[edit] Task force of Central Asia?
Wouldn't this group make more sense as a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia? John Carter (talk) 19:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- It could actually belong to both. Tuva has many historical ties with the rest of Central Asia more so than with Russia and several Tuvans I know consider Tuva as part of Central Asia. (The "Center of Asia" monument after all stands in Kyzyl.) Russian association only began during the 1700s and wasn't complete until a few hundred years later. I'm not necessarily a big fan of categorizing things based upon modern geography so I don't see this as a "one or the other" question. --Stacey Doljack Borsody (talk) 20:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- My reasoning for proposing as a part of Russia is that, well, that project is right now the clearer "parent", as it is part of that country. A joint task force of the two would also be potentially an acceptable idea, but, just as a personal preference, I would personally think it might be preferable to try to use the Russia banner for this group, as at this point anything related to Tuva would qualify, given that area's current political association, as within the scope of WikiProject Russia and its related projects, while there might, potentially, be questions about how relevant some of those articles might be to Central Asia. Also, it might, in a few cases, help reduce banner clutter. John Carter (talk) 00:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- It seems like it can go any way. Check out Category:Tuva. The major articles are tagged with both project banners. Some are tagged only by WPCA and some by WPRussia. Some by neither. *shrug* Being a member of WPCA and not WPRussia, it was natural to me to start it at WPCA, but I'm not adverse to doing this under WPRussia. WPCA had been tagging Tuva-related articles because they tend to use the larger UNESCO definition of "Central Asia" which includes Tuva and other "Central Asian portions of Russia". See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Central_Asia/Archive_1#geographic_scope. Others should weigh in on this proposal. --Stacey Doljack Borsody (talk) 03:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Task force articles
FYI: All the Tuva-related articles I could find are grouped now under Category:Tuva task force. --Stacey Doljack Borsody (talk) 18:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tes Khem
Hi, we were wondering whether Tes Khem is the Russian or the Tuvan name (or both) for Tesiin Gol. Are you guys able to sort this out?
