[edit] Portal

If you are interested in Russia-related themes, you may want to check out the Russia 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.

Again, welcome!-Irpen 03:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Привет

Благодарю за приглашение. Мне померещилось или право русская община на Вики захилела(кажется англоязычных статей о России и СССР порядком больше чем русских)? Crocodilicus 10:22, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

В каком смысле? Не совсем понял вопрос. Если Вы имеете в виду RU.wikipedia.com , то ничего сказать не могу. Я там почти не бываю. Вобщем, если есть желание активно учавствовать в развитии российских (и не только) тем на EN-wiki, то следите за порталом. Так же есть еще и украинский портал (тоже активный, но не так как российский) Portal:Ukraine. Так что, было бы время и желание, а интересных задач - море. --Irpen 23:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Naval ship articles

Not certain what is meant by "linking", but I'll assume you are referring to the article names which we use to link from one article to another. These article names have to be unique, so, eg "Tirpitz" could refer to the German warship or to the German admiral. Similarly, "Hermes" could mean the Greek god or one of ten British warships of that name. Normally, this can be resolved through a disambiguation page. However, these should be avoided when possible.

For British warships, the prefix "HMS" is sufficient. For German warships, there is no correct prefix (KM or DKM are not correct), so by custom we use "German battleship Tirpitz" which works so long as there is only one (similar convention for most other navies). British warships recycle names, so these must be separated, use the penant number when known or the launch date. Similar conventions apply to any navy that uses prefixes (USS, HMCS, HMNZS, etc); the USN also uses "hull numbers" which are unique.

I don't know the Russian or previous Soviet conventions, but some Russian ship articles use the prefix "RFS", plus a reference number (eg, RFS Dmitri Donskoi (TK-208)). I don't know if this correct.

Does this help? Folks at 137 18:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

==Just been going over some of the cocktail and drink pages and created the old fashioned glass page. The old fashioned is the correct name for the rocks glass, rocks glass is a slang name for old fashioned. I made wiki/rocks glass to redirect to old fashioned glass. The only page that linked to rocks glass was your user page, so I thought I would let you know in case you wished to edit your user page to reflect this change.
