Ossetian mosaic
I prefer to create a mosaic for article Ossetians. nearly all nation-related articles have such mosaic (see Georgians, Germans, Russians...)

this is my version of the structure of the mosaic... matrix 4x2. lets choose figures that are famous and important for Ossetians.


 * David Soslan, a historic figure and military leader (he lived in Alans era, and he was Georgian commander)
 * Kosta Khetagurov
 * Tokati a famous scientist
 * Abaev
 * Gergiev, a famous musician
 * Khubulov, as folk hero and famous commander
 * Kokoity, a fomous politician
 * Dzagoev, a famous sportsman

I advise to you: choose persons from different fields (politics, sports ....)--Bouron (talk) 15:18, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * We do not have images for David Soslan and Khubulov. What do you think about Ossetians presented in the gallery (the 3rd line)? Taamu (talk) 12:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * we have no problem with image for khubulov. we need at least one famous historic figure,so we should try to find image with david soslan.
 * as for gallery...there are 4 persons worth to be included to the list. gazdanov is literature figure, but we have khetagurov. so do dudarova and two sportsmen. at least we can expand the matrix from 4x2 to 4x3 and include 3 more images, for example one soviet hero and two from the gallery.
 * if you support my idea i ask you to help me with finding proper images for the mosaic.--Bouron (talk) 13:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You mean you want me to find it in Wikimedia Commons? Taamu (talk) 16:39, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * no. everywhere. i found image for david soslan --Bouron (talk) 16:55, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * But there should be permission to upload files to Wikipedia (the athour of this file should give you a permission). Do you think you can receive it? Taamu (talk) 18:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * it turned out that image is from shota rustaveli витязь в тигровой шкуре. sorry. so what about expanding the mosaic to 4x3?--Bouron (talk) 20:29, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 4x3 will be OK. I propose not to include politicians in the mosaic. Taamu (talk) 07:32, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * no problem. kokoity might will reflect on neutrality. khubulov was politician too. what do you think about his appearance in the mosaic?
 * the mosaic needs at least one representative of one of military, political or modern day ossetians.
 * now we need 6-8 more figures.

we can include one olimpic champion, one soviet hero, one famous singer. we also have kuchiev...
 * i think we have 3 to famous sportsmen representative: Dzagoev, Karaev and Gazzaev. what about them?--Bouron (talk) 13:51, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * If you want to know my oppinion I wouldn't add the politicians... Let's add writers, sportsmen, musicians (Tugan Sokhiev etc.), soviet heros (Issa Pliyev), public figures. Don't forget to add women (Veronika Dudarova as example). Taamu (talk) 07:26, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I had problems with licensing of some images. Taamu do you support this version. --Bouron (talk) 22:35, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's great. Let's add 2 more images (2x3)? Taamu (talk) 06:21, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * 2x3 will be fine. but i didnt found proper images. the images of pliev, dudarova, gazdanov, gazzaev are not free. now i add this mosaic for first time. but the work over the mosaic is not finished. i will try to find free images to paste them. --Bouron (talk) 09:45, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
