[edit] Золотая цепь на горе Судоме
Any plans for doing the Sudom uplands (Sudom highlands?) article? ;0) I wanted to do an article about the golden chain, which is a folk tail that is not often heard even in Russia. However, although the article will be relatively small, no one will have a clue about the Sudom uplands other then that its in the Pskov oblast. I only know about it from my GPW readings. Just don't have the time to do the entire uplands article which I imagine would be quite significant an effort. Cheers--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 22:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, no such plans. In general, I limit my editing activities to populated places (which is quite a handful as it is). If you occasionally catch me editing an article about some other geographical feature, this is either because I needed that article for disambiguation purposes or it was in such horrible condition I just couldn't ignore it :) Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:40, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Lubutsk?
Hi there. In mood for some digging? I would like to find this place on a map... In Lithuanian it is Liubutskas, it is supposed to be near Oka River, north west from Tula. Algirdas attacked it, and in 1372 signed a peace treaty there. I think this is about the same place. What's the proper Russian name (transliterated)? Renata (talk) 04:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- I believe Bogomolov.PL answered it for you. See user talk:Renata3#Любуцк. Renata (talk) 10:38, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yup, that's the one. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Time zones
Templates: please be so kind to add a Timezone params (like ones in Infobox Settlement) to Infobox Russian city and your other templates, where applicable. I could do it myself but some of the templates are protected. Slicer_Mirkwood
- All Russian cities/towns are located in the timezones of their federal subjects. Thus, it makes no sense to add a timezone parameter to the city template as all it would do is to increase maintenance and error rate.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- All right, then - for cities. But there is no time zone specified for Republic of Bashkortostan (the Federal Subject for Ufa), either. So is it for "Volga Federal District" (in the latter case I am not even sure it lies entirely in a single time zone). And, in any case, if you prefer not to put timezone info in a city description, it would be useful to add a note to an infobox, like: "Timezone: see Federal Subject".- Slicer Mirkwood (talk) 14:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- But it is specified for Bashkortostan, just not in the infobox—see Bashkortostan#Time zone. Every Russian federal subject, save Sakha Republic and Sakhalin Oblast, lies in a single time zone. As for the note, I think that's redundant as well, but you are, of course, welcome to seek broader input. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for answering all the questions about Russian
I wanted to thank you for answering all the questions I had about Russian pronunciation and transliteration. Out of all the people who answered, your answers were the most helpful, and I really appreciate all that time you took to read carefully through the sometimes-complex questions and answer in such detail. I'm also grateful for the patience and courtesy with which you answered my sometimes nitpicky points. Thanks, and happy editing! —Lowellian (reply) 01:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, isn't that what the Reference Desk is supposed to be for? :) You are very welcome, and please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you have any similar questions in future. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:58, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Kharkiv
Please semi-protect the article, and also carry out disciplinary action against the anon who has been attacking it and many others for the past month at least. (He was warned for the upteenth time) and have a look at the Personal attacks he carries across. --Kuban Cossack 13:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sigh... Protected for one week.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 13:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Are you not going to take care of the disruptive IP? --Kuban Cossack 14:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Assuming that you mean blocking, if I do that, it would make it hard for him/her to carry out the discussion on the talk page as suggested, thus rendering the whole protection meaningless.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- The page has already been protected, the user has stated clearly he has no intention to discussion. Each such visit of his to wikipedia is followed by an attack of disrupting the status quo on the langauges in the lead. no other contribution. Have a look at the history of Lugansk, Donetsk, Odessa etc. A pattern emerges.--Kuban Cossack 14:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- The IPs do not seem to match, but I posted a reminder on the talk page of the most recent IP nevertheless. Hopefully that'll be the same IP s/he use when logging in next time. Pattern or no pattern, our first assumption should be that that person is simply not aware of the rules.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SIA
Thanks - I was just looking at it. I'll drop my thoughts in now. (Emperor (talk) 13:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC))
[edit] Why to destroi finnish name
Why do you destroi finnish name from artickle Säsjoki? Finlands the biggest map company has Karelian map (Karjala Car Map 2006) has name Säsjoki locating like name of that city. Look article of finnish wikipedian...and references also. Mikko Paananen is campaining anti-finnish name policy in Finnish wikipedian and thats why she remove finnish name from articles. Please, dont support that policy. --85.156.243.93 (talk) 04:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- The choice of a title to use in the Finnish Wikipedia is that Wikipedia's internal matter. If you feel that name is incorrect, you need to work with the Finnish Wikipedia's community on this. This has nothing to do with the English Wikipedia.
- What does have to do with the English Wikipedia is the fact that all our articles should have correct interwiki links. You changing the Finnish interwiki in Syasstroy from fi:Sjasstroi to fi:Säsjoki changes the target from the article about the place to the article about the river, and will also utterly confuse the interwiki-bots, which may end up screwing up more interwiki links on many Wikipedias. That mess will have to be straightened out by someone, and I don't believe that someone is going to be you.
- I will unprotect the article for now, as it is obvious that your changes were in good faith, but please note that any further attempt to change the interwiki links to something else than the place in question will be dealt with as vandalism and may lead to you being blocked (not necessarily by me). Please take this dispute to where it belongs—the Finnish Wikipedia. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 13:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
