- Community member: Igor Temirov. I hope. Thank you
- I like very much this project. It is an extremely straight-forward approach. Even in the most unfeasible scenario, it is a risk which can be confidently taken. And thanks Игорь Темиров for contributing to improve content about the rural settlements of the Sverdlovsk region (which I presume is this, excuse my ignorance and it will be great to have in the future more info on Wikipedia about it). I presume by adding the data on WikiData – even if the source is not in public domain – you make it open (if i understand the issue correctly data can not be copyrighted, but a table can; in this case I presume they ask you to pay to access the information - maybe the administrative work behind it – but in any case, by re-entering the data on WikiData, everything will become open). Sorry if i suggest WikiData but it is worth to have the population of the rural settlements of the Sverdlovsk region on Wikipedia in all languages :) --iopensa (talk) 23:23, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for your support. Only we are not talking about the area, and wider - about the region. Regional Statistics Committee does not give free access census data 2010. I want to buy by a grant a book from the results of the census and add to Wikipedia and, of course, in WikiData. Игорь Темиров (talk) 08:42, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
