Please note also that unlike many websites, where someone can license a non-free copyrighted image for use at that site, we don't allow this. For these reasons, many biography articles do not have any image, and many others have a non-professional quality image because the only one we can use was one taken at some random location by an amateur (rather than, e.g., a professional headshot) who then released the copyright of the image under a suitable license.

To be correct; the band I write about is certainly not a common mainstream band, but most of the bands before the Disco invasion weren't. Although lesser known , it is not any obscure amateur band. The band ist still active after 48 years (and the founder played in two bands before that, having produced at least two records), has published 14 albums and is working on the next, and some of their songs have been used in televison serials and hollywood movies lately. I have a large collection of literature, (which wasn't helpful in that case) and I have found the band cited as &quot;Most collectible psyche band&quot; or &quot;Top ten of..&quot; in magacines like The Rolling Stone and metioned as important protometal pioneers all over the internet. Still, I need someone who can point me out a source that I can link here.

Only articles which have been the subject of repeated [[:WP:DE|disruption]] or [[:WP:VAN|vandalism]] tend to get [[:WP:PP|page protected]]. Usually, page protection is the last resort when all other attempts to try and resolve the problem have failed. There also tends to be a number of editors closely monitoring such articles to make sure someone doesn't try to any sneak in any disruption by somehow figuring out a way to get around the page protection. So, you might want to discuss you desire to edit this particular article with your Wiki-Ed advisor(s) since you might find it a bit harder to edit than perhaps some other article. Well-meaning students often run into problems when they select articles about contentious subjects or articles which have a history of being page protected. [[:Feral cat]] is indefinitely protected which means that there was some serious disruption going on at least at one point in time. The article has been protected six times since 2012 and each time the protection was removed, the disruption seems to have started up again. So, this might not be the best choice of an article to work on. I'm not trying to discourage you. If you really want to try to improve this article, then go ahead once your account has been [[:WP:AUTOCONFIRMED]]; this might, however, be an article where it's better to be a bit more [[:WP:CAUTIOUS]] than [[:WP:BOLD]]. Just make sure you leave a clearly worded [[:WP:ES|edit summary]] for your edits and try not to do a major rewrite/reorganization without first proposing it on the article's talk page.

My primary aim is to get a [[Fukagawa Geisha]] article up and add more information to the [[Fiona Graham]] page, so merging the &quot;Geisha mother&quot; section into [Fiona Graham]] article is fine with me.<br /> <br /> * The prominence of the Wanaka Gym case is vandalism and should not be an entire section, in both the Japanese and English wikipedias. It is rarely mentioned in any article about Fiona Graham beyond articles about that court case, yet most of the editors arguing with me seem to have a bone-of-contention on that topic (despite the fact that I included the case in a paragraph myself in my article).<br /> <br /> * If you look at the history of Japanese version of the Fiona Graham article, you can see that several non-Japanese editors (Ineffablebookkeeper, IP addresses etc...) repeatedly revert any new information that is added to the article, being unconstructive and reducing the usefulness of the article. Their main aim in both the English and Japanese versions seems to be to increase the prominence of the Wanaka Gym case. Japanese editors always seem to try and change edits back to the original version.<br /> <br /> They need to be constructive towards wikipedia:<br /> <br /> * Wikipedia is about constructive article building. [[Fukagawa Geisha]] has received a lot of media attention in major global news outlets and hence deserves a page on Wikipedia. [[Fiona Graham]] has a lot more going on in her life than Wanaka Gym, and not only does the court case not deserve its own section, but there is so much more about her life that should be added but the editors keep reverting.<br /> <br /> * Considering a large number of edits (of opposing party) seem to come from IP addresses or English speaking accounts, I consider them to be more resembling vandalism, whereas my role is a fan with no material gain.<br /> <br /> [[User:Geicraftor|Geicraftor]] ([[User talk:Geicraftor|talk]]) 04:13, 1 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Geicraftor is likely a Fiona Graham sockpuppet. She has been at it for over ten years now; see the talk page of her article for detailed backstory. Also, regarding &quot;Japanese editors always seem to try and change edits back to the original version.&quot; -- per [[WP:DUCK]], these editors are most likely sockpuppets of Graham herself. They are all SPAs that push the same point of view on the article; a POV that just so happens to be the same as Graham's. Furthermore, Graham has been on this point about &quot;my trouble with Wanaka Gym is irrelevant!&quot; for all these years, so it's getting super obvious that when a new account, editing in JST, shows up and tries to remove it, it's our friend herself. Finally, the media attention she mentions is usually puff pieces that are designed as promotion rather than appearing to be any serious journalistic in her work.

