As of Saturday, 18 November 2006, the Wikipedia in Russian contained about 117,000 articles. Of these, 117 articles (approximately 1 in 957) are considered избранные (selected, the Russian Wikipedia equivalent of featured articles). The latest three additions to the list of featured articles are: X Window System ( X Window System), Cate Blanchett ( Кейт Бланшетт) and MTV-82 ( МТВ-82). The community also have a project on selection of good articles хорошие, of which the latest are Ayrton Senna ( Айртон Сенна да Силва), Aeroflot Russian Airlines ( Аэрофлот) and Compaq Computer Corporation ( Compaq).
The Russian Wikipedia borrows featured pictures from Wikimedia Commons having no initiative on selecting featured images in-house, despite the 29,000+ files already uploaded.
As of 18 November 2006, 43 users of the Russian Wikipedia are administrators. This makes 0.13% of users out of a total number of 32,625 registered users.
In September 2006 bureaucrat Drbug speedily closed Obersachse's request for bureaucratship stating that he is not ready to promote without a formal RfB policy. After two concurrent proposals were heavily criticized, community carried the approval poll about details of RfA and RfB process. As a result, vote was extended from one week to two, and section for neutral vote has been removed (all neutral opinions should go to the general discussion section and will be taken into account only if consensus is unclear). Also, all elector should have at least 100 edits and 3 months of editing experience.
Recently on Russian Wikipedia a new project was started - ru:Википедия:Проект:Народный контроль. It was planned as some kind of Public Prosecutions. Members of the project will supervise on administrators, bureaucrats and checkusers; will collect complaints on their wrong activities and may collectively bring an action in Arbitration Committee. -- Vlad Jaroslavleff 18:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Some interesting story or development in the Russian Wikipedia. Something to brag about or impress the conceited English Wikipedia ;-)
Quality improvement drive ? A writing contest ? Something like this
Any prizes for the Ru Wikipedia or Wikipedians
Media (press, TV, Radio, websites) coverage of Ru Wikipedia, growth etc.
Something about this ?
Apart from the Wikipedia, there are several Wikimedia projects in Russian language.
PLEASE EDIT BELOW AS NEEDED
