As for the rain-praying governors, you'd think it would be funny, but it isn't here. Iowa holds caucuses today, by the way, and if Perry wins (which, fortunately, doesn't seem very likely), the world will get a chance to see a "shaman" nominated for President of the United States. And if he wins the elections, that is when all the fun will start :)— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); January 3, 2012; 16:49 (UTC)
Hi, I was directed by user Buckshot06 regarding a request of mine on my talk page. Unfornately, I don't speak Russian; so I'd like to know if you can translate the sentence "В период с 1987 по 1998 год «Тула» выполнила 7 боевых служб, в том числе 5 в высокоширотных районах Арктики, 17 боевых дежурств, 12 ракетных стрельб из подводного положения. Пройдено 134856 ходовых миль, из них 77245 в подводном положении." at ru:Тула (подводная лодка), and compare that with "During 1987–1988, the boat conducted seven patrols, including five in the Arctic, 17 combat duties, and firing of twelve missiles." from Russian submarine K-114? I suspect the sentence from the English website [1] (which I used as a source for my article) was hastily translate from the Russian Wikipedia article.

“ | During 1987–1998, Tula conducted 7 combat duty operations, including 5 in the high-latitude regions of the Arctics, as well as 17 combat alert missions and 12 underwater missile-firing exercises. 134856 miles were traversed, 77245 of which were in a submerged state. | ” |

I have no clue what the problem is. Your source says 52.9% of the population is Tatar (whom are 99.99% Muslim). The source took this number from the 2002 census. The NEW 2010 census says 53.2% are Tatar (again, 99.99% Muslim). Your link only says the 52.9% are PREDOMINANTLY Muslim. It does not give the actual number who literally profess to Islam. This is a double standard on your part. 68.149.133.218 ( talk) 20:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello again! I suppose you are quite busy, as always, but may I suggest you one task to do.
You know, there is a long list of rural localities at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Russia/Human_geography_of_Russia_task_force#Rural_localities under the subsection "Attention needed", and a small list of urban-type settlements Wikipedia:WikiProject_Russia/Human_geography_of_Russia_task_force#Urban-type_settlements also at the subsection "Attention needed". In 99% of cases with the listed articles "attention needed" means that those articles are orphaned or totally unreferenced.
I suppose also that those articles mostly have no chance for a decent expansion, unless some interested locals come and work on them. So the best decision would be to de-orphan those articles in a simple way (linking them from the district articles or so) and provide one or two references for them (or perhaps even delete some simultaneously orphaned and unreferenced) and then remove them from the task force list, which should concentrate on more important tasks. Would you like to do this sometime now or in the future? GreyHood Talk 18:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

The President of Bashkorostan has said 55% of the population there is Muslim, and he uses this number due to the ethnic percentage of Tatars and Bashkirs who live there. Your source once again, uses the number from the 2002 census, not the 2010 one. There is a major double standard on your part. Your own source doesn't even mentioned the number of Muslims, it only says PREDOMINANTLY of the 52.9% is Muslim. Tatars are literally all Muslim. I only updated the source which means most likely means that PREDOMINANTLY the 53.2% of the Tatars are Muslim. 68.149.133.218 ( talk) 22:55, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Just stalked you to see if you had started yet. Can you translate this:
Кизлярка — виноградная водка. Название происходит от города Кизляра (север современного Дагестана). Крепость — 40 %. По методу производства является полным аналогом итальянской граппы и грузинской чачи. Упоминается в повести Н. С. Лескова «Левша» под названием «кислярка»[источник не указан 215 дней]: "Платов ничего государю не ответил, ... а пришел в свою квартиру, велел денщику подать из погребца фляжку кавказской водки-кислярки."
Кизлярка изначально была водкой князей Эристовых[источник не указан 215 дней], производилась из фруктово-ягодного сырья. После введения водочной монополии 1894-1896 была переведена в категорию псевдорусских водок. Была популярна в народе. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:40, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Ezhiki,
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar -- Jaobar ( talk) 18:26, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey! Thanks for changing back the Khasan stuff. I had no idea that there was a specific way Russian towns / cities are named in WikiPedia (first Russian article, I think). Hopefully it didn't cause too much trouble. At least now all the links to the town will be coming in without the double redirect... spent blooming ages getting them all pointing to the one page!

