About me

• I became a Wikipedian on March 1, 2004
• I became an administrator on the English Wikipedia on August 26, 2004
• I am a male Russian American
• I am also a self-appointed keeper of consistency :)
• In case you wondered, "Ëzhiki" means "hedgehogs" in Russian
• Feel free to criticize me here (anything goes!)

To-dos & have-dones

In progress

• Russian federal subjects WikiProject (status)
  • Administrative divisions of Russia:
    • Administrative divisions of the Russian federal subjects
    • History of the administrative division of Russia

Completed

• Modern administrative divisions of the Russian federal subjects:
  • compiled complete lists of districts, cities/towns, city districts, urban-type settlements, and selsovets of all Russian federal subjects except Chechnya and Ingushetia;
  • brought administrative and municipal divisions of Adygea to featured list status.
• Template-making
  • Conversion templates: {{km to mi}}, {{ft2 to m2}}, {{C to F}}, and most of the rest {{x to y}} templates
  • Math templates: {{gcd}}, {{dec to frac}}
  • Russian geo-locations: {{Infobox Russian city}}, {{Infobox Russian district}}, {{Infobox Russian federal city}}, {{Infobox Russian federal subject}}
  • Utility: {{Audio-ru}}, {{Ru-census}}, {{Cite Russian law}}
  • Proof of concept: {{Infobox Xlit ru}} (an attempt to create a template which would automate transliteration of Russian words), {{Russian district composition}} (probably an overkill)
• Actual encyclopedic articles (pathetic, I know)
  • Yevgeny Burachyok, Height 611 UFO Incident, Nikolay Vasilyevich Komarov, Microdistrict, Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky
