When I made my edit, it was purely to correct the mistakes of the poor English in the article. Many Wikipedia articles written in English, that stem out of Eastern Europe, have grammatical errors (not just Eastern Europe). I try to correct them when I can. One of the most common mistakes is not using English language "articles" e.g., the, a. The Wikipedia article states the Lobnoye Mesto was not a place where executions normally took place. It states that Stenka Razin was executed there (quartered), hence this is an EXCEPTION, which is more accurate than calling it an INSTANCE. If you check with someone who has a "good" command of the English language, you will see that I am right. I hope that you will revert my original edit back to its correct form.

Your welcome, and I agree with your removal of the line (if Razin's execution did not take place there). Dr. Dan 16:59, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
