URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Pd-Soviet tag

Oops, I somehow missed this. Well done KK! -- Grafikm 20:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
If he continues, I will start spreading the word to ru-wiki. People we need to work together to crush this parasite. Spread the word to all ex-USSR wikipedias and portals. He upset a mountain, now he'll get an avalanche. --Kuban Cossack 20:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
BTw, don't we need reverting MediaWiki:Licenses too??? -- Grafikm 20:50, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
That was a clear abuse of admin power - WP:RFC/ADMIN I see no alternative. Someone draft it. --Kuban Cossack 20:57, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Support. Anyone else thinks so (I hope :)? -- Grafikm 21:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted the commons template itself, absoloutely everybody there is finding the suggesting ludicrous. --Kuban Cossack 23:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Потому что этот Лупо ***** и *****... (ну всем понятно в общем, да? :) -- Grafikm 23:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Everyone please have a look here and support us in our defence against this silly copyright nonsense. -- Grafikm 23:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep an eye out for vandalism to these two templates, top is commons, bottom is enwiki. Revert immediately--Kuban Cossack 23:55, 12 May 2006 (UTC) Template:PD-SovietTemplate:PD-USSR.

Guys, I would stongly suggest that you stop personalizing this. Calling other editors nasty words such as "nazi" or "parasite" is a flagrant violation of WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL. Lupo 08:22, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

And twice neglect of our existance is NOT and a violation? And abuse of admin privliges? --Kuban Cossack 12:09, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

In the meantime, can an admin revert this, please? -- Grafikm 12:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I have started it Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Lupo. --Kuban Cossack 12:23, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Statement part complete. Any user that still want the Easter Europe part of Misplaced Pages to live is wellcome to comment!!! -- Grafikm 13:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
я вообщем новенький во всех этих делах внутренних. подскажите что там надо сделать? просто подписаться где остальные подписались? Elk Salmon 15:17, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Ага. -- Grafikm 15:29, 13 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.

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)