So I'm posting a question here in relation to articles within Wikiproject Korea, particularly in the entertainment field. I noticed that while the website Seoulbeats.com is considered as an unreliable site for this Wikiproject, some articles on Korean music albums and dramas cites this site as a reference, particularly in regards to an album/drama critical review. For example: [[Ice Cream Cake (EP)]] and [[The Tale of Nokdu]].<br /> <br /> In this case, is context needed for the usage of Seoulbeats.com? Like is it unreliable for main articles regarding a living person or event, but acceptable for album/drama reviews? Thanks in advance!&amp;nbsp;[[User:JTan1017|JTan1017]] ([[User talk:JTan1017|talk]]) 15:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> *Hi {{ping|JTan1017}}! While I don't know much about Seaoulbeats.com specifically, an unreliable source like a tabloid or a fanblog generally means that you cannot use that source for biographical information or breaking news. Because a critical review is a matter of opinion and not of fact, certain sources may be included there. For example, the article for the Halestorm song &quot;[[Uncomfortable (song)|Uncomfortable]]&quot; cites the ''[[Daily Express]]'', which [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources|this list]] says is &quot;generally unreliable.&quot; However, its use in the article is an uncontroversial album review, not a piece of heavy-hitting reporting.

It cites no sources at all. Where did all that content come from? A Wikipedia article needs to be based on the sources that it cites. The (relatively) easy way to write an article is to find all the sources you will need, read them thoroughly, then write the article based in what they say, citing them as you go. Very much more difficult, is to write your own opinions and recollections, then go through what you've written, trying to find a source for each statement. I recommend abandoning what you've written, and starting again from the beginning, using the method I've recommended above. It will save you a lot of effort. But I know from experience that a new contributor is unlikely to take that advice. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 17:06, 1 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> More than once you have written &quot;occording to the ''New York Times''... Go to those ''Times'' articles and use your own words to repeat what was written – but don't add in what wasn't written there, such as your own opinion, or what you heard from someone. Then cite those articles. Use reference brackets, and between those brackets put in the article name, the name of the newspaper, and page number the article appeared on. Find other published sources for what you want to say. If the newspaper articles are online you can add an External Link for those who want to read the entire article, but for Wikipedia articles a condensed version of what was written is often best, for many people feel overwhelmed when seeing a long article. <br /> <br /> It's good that you want to edit Wikipedia articles, and that you reached out for help.

There are a whole bunch of things you can do to spice your user page up, but my personal favorite is an infobox with userboxes. Userboxes ([[WP:UBX]]) are templates that allow you to describe yourself as an editor or as a person. They're always bright and colorful, and they can often be helpful to other editors visiting your page. For example, some describe what language(s) you speak and how proficiently, some describe how many edits you've contributed, some what WikiProjects ([[WP:PROJECT]]) you're involved with, etc. Also, check out [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia Commons], our sister project, for great Creative Commons images you can add to your profile. &lt;b&gt;[[User:TheTechnician27|&lt;span style=&quot;color: #00a9ff&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;TheTechnician27&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;]]&lt;/b&gt; [[User talk:TheTechnician27|&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;(Talk page)&lt;/span&gt;]] 16:20, 1 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> ::Talk pages are for functional communications with other editors, about article edits, so my advice is don't dwell on it being 'exciting'.

