Welcome to the Physical geography of Russia task force !
The scope of this task force includes all articles related to the
physical geography of Russia , widely construed. Major subtopics include Russia's topography, climate, biodiversity, exploration of Russia and Russian explorers.
Improving the coverage of Russia's physical geography on Wikipedia
The following line should be inserted onto the talk page of an article to place it within
WP:RUSSIA scope, with appropriate
assessment parameters :
{{WikiProject Russia|class=|importance=}}
For articles within the scope of this task force, also set the "physgeo" parameter to "yes":
{{WikiProject Russia|class=|importance=|physgeo=yes}}
When assessing a page with WP:RUSSIA template, consider also adding templates of other wikiprojects. This may attract more editors to the page.
