I have added your picture Image:Yuri_Rio_de_Janeiro_20040119_054.jpg to Copacabana what do you think to remove it from Rio_de_Janeiro page since we have already a couple of pictures there. And you don't specify the license by the way. Cheers, Chmouel Boudjnah 09:33, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Lagoa is the C-shaped lake, the Corcovado peak is in the mountain range just north of it, the picture was taken looking south to Ipanema and the Cagarras Islands beyond. This larger map shows the islands:

A curiosity: the taller island in the background is almost twice the distance of the others, something not obvious in the picture.
what is the license that you uploaded your photo under. We are interested in using over in a project at wikibooks, but as the final copy will be printed, we want to only use gfdl photos. If you could release it under a dual gfdl, cc-by-sa that would be great. The bellman 23:00, 2004 Nov 10 (UTC)
Polite Inquiry: Why did you delete the reference in the city of Taraz article that it was sometimes known as Talas (after the river)? I know that there is a town, a tenth the size of Taraz that is currently called Talas, but in earlier writings in English (and Latin ?) Taraz is refered to as Talas. Should there be a disambiguation page? That seems a little extreme to me. What are your thoughts? Bejnar 04:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
The reason why I made this correction is because this is the English-language Wikipedia, and, when speaking of that region in English, it is customary to specify that it is Russian Far East, as opposed to the Far East in general. In Russian, of course, that distinction is made differently (and that fact should be mentioned in the article), but we must use the name that's most familiar to Anglophones (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English)). Hope this explains my corrections. Please let me know if you have further questions.— Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 17:15, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
If you are interested in Russia-related themes, you may want to check out the Russian Portal, particularly the Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. You may even want to add these boards to your watchlist. -- Irpen 18:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Sputnik (wiki) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. •
