[edit] Luckdragons

I'm sorry, but was Gmork really a Luckdragon? AFAIR it wasn't stated anywhere in the book... --Koveras 10:34, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought about that... After I posted a change... I should think about it before... But then they must be posted separately... --Yuriy Lapitskiy 21:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Protonstation.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Protonstation.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Image:Szulik matthew.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Szulik matthew.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 06:40, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kraskovo

The infobox was in such poor condition, that it was easier to start a-new than to fix it. It was not standardized, not a template, and contained too much arbitrary information (why list federal district when the lead already specifies the federal subject? why is the federal district even relevant for an urban-type settlement? why is the raion listed under "subdivisions of Russia"? why specify UTC when it's the same as in the rest of the oblast? etc. etc.)

Adding such infoboxes is generally of little value. Eventually, one standardized template will need to be developed (such as one existing for cities/towns, for example), and until then it's better to just textify infobox data.

That said, I am sorry I did not textify salvageable pieces in the first place—I've just fixed that.

Please let me know if you have further questions.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Your principle "better cut than correct" is cool but arguable. :) How about the coat of arms? I agree that a template is better than plain text formatting, found Template:Infobox City Russia... Will it be OK for a townlet? --Yuriy Lapitskiy 19:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for returning the coat of arms :) --Yuriy Lapitskiy 19:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I am sorry about the coat of arms, I did not intend to remove it. It was my oversight. Anyway, it's back.
As for applying the city infobox (be it Template:Infobox City Russia or Template:Infobox City), if you can make it work for urban-type settlements, by all means go ahead. While my view is that it is pointless to add infoboxes to articles with hardly any content, I am certainly not going to remove well-thought infoboxes with standard layout and accurate information. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
