RE: Air International request
G'day from Oz; I don't have the copy of Air International, but I saw a book by those two authors - titled Russian Airlines and Their Aircraft or something similar - in a bookshop this afternoon. YSSYguy (talk) 10:49, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, the book is called Aeroflot: An Airline and its Aircraft by R.E.G. Davies. I have that book, and there are other books in the series, Pan Am, Lufthansa, etc, and a good search may show where they can be downloaded ;) --Russavia 10:53, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
No, this book was by Gordon and Komissarov. The bookshop is only five or six blocks from where I live, I can go back and get the exact details if you want them. YSSYguy (talk) 11:59, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, ok, I know the one you mean. This one? --Russavia 12:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
That's the one; see ya! YSSYguy (talk) 12:15, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
1993 Russian constitutional crisis
Hi again, could you please take a look? The article despite its FA status gained (in 2005, I think) has many problems and there are unresolved issues on talk page. --Miacek and his crime-fighting dog(woof!) 15:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
- OK, I will take a look and will provide my input. --Russavia 02:44, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I've blocked you for 8h for edit warring there, per the talk page William M. Connolley (talk) 10:46, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oops, mistake. You are now unblocked, but probably auto blocked. I'll see about that William M. Connolley (talk) 10:48, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Stubs
I realize I may be working my way through to another trout treatment, but what do you think about changing all federal subject-specific stub types from geo-stub to just stub (e.g., {{PrimorskyKrai-geo-stub}} would become {{PrimorskyKrai-stub}}? That would allow to include the region-specific stubs on topics other than geography (like flags, politicians, historical events, etc.) and, since you already have experience re-tagging stubs, the switch should take you no time at all (*ducking*). What do you think?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:09, February 16, 2009 (UTC)
- Apart from the massive slapping with a Russian sturgeon, I don't think that's such a good idea, as I think we still have to have geo stubs? Although, another stub such {{PrimorskyKrai-stub}}, as you suggested, for other PK articles might be a good idea? How best to do it I guess? --Russavia 09:23, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Why do we have to have geo stubs? I mean, they are working fine now, but that's only because so many of them were mass-produced in the past that everything else pretty much blends into the background. Still, you might be right about this in the long run—once other topics start getting developed, we may at some point find ourselves in a situation when xx-stubs would have to be split again into xx-geo-stubs and xx-whatever-else-stubs. Perhaps, for now, it would be best to upmerge all xx-geo-stubs into corresponding xx-stubs (to be able to tag region-specific articles on other topics properly) and then re-split them as time goes by and stub cats grow?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:57, February 17, 2009 (UTC)
- OK, so we get rid of all geo stubs and simply stub/sort them by federal subject? If you think that is best, then let's do it? No guesses for who will be doing the tagging though? :) --Russavia 16:27, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- If by "get rid" you mean "upmerge", then yes, I think that's probably the best way for now. As for the actual tagging, I wish I could help, but I don't want to.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:43, February 17, 2009 (UTC)
- Say, we could always be evil. If I was to nominate, say, User:Alex Bakharev to do this, would you second my nomination? --Russavia 17:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- He would be my second choice, but yeah, sure. Now, all we need is an enforcement mechanism of some kind, and then we'd be able to distribute jobs left and right.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:54, February 17, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, he's only your second choice? Who was your first if I may be so bold to ask? Enforcement mechanism? Hmmm....well you're Russian, I'm a Russophile, I am sure that if we put our heads together we could come up with some mechanism of enforcement. Unfortunately, being a Russophile, I can't recall anything in Russia's history where there were such mechanisms. Perhaps a phone call to Putin may give us some ideas? --Russavia 18:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm, first choice... who might that have been?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:17, February 17, 2009 (UTC)
- Well, there you go. Your first choice is why you are an admin, and why am I an editor; admins don't have to use their noggins. Alex is my first choice, as he has this wondrous bot, which I am sure he would be able to program, or come up with another automated way, to do all the stubbing for us automatically. About which, I discussed with him some time ago when the idea of adding to the WPRUSSIA template was briefly discussed, and he said that he would be able to automate the process of adding that template to talk pages, etc. So perhaps we could give him something to do to keep him occupied; lord knows I've got enough already to do, what with User:Russavia/Airlines, List of Heroes of the Russian Federation (arrghhh cite templates), and about 3 million other things I've started which I need to get finished sooner or later.

Превед
Answering your question. I know of the following sources: www.lib.ru and www.lib.aldebaran.ru. If these are not exactly what you are looking for, please let me know. Btw, it should be File:XV Парижская авиаЦионная выставка.djvu (not авиаУионная) :). Thanx for uploading such interesting books and happy editing, my friend! KNewman (talk) 06:17, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hey Kirill, thanks for the links, I'll check them out, and no prob with the books, I'll be uploading more and more as I come across them. I need to create a category in commons now to keep them all in one central location also. Cheers --Russavia 18:27, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
