The Russian version of the article has a picture: ru:Изображение:Krepost Oreshek 2.jpg; I would move it to commons (and use it here) but I don't speak Russian, and the necessary author/source and license info is in Russian only. Assistance from a Russian speaker would be very appreciated. JesseW, the juggling janitor 01:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Which Northern War?

A sentence in this article reads:

"It obtained its current name, Shlisselburg, meaning Key-town, after being retaken by the Russian forces in the Northern War. "

Northern war points to a disambig page; there are two possible articles here that this article is referring to:

Northern Wars (1655-1660)
Great Northern War (1700-1721)

Sweden and Russia were involved in both, which one is being referred to?

[edit] Schlüsselburg

I have added "Schlüsselburg" to the introduction, as that name is widely used in English publications as well (see Google Books). Olessi 17:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Schlüsselburg is not merely the German name, but a name widely used in English texts. Based on Google Books results, "Schlüsselburg" has been used more often than "Shlisselburg" in English historiography. While I am not advocating moving the title to "Schlüsselburg", that name should certainly be mentioned in the introduction, as it is used as much as (if not more than) "Shlisselburg" in English. I also am curious about how my copyediting rendered the article "unstable". Olessi 20:04, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shlisselburg Fortress

It would be nice to have a separate article on the fortress, it's quite notable.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 19:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
