Khazars
I have worked on this article extensively for some time (with many other contributors) and I think it's a great, detailed article. But it could use some help with formatting, style, etc. I'd like to get it into FAC shape if possible. --Briangotts 20:31, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks good, but there are still some problems. Am I colour blind or does Image:Khazar2.jpg actually show the Khazars in orange and the Kimat Khanates in light brown? Most of the images also have no copyright tags and Image:Khazar coin.jpg makes a pretty dubious fair use claim. I also don't think much of Template:History of Russia. It seems to imply that the Khazars were the era of Russian history between the Early East Slavs and the Kievan Rus', which is deeply incorrect. This is a problem with a number of other history series templates, but one we are working to move away from. - SimonP 22:00, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input! Your comment about the Template:History of Russia makes sense but I was not the one who added the Khazars there, or the template to the page. With regards to the map, the Kimak are shown in dark yellow and the Khazars in light brown. The two colors seem pretty different to me, but if it's a problem I can adjust them. I will check the copyright tags issue; when I uploaded mosto f the pictures I wasn't aware of them and forgot to go back and add them. As far as the Image:Khazar coin.jpg, I checked with a copyright attorney in my firm and he agreed that the use of one image from a website for a non-commercial academic purpose (which he claimed Wikipedia qualified as) fell under fair use. I personally am not an expert in that field and would appreciate more input. --Briangotts 12:37, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe the problem of the copyright tags has been corrected. --Briangotts 00:43, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
