I would like to emphasize once again that set index articles on Russian inhabited localities exist first and foremost to collect the information on the legal status, administrative jurisdiction, and location of such places. Whatever one's stance on how "misleading" the legal status of a place might be, the fact remains that this status is what it is, and is so documented. Poetic descriptions based on a single source belong in the body of the articles being linked to, not here. Adding them here is just as inappropriate as adding a short summary on each place's economy or demographics—it's possible, but not what the purpose of these pages is.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 11, 2013; 18:10 (UTC)

Nonsense. Encyclopaedia articles exist to inform and give a feel of interesting places. They should do so, rather than be obsessed with trivial misleading formalities. cwmacdougall 22:16, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As this discussion is of more general interest, I have moved it to wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia. cwmacdougall 22:35, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
