WARNING: If you've come here to "notify" me of an AFD of an article you nominated the chances are, based on previous nominations, that there is a 99.9% chance you are mistaken and that the article can be expanded and is encyclopedic. Articles I create are almost always kept or the content at least redirected into a parent article as I'm usually a good judge of notability. Please don't waste everybody's time opening AFDs unless you have google searched first. If you want an article expanded, kindly ask.

[edit] Template:Did you know nominations/Chiclana de la Frontera
Dr. Blofeld, I hope you will come back to DYK in aid of Template:Did you know nominations/Chiclana de la Frontera, do a review of some other DYK nomination, and release this one from purgatory. The quid pro quo review rule is still in effect for self-nominated DYKs (not for times when someone else nominates your work). If some of your self-nominations got approved without a review (because other volunteers weren't paying attention), consider it a bit of good luck -- it's not an indication that policies have changed. Please return because we all need your diverse contributions. --Orlady (talk) 04:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Kizlyarka
Started what? Here's the translation. Please copyedit it as necessary:
- Kizlyarka is a type of grape vodka. Its name is derived from the town of Kizlyar (in the north of modern Dagestan). It is 40 proof. Its manufacture process is exactly the same as that of the Italian grappa or the Georgian chacha. It was mentioned in The Tale of Cross-eyed Lefty from Tula and the Steel Flea by Nikolay Leskov as kislyarka[unsourced for 215 days]: "Platov did not say anything back to the Tsar,... he returned to his apartment and asked his batman to bring a flask of Caucasian vodka-kislyarka from the cellar".
- Originally, kizlyarka was the vodka of the House of Eristov[unsourced for 215 days], and was produced from fruit and berries. After the introduction of the vodka monopoly in 1894–1896, it was recategorized as a pseudo-Russian vodka. It was popular among the commoners."

[edit] Russian districts update
I'm almost done with Ivanovo Oblast and have created a template for Kemerovo Oblast at Chebulinsky District. Kemerovo Oblast is easy—the refs are all the same. However, please skip Mezhdurechensky District—it's an odd one out and I'll take care of it separately. Also, as you may have noticed, I've skipped Kaliningrad and Kaluga Oblasts entirely—the districts of those are too dissimilar to be able to templatize them, so I'll be taking care of them separately as well.
