Unlabled Question

Who were the other prominent students at the university?

The tourism website has lots of creepy 'mail order bride' advertisements all over it.

[edit] Violations of Wikipedia naming conventions

The names of towns in this article violate Wikipedia:Naming_conventions, specifically Yar Çallı, Älmät, Bögelmä and Çístay.

[edit] There are not any city in tatarstan with commonly English name..

This is incorrect. See http://www.tatar.ru/english/ for a list of official Tatar city names in English. The rest of the discussion is at Talk:Tatarstan Gene s 07:00, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

(exclude Kazan). So Tatar naming is also useful in English. Russian naming is not origin - it is only transliteration of transliteration from Tatar to Russian.

I have tidied up the text somewhat including some of the seeming POV statemsnts - but do not know about the names.

This image is obviously heavily doctored, so I've removed it. There are plenty of far better images on commons, but in any case the page probably has enough photos. Palefire 14:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
