  Not just from the Commons—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 19:02, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

  Somebody going to revert it? Elk Salmon 20:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

  Ezh you are an admin, if this nazi gets his way we are talking about losing some 1000+ images. Since when does he have the final word? Народ, это наплевательское отшения к нам нельзя позволять. --Kuban Cossack 20:34, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

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.

• Moscow Central administrative district by me. --Brand спойт 17:21, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

  Unless you want the collection of Moscow-related articles to become even more unmanageable than it is now, I would recommend moving this to Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow or to Tsentralny Administrative Okrug, Moscow (the latter is consistent with overall naming scheme of Russian federal subjects' administrative divisions). Normally, the term okrug is only translated for autonomous okrugs. Also, administrative okrugs of Moscow are subdivided into districts, not into municipal districts. The municipal districts are formed on the basis of districts (from the categorization point of view, they are a superentity of sorts), and presently match exactly. Also, please review the Moscow districts' naming conventions—the way the districts articles are currently organized (organized? ha!) is pretty darn horrible.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • (yo?); 19:35, 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)

• Alexander Herzen was expanded by a newbie guilty of crass copyvios. Please check. --Ghirla 16:25, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• Evacuation of Soviet industry to Ural substub by User:Smadge should we merge it somewhere? abakharev 08:04, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

  Please post this bunch of nonsense for deletion. --Ghirla 08:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

  I think all of these articles should be merged into the article of the village that it's part of (this is assuming that such a place exists, and that there's some real information in there). If it's all a joke, then yes, delete it. Esn 10:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

  Nonsense it is not, but it is definitely not encyclopedia-worthy. The article on Alyokhnovo is the only one that should be retained. "Московский писатель" (not "пясатель"!) is actually a horticulture club (садоводство) in the village , and the folks listed as "prime-ministers" (I really got a kick out of that one) were most likely heading the club at one time or another.

  There are definitely tons of other names that could use a template such as this one. I just didn't want to create a bunch of templates before hearing others' opinions.

• I have created Category:Russian programmers please populate abakharev 00:16, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Before you start populating it, I would suggest to rename it into category:Russian computer scientists and engineers or something like this. "programmer" with respect to, e.g., Sergei Alekseyevich Lebedev is way too low. `'mikka (t) 05:59, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Well if it is not to low for Bill Gates to be in Category:American computer programmers, what is wrong with Lebedev? There is Category:Programmers by nationality bu not Category:Computer scientists and engineers by nationality abakharev 07:32, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
      • On the second thought there is such thing as Category:Computer scientists by nationality so maybe Category:Russian computer scientists and engineers make sense. Maybe we could shorten it to Category:Russian computer scientists? It is pain in the censored place to type such a long catname abakharev 07:39, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

• It looks like articles on Russian cities/towns have recently been targeted as a part of a school project or something like that. Articles on Arti, Irbit, Magnitogorsk, Nizhny Tagil, Ozyorsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Polevskoy, Shadrinsk, Yugorsk, and Zlatoust (I may have missed some) have recently been edited by new users with similarly-constructed user names and same IP range. The edit pattern is very similar—they all have only very basic knowledge of wiki-markup and style conventions, they all
