(Also answering your later remark) I do not remember the volgota link in English, but it definitely was in the Dutch and Ukrainian version. By the way, since then, both languages have white-listed volgota (and therefore, wikislavia). In the Dutch wikipedia, Jan van Steenbergen was one of two people asking for the whitelisting () Why would they want a link to the main volgota page, which only lists "news" articles extending to June 2006?

| == Proposal for overhaul and creation of a single WP:RUSSIA project == | |||
| Going thru tonnes of ''Russian'' articles, I was actually very surprised to find 3 articles that one would probably expect to be featured articles are not; those being ], ] and ]. I was also surprised to find that many articles I expected to exist do not; prime example being many of the Federal government ministries. Then there are other problems such as: | |||
| * Naming conventions - very little continuity and no real guidelines for Russian names and articles in wikipedia as a whole - an example is ]. | |||
| * Categorisation - naming conventions will help somewhat - following other ] will help too - an example of poor categorisation throughout Russian articles - ] | |||
| * Article assessment - there are no guidelines for this, and it has resulted in some unusual ]. Guidelines are needed. | |||
| * Article review - there are no guidelines specific to Russian articles and with more than one project, other projects won't necessarily know of review requests. Additionally, because of the number of projects with very little scope in each, wider community views can be missed. For example, ] was a featured article until 23 August 2007. It's ], unfortunately it went unannounced on all Russian projects, apart from ] | |||
| * Collaboration - there is none to very little collaboration on Russian content between the various projects and unfortunately article quality, and perhaps stability, will suffer for it. | |||
| * Recruitment/outreach - As we are members of various Russian projects, we took the time to add our name to a list, because we have an interest in a certain (or all) aspect/s of Russia. New members are needed, but how will they find the projects? There needs to be co-ordination to 'recruit' new members; particularly from ru:wiki. | |||
| * Scope - just what is the scope for the various projects? ] has a very narrow yet defined scope; ] has a hazy 'historical' scope; a question being raised ]. | |||
| What I am suggesting is the following projects be merged into ] and for it to be co-ordinated much like any other all-encompassing project. The projects I am suggest to be merged are: | |||
| *] - main project | |||
| *] | |||
| *] | |||
| *] | |||
| Other projects which can be used as guides on how to structure the project could be: | |||
| *] | |||
| *] - a featured portal | |||
| By merging all projects into a single project, we can then create "work groups" for specific Russian topics, such as: | |||
| *History | |||
| *Politics | |||
| *Places (geography) | |||
| *Culture (language, music, literature, film, etc) | |||
| *Biographical | |||
| *Society | |||
| *Transport | |||
| *Economy | |||
| *etc | |||
| Perhaps others have other ideas. | |||
| Of course there needs to be concensus from all projects for a merge and structures be discussed, etc, but firstly, there needs to be discussion on the pros and cons of such an idea. I have posted this on the other project talk pages, and have asked that all discussion take place ] so that all projects can read off the same page. --] <sup>] ]</sup> 07:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
