• Nicholas Legat; not a new article, but could someone check the spelling? Thank you. --Fang Aili ^talk 19:49, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I've moved to Nikolai Legat as the English version is not accepted in this case. --Brand спойт 20:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Cool, thank you. --Fang Aili ^talk 20:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Alexeyev, added more people. KNewman 19:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• A long overdue stub, Ukok Plateau, by User:Mattisse. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 19:06, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Enem and Takhtamukay by me.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Despite some harrassment from well-known Ghirlaphobes, I completed the entire set of Rus'-Byzantine Wars: Rus'-Byzantine War (907), Rus'-Byzantine War (941), Rus'-Byzantine War (1024), Rus'-Byzantine War (1043) :) --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

• Collapse of the Soviet Union, split off and expanded by User:Astrokey44. (Title is POV, should be Dissolution of the Soviet Union.) -- Petri Krohn 10:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
  • The article underestimates the role of the Yeltsin administration in the breakup of the empire. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
    • ...and says nothing on American influence on Yeltsin's policies. -- Petri Krohn 18:16, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
      • You seem to be into conspiracy theories. The US influence was important but it operated elsewhere. AFAIK the main reason for the collapse was Russia's legitimate desire to eliminate spongers. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 19:06, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
        • Hmm, I wouldn't consider it the main reason to be. Generally, the nature of the USSR was unstable from the establishment. --Brand спойт 19:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Krasnovishersk, Gornozavodsk, Perm Krai and Gubakha geo-stubs by me. - Darwinek 09:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Where do you take these battles from? Links to some Russian sources would be helpful. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 09:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Dictionary of Battles. --Ineffable3000 12:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
      • Why ancient Greek name for a 16th-century Muscovite battle? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 19:08, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

• Battle of Tashkessen and Battle of Svistov by me. --Ineffable3000 07:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

• Orlovsky and Kryuchkov dabs by me. Please, expand.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Some expansion. KNewman 20:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Albert Benois by User:Historybuff2283. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 15:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Cemetery stub by me Kmorozov 14:39, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks. It was me who requested it. Expanded, illustrated, and nominated for DYK. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 15:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Sovetsky, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Lebedyan, Dankov and Gryazi geo-stubs by me. - Darwinek 14:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Lebedyan, Dankov, and Zadonsk expanded a bit. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 16:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Berzovsky's International Foundation for Civil Liberties by User:Petri Krohn. Was on speedy I have moved it on afd. Do you think it is notable? Alex Bakharev 05:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I would say it is notable. It is mentioned in legitimate news sources and was founded by Berezovsky, a notable person. It also has many Google hits. --Ineffable3000 06:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
• Kamennomostsky and Yablonovsky by me.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Dobrovolsky, dab page by me. KNewman 20:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Kovalyov dab page, by me. I'd delete Roman Kovalev in an instant, but this assistant professor published some articles, so I'm sure they won't let me. KNewman 19:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
  • The article survived AfD. I believe many less distinguished people have articles in Wikipedia. Kovalev is notable, if only for his connection with Thomas Schaub Noonan, who was an outstanding scholar. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 19:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Chulman, Alzamay and Zheleznogorsk-Ilimsky geo-stubs by me. - Darwinek 19:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• How do we feel about this? - crz crztalk 15:56, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

  There are several translations, all with different titles. This has been discussed before. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• Titania (Petipa/Pugni) by Mlopez. Is it Tatiana or Titania? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 11:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

  . If someone list me mistakes in signature, it will be perfect. --Üñţïf̣ļëŗ (see also:ә? Ә!) 16:47, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
  • And I also have no idea how to designate fronts, units or something other in the image I'd listed there. I can't find such maps in English --Üñţïf̣ļëŗ (see also:ә? Ә!) 13:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Kazan Liberation War, Hill Bank Land, Mameshbirde, Kolka Glacier (stub), Tatar-Russian code-switching by me --Üñţïf̣ļëŗ (see also:ә? Ә!) 16:47, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
  • POV terms like "liberation" are strongly discouraged in articles. They are even less acceptable in their titles. I moved the article to Kazan Rebellion. Hill Bank Land should be englished as Tatarstan Upland or something along these lines. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 18:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Bucharest Russian Church by User:Romanian bat. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 16:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• Diskoteka Avariya by User:Likthem. Conscious 18:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Spotted four Russia-related articles on T:TDYK: Sergei Yushenkov, Yuri Shchekochikhin, Sakhalin Koreans, Scythian Suite. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Sukhoy zakon by User:Dark Green. Hoax? MaxSem 15:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Most likely no. The article seems to be missing until being created by Mikkalai. --Brand спойт 03:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Roman Bagration and Ivan Gurielov, by me. --Kober 15:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• I have unstubbed Nikolai Ge. Should we move him to Nikolay Gay? Alex Bakharev 12:42, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Absolutely not. Errabee 23:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Anatoly Trofimov by User:Dryman. - Darwinek 11:27, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Valeriy Meladze. At long last. --Brand спойт 23:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Samara flag by Todor Bozhinov. On a related note, do we have the article about Banner of Victory? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 20:20, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I've made a redirect :) --Brand спойт 23:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Ivan Tvorozhnikov, Nikolai Sverchkov and Grigoriy Soroka. --Brand спойт 15:43, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Movladi Baisarov by User:HanzoHattori. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 15:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• I started Yevgeny Samoylov and expanded Tatiana Samoilova. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 15:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