Hi Ezhiki, first of all, hello. We've interected in many articles in the past but we've never had a conversation. The reason I'm contacting you, is you've reverted my changes in 5 articles. As you know, these changes involved adding the russian pronunciation to articles about cities in Russia. While I agree with you that when IPA is available it's not strictly necessary to also have the stressed syllable marked in the russian name, I'd like to bring the following to your attention:
a) having the stressed syllable marked both in the name and in the IPA doesn't do any damage. And certainly not any damage that requires you to revert other people's changes.
b) having the stressed syllable in the name makes the stress information accessible to people who know the cyrillic alphabet but are not familiar with the IPA system. I'm sure you'll realise that there are far more people in the world who know the cyrillic alphabet than people who know IPA.
Of course I assume you have reverted my edits in good faith, but I would appreciate a response. Other people are of course also welcome to comment on this.

Hi! How are you doing? I've been really busy with my studies and haven't had much time for WP, but I noticed that someone has merged Russian police reform to Russian police without discussion. I don't have the time to check for correct procedures; can I just revert it? It seems clear to me that the reform itself is a large and important enough topic to warrant its own article.

I'm working on the Blagodarny article, but I'm unsure of how to fill in the coordinates for the infobox, as there are a total of six numbers in this case. I've searched around for information on how to do so, but not finding much in terms of how the information merges into the infobox. Here are the coordinates:
{{Coord|45|05|52|N|43|26|11|E|display=title}}
If you could provide some assistance on how these should be merged into Template:Infobox Russian inhabited locality:

Hi Ezhiki, I've been off wiki for a while, and before that one of my last major contributions was reworking this template together with you. I noticed that the official results for the 2010 census are available now, which perhaps makes it a good moment to move the version of this template based on infobox settlement to mainspace (we couldn't do that before because it didn't have enough space to include the 2002 statistics, but this should no longer be an issue). What's your opinion on this? Let me know!-- Lady Pablo ( talk) 17:58, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Ëzhiki! I did some work on the template in the sandbox (my own as well as the template's), you can see some of the results here. Of course it's still pretty much a work in progress but it seemed to work with the few articles I checked.-- Lady Pablo ( talk) 16:27, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
OK, here are my thoughts after trying the template out and seeing the code. However, let me start with the list of issues you have on your user page. Incidentally, I don't think any one of them warrants a complete re-design, as they can be dealt with just as well within the existing template. So, my question still stands—if you can elaborate further, I'd greatly appreciate it.
As for the main template being "too complex", I'd say it is much less complex than what you've just created (which is basically a hack wrapped around an unwieldy monster :))
Now for the template itself. First off, in my opinion, it looks and is organized much worse than the current template. Mind you, I don't consider the current template the epitome of designer's genius, but it is nevertheless cleaner and more organized than your proposal by leaps and bounds. I'm sure you will be able to address some of these concerns, but much of this I just don't see as fixable as long as you stick to Infobox Settlement:
Hopefully I've been specific enough. If I catch something else, I'll certainly follow-up.— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); April 9, 2012; 18:03 (UTC)

Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I'm scouring user pages looking for inspiring, motivating and interesting stories of how Wikipedia has affected the lives of people. I'm asking questions like "How has Wikipedia changed your life?", "What's the most interesting story you have about Wikipedia?" and "Has Wikipedia ever surprised you?"
Last year, we used the annual fundraiser as a way to show the world who it is who actually writes Wikipedia. We featured editors from Brazil, Ukraine, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, India, United States and England. This campaign was a huge success, resulting in the most financially successful fundraising campaign ever. It was also a campaign that stayed true to the spirit of Wikipedia, educating the public that this free top-5 website is created by volunteers like you and I.
This year we want to highlight more Russian-language Wikipedia editors, so I am in the process of planning a trip to Russia to interview editors.
If you or someone you know (or have heard about) has been positively affected by Wikipedia, or have something interesting to say about Wikipedia I'd very much like to hear about it!
Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know someone else with whom I should speak.
Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I will answer as soon as I can. I apologize for any poor translation of this letter, I am using Google-translate. I hope it makes you laugh :)
Thank you for your time,

