As a note, the original page does not have a Copyright notice on it and appears to be unmaintained. Anyone who disagrees with this, feel free to copyvio it. - FrancisTyers 12:53, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

text: No problem man ;) Just saw it lying idle for a month and figured I might as well do something, could you put a copyvio tag on instead? I'll send an email to the globalsecurity webmaster and see if I get any more joy out of that. Didn't say anything about if it was copyvio or not, but I figure I'll rewrite it from that.  - FrancisTyers 18:30, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

text: Ok, I added some more relevant texts there too. Regarding the LOC public domain is there a template we can use at the bottom of the page, something like the encyclopaedia brittanica one that goes something like "This article contains text from the public domain 1911 edition of the encyclopaedia brittanica"? Personally I think the best approach to take would be to decide on the sections first and then fill them in from the LOC info. This would avoid the problem I had before of splitting up continuous narrative. - FrancisTyers 21:15, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyright Violation

message: With most of the ministry/department names, we have a number of pieces of information we might want to include:
* contraction in cyrillic (e.g. Госплан)
* contraction transliterated (e.g. Gosplan)
* full name in Russian cyrillic (e.g. Государственный комитет по планированию)
* full name in Russian transliterated (e.g. Gosudarstvenny Komitet po Planirovaniyu)
* full name in English (e.g. State Committee for Planning)
What do you reckon the best way of getting this information into the article would be? Personally I think using the transliterated contraction and then have an stub article about each one. This article can include the rest of the information along with a brief description of what the ministry/department does. Like I  have done for Gosstandart, Goskomtrud and Gosstroy (they aren't perfect I'd appreciate your input).
Also, which should be bold, which should be italicised which should be in parentheses etc.?

thread_title: File:Langman sto.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: It seems to me this whole section may as well be titled "Robert V. Daniels thoughts on Gosplan" since he's quoted three times and is the only source cited. I'm guessing the whole section is essentially a summary of his book.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.62.67.20 (talk) 20:27, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
