If no one else has a go, I intend expanding this article, once 'Zapovednik' is finished. Meanwhile I have added two external links giving details of all the national parks, and have added an introductory sentence. I don't recognize the first park on the existing list.Geoff Harper 14:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Maybe it is 'Nizhnyaya Kama' in the Tatar language.Geoff Harper 16:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
I've tried several times uploading a map from http://www.rusnatpress.org.uk/parksmap.jpg (my own work and available for all use) but no success.Geoff Harper11:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This is a notable topic as-is, and the overview needs expansion. The "List of" should be considered a spin out, only after this parent article is too large. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:27, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the list to add photos, descriptions, and reference citations to the actual park web sites (most of which are in Russian). I count 9 parks added by MNRR since the original creation of the list, and one unconfirmed deletion. Could I get some help with this? (a) I'm using the Romanizations from the original table (with one or two exceptions that looked like typos), but am finding differences in the real world and am not a Russian speaker, (b) is it sufficient to put the citations in the "Citation/URL" column for each line item, or do I need to double up by adding a ref tag to each? Thanks. Every-leaf-that-trembles (talk) 04:46, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There are multiple valid ways to romanize most Russian words; when in doubt, you can refer to WP:RUS, which describes a default go-to standard to use in the English Wikipedia. Of course, it will only be useful to you if you can read Cyrillic :) (you don't really have to understand Russian, just be able to read it) (And let me know if you need help with any particular entries; I'll be happy to assist). As for the citations, you seem to simply be putting a link to the national park's website in that column, correct? That, of course, is useful, but not strictly speaking a citation. If the information in the Description column comes straight from the official website (which is not ideal, but acceptable as long as the information is strictly factual and contains no opinions), it should be supported with a link to the particular page on that website, not to the website's main page. I would suggest changing the name of the "Citation/URL" column to "Website" and appending references to the actual description. It's a lot of grunt work, I understand, but it makes maintaining the table easier in the long run. And hey, thanks a lot for working on this; much appreciated!