Hi! Re: this and the hatnote in Russia. The points made here are of course valid, and the constitution indeed was taken in 1993, but still you write yourself that "the RSFSR was renamed in 1991". Existence of the RSFSR in 1992-1993 is something contrary to the typical understanding of events as well as contrary to the naming. I'd propose to restore the more common dating but make a note explaining the situation with state progression in detail. GreyHood Talk 18:51, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

I am questioning why all of these Russian Federal Subject infobox maps are defaulted to 1:100,000 scale. What is the point of drilling down to some irrelevant detail? I just very recently edited a few (previously unmapped) articles with more appropriately-scaled maps. I would re-do the whole mess of them, but I am not sure how to unlock the default scale.

Therefore I would like to invite you to join Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(geography)#Let_us_start_to_work_it_into_a_policy_proposal when you come back.

I am aware that spelling errors in File: names and Image: names, not to mention #REDIRECTS, should NOT be fixed, but occasionally do not notice the same. It would help if wiki could highlight say File: and Image: etc, is a different colour, not being black, to make these keywords easier to spot.
If one finds an incorrectly "corrected" File: names, mark it briefly rv bad File: name fix. Tabletop ( talk) 04:02, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

As You see,
Луостари,
Luostari is a rural locality in Russia, but it has a Finnish name and means monastery in English and монастырь, monastyr in Russian.
So, e.g.
Янисъярви, Jänisjärvi is a Finnish name (not "Yanisyarvi");
Имени Карла Либкнехта, Imeni Karla Liebknechta (not "Imeni Karla Libknekhta") has its German parts from
Karl Liebknecht;
Тольятти, Togliatti (not "Tolyatti") has named after Italian
Palmiro Togliatti - and don't forget
TogliattiAzot.
Also many, many other places in Russia have names, which are not Russian.

Hello. I saw your edit in this article so I came to ask your help. User:Arssenev moved this article from
Polibino, Lipetsk Oblast (now redirects to disambig
Polibino, Dankovsky District, Lipetsk Oblast which is incorrect as I think), so an article about village became an article about one unique construction from this willage and even with wrong name. So I'm asking you to revert his edits and to rename this article back with redirect suppression. If he wants to create a new article about a tower, he can split this article, moving his version to
Shukhov's tower in Polibino. --

Can you take a look at Main Centre for Missile Attack Warning and assess it for WP:RU?

Hi, wondered whether you had time to review Snezhnoye? I Think I have exhausted all relevant sources in russian and english, it seems only one woman has published extensive studies of the village. Anyway, it was at start status when it was first reviewed. I was wondering whether there was any chance of a GA status. I'm still reading up on Chukotka and spent several weeks there last year so thought it would be a good idea to focus on one article to get some sort of critcism that I could take to other articles. I'd like to take this to peer review, but have built the article after reading numerous academic articles so if you could provide feedback on this I think it would help me out a lot on expanding a lot of the remaining CAO articles. I don't want to do the same thing to a number of articles but be heading in the wrong direction. Thanks in advance. Fenix down ( talk) 23:33, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

FYI: Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation#Istra. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 08:48, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
See, your argument is strictly in terms of Wikipedia infrastructure. The readers, however, reach our articles from all sorts of external places and aren't necessarily familiar with Wikipedia's rigid arbitrary rules of disambiguation upon arrival, or know which title can be considered ambiguous and which can't be (and it's not like we are consistent, anyway). Do a google search for "Istra", "Istra, Russia", or "Istra, Moscow Oblast", for example, and imagine yourself in a position of a reader who is searching for a smaller Istra but isn't aware that another, larger, Istra exists nearby.
I do agree that quite a few or WT:DAB rules and restrictions are counterproductive. You're welcome to drop me a note whenever there is a discussion or "community review" there. -- Vmenkov ( talk) 17:35, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

