Talk:Culture of Russia

message: This page makes no mention of traditional Russian medicines, which is an important aspect of Russian culture. Wikiproject traditional medicine hopes to change that, but needs your support to get started. The projects goal is to detail medical anthropological knowledge of organisms and minerals used in traditional Russian medicine; along with those of all other traditional cultures to create a detailed pharmacopoeia accessible by anyone. Given the landmass of Russia a number of organisms and minerals must exist which are currently not mentioned under any article; russian traditions and superstitions makes to mention of organisms or minerals. Please support this project to promote multicultural education on Wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CensoredScribe (talk • contribs) 01:54, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Was this article written by Vladamir Putin?   It's poorly written and has a twinge of arrogance.  If you wanna see how a culture article should be written see the "Culture of Germany" article :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sooofisticated0499 (talk • contribs) 05:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Modeling

message: Culture of Russia and Russian culture require a major rewrite to draw a clear separation between the two. I started the stub "Culture of Russia" to indicate the idea, but I am in no way a "kulturtreher". My sole goal was to indicate the "velikoderzhavny shovinizm" ("Great Russia chauvinism") tendency and initiate the struggle against it. mikka (t) 18:23, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Culture of Russia

message: Here it was written:
The first known opera made in Russia was A Life for the Tsar by Mikhail Glinka in 1836. This was followed by several operas like Ruslan and Lyudmila in 1842 and Kamarinskaya in 1848.
This was a bad mistake, Kamarinskaya was not an opera at all, but a piece for orchestra, 
I've cut it out. (Meladina 23:22, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I just spent about an hour or so completely revamping the article; changing wordings, grammar, expanding, etc. I'm satisfied with it now, but it could still probably use some editing. LikeHolyWater (talk) 03:11, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Clean-up

message: The first paragraph of this page is awful. It is impossible to source most of the claims here "Russians are also known for their sense of humour" and is presented in short bulletin sentences. The use of intensifiers is also a problem. Please aid me in improving it. 
Here is an example paragraph I've written to replace the first one:
"Russia culture has been an importance influence in the areas of art, music and literature throughout the Russia's history. Russian writers, composers and artists are a source of national pride to Russians, and their works are not only integral parts of Russian society, but have also global reputations for ingenuity in their areas of expertise. Russian literature and art have contributed to many literary genres [modernism?] and different forms of art...[some examples maybe]"
Of course the facts need to be cited and more precise, I'm not an expert on Russian culture but I think that the opening paragraph is so useless that even using this draft would be an improvement.

replies: text: Indeed, this page needs much improvement. I have nearly completed my work on Russia article, perhaps I would improve this article as well.

replies: text: , do you have reliable, independent sources for the information you want to add?  I'm sure Islam has had an effect on Russian culture; you need to back it up with sources, though.  Howicus (Did I mess up?) 00:51, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

text: NO you don't that like adding source to scientific facts!!--RussianMuslims (talk) 00:53, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: All Wikipedia content should be based off of reliable, independent sources.  Some of what you added is in fact contradicted by the sources.  For example, you changed "the synthesis of Slavic and Byzantine cultures" to "the synthesis of Muslims and Byzantine cultures", but the source after that sentence, this, explicitly talks about a synthesis of Slavic and Byzantine cultures, and does not mention Muslim culture at all. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 00:57, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

text: i will add source to that?--RussianMuslims (talk) 01:02, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

text: But how does that justify removing the mention of Slavic people from that sentence entirely?  And what about your other changes, like removing the Third Rome idea and Peter the Great's reforms?  I'm also not entirely sure if that site has the editorial oversight needed to be reliable.

thread_title: Unsourced 

message: , hello, good evening, you claim here that its against the sources. Could you show me where in this article these so-called sources are stated? That will make it perhaps more easier for me to add my sources next to them as well. Because frankly, I dont see any sources here, but that might be me. In general, my point is, its impossible to disregard the Scythian/Sarmatian contribution to the Early Slavic ethnogenesis, which in turn was the foundation of the Russian ethnogenesis (and culture).
