[edit] Administrative centers

Hi, JF! Of course, I'd support this any day. It has been my intention to bring the articles on Russian administrative divisions and settlements to the U.S. level of detail all along, but I thought I'd put the "infrastructure" up first (in hopes to lure others interested in the subject, so they have something to start with), and then worry about the finer details later. It's incredible how slow things are moving when one is the only person to work on a subject area. Surely, I could use any help I'm offered :)

I am also curious as to what sources you are going to use. Hopefully it's not the official websites; you've seen how careless and outdated they can be. If you need something more reliable to work with, let me know, I'll gladly send the documentation I have. It will, of course, be in Russian, but since it's in a list format with very little narrative, you should feel comfortable with it in a few days (a little longer if you have to learn how to read Cyrillics first). Please email me through wikimail if you are interested.

One more time, thank you for your interest and willingness to help—I sure much appreciate it!—Ëzhiki (Igel Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Emails

Hi, JF! I sent you two emails in the past couple of days—could you confirm that you received them? I am not sure if it's my provider acting up again, or if you just didn't have time to reply. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 21:45, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

It occurs to me that responding to you inline on your page may be flying under your radar given the traffic you get. ;) I still haven't gotten your e-mails, unfortunately. JFMorse 20:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
No, don't worry, I hardly ever miss messages to my talk page. I can't always answer them immediately, but that's another story. Anyhoo, I've just re-sent you my email via a different account. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:19, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New template

Hi, JF! I've just created a new template to improve the accuracy of the references section. Template's use is documented at its talk page, and a usage example is available at Administrative divisions of Ulyanovsk Oblast.

Don't worry about updating already existing articles, but please use this template in the new ones you will be working on. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kashin Map

I was told that you were an expert at maps, and that you may have a fair use map that shows where Kashin is located. If you do, can you please give me a link? I am working on the Kashin article. --GoOdCoNtEnT 21:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DC Meetup notice

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 22:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SVG licensing

Hi, nice work on the Russian federal subject maps! Would you be willing to consider cross-licensing Image:Ru-len_full.svg under a creative commons attribution-shareAlike license? The CC-by-SA licenses contain the same restrictions as GFDL (author attribution and distributable only under the same license), but that would also allow me to use your svg map on Wikitravel. --Peter Talk 22:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
