Ambassador of India to Russia
I was going to contact you, but you beat me to it. The embassy articles are primarily on the building, added in with notable information on the functions of the mission throughout its history. The lists of ambassadors, such as Ambassador of India to Russia, are meant as stand alone as part of the series on bilateral relations between two countries. Russia and the Soviet Union having close ties to India since its independence means that postings of Indian ambassadors to Russia and the USSR was a highly regarded posting within the Indian civil service, and there would be notable information on the position of Ambassador of India to Russia which can be included as part of the list. At the moment the lists are basic, but if you look at User:Russavia/RusAmb (a work still being worked on by myself at the moment), with proper formatting and additional information added to the lists, and with prose added to the list, they can be quite good stand alone lists, and wouldn't be surprised if they could some day reach featured list status. Of course, we don't have a deadline in place on WP, so whenever people can get these done is fine. If you want to collaborate on developing the standalone ambassador list, I would be open to that. --Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 05:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
