[edit] Portal:Russia

Hi there. I see that you edit Russia-related topics. Come check Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. You may even want to add these boards to your watchlist. Cheers, Ghirla -трёп- 17:33, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Railway termini

It's nice to see someone finally paying attention to the Russian railways in this project, but I would like to ask you a favor. Please don't start new articles on Kazansky and Yaroslavsky stations in Moscow and also about the Vitebsky and Moskovsky stations in St Pete. These four articles have been on my to-do list for ages, so I would like to start these four articles myself :) Thanks for understanding and keep up the good work, Ghirla -трёп- 23:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yevgeny Tolstikov

Thanks for the input! It's hard to find information about this guy in English, I guess you speak Russian so you could help a lot :) - FrancisTyers 12:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's also hard to find much info in the Russian web.... Goudzovski 13:02, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] City templates

Hi there! Thanks for all your work with the city/town templates—it's a great relief to know that I'll have to do a lot fewer of them now :)

I just wanted to ask you in which order you are completing them. I wanted to resume working on them as well, and don't want us to accidentally duplicate each other's efforts. If you could let me know, that'd be great. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, good. I'm going to work on them alphabetically then, skipping over those in the Northwestern Federal District.
As for your second question, you are correct. Category:Cities and towns under jurisdiction of Saint Petersburg is a subcat of Category:Cities and towns in Leningrad Oblast because at the time it was the easiest way to keep track of all the mess that existed in that area. Now would be a good time to separate the two. As for Kolpino, that particular sentence was added by an anon all the way back in 2004. I guess I never got around to proofreading the article on Leningrad Oblast to note this inaccuracy. I removed the sentence about Kolpino altogether, because the "aside from St. Petersburg" part is just as misleading. Thanks for catching this; your attentiveness to details amazes me to no end. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer. I just created the Template:Cities and towns under jurisdiction of Saint Petersburg, and detached these ones from the ones in Leningrad Oblast. Goudzovski 12:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC).
Another template will contain the municipal settlements of SPb. Goudzovski 14:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Railway terminals

Done, but that actually did not need admin priviliges. Thanks for pointing this out, though.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:31, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lake infobox

Hello, infoboxes in stubs look ugly and better be avoided, cause they create ugly image jams and make the article look slovenly! Furthermore, the information you put into your infobox is already covered in the article. So what's the point? Let's keep a shorter infobox, it's much nicer this way. --Ghirla -трёп- 11:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

  • OK, I see your point. Then my proposal would be to remove the infobox completely. Anyway, it dublicates the text. What's your opinion? Goudzovski 11:36, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, I believe the article is quite alright now. We should expand it gradually, but the current infobox is OK with me. --Ghirla -трёп- 11:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coordinates

I added the template to many dozen articles, and I may tell you two things: a) the template I add is easier to operate (at least for me); b) the second are not always omitted, they are very useful for small settlements. Sometimes I omit seconds, then check Google Earth and see something very different from the town I wanted to find. So the seconds are actually useful. --Ghirla -трёп- 09:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mzymta

Привет! Хочу всё-таки разобраться, какая река в России из впадающих в Чёрное море самая большая? Кубань ведь впадает в Азовское море... Сами жители Адлера утверждают что всё-таки Мзымта. --Wiki 13:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Sorry, my mistake... I have reverted my correction to the article. Thanks. Goudzovski 06:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arkhangelsk Oblast

Hi I have recently set up the Template:Arkhangelsk Oblast which includes the district raions, cities and towns in Arkhangelsk. I then realised you have created one for cities and towns. Please could you move the template on the cities Template:Cities and towns in Arkhangelsk Oblast to the covering Oblast one and add the coat of arms from yours onto mine. I think its best if we have a template that covers locations in the oblast. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 13:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Please also see User talk:Ernst Stavro Blofeld#Arkhangelsk Oblast for my response to Ernst. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:04, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Dear Ezhiki, thanks for commenting on the point, I was confused about if the templates should be expanded or not... Goudzovski 06:27, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please textify your lists

Privet, I think your version of the article looks listy. This layout is an eyesore. --Ghirla -трёп- 08:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