Is there any existing examples of doing this? <br /> <br /> My second choice would be to acquire some inexpensive, easy-to-use diagram software to produce a diagram similar in style to [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TTC_streetcar_map_2020.svg this svg example] or [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sheppard_Yonge_Eastward.gif this gif example].

For example, [[Fields of Fire (game)]], [[Europe Engulfed]], [[SPQR (board game)]], [[We the People (boardgame)]], [[Empire of the Rising Sun]], and some others.<br /> <br /> Thus, how to prove [[WP:GNG]] or [[WP:SIGCOV]] to board games?

To add to what the other editors have replied: I recommend you be cautious before you edit a semi-protected article. Have a look at the article's talk page, and see what has been going on. Some articles are semi-protected because they have had a spate of [[WP:vandalism|vandalism]] - that is, editing simply to damage Wikipedia - and if that is why the article has been protected, then if you have something to contribute, go ahead! But other articles are protected because they have been contentious and often people have been trying to continue a real-world conflict in the pages of Wikipedia. If an article you wish to edit is one of those, I urge you to read the Talk page and its archives carefully to see if the edit you want to make has already been discussed; and in any case, unless it is something trivbial like correcting a misspelling, think about discussing your proposed change on the talk page first.

However, if your edit is not deemed acceptable, or perhaps not supported by references, or in some other way inappropriate, another editor may revert them immediately. You should see a red alert symbol at the top of the page notifying you of any such 'revert'. But you can always go to the 'View History' tab and check if a subsequent edit has removed your own.

For these reasons, many biography articles do not have any image, and many others have a non-professional quality image because the only one we can use was one taken at some random location by an amateur (rather than, e.g., a professional headshot) who then released the copyright of the image under a suitable license.

I have a large collection of literature, (which wasn't helpful in that case) and I have found the band cited as &quot;Most collectible psyche band&quot; or &quot;Top ten of..&quot; in magacines like The Rolling Stone and metioned as important protometal pioneers all over the internet.

Only articles which have been the subject of repeated [[:WP:DE|disruption]] or [[:WP:VAN|vandalism]] tend to get [[:WP:PP|page protected]]. Usually, page protection is the last resort when all other attempts to try and resolve the problem have failed. There also tends to be a number of editors closely monitoring such articles to make sure someone doesn't try to any sneak in any disruption by somehow figuring out a way to get around the page protection. So, you might want to discuss you desire to edit this particular article with your Wiki-Ed advisor(s) since you might find it a bit harder to edit than perhaps some other article. Well-meaning students often run into problems when they select articles about contentious subjects or articles which have a history of being page protected. [[:Feral cat]] is indefinitely protected which means that there was some serious disruption going on at least at one point in time. The article has been protected six times since 2012 and each time the protection was removed, the disruption seems to have started up again. So, this might not be the best choice of an article to work on. I'm not trying to discourage you. If you really want to try to improve this article, then go ahead once your account has been [[:WP:AUTOCONFIRMED]]; this might, however, be an article where it's better to be a bit more [[:WP:CAUTIOUS]] than [[:WP:BOLD]]. Just make sure you leave a clearly worded [[:WP:ES|edit summary]] for your edits and try not to do a major rewrite/reorganization without first proposing it on the article's talk page.

