Novosibirsk
Hmm, whatever's happening to WP:AGF these days, it's not looking good. Anyway, back to Novosibirsk. First of all, there is no such thing as the "capital of Siberia". Novosibirsk is the administrative center of Novosibirsk Oblast, as well as of Siberian Federal District, which, of course, should be mentioned. I may be nitpicking, but "Siberia" and "Siberian Federal District" are not the same thing, just as "Russian Far East" and "Far Eastern Federal District" are not the same thing. They match territorially, but the former is a geographic definition, while the latter is purely administrative. Second, "the largest in all of Siberia" is just a poor choice of words (I'm itching to say that you blatantly misuse your power over English words, but I'm afraid you might take it a bit too personally, considering your comment above ;)). Third, if you get a minute to read the Siberia article, you'll see that by different definitions Siberia may or may not include the Russian Far East.  If you don't choose the all-inclusive definition, you should probably mention that Novosibirsk is the largest city in both Siberia and RFE, or, better yet, say it's the largest one to the east of the Urals or in the Asian part of the country.  When you say "in all of Siberia", you leave readers at a loss, since they would have to guess what exactly you mean by "all of Siberia".  Hopefully this is sufficient explanation for you.  Please correct the sentence you added while I was writing all this.  And, once again, please DO read WP:AGF; I mean no offense, but you seem to need it.&mdash;Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
