Missing Info

Unlike most city articles this one is completely missing information about the climate

Unlabled Question

Who were the other prominent students at the university?

The tourism website has lots of creepy 'mail order bride' advertisements all over it.

Violations of Wikipedia naming conventions

The names of towns in this article violate Wikipedia:Naming_conventions, specifically Yar Çallı, Älmät, Bögelmä and Çístay.

There are not any city in tatarstan with commonly English name..

This is incorrect. See http://www.tatar.ru/english/ for a list of official Tatar city names in English. The rest of the discussion is at Talk:Tatarstan Gene s 07:00, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

(exclude Kazan). So Tatar naming is also useful in English. Russian naming is not origin - it is only transliteration of transliteration from Tatar to Russian.

User:Untifler

I have tidied up the text somewhat including some of the seeming POV statemsnts - but do not know about the names.

Kazan Kremlin harmoniously combines elements of Eastern Orthodox and Muslim cultures.

This image is obviously heavily doctored, so I've removed it. There are plenty of far better images on commons, but in any case the page probably has enough photos. Palefire 14:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of economy info

Many of User:TY-214's edits are good improvements, but this edit seems to have removed some potentially useful info about companies. Any opinions? Offliner (talk) 18:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citation

I don't know why but can't normally put refs about square, foundation date etc in the Infobox. This is a reliable official source. TY-214 (talk) 23:16, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is because the infobox is using the deprecated set of parameters which do not make it immediately obvious how to add citations. Per your request, I added this ref for the area and the foundation date. If you need to reference other fields, please see the infobox documentation for the parameter names (or list them here; I'll be happy to add them for you). Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:14, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I've fixed all needed citations.TY-214 (talk) 21:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
