Battlecruisers of Russia

4 articles

A proposed good topic consisting of all three of the unfinished Russian battlecruisers classes. The lead list was just promoted and hasn't been processed by the bot as I write this.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment—I don't think you should have links to "battlecruiser" in the FT box. Ucucha 17:20, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That's why we don't used the template! <slap to forehead> Knew there was something I was forgetting. Thanks for catching that.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:25, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks. Come to think of it, wouldn't it be better to leave out the redundant word "battlecruiser" in the links for the classes? Also, shouldn't this be a GT instead of an FT nomination? Ucucha 17:31, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Indeed. It is a GT nom, they're named the same as candidates.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:45, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - You placed this under featured, not good, topic candidates, though. I've moved it to the correct location. Ucucha 17:48, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Oops, thanks for fixing it.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:35, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image issue - I do not believe it is permissible to use a non-free image as the main image of the topic (even with a FUR, I believe those are only valid for articles)). -MBK₀₀₄ 19:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- There are no free-use images of any of these ships. Do we want to have no image at all?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:39, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think so. Fair-use images are never permitted outside of mainspace, and you'll probably get someone here removing it soon. Ucucha 19:47, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I removed the image; the non-free image-use criteria are strict about namespace restrictions, I'm afraid. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:33, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- An IP just added the naval ensign of the Soviet Union as the image. Considering that one of the three classes was Imperial Russian, that doesn't seem completely appropriate. Ucucha 17:51, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Considering two out of three were Soviet designs, I can see why. Both, though, would be best, if it were possible.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:13, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - True. That's not possible with the current template, though, unless you create an image that combines the Imperial and Soviet ensigns. Ucucha 18:18, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - That's what I figured, so I'm not going to get worked up about it. If some kind soul cares to combine them for me that'd be great, but I'm not going to take the time to figure out how to do one.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:50, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
