February 16-28, 2006

• Altynai Asylmuratova by User:Growsonwalls --Ghirla ^-трёп- 17:45, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• On a related note, Jarilo was massively expanded by User:Hier0phant. May be even eligible for DYK. He has put an enormous amount of work into Slavic mythology as well. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 16:34, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

• Ivan Alekseyevich Kornilov by User:Ahasuerus. You can never have too many Kornilovs... Ahasuerus 20:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
• Alexander Aleksandrovich Kornilov by User:Ahasuerus. The juxtaposition of the anglicized spelling of his first name and the phonetic spelling of the patronymic is admittedly unfortunate, but I can't think of a better way to handle it. He has been known as "Alexander" since the time his standard textbook was first translated in 1917 and the patronymic is needed to distinguish him from the other two "Alexander Kornilovs". Ahasuerus 18:16, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Moved to Alexander Alexandrovich Kornilov, which is acceptable per WP:RUS.—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 19:04, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Works for me :) I have also added more Kornilovs to Kornilov to be fleshed out at some point. Ahasuerus 19:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Therefore I suggest you to expand it quickly. Specifically, I would ask to not concentrate on political problems. Let them be in individual "post-Soviet" articles, in order not to waste time on polilical wrangles. Instead, please put an effort (a) to describe a cultural identity of a Russophone, you know, Pushkin and other cliches, (b) draw distinction from the term "Russian". mikka (t) 08:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

• Someone started Category:Russian Orthodox monasteries, a cat which currently duplicates Category:Monasteries in Russia. One of these cats should be deleted in order to eliminate confusion. --Ghirla | talk 10:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Strictly speaking the categories are not identical: a Russian Orthodox Monastery in Jerusalim or in Australia is not covered by the Category:Monasteries in Russia and an occasional Buddist or a Roman-Catholic monastery in Russia (if there exist any) would not be covered by the Category:Russian Orthodox monasteries. I still think that maintaining of two almost identical cathegories would be a mistake (as on a hindsight I think was Category:Russian people in the United States and Category:Russian-Americans). Which one should go? Or maybe we can have Category:Monastery of Russia that would cover both ROC monasteries abroad and non-Orthodox monastery in Russia? abakharev 11:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Most monastery articles were contributed by me or KNewman and put into Category:Monasteries in Russia, which I believe should stay. The mess was introduced by User:Ronline, who, in one of his rare mainspace edits, added these monasteries to Category:Orthodox monasteries. When the latter cat became overpopulated, they split the Russian monasteries into Category:Russian Orthodox monasteries. So we have two identical cats now. Ronline's absent-minded edits should be reversed, that's all. --Ghirla | talk 12:18, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
      • I see, maybe just make the Category:Monasteries in Russia a subcat of Category:Orthodox monasteries. I am not aware of any notable non-Orthodox monasteries in Russia abakharev 13:22, 14 February