I will disclose that I am a fan, but these exist on both sides of the spectrum and these are the people who help build Wikipeida.<br /> <br /> I am being accused of vandalism on the two pages mentioned, but in my opinion the two editors concerned are the ones doing the vandalism.<br /> <br /> * The [[Fukagawa Geisha]] house has been featured in several major media outlets, including NHK, CNN, and the Wall Street Journal. There are plenty of other major news outlets writing about it as well. It should not be merged into the [[Fiona Graham]] article because it is a non-profit venture established by several local geisha, albeit [[Fiona Graham]] is the geisha mother. A lot of the arguments being forwarded by the other side seem to involve other editors that have nothing to do with me. My primary aim is to get a [[Fukagawa Geisha]] article up and add more information to the [[Fiona Graham]] page, so merging the &quot;Geisha mother&quot; section into [Fiona Graham]] article is fine with me.<br /> <br /> * The prominence of the Wanaka Gym case is vandalism and should not be an entire section, in both the Japanese and English wikipedias. It is rarely mentioned in any article about Fiona Graham beyond articles about that court case, yet most of the editors arguing with me seem to have a bone-of-contention on that topic (despite the fact that I included the case in a paragraph myself in my article).<br /> <br /> * If you look at the history of Japanese version of the Fiona Graham article, you can see that several non-Japanese editors (Ineffablebookkeeper, IP addresses etc...) repeatedly revert any new information that is added to the article, being unconstructive and reducing the usefulness of the article. Their main aim in both the English and Japanese versions seems to be to increase the prominence of the Wanaka Gym case. Japanese editors always seem to try and change edits back to the original version.<br /> <br /> They need to be constructive towards wikipedia:<br /> <br /> * Wikipedia is about constructive article building. [[Fukagawa Geisha]] has received a lot of media attention in major global news outlets and hence deserves a page on Wikipedia. [[Fiona Graham]] has a lot more going on in her life than Wanaka Gym, and not only does the court case not deserve its own section, but there is so much more about her life that should be added but the editors keep reverting.<br /> <br /> * Considering a large number of edits (of opposing party) seem to come from IP addresses or English speaking accounts, I consider them to be more resembling vandalism, whereas my role is a fan with no material gain.<br /> <br /> [[User:Geicraftor|Geicraftor]] ([[User talk:Geicraftor|talk]]) 04:13, 1 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Geicraftor is likely a Fiona Graham sockpuppet. She has been at it for over ten years now; see the talk page of her article for detailed backstory. Also, regarding &quot;Japanese editors always seem to try and change edits back to the original version.&quot; -- per [[WP:DUCK]], these editors are most likely sockpuppets of Graham herself. They are all SPAs that push the same point of view on the article; a POV that just so happens to be the same as Graham's. Furthermore, Graham has been on this point about &quot;my trouble with Wanaka Gym is irrelevant!&quot; for all these years, so it's getting super obvious that when a new account, editing in JST, shows up and tries to remove it, it's our friend herself. Finally, the media attention she mentions is usually puff pieces that are designed as promotion rather than appearing to be any serious journalistic in her work.

So I'm posting a question here in relation to articles within Wikiproject Korea, particularly in the entertainment field. I noticed that while the website Seoulbeats.com is considered as an unreliable site for this Wikiproject, some articles on Korean music albums and dramas cites this site as a reference, particularly in regards to an album/drama critical review. For example: [[Ice Cream Cake (EP)]] and [[The Tale of Nokdu]].<br /> <br /> In this case, is context needed for the usage of Seoulbeats.com? Like is it unreliable for main articles regarding a living person or event, but acceptable for album/drama reviews? Thanks in advance!&amp;nbsp;[[User:JTan1017|JTan1017]] ([[User talk:JTan1017|talk]]) 15:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> *Hi {{ping|JTan1017}}! While I don't know much about Seaoulbeats.com specifically, an unreliable source like a tabloid or a fanblog generally means that you cannot use that source for biographical information or breaking news. Because a critical review is a matter of opinion and not of fact, certain sources may be included there. For example, the article for the Halestorm song &quot;[[Uncomfortable (song)|Uncomfortable]]&quot; cites the ''[[Daily Express]]'', which [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources|this list]] says is &quot;generally unreliable.&quot; However, its use in the article is an uncontroversial album review, not a piece of heavy-hitting reporting.

