[edit] Agree this is DYK material
Great article. Surprised we did not have it earlier. Also something I forgot to mention in my last edit notes, I changed the links to the lastochka restaurant to direct towards the English version so that more people can access it. And how about that Italian restaurant? Italian cuisine in Crimea? Russian, Tatar or Turkish would be most appropriate for the location, especially Russian because of the general. Of course, there is the Roman connection from the AD 1st century so Italian is not completely random.--Riurik (discuss) 06:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Roman fortress?
I was not aware that Romans built any fortresses in Crimea. Can we source the claim? --Ghirla -трёп- 10:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, Charax really was the second strongest Roman fortres in Crimea (after Chersonessos). And it was relly built directly by Roman forces. Sources... Hm... There are many usefull books on the topic, but the best one is Don Alessandro 14:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- You are welcome to check my new article Charax, Crimea and make necessary corrections. --Ghirla -трёп- 09:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Used in the 1930s?
How can the building have been used by a reading club in the 1930s, when the next paragraph says that at least three years before that, the building was affected by an earthquake and was "remained closed [to the public] for more than forty years?" The cited source for the "reading club" claim is in Russian which I cannot read. Kavadi carrier 07:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I changed it to say "in the 1920s" which seems more plausible. Kavadi carrier 07:40, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