  Additionally, I urge KNewman or someone else to make the Samoilov dab page. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 20:20, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I did it some time ago - Samoylov. Not sure about Samoilov or Samoylov. KNewman 16:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I suppose it does not really matter. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

• Dmitri Popov, footballer, by User:Chanheigeorge. - Darwinek 09:43, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

• Pyotr Melissino, just to kill a red link. Please expand. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
  • By the way, could anyone explain in the article on General the military ranks in the imperial and Soviet army? "General en chief" and "Full General of Artillery" may be quite confusing for a foreign reader. Or perhaps we need a separate article, along the lines of Generał? --Ghirla ^-трёп- 11:50, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Isaak Brodskiy, Kseniya Shestova. --Brand спойт 16:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
  • And Mariya Dolina by yourself. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 16:10, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
    • The reason I decided to not to put her is her Ukrainian ethnicity as stated in the Hero of the Soviet Union certificate. I'm not sure whether her mother is Russian. --Brand спойт 16:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
      • What matters in whether to announce her here is her relevance to the Russian topics which is unquestionable. By I announced her at UA portal as well. --Irpen 18:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
• Primorsk, Leningrad Oblast is expanded a bit. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 13:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
• Andrei Drevin by User:Andrei Romanenko
• Siberian Military District and Far East Military District by User:Buckshot06. This completes all the current Russian military districts.- Darwinek 12:27, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• Arcadiy Severnyj by User:Barsuks, who accompanied the entry with this summary. Please check for notability. If the sources are not reliable, the article may be speedied. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 14:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Singer, having fan sites 26 years after his death is definitely notable Kmorozov 14:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• I requested Battle of Kinburn and now we have two articles on the subject: Battle of Kinburn (1787) and Battle of Kinburn (1855)! --Ghirla ^-трёп- 12:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Khandyga, Ust-Maya and Olyokminsk geo-stubs by me. - Darwinek 11:08, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Battle of Schöngrabern by User:Andrewshobley --Ghirla ^-трёп- 10:31, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Anna Politkovskaya assassination. Needless to say, the authors already detected a culprit and exposed his guilt (in the second passage). --Ghirla ^-трёп- 09:39, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Kizlyar raid by HanzoHattori: "an operation marked by great cruelty toward hostages and other civilians carried out by hungry, freezing, and drunken soldiers with old, malfunctioning equipment". Unsourced. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 09:36, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Battle of Grozny (1994-1995), Battle of Grozny (1996), Guerilla phase of the Second Chechen War, International response to the Second Chechen War, List of Second Chechen War assassinations and several other articles about heroic Chechen "rebels" have never been announced on this page or reviewed by Russian editors. Battle of Grozny (1999-2000) was also rewritten by the notorious User:HanzoHattori. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 09:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Some of these articles need work. --Ineffable3000 20:02, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
• Battle of Rakovor by me. --Ineffable3000 05:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

    • I have added a military conflict infobox to the Battle of Ergeme page. --Ineffable3000 20:02, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

  There really is no need to be bitter, Darwinek. There are good points both for and against keeping these templates. As you yourself said below, we won't know overall community preferences unless someone nominates these templates for deletion.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

  So what do you recommend? - Darwinek 18:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

  I would recommend to not make it personal :) As for the templates, I don't see any harm in having them, nor do I see the red links as problems, as long as those red links are valid.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Narodnaya. Hope to trace the subsequent info. --Brand спойт 17:13, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• {{Cities and towns in Volgograd Oblast}} and {{Cities and towns in Kaluga Oblast}} by me. - Darwinek 09:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • The templates duplicate contents of eponymous categories and as such are subject to deletion. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 14:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
    • So, nominate it for deletion. We'll see what the community has to say on this... - Darwinek 17:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
      • The templates indeed qualify for deletion. I don't know why Ukrainian and some other editors are so enthusiastic about spawning red links. I would never nominate it, though, because I don't care. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 19:17, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Russian Synodal Bible and the Most Holy Synod. I thought the articles already exist :) --Brand спойт 03:46, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
  • The outdated Catholic Encyclopaedia treats the Synod as still existing, which is not good. Actually, a stub has been there since 2004 as Holy Synod, but it was recently hijacked towards Byzantium and Greece. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 07:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
    • The pre-1918 edition, on which the e-version is partially based, corresponds with that times, showing some importance. The point is copyediting. --Brand спойт 16:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

• Template:Polish-Russian Wars by Appleseed. Because it is now being added to multiple articles, make sure you watchlist it because surprises like 1944 Soviet invasion of Poland may be expected to pop up there at some point. --Irpen 22:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • It was already pasted into French invasion of Russia. No surprises here anymore... --Ghirla ^-трёп- 18:07, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

  • The Polish translation about the city of Seversk (what is this?) and "the (sic!) Kievan Rus" is no solution. I moved it to Russo-Lithuanian Wars and replaced "Muscovy" with "Russia" but Piotrus promptly reverted my edits. Please add the article to your watchlists and inform Lithuanian editors about attempts to polonize Russian-Lithuanian history. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Firstly, the article should be renamed: the town was known as Dorostolon at the time. Secondly, the content is not verified: all we know from primary sources is the vague information that Svyatoslav took eighty towns. All the rest is speculation. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 21:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