My contribution is in my sandbox at the moment and I would love to hear any feedback on the content. Here is the link to my sandbox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Evb16/sandbox&amp;nbsp;[[User:Evb16|Evb16]] ([[User talk:Evb16|talk]]) 15:46, 1 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> :OMG. It cites no sources at all. Where did all that content come from? A Wikipedia article needs to be based on the sources that it cites. The (relatively) easy way to write an article is to find all the sources you will need, read them thoroughly, then write the article based in what they say, citing them as you go. Very much more difficult, is to write your own opinions and recollections, then go through what you've written, trying to find a source for each statement. I recommend abandoning what you've written, and starting again from the beginning, using the method I've recommended above. It will save you a lot of effort. But I know from experience that a new contributor is unlikely to take that advice. [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 17:06, 1 March 2021 (UTC)<br /> <br /> More than once you have written &quot;occording to the ''New York Times''... Go to those ''Times'' articles and use your own words to repeat what was written – but don't add in what wasn't written there, such as your own opinion, or what you heard from someone. Then cite those articles. Use reference brackets, and between those brackets put in the article name, the name of the newspaper, and page number the article appeared on. Find other published sources for what you want to say. If the newspaper articles are online you can add an External Link for those who want to read the entire article, but for Wikipedia articles a condensed version of what was written is often best, for many people feel overwhelmed when seeing a long article. <br /> <br /> It's good that you want to edit Wikipedia articles, and that you reached out for help. It takes some practice to know the best way to improve an article. Best wishes.

Some articles are semi-protected because they have had a spate of [[WP:vandalism|vandalism]] - that is, editing simply to damage Wikipedia - and if that is why the article has been protected, then if you have something to contribute, go ahead! But other articles are protected because they have been contentious and often people have been trying to continue a real-world conflict in the pages of Wikipedia. If an article you wish to edit is one of those, I urge you to read the Talk page and its archives carefully to see if the edit you want to make has already been discussed; and in any case, unless it is something trivbial like correcting a misspelling, think about discussing your proposed change on the talk page first.

It's an important aspect of her life(perhaps why everyone has heard of her) and is verified by reliable news sources. But I would like to hear from other sides.

Not too many people watch local Fox News Channels in Los Angeles. Bezo's extramarital affair, or the &quot;so called 'relationship'&quot; as you named it, has lasted for 8 months and has resulted in them both announcing their divorces. <br /> And please don't accuse me of sexism. Lets be honest: millions of people now know who Lauren Sanchez is because she is having an affair with the richest man in the world. If a relatively unheard of person does something notable with a notable world figure, they will be known for that. Is it antisemitism that people today only know Jack Ruby's name because he assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald? No, it is because that is what made him a well-known person.<br /> And it is true that we do not post gossip on Wikipedia. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't post recent news regarding sex and affairs. I invite you to look at Trump's page and the information regarding his affairs. And on top of that, there are many reliable sources regarding the affair.[[User:HAL333|&lt;span style=&quot;background:red; color:white; padding:2px;&quot;&gt;HAL&lt;/span&gt;]][[User talk:HAL333|&lt;span style=&quot;background:black; color:white; padding:2px;&quot;&gt;333&lt;/span&gt;]] 02:40, 12 January 2019 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::If the “affair has lasted 8 months” as the media claim (without proof or contacting representatives, for that matter), then why in September 2018, did Bezos speak about his wife in the present tense about their courtship and marriage when asked in a public interview in front of hundreds of people? Timeline just doesn’t add up. Just because reliable sources—or unreliable since this seems to have originated with the goddamn National Enquirer—report on it doesn’t mean the policies regarding BLP change all of a sudden. Hell, Ariana Grande’s page wasn’t allowed to be updated with anything regarding Pete Davidson, even with reliable sources from the get-go, until he got on national tv to confirm their engagement, which I thought was absurd but you know how young love goes.