There is perhaps one thing we should discuss. I noticed that yesterday you started to move the info on abolished districts out of the articles, like this. Whereas I understand your reasoning - indeed, to the article on Krestetsky District only the info that Mstinsky District was merged into it at some point really belongs, and the rest should go into the (not yet written) article on Mstinsky district. On the other hand, writing articles on abolished districts is not a high priority for any of us, and it is unlikely they will be created, at least more than on a stub level, in the coming decade. These districts existed on lands currently belonging to te current districts (and ths is why I decided to include them in the articles in the first place). I would prefer to keep this info for now and only remove/shorten it once the articles are created, but I am obviously open for discussion.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 01:05, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Уважаемые Ezhiki! Unlike some editors, I do appreciate very much your creation of numerous disambig pages full of red links; I quite agree that theses lists of homonymous toponyms add value. But I have a quibble about naming them. Is this an example of our rules been stronger than our common sense? (Much like we had with Vanino some years back, methinks). It seems to me that the article about Cherlak, Cherlaksky District, Omsk Oblast ought to be simply Cherlak, while the disambig page (which, besides the main Cherlak town, only has red links) should be Cherlak (disambiguation). Think of it:
The above means that practically anyone who may conceivably look for Cherlak will look for the "primary" one. Just MHO, of course. -- Vmenkov ( talk) 01:26, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Dear Ezhiki: I wonder if you can enlighten me as to the accepted Wikipedia rules for using "city" and "town" with respect to populated places (or, in Wikipedia-speak, "inhabited localities") in Russia. I know that we do have a firm formal convention for P.R.China, so that a shi of any rank is always a "city", a zhen is a "town", and a xiang is a "township"; while this usage may on occasions disagree with the living usage, it is at least unambiguous, and allows a one-to-one mapping between the official Chinese and translated English nomenclature. Howwever, I have no idea if a similar convention has been worked out for Russia.
My informal way of speaking is to use "city" to refer to what's called gorod in Russia, and "town" for a p.g.t. (formally, urban-type settlement). This approach at least have a virtue of not creating a distinction in English where none exists in Russian, and not using "translatorese" jargon where it may be avoided. But if Wikipedia has a formal rule (a MOS item) on the matter, I'd like to be aware on it!
If there are no rules and someone wants to create them, perhaps he can use the city/town distinction to map the rather esoteric (but bureaucratically important) distinction between gorod oblastonogo podchinenia (a city whose government is directly subordinated to that of an oblast) and gorod raionnogo podchinenia (a city whose government is directly subordinated to that of a district (raion), which in its turn subordinated to an oblast). Any thoughts? -- Vmenkov ( talk) 20:39, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
A belated note about the above discussion and the MOS (saw it, thanks). I suppose 100K population is as good city/town threshold as any, although for me the mental threshold - if I were to think in terms of a population criterion (rather than an official designation) at all - is more like 20-30 thousand. Obviously such thresholds (or informal criteria) would be different for different contributors. I personally would be in favor of the MOS using an approach similar to that used with respect to the British/American spelling dichotomy: Namely, if the earlier major contributors to an article have chosen to more or less uniformly use "city" or "town" within the article's text, then later contributors should be advised to refrain to making the city->town or town->city change without a really good reason, just for the change's (and between-articles uniformity's) sake. -- Vmenkov ( talk) 02:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Я извиняюсь, вы обсуждали когда писать town/city, поэтому может будет полезна
страничка в OSM (
на русском).
А вообще, как я как-то уже говорил, надо как-то объединяться и наводить порядок, т.к. в OSM - одни координаты, в Commons - другие, в Википедии - третьи, взятые с кривых снимков; в англовики - одни названия, в Commons - другие, в OSM - третьи, в Викиданных будут четвёртые. То же касается границ, разного территориального деления и т.п. Вот, например, в Commons
administrative okrugs называются "districts", а "
Arbat District" в Commons называется просто
Arbat. Или вот
единую территорию Москвы
каким-то образом разделили на субъект федерации и собственно населённый пункт Москва, и теперь НП Москва выглядит
вот так - без районов "старой Москвы" Внуково, Бутово и ЗелАО, которые были убраны из "населённого пункта Москва", а вот зато район Некрасовка, Люберецкие поля орошения, посёлок Рублёво и деревня Мякинино - это по-любому исконная территория НП Москва. Может быть это и правильно, но источника такого разделения я не увидел, а бесконечно вести обсуждения по кругу на куче разных сайтов невозможно. --

