Talk:Northwestern Russia

Aknowledge Russia. Novgorod lands
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)
