Welcome!

Hello, Khilletzbal, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:

Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
- Here are some articles where you can practice adding links to other articles. When you've got at least two blue links in the article you can remove the code {{Dead end|date=Month year}} from near the top of the page.
Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
- Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
- Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
Add headings with ==double equal signs==
- If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Add enough sections and you get a contents section.
- Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can remove the code {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
  - ===subheadings are similar===
When you add information to Wikipedia please precis things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it with a search on the internet. If you know it is wrong correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes'' Bold.

Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects_by_area, alternatively look at the talkpages of articles you are interested in and see which Wikiprojects have placed templates there.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit The Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

December 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to BMPT Terminator, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Russian Missile Troops and Artillery

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Russian Missile Troops and Artillery requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://eng.mil.ru/en/structure/forces/ground/structure/rvia.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Two divisions?

The reformation of the 90th Guards Tank Division in the TsVO, and your industriousness (thank you!!) in creating an article for it, has created a problem for the way Wikipedia usually names Soviet articles. I have posted a invite to a discussion at Talk:90th Guards Tank Division (Russia)#Numerical designator (90th) or honorific name? - please come and contribute Buckshot06 (talk) 05:41, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RF Brigades

I noticed that you created a template for active Russian Federation Brigades. I previously created a template for RGF Brigades which bolded the active units. Could you change your template to included only non-RGF brigades? Kges1901 (talk) 12:30, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How to rename it? — Nickel nitride (talk) 12:32, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You can move the template. See WP:MOVE for an explanation of how to do this. I'll add the special troops brigades to the RGF template. Kges1901 (talk) 12:41, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New name of template? Maybe removed this is template? — Nickel nitride (talk) 12:44, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Buckshot06: for a third opinion. Brigades of the Russian Armed Forces would be too broad, and the inclusion of the operational purpose brigades, which are part of the Russian National Guard, complicates things. It may be best to merge the RGF template into the Active RF brigades template, but the fact that the RGF template includes inactive units is problematic. Kges1901 (talk) 12:58, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, my template is probably superfluous here. — Nickel nitride (talk) 13:15, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We have scores of brigades that are not included in any template. That template could be repurposed for MOD (VKO, Navy/Coastal Forces, (Arctic?)), plus all the MVD, yes, now National Guard, and potentially other brigades. But as it is, it should be deleted.

Template on ru-WP

I don't understand. There seems to be sufficient "solid info" from RS to satisfy verifiability that 44 DShD exists. Just because there isn't an article yet (although I could, and probably will, create a well-sourced stub) isn't an issue; in fact, putting it in its rightful place in the list navbox might help someone turn the link blue.