I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).

Пройдено 134856 ходовых миль, из них 77245 в подводном положении." at ru:Тула (подводная лодка), and compare that with "During 1987–1988, the boat conducted seven patrols, including five in the Arctic, 17 combat duties, and firing of twelve missiles." from Russian submarine K-114? I suspect the sentence from the English website [1] (which I used as a source for my article) was hastily translate from the Russian Wikipedia article.

I have no clue what the problem is. Your source says 52.9% of the population is Tatar (whom are 99.99% Muslim). The source took this number from the 2002 census. The NEW 2010 census says 53.2% are Tatar (again, 99.99% Muslim). Your link only says the 52.9% are PREDOMINANTLY Muslim. It does not give the actual number who literally profess to Islam.

Hello again! I suppose you are quite busy, as always, but may I suggest you one task to do.
You know, there is a long list of rural localities at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Russia/Human_geography_of_Russia_task_force#Rural_localities under the subsection "Attention needed", and a small list of urban-type settlements Wikipedia:WikiProject_Russia/Human_geography_of_Russia_task_force#Urban-type_settlements also at the subsection "Attention needed". In 99% of cases with the listed articles "attention needed" means that those articles are orphaned or totally unreferenced.
I suppose also that those articles mostly have no chance for a decent expansion, unless some interested locals come and work on them. So the best decision would be to de-orphan those articles in a simple way (linking them from the district articles or so) and provide one or two references for them (or perhaps even delete some simultaneously orphaned and unreferenced) and then remove them from the task force list, which should concentrate on more important tasks. Would you like to do this sometime now or in the future? GreyHood Talk 18:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

The President of Bashkorostan has said 55% of the population there is Muslim, and he uses this number due to the ethnic percentage of Tatars and Bashkirs who live there. Your source once again, uses the number from the 2002 census, not the 2010 one. There is a major double standard on your part. Your own source doesn't even mentioned the number of Muslims, it only says PREDOMINANTLY of the 52.9% is Muslim. Tatars are literally all Muslim. I only updated the source which means most likely means that PREDOMINANTLY the 53.2% of the Tatars are Muslim. 68.149.133.218 ( talk) 22:55, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Кизлярка — виноградная водка. Название происходит от города Кизляра (север современного Дагестана). Крепость — 40 %. По методу производства является полным аналогом итальянской граппы и грузинской чачи. Упоминается в повести Н. С. Лескова «Левша» под названием «кислярка»[источник не указан 215 дней]: "Платов ничего государю не ответил, ... а пришел в свою квартиру, велел денщику подать из погребца фляжку кавказской водки-кислярки."
Кизлярка изначально была водкой князей Эристовых[источник не указан 215 дней], производилась из фруктово-ягодного сырья. После введения водочной монополии 1894-1896 была переведена в категорию псевдорусских водок. Была популярна в народе. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:40, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Ezhiki,
My name is Jonathan Obar
user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Hopefully it didn't cause too much trouble. At least now all the links to the town will be coming in without the double redirect... spent blooming ages getting them all pointing to the one page!
Do you think we still need the Khasan (disambiguation) page?
Apologies again.

