Guidelines

[edit]

Articles of federal subjects

[edit]

The article should start with a good introduction, giving the name of the federal subject in English, its name in Russian (Cyrillic), and its name in any other official language of the federal subject (in that language).

A fact sheet is to be included on the right side of the article.

The rest of the article consists of the following paragraphs (where possible, try to insert the chapters in this order for consistency). Each paragraph can include a link to a more detailed article on the subject:

  • Geography: Describe the geographical features within the federal subject (rivers, lakes, mountains, natural resources, climate).
    • Geography overview section should give information on the following items: area, borders information (border length, list of federal subjects with common border, list of bordered foreign countries, list of bordered seas/oceans/lakes), highest point, maximum N->S distance, maximum E->W distance, average elevation. Some of this information is repeated in the fact sheet (see Template).
    • Rivers section should list all of the major rivers located on the territory of the federal subject and provide a link to a more details article on federal subject's rivers (which would include descriptions of minor rivers).
    • Lakes section should list all of the major lakes located on the territory of the federal subject and provide a link to a more details article on federal subject's lakes (which would include descriptions of minor lakes).
    • Mountains section should list all of the major mountains located on the territory of the federal subject and provide a link to a more details article on federal subject's mountains (which would include descriptions of minor mountains and hills).
