About me

• I became a Wikipedian on March 1, 2004
• I became an administrator on the English Wikipedia on August 26, 2004
• I am a male Russian American
• I am also a self-appointed keeper of consistency :)
• In case you wondered, "Ëzhiki" means "hedgehogs" in Russian
• Feel free to criticize me here (anything goes!)

To-dos & have-dones

In progress

• Russian federal subjects WikiProject (status)
  • Administrative divisions of Russia:
    • Administrative divisions of the Russian federal subjects
    • History of the administrative division of Russia

Completed

• Modern administrative divisions of the Russian federal subjects:
  • compiled complete lists of districts, cities/towns, city districts, urban-type settlements, and selsovets of all Russian federal subjects except Chechnya and Ingushetia;
  • brought administrative and municipal divisions of Adygea to featured list status.
• Template-making
  • Math templates: {{gcd}}, {{dec to frac}}
  • Russian geo-locations: {{Infobox Russian city}}, {{Infobox Russian district}}, {{Infobox Russian federal city}}, {{Infobox Russian federal subject}}
  • Utility: {{Audio-ru}}, {{Ru-census}}, {{Cite Russian law}}
  • Proof of concept: {{Infobox Xlit ru}} (an attempt to create a template which would automate transliteration of Russian words), {{Russian district composition}} (probably an overkill)
• Actual encyclopedic articles (pathetic, I know)
  • Yevgeny Burachyok, Height 611 UFO Incident, Nikolay Vasilyevich Komarov, Microdistrict, Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky

Recognition

Awards 

I, Mike H, hereby award you this Working Man's Barnstar, in commemoration of your much-appreciated work on "years in television". So many people would be uninterested in such work but you seem to enjoy it; you also did all your additions and cleanups without being asked, which I find commendable.[1]

I, Renata3, hereby award you this Tireless Contributior's Barnstar for creating History of the administrative division of Russia after realizing how much effort it cost! I hope one day you will be able to finish the project.[2]

	For contributing so many Russian related articles to Wikipedia, I hereby award you the Hero of the Russian Federation barnstar! Enjoy, abakharev[3]
	I, Darwinek, hereby award you this beautiful barnstar for your tireless work on the Russian administrative divisions and towns. Your hard work in this area helps keep it clear and consistent. Darwinek 14:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[4]
	For your great help in correcting all of the Nordic skiers of both Russia and the Soviet Union, I award the Hero of Soviet Union medal as an offer of thanks. Chris 14:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[5][6]
	For your patient, detailed and courteous replies on talk pages, and diligently doing The Right Thing when correcting articles. --Amir E. Aharoni 15:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[7]
	By the powers vested in me by the Constitution, I hereby confer upon you the award Order of the Lazy SOB - 1st Class in recognition of you blindly encouraging my ill-informed suggestion of the splitting of the Motherland geography stubs, and then sitting back to watch me bore myself shitless for 5 days, giving me false praise whilst pissing yourself at my expense behind my back. Might I also suggest a username change from Ezhiki; Ezhiki's are a useful animal and serve a purpose; I suggest a change in username to Ласки, because that was one great weaselling you pulled on me there. Accept this barnstar as the weasel you are, and wear it proud -- I would if I thought of pulling a fast one like you did. --Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 05:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[8]
