Russia
Sorry, colleague. A have to revert your massive changes to Russia article. This article is a product of long effort and your arbitrary and sometimes wrong moves of text and deletions are inadmissible. Please discuss your ideas with other Russian topic editors as indicated abvove.

I also have to remark that massive cut and paste from other iternet sites are also inadmissible. It is copyright violation.

You have done some other strange things I will not discuss for now.

Please start from simpler work and learn how wikipedia works. `'mikka (t) 23:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Seconded
I second Mikka's opinion. Please discuss vital changes before implementing them. There should be no instructions creep in WP. The article about the largest country in the world cannot be measured by the same standards as your average Pockemon article. Just look at the Britannica, how varied is the size of its articles. Or check the length of USSR article in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. -- Ghirla -трёп-  11:04, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Let's continue our discussion on Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board, OK? Other people may want to chime in. -- Ghirla -трёп-  11:17, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Are you in a hurry? Let's see what other wikipedians think. -- Ghirla -трёп-  11:17, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Response to your comment on my talk page
"Peasants" are a part of Russia's history; there is nothing wrong with that. The picture is more than appropriate in the history section&mdash;Russia was primarily an agricultural country; "a country of peasants" if you wish. Besides, removing the image would do almost nothing to reduce its size.

While I do agree that the article could be shortened, perhaps considerably, I absolutely do not condone the way you did it. Cutting pieces out and shoveling them to loosely-related locations is not the way to go. Trimming such a high-profile article requires a well-thought plan, and obtaining a second opinion from other interested parties before making edits wouldn't have hurt either. What's the rush, anyway?&mdash;Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:42, 4 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Just because things can change very rapidly doesn't always mean one should be changing them as fast as one can. If you rapidly improve something, no one will be against it.  What you did, however, can hardly be classified as an improvement, although I am sure you had best intentions at heart.  Please listen to what others have to say; all of the points raised on your talk page are very valid.&mdash;Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
