Talk:Elektrostal

Spelling Error in the Russian

In the main text of the article, the Russian (Cyrillic) looks pretty good to me. There's an extra space in the word, but otherwise, it's ok. However, at the top of the box on the right side of the article, the Russian appears with an incorrect added letter T. (Viewed with Firefox 3.6.8 on a Mac. When I copy the text and paste it into TextEdit, the letter T disappears but the previous vowel gets a stress mark.) I'm not skilled enough at Russian or Wikipedia-editing or browser details to fix this. Would someone else please fix this? Oaklandguy (talk) 06:01, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Both the extra space and the letter T signify a problem with the fonts on your computer. With proper font support, both places should show an accent mark. You might want to investigate how to install more Unicode-compliant fonts on your computer (sorry, I'm not a Mac person, so can't offer any tangible advice). Hope this helps!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); September 16, 2010; 12:11 (UTC)

Map outdated since more than 5 years

The article about Elektrostal is using

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_Russia_-_Moscow_Oblast_(2008-03).svg

while the article about Moscow Oblast is using

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_Russia_-_Moscow_Oblast.svg

2012-07-01 the borders have been changed, 2014-03-18 Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol became federal subjects of the Russian Federation. So, the map is outdated since 5 years re the borders of the oblast and since 3 years re the borders of the Russian Federation.

The infobox call goes to Template:Infobox Russian city which is a redirect to Template:Infobox Russian inhabited locality. That template has been protected by User:Ezhiki in 2009 and only sysops can edit it. [1]. User:Ezhiki also is the main editor. Maybe he can fix the map for the article Elektrostal? 85.181.240.108 (talk) 13:06, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

You are right, the map should be updated. The problem, however, is that the inhabited locality template is currently using the set of map files named using a consistent naming scheme, so substituting the name of the federal subject in the file name works everywhere. The newer set of files is not named consistently. If I remove the "(2008-03)" part from the map call, some of the maps (including the one here) will work as expected, but others (like the one in Ufa) will break. To fix this, we need a set of maps representing changes since 2008 (and with Crimea properly shown as a disputed territory), but also named in a way the locality template can utilize across the board; same way the "2008-03" set is. I pointed out the importance of map file naming consistency on the Commons a while ago, but my concerns were brushed aside. Seems like the time to reap that harvest is now :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 14, 2017; 17:45 (UTC)

User:Ezhiki, would be nice if your proposal for consistency leads to implementation of such consistency in Commons. Maybe Ymblanter can help, he is admin there. 92.228.153.156 (talk) 01:38, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
