population template
edit@Ezhiki: the Template:ru-census template produces fragments that end with a semicolon. That means the current page's lead paragraph is grammatically incorrect. You reverted my initial attempt at copyediting to fix this problem and correctly noted that my solution was ungainly. Would you give it a try? I tried adjusting the |punct parameter of the ru-census template but it doesn't work. Runner1928 (talk) 18:16, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Hi there! For citing just one Census result, this is not the best template—something I should have caught and pointed out in the edit summary. Anyway, you are right, of course, that using a sentence fragment is not a good approach. Please take a look at my solution and feel free to tweak it further if you have other concerns.

Temperatures
editTemperatures seem to be sourced from Fahrenheit, perhaps run through a conversion to Celsius and then repeated as Fahrenheit through the template. Note that all the highs and lows are whole numbers or within one tenth of a whole number in degrees F, but random in C. Will investigate. —Soap— 03:15, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- Im going to have to let this wait for a while since I dont have a clear grasp of what's a reliable source for Russian climate data, or really for any climate data outside the USA. There may be something here but I cant get the UI to work. Its possible the original source was NOAA's climate data for the world, a ~700 MB chunk of text, which is in Fahrenheit. —Soap— 18:41, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Its highly unlikely a Spanish language website would be sourcing data in Fahrenheit. The source given has no data at all, it just lists cities around the world. i found this, but there is much less detail there than required to build a table. archive.org śuggests the detailed climate data has never been on the UCM site. —Soap— 18:55, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
- It was added here . The link is the same as today's, but the data is obviously in Fahrenheit, so I dont know what the ultimate source is but I doubt it was a Spanish ... or Russian ... weather service. —Soap— 19:03, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
We may be able to use http://www.pogodaiklimat.ru/climate/25399.htm . Im not sure where Pogoda I Klimat (?) ranks on trustability buyť it's better than no source at all and probably better than anything that's recorded in Fahrenheit. —Soap— 18:35, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
