Alexander Ivanovich Ostermann-Tolstoy by User:QEDquid abakharev 01:11, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- So what's the point to duplicating the data contained in Tolstoy? --Ghirlandajo 08:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, you would not recommend to merge Leo Tolstoy to Tolstoy, would you? Nor I think removing the duplicating data of Tolstoy from the Leo Tolstoy. I think Alexander Ivanovitch desrves a separate article as well as a spot in the history of his family. In fact what is bothering me after comparing the articles is that half of the data on Alexander Ivanovitch from the section of Tolstoy is not in the Alexander Ivanovich Ostermann-Tolstoy. I think we need to fix it. abakharev 09:06, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Russian topic per se - Battle of Muhi by User:Khakhan | contribs, who in the broad daylight cut a section out of Batu Khan 3 weeks ago and stashed away, no attribution, not even a link back to Batu Khan, nor categories, etc. Surely I could wikify/categorize it, no brainer, and I wanted to do just that...but then I thought, maybe it's best to AfD it and merge back into Batu Khan? Sorry about my lengthy rant, an advice much appreciated - Introvert ^talk 00:53, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I would think that it is OK to have a separate article on the Battle, as the article on the Batu grow and the battle was not fought by the Batu but by his generals. Of course the article on the Battle should have cats, references to Batu, links etc. Maybe we should discuss the proposals on the Batu Khan talk page? abakharev 03:23, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Firstly, the battle was fought by Subedei rather than Batu. Secondly, we have already a separate and well established article on Battle of Legnica. Thirdly, there are Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/New articles and Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle Ages/New Articles for such announcements. --Ghirlandajo 08:43, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  - It's no problem. Then, if not architects and not the theatre, what else not for new articles? Perhaps, I want to do some writers, do you have specific objections? Vald 16:26, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - I have written Konstantin Thon, Bartolomeo Rastrelli, Antonio Rinaldi, Aleksey Shchusev and have plans for Vasily Bazhenov, Matvey Kazakov, Giacomo Quarenghi, Carlo Rossi, Fyodor Shekhtel, and Pyotr Baranovsky. All the rest is yours :)) --Ghirlandajo 18:23, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Elektrichka stub by User:WauloK. Should we delete it? abakharev 06:34, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- IMHO. We have know English words sputnik, glasnost, perestroika, even plastun, why not elektrishka. Also, because of song Elektrichka vezet menya na vostok Elektrichka song, Opyat ot menya ubeghala poslednya Elektrichka. Here examples were foreigners using this word: Elektrichka: Ever Take an Elektrichka? As Moscow's Elektrichka Goes, So Goes Russia ByWilliam Brumfield http://www.bellybuttonwindow.com/archives/000078.html Ahh, the elektrichka! What true denizen of Moscow has not savored its many and peculiar pleasures? Whatever one may think of it, the elektrichka is essential to Russian life as any service, institution, or commodity available today. Indeed, the resilience and shortcomings of this system serve remarkably well as a reflection of the general health of post-Soviet Russia. Officially known as the elektropoyezd, the Moscow suburban electric train system each day carries over 3 million passengers. Vald 09:13, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Yahoo Search Results: 8,150 for Elektrichka Vald 09:23, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - I bet bulochnaya will yield some results in Google, as well. Let's dump all the funny-sounding Russian words into Wikipedia. I'd delete electrichka and especially electrichka song. KNewman 12:03, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - KNewman, my friend. Why you think that electrichka song is less worth for Russian culture than Kalinka and Katyusha? Please, do not delete nothing before reasonable explanation!!! Vald 12:50, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - The article on electrichka song mostly consists of the text of the Kino's song in transliterated Russian. I have feeling that it is:
        a copyvio of Konstantin Tsoy's (or his widow) rights and
        
        it is not helpful for the non-Russian speaking wikipedian readers.
bulochnaya Russian bread is excellent and inexpensive. There are two types of bakeries: Bulochnaya or "Breadery", of which there are about 700, almost one on every block, and more than 140 Konditerskaya . A Bulochnaya generally has fresh bread, rolls, and occasionally cakes and pastries. A Konditerskaya on the other hand, is more like the German "Kondierei" with pastries, cakes, cookies, candy and often coffee, cognac and in some even ice cream, but no bread. A few of the better Bulochnaya are listed below. Types of Bread = Khleb

Baton = oval white loaf Belyy Kirpich = white brick loaf Chernyy Kirpich = dark brick loaf Belyy Kruglyy = round white loaf Chernyy Kruglyy = round dark loaf Tort = fancy, sweet cake Bulochki = tasty sweet rolls see: http://www.infoservices.com/stpete/70.htm Vald 13:21, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- I was only joking about bulochnaya... Let's see what others have to say about "он уехал прочь на ночной электричке". KNewman 14:57, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - As for the Electrichka song, it was about a different song than I first had in mind when I saw an anouncement. How about good ol': "Опять от меня убежала, последняя электричка, и я по шпалам бегу домой по привычке". So many great memories :). --Irpen
