Talk:Northwestern Russia

Aknowledge Russia. Novgorod lands

Swept in from the pub

Dear colleagues! I'm happy to present you edit-a-thon competition, that is taking part from November 1 to December 15, 2020 in different language versions of Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. Both of Wiki-projects will have 2 nominations: for articles in Russian, and for articles in other languages with 3 rewardable positions in each. It's organized by Wikimedia Russia and North-West Russia Wiki-Historians UG and its topic will be regions of activity of that UG: Saint Petersburg, the Republic of Karelia, Leningrad Oblast, Pskov Oblast, Novgorod Oblast and Vologda Oblast.

Красный, looks like currently there are only few WV articles there so far... but in any case, it'd be great if some interesting places are covered, to notify us here - we could perhaps xlate it to en:WV (unfortunately I probably cannot help with "real content" for ru:WV, perhaps with some minor technicalities, only)... -- andree.sk(talk) 19:52, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

You also can write articles in en:WV for this competition, if that is what you've tried to ask. We only border the topic of contest, not the language you write in. Красный (talk) 20:02, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

• I can testify that the Veliky Ustyug, Pushkinskiye Gory, Peterhof, Vyborg, Kronstadt and Saint Petersburg World Heritage Site articles, relevant to this context, have received a lot of attention as of the past few months, and could be considered. Petrozavodsk, Kizhi, Staraya Ladoga, Vologda and Novgorod could use some edit-a-thon tweaking as they are very incomplete, while Staraya Russa is a Star article, one of the best of Wikivoyage.

• We also have a big list of "not so needed, but good to have in any WV" articles. And en-WV only has 10 of them. Красный (talk) 23:28, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
