Moscow International Business Center[edit]

Why there are as many as five (5) photos of MIBC in this article, including collage? It's not the main tourism object of Moscow. It's not an ads of Moscow International Business Center! (And for me, as a muscovite, it's bad ugly copy of scyscrapers of USA or other Western countries). I think 2-3 (including collage) is enough. --Brateevsky (talk to me) 17:57, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As a former editor of Moscow, this article has to be one of the worst city articles I have seen. There is way too many pictures that makes this article feel like a collage. Everything is disorganized. There are many headings that are not needed. The reason why the MIBC is popular because they're skyscrapers and are among the tallest in Europe. - 祝好,Sinoam(聊天) 01:32, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Moscow Innovation Cluster[edit]

I have removed the paragraph about the Moscow International Cluster. I do not think it is notable enough to occupy so much space in the article about the city. It also is written as a promotional material and might be a copyright violation. Still the thing may desrve a short article on its own. Alex Bakharev (talk) 23:16, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have removed paragraphs about Moscow Innovation Cluster (yet again) and Moscow Electronic School both projects are very minor and I do not think they should be in the city article. They also are very promotional by the style and possibly are copy violations of the press releases. After fixing those problems I would encourage the authors to create articles about those projects. If you think the paragraphs should be here, in the city article please argue it on the talk first Alex Bakharev (talk) 02:19, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Categorising by date first mentioned[edit]

As the date of establishment is not known, should the city be categorised by the date of the earliest mention in historical records? Please see and comment at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2021_July_27#Establishments_based_on_first-mentioned_dates. – Fayenatic London 14:17, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There was a strong consensus not to categorise by the date first mentioned in records. I have removed this article from 1147 establishments. However, it is probably helpful for it to remain in category:12th-century establishments in Russia. – Fayenatic London 10:21, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Volders megacity[edit]

Moscow is the northest megacity, but not the coldest. Chinese city of Harbin has lower winter temperatures with a population of over 10 million inhabitants, 2A02:A03F:8948:D200:A46D:81FE:6A8F:37E8 (talk) 19:07, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnote[edit]

@A bit iffy: Since the missile cruiser sank hits for this page have tripled, suggesting that most readers coming here are looking for the ship - until the ship stops being covered so prominently in the news I think we should keep it in the hatnote.

Fair enough.--A bit iffy (talk) 11:26, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please make sure it's temporary. While I did indeed come to this page looking for the ship, I was quite surprised to see it mentioned explicitly in the hatnote! I don't think it belongs there long-term. —scs (talk) 14:53, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