When the Grand Duchy of Moscow evolved into the [[Tsardom of Russia]], Moscow still remained as the political and economic center for most of the Tsardom's history. When the Tsardom was reformed into the [[Russian Empire]], the capital was moved from Moscow to [[Saint Petersburg]], diminishing the influence of the city. The capital was then moved back to Moscow following the [[Russian Revolution]] and the city was brought back as the political centre of the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Russian SFSR]] and the [[Soviet Union]]. In the aftermath of the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]], Moscow remained as the capital city of the contemporary and newly established [[Russia|Russian Federation]].<br /> <br /> As the northernmost and coldest [[megacity]] in the world, and with a history that dates over eight centuries, Moscow is governed as a [[Federal cities of Russia|federal city]] that serves as the political, economic, cultural, and scientific centre of Russia and [[Eastern Europe]].

The city is home to several UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]]s, and is well known for its display of [[Russian architecture]], particularly its historic [[Red Square]], and buildings such as the [[Saint Basil's Cathedral]] and the [[Moscow Kremlin]], of which the latter serves as the seat of power of the [[Government of Russia]].

As with other nouns of that declension, it had been undergoing a morphological transformation at the early stage of the development of the language, as a result the first written mentions in the 12th century were {{lang|orv|Московь}}, {{lang|orv-Latn|Moskovĭ}} ([[accusative case]]), {{lang|orv|Москви}}, {{lang|orv-Latn|Moskvi}} ([[locative case]]), {{lang|orv|Москвe/Москвѣ}}, {{lang|orv-Latn|Moskve/Moskvě}} ([[genitive case]]).&lt;ref name=Vasmer/&gt;&lt;ref name=Smol/&gt; From the latter forms came the modern Russian name {{lang|ru|Москва}}, {{lang|ru-Latn|Moskva}}, which is a result of [[morphological leveling|morphological generalisation]] with the numerous Slavic [[wikt:Category:Proto-Slavic hard a-stem nouns|''ā''-stem nouns]].<br /> <br /> However, the form ''Moskovĭ'' has left some traces in many other languages, such as {{lang-en|Moscow}}, {{lang-de|Moskau}}, {{lang-fr|Moscou}}, {{lang-ka|მოსკოვი}}, {{lang-lv|Maskava}}, [[Ottoman Turkish language|Ottoman Turkish]]: {{lang|ota-Latn|Moskov}}, {{lang-ba|Мәскәү}}, {{lang-tt|Mäskäw}}, {{lang-kk|Мәскеу}}, {{lang|kk-latn|Mäskew}}, {{lang-cv|Мускав}}, {{lang|cv-latn|Muskav}}, etc. In a similar manner the Latin name {{lang|la|Moscovia}} has been formed, later it became a colloquial name for Russia used in Western Europe in the 16th–17th centuries.

The Rurikids maintained large landholdings by practicing [[primogeniture]], whereby all land was passed to the eldest sons, rather than dividing it up among all sons. By 1304, [[Yury of Moscow]] contested with [[Mikhail of Tver]] for the throne of the principality of [[Vladimir, Russia|Vladimir]]. [[Ivan I of Russia|Ivan I]] eventually defeated [[Tver]] to become the sole collector of taxes for the [[Mongol]] rulers, making Moscow the capital of [[Vladimir-Suzdal]]. By paying high tribute, Ivan won an important concession from the [[Khan (title)|Khan]].<br /> <br /> [[File:Andronikov Monastery 18.jpg|thumb|Spassky Cathedral (Moscow's oldest extant building), built c. 1357|alt=|left]]<br /> <br /> While the Khan of the [[Golden Horde]] initially attempted to limit Moscow's influence, when the growth of the [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania]] began to threaten all of Russia, the Khan strengthened Moscow to counterbalance Lithuania, allowing it to become one of the most powerful cities in Russia. In 1380, prince [[Dmitry Donskoy]] of Moscow led a united Russian army to an important victory over the Mongols in the [[Battle of Kulikovo]]. Afterwards, Moscow took the leading role in liberating Russia from Mongol domination. In 1480, [[Ivan III of Russia|Ivan III]] had [[Great standing on the Ugra river|finally broken the Russians free]] from Tatar control, and Moscow became the capital of an empire that would eventually encompass all of Russia and [[Siberia]], and parts of many other lands.<br /> <br /> [[File:Вид на Спасскую башню от Исторического музея.jpg|thumb|upright|The [[Spasskaya Tower]], built in 1491|alt=]]<br /> <br /> In 1462 Ivan III, (1440–1505) became Grand Prince of Moscow (then part of the medieval Muscovy state). He began fighting the Tatars, enlarged the territory of Muscovy, and enriched his capital city. By 1500 it had a population of 100,000 and was one of the largest cities in the world. He conquered the far larger principality of Novgorod to the north, which had been allied to the hostile Lithuanians.

