The Russian Misplaced Pages (Template:Lang-ru) is the Russian language edition of Misplaced Pages. It was founded on May 20, 2001. Its 10,000th article was created on December 30, 2004, and it is currently one of the largest and fastest growing Wikipedias. On May 19, 2008, it became the 10th largest Misplaced Pages by size and on February 25, 2010, it passed the 500,000 articles threshold. As of August 2009, yearly traffic was growing at a rate of 117%, nearly twice that of the second fastest growing, Korean Misplaced Pages.

On November 29, 2006, it was awarded the Russian state "Runet Prize" (Премия Рунета) in the science and education category.

Policies

Rules in Russian Misplaced Pages are not regarded as flexible in disputes as they are on the English project. Difficult issues are resolved through an arbitration committee which handles content disputes, blocks users or prohibit certain users from editing articles on certain topics. Misuse of administrator privileges is typically appealed through the arbitration committee because only this authority has the power to remove administrator flags.

The Russian Misplaced Pages accepts fair use content and is generally quite liberal on what content is allowed. One thing which serves as an exception is categorization or listing of people based on their ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. Such categories are generally prohibited unless the category is relevant to the main activity of a person. For example, the category "Jewish mathematicians" is not permitted as there is no such thing as "Jewish mathematics", but "Jewish musicians" is permitted for only those who have contributed to Jewish music (disregarding the ethnicity of the musician). Generic ethnic categories such as "Russians" or "Ukrainians" are not used.

The Russian Misplaced Pages has used automated scripts to create articles.

Administrators are elected through a vote; a minimal quorum of 30 voters and 66% of support votes are required if the request is to be considered successful. Administrators who have been inactive (have used any administrative tools such as the "delete" or "block" buttons less than 25 times) for six months lose their privileges by an Arbitration Committee determination.

The arbitration committee has on several occasions blocked users for behavior outside Misplaced Pages, for example, for critical blog comments about other Misplaced Pages users. In addition, an administator of the Russian Misplaced Pages was desysoped for being a domestic partner of vandal and for splashing one of the administrators with a glass of water at one of the Wikimeetings. Such blocks have proven to be quite controversial, and as a result, a major discussion to establish whether a user can be blocked for external behavior took place in February 2010.

History

The Russian Misplaced Pages was created on May 20, 2001 in the first wave of non-English Wikipedias, along with editions in Catalan, Chinese, Dutch, German, Esperanto, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.

The first edit of the Russian Misplaced Pages was on May 24, 2001, and consisted of the line "Russia is a great nation". The following edit changed it to the joke: "Russia is the land where elephants (the big-eared, all-terrain capable type, see Mammoth) originated."

For a long time development was slow (especially since some left for WikiZnanie), but in a year from February 2005 to February 2006 it surpassed nine editions in other languages, i.e. Catalan, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Hebrew, Finnish, Norwegian, Chinese, Esperanto and Danish Wikipedias.

In 2006 and 2007, the Russian Misplaced Pages won the "Science and education" category of the "Runet Prize" (Russian: Премия Рунета) award, supervised by the Russian government agency FAPMC.
