Privet. You are receiving this message as you were listed on the membership list of WP:RUSSIA at Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia/Members. Recent times has seen minimal activity within WikiProject Russia, and there is an attempt to re-invigorate the project and have it become more organised into a fully-fledge functioning project, with the aim of increasing the quality of Russia-related articles across English wikipedia.

As we don't know which listed members are active within the project and Russia-related article, all listed members are receiving this message, and are requested to re-affirm their active status on Russia-related article by re-adding their username to Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia/Members by adding:

# {{User|YOURUSERNAME}}

to the membership list. You may also like to place {{User Russian Project}} on your userpage, as this will also place you in Category:WikiProject Russia members.

There is also an active proposal on the creation of a single WP:RUSSIA project. The proposal can be viewed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Russia#Proposal_for_overhaul_and_creation_of_a_single_WP:RUSSIA_project, and your comments and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia/Proposal.

We all look forward to your continued support of WP:RUSSIA and any comments you may have on the proposal. --Russavia ^{Dialogue Stalk me} 04:43, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I couldn't help but notice, upon seeing your battleship userbox (here), that the grammar may not reflect what the intent is. What I think the intent is:

Battleships rule the waves, and aircraft carriers do not.

What is actually said is

Battleships rule the waves, and don't rule over aircraft carriers.

So, if the former is your intent, I would recommend rewording to this

This user knows that Battleships—not the bloody bird farms—rule the waves!

to avoid any ambiguity in your message. — Bellhalla (talk) 11:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:A-67 Dragon.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 02:34, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

The issue here is that they're neighborhoods of a municipality; standard practice with county templates is to include only municipalities and unincorporated communities. I'm not trying to make a statement that they're too small to be included. Nyttend (talk) 22:58, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Can I ask that you use the latest aircraft specification template Template:Aircraft specs when creating new articles please. MilborneOne (talk) 08:06, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Can I ask that you don't? ;)

With respect to MilborneOne, the new template is IMHO ill-considered, and invites articles to be crammed with specifications far in excess of what's of encyclopedic value. One of the specific design goals of the {{aerospecs}} template was to keep information focused and concise.

You are, of course, completely free to use whichever template you feel most comfortable with, but I wanted to make you aware that there are issues here :) --Rlandmann (talk) 12:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Whats reliable about Global security? Global security dosent even include the Russian airforces Bomber aircraft, helicopters or even attack helicopters. warfare.ru on the otherhand included helicopters, attack helicopters and bomber aircraft.

Also global security gives a figure of 2,588 aircraft in the Russian airforce, not the 1,715 figure that you reverted it too!

Please explain to me why you would use a source that dosent even include the Russian airforces Bomber aircraft, attack helicopters and helicopters? Please explain, becuase that dosent look reliable to me. Rademire2 (talk) 17:37, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Global security is not reliable. Look these are the figures it gives they add up to 2,588. Not the 1,715 that you say.

"Fighters - 822 Ground attack - 600 Airborne Early Warning and Control - 16 Reconnaissance - 170 ECM - 0 Traning - 980

Total - 2,588"

Now do you see any thing wrong with these figures? becuase I do!! Global Security dosent include Transport aircraft, trankers and supply aircraft, attack helicopters, Bomber aircraft, transport and resuce helicopters!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what happend? Russia suddenyl dosent have any bombers, transports and helicopters?

warfare.ru includeds ALL the types of aircraft from the russian airforce and updates their numbers every 6 months. GS only updates their numbers every 1 or 2 years Rademire2 (talk) 17:55, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi there Bushranger. I've counted over the main list on the project page again, and there seems to be 11 red-links (counting Tosa, which is in ed17's sandbox). They are:

• List of battlecruisers of Japan
• Japanese battleship Tosa (redirect)
• Russian battleship Sevastopol (1895) (redirect)
• Italian battleship Regina Elena
• Italian battleship Vittorio Emanuele
• Italian battleship Roma (1907)
• Italian battleship Napoli
• SMS Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand
• Reshadieh class battleship
• Greek battleship Basileus Konstantinos
• Almirante Latorre class battleship

You might be counting List of battleships of Greece, which was just redirected to a section of List of decommissioned ships of the Hellenic Navy. It might be possible to unredirect it and turn it into somthing like List of battlecruisers of Germany, but it might still be redirected as a content fork. Am I missing somthing? Buggie111 (talk) 13:56, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Ah. I was in fact counting that Greek list as being 'needed', while I wasn't counting Tosa and Sevastopol - since they redirect - instead counting the two Turkish ships that were redirected to the class page last night. :) - The Bushranger (talk) 17:44, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi guys, hope you don't mind me butting in :) I was thinking that it might be wise to create these pages in a sandbox somewhere until there's enough content for it to qualify for DYK, since creating a new article large enough to make the cut is often quite easier than trying to get the 5x expansion for an older one. We are rather short on non-German BB articles for the DYK list at Portal:Battleship. Just a thought :) Parsecboy (talk) 02:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm doing that with Sevastopol and Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand. The latter might be needing a redirect and blank. BEsides that, it's pretty tough to find sources for those, so I'll try my best. Buggie111 (talk) 03:02, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

No worries on butting in. And that sounds like a reasonable plan. The Austrian BBs have always fascinated me, as an aside... - The Bushranger (talk) 05:46, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

With Erzherzgo's hook done, can you re-review the DYK? (It's a GA now) Buggie111 (talk) 03:00, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Next time you want a page that you've created deleted, you can explicitly request the deletion by inserting the text {{db-author}}. If you didn't want the page deleted, please remove the {{db-author}} tag from the page and undo your blanking or put some content in the page. Admins are able to recover deleted pages.

To you, and to me, it's perfectly clear as it is, I agree completely. However, to a younger student using Wikipedia either as part of their studies or independently to learn, it might be something they find not quite as clear, and the footnote helps with that by explaning exactly how the process works. - The Bushranger (talk) 15:28, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough. There is a dumbed down version of Wikipedia for students; and there is so much nonsense and claptrap in this version that needs culling it would be the labors of Sisyphus to try to make a dent. Further, I oppose on principle virtually all intratext notation (especially of the <- sort, where people introduce what belongs on the Discussion page), which is where I believe the content in question belongs. Perhaps you'd be willing to relocate it there with a suitable reference. But your response to me is even-handed enough that I am done challenging the matter. Yours.
