[edit] Seventh-Day Adventist church

The first adventists in Russia were Germans. I read that the subbotniks helped them (mission). Is that right?

[edit] "Russian rationalistic bodies"

In what sense are the Subbotniks rationalistic? They are religious believers who accept the Old Testament and various aspects of Jewish law and ritual. Rationalism is normally associated with religious sceptism or at least a rarified, deistic view of religion. Perhaps the associations of the word are different in Russian.

In any case, someone should either provide context for this usage or delete it. The hyperlink to the Rationalism article should certainly go, since its definitions of rationalism have no connection with anything that could characterise the Subbotniks.66.183.165.57 15:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

They are rationalistic with regards to their reading of the Torah which means they follow more closely the Karaites.82.6.24.231 14:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Subbotniks.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.
