Yasnaya Polyana

Actually, I disagree. The vague "number of other rural settlements" was in fact added by me. I am currently working on cross-linking/disambiguating the names of Russian districts, cities/towns, and urban-type settlements, so they explicitly link to where they should be located, even if an article does not exist yet. Eventually, I am planning to do the same for all Russian rural settlements (considering that each and every U.S. town, no matter how minor, has an article, I don't see why that shouldn't be done for Russian villages as well). This vague statement is a flag for me to look this name up in case I need to return to this article (usually when a settlement with of the same name is promoted/demoted); if it bothers you, I can certainly expand it to say what those rural settlements actually are :)

What's more, "Yasnaya Polyana" has other meanings not currently mentioned on the dab page. It is used as a trademark, as a name of entities other than settlements, etc, etc. There is a potential to expand the disambiguation page beyond the three entries currently there.

Please let me know if this answer satisfies you, or if you have any further comments/suggestions. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll expand the "rural settlements" entry per your request. If I may ask, what's so important about the one in Kaliningrad Oblast that it needs not to be lost among other ones? It's just another rural settlement among thousands others, and it is not even the largest of all the settlements by that name. It's the only one that currently has an article about it, but I suspect that's only because it used to be a town in East Prussia, so it gets more attention from the West. Anyway, I'm just curious.

Yup, that's what I figured. Anyway, the dab page now sports the list of the largest and/or most important rural settlements by that name. There are many more, but I don't have means to verify those at this time. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:44, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology

Since you are interested in flags and emblems I would like to inform you that the WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology has just been created. Why not take a look? I hope you can join. Inge 20:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Orange Sky (song)

Don't worry about it. It was clearly a well-intended edit. --דניאל ~ Danielrocks123 01:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Bilingual titles

Hi, you just wrote on Talk:Soča - Isonzo River about naming conventions as an argument to move to a single name, as I proposed. Can you tell me where to find that specific naming convention? It would help me a lot in move discussions, like Talk:Bozen-Bolzano. Thanks. Markussep 05:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. Do you know if there's a general rule against bilingual titles, for places, people etc.? Markussep 13:00, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Turnianska Nová Ves

Please don't move pages like Turnianska Nova Ves without fixing the indexing sort keys. Go fix it, or I'll have to move it back again. Gene Nygaard 05:37, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