Hi Ezhiki, first of all, hello. We've interected in many articles in the past but we've never had a conversation. The reason I'm contacting you, is you've reverted my changes in 5 articles. As you know, these changes involved adding the russian pronunciation to articles about cities in Russia. While I agree with you that when IPA is available it's not strictly necessary to also have the stressed syllable marked in the russian name, I'd like to bring the following to your attention:
a) having the stressed syllable marked both in the name and in the IPA doesn't do any damage. And certainly not any damage that requires you to revert other people's changes.
b) having the stressed syllable in the name makes the stress information accessible to people who know the cyrillic alphabet but are not familiar with the IPA system. I'm sure you'll realise that there are far more people in the world who know the cyrillic alphabet than people who know IPA.
Of course I assume you have reverted my edits in good faith, but I would appreciate a response. Other people are of course also welcome to comment on this.

Hi! How are you doing? I've been really busy with my studies and haven't had much time for WP, but I noticed that someone has merged Russian police reform to Russian police without discussion. I don't have the time to check for correct procedures; can I just revert it? It seems clear to me that the reform itself is a large and important enough topic to warrant its own article. And it's not good that now over 70% of the article "Russian police" is about just the reform. What do you think? Nanobear ( talk) 02:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks and a request Just wanted to drop a quick thanks for going through Russian cities and doing the tweaks. One thing, however: could you please not commit the edits which do not affect anything visible in the article (such as here)? I believe one condition the users of automated tools have to agree is that the tools will not be used for edits consisting solely of trivial fixes, such as adding/removing spaces, or changing formatting style without a compelling reason. Other than that, good job, much appreciated, carry on! Cheers,— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); March 29, 2012; 18:51 (UTC)
I'm working on the Blagodarny article, but I'm unsure of how to fill in the coordinates for the infobox, as there are a total of six numbers in this case. I've searched around for information on how to do so, but not finding much in terms of how the information merges into the infobox. Here are the coordinates:
{{Coord|45|05|52|N|43|26|11|E|display=title}}
If you could provide some assistance on how these should be merged into Template:Infobox Russian inhabited locality:
...it would be of great assistance. Thanks for your consideration. Northamerica1000 (talk) 03:17, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Ezhiki, I've been off wiki for a while, and before that one of my last major contributions was reworking this template together with you. I noticed that the official results for the 2010 census are available now, which perhaps makes it a good moment to move the version of this template based on infobox settlement to mainspace (we couldn't do that before because it didn't have enough space to include the 2002 statistics, but this should no longer be an issue). What's your opinion on this? Let me know!-- Lady Pablo ( talk) 17:58, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Ëzhiki! I did some work on the template in the sandbox (my own as well as the template's), you can see some of the results here. Of course it's still pretty much a work in progress but it seemed to work with the few articles I checked.-- Lady Pablo ( talk) 16:27, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
OK, here are my thoughts after trying the template out and seeing the code. However, let me start with the list of issues you have on your user page. Incidentally, I don't think any one of them warrants a complete re-design, as they can be dealt with just as well within the existing template. So, my question still stands—if you can elaborate further, I'd greatly appreciate it.
As for the main template being "too complex", I'd say it is much less complex than what you've just created (which is basically a hack wrapped around an unwieldy monster :))
Now for the template itself. First off, in my opinion, it looks and is organized much worse than the current template. Mind you, I don't consider the current template the epitome of designer's genius, but it is nevertheless cleaner and more organized than your proposal by leaps and bounds. I'm sure you will be able to address some of these concerns, but much of this I just don't see as fixable as long as you stick to Infobox Settlement:
Hopefully I've been specific enough. If I catch something else, I'll certainly follow-up.— Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • ( yo?); April 9, 2012; 18:03 (UTC)

Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I'm scouring user pages looking for inspiring, motivating and interesting stories of how Wikipedia has affected the lives of people. I'm asking questions like "How has Wikipedia changed your life?", "What's the most interesting story you have about Wikipedia?" and "Has Wikipedia ever surprised you?"
Last year, we used the annual fundraiser as a way to show the world who it is who actually writes Wikipedia. We featured editors from Brazil, Ukraine, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, India, United States and England. This campaign was a huge success, resulting in the most financially successful fundraising campaign ever. It was also a campaign that stayed true to the spirit of Wikipedia, educating the public that this free top-5 website is created by volunteers like you and I.
This year we want to highlight more Russian-language Wikipedia editors, so I am in the process of planning a trip to Russia to interview editors.
If you or someone you know (or have heard about) has been positively affected by Wikipedia, or have something interesting to say about Wikipedia I'd very much like to hear about it!
Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know someone else with whom I should speak.
Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I will answer as soon as I can. I apologize for any poor translation of this letter, I am using Google-translate. I hope it makes you laugh :)
Thank you for your time,

Hi! Re: this and the hatnote in Russia. The points made here are of course valid, and the constitution indeed was taken in 1993, but still you write yourself that "the RSFSR was renamed in 1991". Existence of the RSFSR in 1992-1993 is something contrary to the typical understanding of events as well as contrary to the naming. I'd propose to restore the more common dating but make a note explaining the situation with state progression in detail. GreyHood Talk 18:51, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

As You see,
Луостари,
Luostari is a rural locality in Russia, but it has a Finnish name and means monastery in English and монастырь, monastyr in Russian.
So, e.g.
Янисъярви, Jänisjärvi is a Finnish name (not "Yanisyarvi");
Имени Карла Либкнехта, Imeni Karla Liebknechta (not "Imeni Karla Libknekhta") has its German parts from
Karl Liebknecht;
Тольятти, Togliatti (not "Tolyatti") has named after Italian
Palmiro Togliatti - and don't forget
TogliattiAzot.
Also many, many other places in Russia have names, which are not Russian.

Hi, wondered whether you had time to review Snezhnoye? I Think I have exhausted all relevant sources in russian and english, it seems only one woman has published extensive studies of the village. Anyway, it was at start status when it was first reviewed. I was wondering whether there was any chance of a GA status. I'm still reading up on Chukotka and spent several weeks there last year so thought it would be a good idea to focus on one article to get some sort of critcism that I could take to other articles. I'd like to take this to peer review, but have built the article after reading numerous academic articles so if you could provide feedback on this I think it would help me out a lot on expanding a lot of the remaining CAO articles.

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

See, your argument is strictly in terms of Wikipedia infrastructure. The readers, however, reach our articles from all sorts of external places and aren't necessarily familiar with Wikipedia's rigid arbitrary rules of disambiguation upon arrival, or know which title can be considered ambiguous and which can't be (and it's not like we are consistent, anyway). Do a google search for "Istra", "Istra, Russia", or "Istra, Moscow Oblast", for example, and imagine yourself in a position of a reader who is searching for a smaller Istra but isn't aware that another, larger, Istra exists nearby.
I do agree that quite a few or WT:DAB rules and restrictions are counterproductive. You're welcome to drop me a note whenever there is a discussion or "community review" there. -- Vmenkov ( talk) 17:35, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

There is perhaps one thing we should discuss. I noticed that yesterday you started to move the info on abolished districts out of the articles, like this. Whereas I understand your reasoning - indeed, to the article on Krestetsky District only the info that Mstinsky District was merged into it at some point really belongs, and the rest should go into the (not yet written) article on Mstinsky district. On the other hand, writing articles on abolished districts is not a high priority for any of us, and it is unlikely they will be created, at least more than on a stub level, in the coming decade. These districts existed on lands currently belonging to te current districts (and ths is why I decided to include them in the articles in the first place). I would prefer to keep this info for now and only remove/shorten it once the articles are created, but I am obviously open for discussion.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 01:05, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
I checked again, and page 152 of Snytko et al says the Lyubytinsky District was formed in 1964 from Borovichsky and Pestovsky (agricultural?)

