Cities/towns
editГорода and городские поселения are different things :) To be completely precise, the template lists all inhabited localities which have a city/town status. You can find that list, for example, in OKATO, to name one place. Rural localities like Vesyoloye are not included simply because there are just too damn many of them—in Krasnodar Krai, for example, there are over 1,700; imagine trying to fit them all into one template! :)
The sort key tells the system how to sort the entries in the category. When the sort key is left blank, it means that this particular entry will be sorted first in the list—if you take a look at Category:Sochi, you'll see that the Sochi entry is listed first (as it is the main topical article in the category). Removing the sort key will simply lead to Sochi being listed by default (under "S"). Not a big deal, but something to remember.
As for Vesyoloye, I did add it to my to-do list. Can't promise to get to it soon, but for an article about a minor Russian village I assure you it is better than average. Thanks for taking time to create it!
All in all, if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me—I'm always happy to help. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 2, 2010; 21:17 (UTC)
- Sure, any time. As for the template, it's a navigational template, and navigational templates are supposed to navigate between the articles the template covers, not between all related topics, so the answer is no, the template does not belong in the article about Vesyoloye.

The article Yulia Chicherina has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. The-Pope (talk) 13:56, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Kukuruza
editI began the article Kukuruza and after publishing, found a link to indicate you must have written the article that was deleted. If you are still editing, would you mind looking at it and giving me your two cents, or adding to it?Jacqke (talk) 02:48, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
