Talk:Tomsk

message: I added a sidebar based on the one used for Moscow. All the info within it is from the Russian version of this page, which is featured, and thus hopefully accurate. However, tables seem quite tough to me, and I don't know how to format it to be more like the Russian version, as I want to
add the official website to it at the bottom. -Estrellador* 20:12, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a standard template Infobox City, you can't change separately, only for one particular page, the way these features are displayed. For me it seems that there is no strong necessity to change. Though I'm going to create a special template for Russian cities/towns. Ъыь 20:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Tomsk does not, and never had, significant Khakas population, therefore adding the Khakas name in the lede is IMO inappropriate. We do sometimes add to the lede names of the localities in languages different from the official languages, for example, if there were strong historical ties with the language, but here even the link is missing.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:40, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear administrators, The problem is that your colleague does not allow me to put the name in brackets in the language of the indigenous people of this city in Russia. I hope for your experience because I myself do not have much experience in such disputes, and if you do not agree with me, then I will leave this matter.

replies: text: *Comment You are misunderstanding the purpose of the language links. They aren’t there to satisfy every possible ethnic group that may have stood on that land nor are they there as some sort of homage to the indigenous inhabitants if they no longer live there. I’m sorry if that is what you believe it is for. You will see those links in cases where there is a meaningful population of speakers like Swedish language links on Finnish cities or if a particular place was under the legal jurisdiction of some country and carried another official name such as Gdańsk/Danzig. Tomsk is none of those things. For the most part, people also don’t list names of cities in Latin, Visigothic or Ancient Egyptian. Don’t make this personal. As long as you make personal attacks, there may not be anyone willing to come to your defense either and help you make a case. TastyPoutine talk (if you dare) 02:12, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Khakas name 

message: While going through the archives of the Servet-i Funun, an Ottoman Turkish newspaper, I found an image of students of a school for Muslims. https://archives.saltresearch.org/bitstream/123456789/129372/742/PFSIF9181003A129%20(1918-10-03).jpg 
I wonder if the image is PD and if so if it qualifies for the Commons