I am currently sitting in a hotel at the Incheon International Airport and have no access to the maps, but I hope this info should be sufficient to clear the issue somehow and remove the tag.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 14:01, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Уважаемые Ezhiki! Unlike some editors, I do appreciate very much your creation of numerous disambig pages full of red links; I quite agree that theses lists of homonymous toponyms add value. But I have a quibble about naming them. Is this an example of our rules been stronger than our common sense? (Much like we had with Vanino some years back, methinks). It seems to me that the article about Cherlak, Cherlaksky District, Omsk Oblast ought to be simply Cherlak, while the disambig page (which, besides the main Cherlak town, only has red links) should be Cherlak (disambiguation). Think of it:
The above means that practically anyone who may conceivably look for Cherlak will look for the "primary" one. Just MHO, of course. -- Vmenkov ( talk) 01:26, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Dear Ezhiki: I wonder if you can enlighten me as to the accepted Wikipedia rules for using "city" and "town" with respect to populated places (or, in Wikipedia-speak, "inhabited localities") in Russia. I know that we do have a firm formal convention for P.R.China, so that a shi of any rank is always a "city", a zhen is a "town", and a xiang is a "township"; while this usage may on occasions disagree with the living usage, it is at least unambiguous, and allows a one-to-one mapping between the official Chinese and translated English nomenclature. Howwever, I have no idea if a similar convention has been worked out for Russia.
My informal way of speaking is to use "city" to refer to what's called gorod in Russia, and "town" for a p.g.t. (formally, urban-type settlement). This approach at least have a virtue of not creating a distinction in English where none exists in Russian, and not using "translatorese" jargon where it may be avoided. But if Wikipedia has a formal rule (a MOS item) on the matter, I'd like to be aware on it!
If there are no rules and someone wants to create them, perhaps he can use the city/town distinction to map the rather esoteric (but bureaucratically important) distinction between gorod oblastonogo podchinenia (a city whose government is directly subordinated to that of an oblast) and gorod raionnogo podchinenia (a city whose government is directly subordinated to that of a district (raion), which in its turn subordinated to an oblast). Any thoughts? -- Vmenkov ( talk) 20:39, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
A belated note about the above discussion and the MOS (saw it, thanks). I suppose 100K population is as good city/town threshold as any, although for me the mental threshold - if I were to think in terms of a population criterion (rather than an official designation) at all - is more like 20-30 thousand. Obviously such thresholds (or informal criteria) would be different for different contributors. I personally would be in favor of the MOS using an approach similar to that used with respect to the British/American spelling dichotomy: Namely, if the earlier major contributors to an article have chosen to more or less uniformly use "city" or "town" within the article's text, then later contributors should be advised to refrain to making the city->town or town->city change without a really good reason, just for the change's (and between-articles uniformity's) sake. -- Vmenkov ( talk) 02:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Я извиняюсь, вы обсуждали когда писать town/city, поэтому может будет полезна
страничка в OSM (
на русском).
А вообще, как я как-то уже говорил, надо как-то объединяться и наводить порядок, т.к. в OSM - одни координаты, в Commons - другие, в Википедии - третьи, взятые с кривых снимков; в англовики - одни названия, в Commons - другие, в OSM - третьи, в Викиданных будут четвёртые. То же касается границ, разного территориального деления и т.п. Вот, например, в Commons
administrative okrugs называются "districts", а "
Arbat District" в Commons называется просто
Arbat. Или вот
единую территорию Москвы
каким-то образом разделили на субъект федерации и собственно населённый пункт Москва, и теперь НП Москва выглядит
вот так - без районов "старой Москвы" Внуково, Бутово и ЗелАО, которые были убраны из "населённого пункта Москва", а вот зато район Некрасовка, Люберецкие поля орошения, посёлок Рублёво и деревня Мякинино - это по-любому исконная территория НП Москва. Может быть это и правильно, но источника такого разделения я не увидел, а бесконечно вести обсуждения по кругу на куче разных сайтов невозможно. --

I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
