URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Hidden Gems

The Portal:Russia/Hidden Gems is to list recently unearthed articles that cover Russia-related topics which have been (a) neglected for quite some time and (b) require serious intervention of Russian editors. It is an extension of this page, according to the Russian proverb: "New" is something forgotten for good. As a rule of thumb, don't add articles edited by active members of project Russia.

I've translated it now. --Brand спойт 21:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
May be 1945 German instrument of surrender? --Brand спойт 17:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
I think that Tsentralny Administrative Okrug will be unintelligible for English-speaking people and in further indexation in Misplaced Pages. Meanwhile e.g. Google and Metacrawler are more relevant to Central Administrative District rather than Tsentralny Administrative Okrug. The last has only few hits. Generally I think only those terms that have not English real or literal equivalent, being too specific, should be transliterated literally (e.g. Latin pallium). In order to distinguish administrative okrug from district the first may be called administrative district while the second - simply district. The appropriate redirect to Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow could be made. The article may be moved to Moscow Central Administrative District for example. --Brand спойт 11:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
I am really not that much interested in all things Moscow-related, but as someone who edited his share of articles on Russian administrative divisions I just want to provide you a friendly warning—the way of your approach disaster lies :) Terminology must be as unambiguous as possible, and using the term "okrug" (which, incidentally, is included in English dictionaries) is a reasonable compromise which helps avoid using the scheme in which districts are divided into districts which, in turn, are divided into... districts. Not only is it confusing and looks unprofessional, it also mars the bigger picture. It is a mistake to always use the most common terms here (although, of course, a reasonable attempt should be made), because those terms are good when discussing a stand-alone topic, but not really when the whole administrative hierarchy is a subject. Please, reconsider. "Central" vs. "Tsentralny" is debatable and adjustable, but if you are going to use inconsistent terminology (i.e., "district" instead of "okrug"), it will break quite a few things without adding much value. Also, can we move this discussion to somewhere more relevant, please? Thanks.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 12:17, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Currently may be merged to Eastern Front (World War II)#Operations and/or Economy of the Soviet Union#Economic development. --Brand спойт 13:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
