Why are these entirely different statues, in different countries, are included in one article? :24.185.133.119
because, Mother Motherland (Russian: Родина-мать, Rodina-mat’) is the name of several huge statues in various cities of the former Soviet Union. :69.228.206.35
Any oppinions about renaming it "The motherland"? "Mother motherland" sounds (to me at least) like a joke, and I don't think it's appropriate to joke: it is the name of a statue to fallen solders, not to a buffon. Anyway, just a suggestion.

In response to "wikipedia is not a dictionary". So, Mother Motherland is not a bad taste joke? : Dc76 18:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Now that we've done with this silly bickering, let me explain what had happened with this page. Somewhere in the beginning this page was started as a disambiguation page for the expression " The Motherland". Somewhat later I split it into the page Motherland (disambiguation) and Mother Motherland Please notice that the exact names for the three of the four statues are not "Rodina Mat' ". In the overall process of editing the word {{ disambig}} disappeared from the page, I lost attention to the topic, and now it is a mess. Now it must be turned back into the disambig page and make separate articles. `' Mїkka 15:10, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
This dab page loses its power without images. Would anyone object if I at least included a gallery of the Rodina Mat' statues? They are all monumental. They are completely part of their homelands, and have no parallel in, say, the US, where there wasn't even the concept of Homeland until 9/11. -- Ancheta Wis 03:40, 24 August 2007 (UTC) To avoid the naming controversies, I propose to label the images "Rodina-mat’ Russian: Родина-мать" + their cities. -- Ancheta Wis 03:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I object. Those images are unhelpful to the reader trying to find his intended article. Additionally, this page should also be edited to conform to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Ewlyahoocom 06:01, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes I know that official translation for Родина is Motherland, but wouldn’t it be more correct to translate it to homeland or at least use it as german Heimat, since the closest to truth translation is ancestral land. DVoit 17:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
What I meant here was Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Set index articles... -- JHunterJ 11:53, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
I have moved this page to List of Mother Motherland statues. I believe this page should develop along the lines of List of statues of Lenin, where most of the statues by tehemselves are probably not notable but together on one page they make for a decent article.

My point, Mikkalai, was that you reverted my cleanup of this page as a disambiguation, so I conceded that it may be better viewed as a set index article instead. If you insist that it's a dab, then it needs to be written like a dab. -- JHunterJ 00:30, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
