарк "Олександрія" - невідомий памятник.JPG

Hello George, hope under the circumstances you are douging relatively well. Looking at this image, which makes me sad somehow, I wonder what the meaning/name of this beautiful sculpture is. Thank you so murch for your time. Cheers Lotje (talk) 08:33, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello,

this sculpture is called "Unknown Monument". The main character of the sculpture simply left, leaving behind a cape and a cocked hat in the Napoleonic style. Everything else is up to the viewer's imagination.

--George Chernilevsky ^talk 18:50, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you George. I will ad the Napoleonic style hat to the related category. Cheers Lotje (talk) 09:06, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
