I removed the merge notices from both the Far Eastern Federal District and Russian Far East articles (it was actully me who split them in two in the first place some time ago). Why it is true that both terms apply to the same territory, the first, however, is a unit of administrative division, and the second a historio-geographic term. Russian Far East will always stay the same, while the Federal District can be changed any day or abolished all together. The difference here is approximately the same as between the Kamchatka Peninsula and Kamchatka Oblast.
Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks.— Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 13:25, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
sorry, I hadn't seen this. I merged the articles anyway, fully realizing that the terms are not synonymous. It is not required that a term is synonymous for it to be a redirect, compare South Asia and Indian Subcontinent, and it is better to explain the subtle differences in a single article than to have two stubs covering essentially the same region. Still, I should have discussed first, had I seen that this had come up before, and I guess you are free to revert me. Baad 18:26, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Ok -- I note that according to Siberia, all of the RFE is "historically" considered part of Siberia. Now, if today, only Sakha is considered part of Siberia for some reason, this begs the question: Is there a term to refer to (FEFD minus Sakha), i.e. the 'non-Siberian' part of Asian Russia? Is, maybe, the term RFE sometimes (informally?) used to the exclusion of Sakha? That would make sense, since then "Russia = Europen parts + Siberia + RFA". I'm trying to come up with population figures for Demographics of Siberia, and for the moment I just give totals including and excludung the non-Sakha RFE. I am looking for percentages of ethnicities etc. for Siberia, but they do not seem to be available, and I'll have to sum them up from Oblast level. Baad 15:22, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
