"Other sources claim the chief derived his name from the Russian language and that 'Vasili' is a variation of the Russian name 'William'." I haven't edited this, since for all I know it may indeed be what other (uncited and unnamed) sources claim, but William is, of course not, a Russian name. Nor is Vasili the Russian form of the English name William, despite the fact that men named Vasili sometimes use the nickname "Bill" in English-speaking countries. Vasili (Василий) is the Russian form of Basil. [[User:WilliamBarrett|WilliamBarrett]] ([[User talk:WilliamBarrett|talk]]) 05:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC) |

Semi-Protect
May I suggest semi-protection? I just cleaned up some vandalism, and as this is a town related to new Republican Vice-Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin I think problems will continue. I'm unsure how to semi-protect it, so if someone else could do the honours? (I logged in after changing the vandalism, so the edit isn't under my name.) Hagger (talk) 15:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Vasili/William