It was reconstructed by Ivan, who in the 1480s invited architects from [[Renaissance Italy]], such as [[Petrus Antonius Solarius]], who designed the new Kremlin wall and its towers, and [[Marco Ruffo]] who designed the new palace for the prince. The Kremlin walls as they now appear are those designed by Solarius, completed in 1495. The Kremlin's Great Bell Tower was built in 1505–08 and augmented to its present height in 1600.<br /> <br /> A trading settlement, or ''posad'', grew up to the east of the Kremlin, in the area known as ''Zaradye'' (Зарядье). In the time of Ivan III, the [[Red Square]], originally named the Hollow Field (Полое поле) appeared.<br /> <br /> In 1508–1516, the Italian architect [[Aloisio the New|Aleviz Fryazin (Novy)]] arranged for the construction of a moat in front of the eastern wall, which would connect the [[Moskva River|Moskva]] and [[Neglinnaya River|Neglinnaya]] and be filled in with water from Neglinnaya.

In 1592, an outer earth rampart with 50 towers was erected around the city, including an area on the right bank of the Moscow River. As an outermost line of defense, a chain of strongly fortified monasteries was established beyond the ramparts to the south and east, principally the [[Novodevichy Convent]] and [[Donskoy Monastery|Donskoy]], [[Danilov Monastery|Danilov]], [[Simonov Monastery|Simonov]], [[Novospassky Monastery|Novospasskiy]], and [[Andronikov Monastery|Andronikov]] monasteries, most of which now house museums. From its ramparts, the city became poetically known as ''Bielokamennaya'', the &quot;White-Walled&quot;. The limits of the city as marked by the ramparts built in 1592 are now marked by the [[Garden Ring]].<br /> <br /> Three square gates existed on the eastern side of the Kremlin wall, which in the 17th century, were known as Konstantino-Eleninsky, Spassky, Nikolsky (owing their names to the icons of Constantine and Helen, the Saviour and St. Nicholas that hung over them).

From 1610 through 1612, troops of the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]] occupied Moscow, as its ruler [[Sigismund III Vasa|Sigismund III]] tried to take the Russian throne. In 1612, the people of [[Nizhny Novgorod]] and other Russian cities conducted by prince [[Dmitry Pozharsky]] and [[Kuzma Minin]] rose against the Polish occupants, [[Time of Troubles|besieged the Kremlin, and expelled them]]. In 1613, the [[Zemsky sobor]] elected [[Michael I of Russia|Michael Romanov]] tsar, establishing the [[Romanov dynasty]]. The 17th century was rich in popular risings, such as the liberation of Moscow from the Polish–Lithuanian invaders (1612), the [[Salt Riot]] (1648), the [[Copper Riot]] (1662), and the [[Moscow Uprising of 1682]].<br /> <br /> During the first half of the 17th century, the population of Moscow doubled from roughly 100,000 to 200,000. It expanded beyond its ramparts in the later 17th century. It is estimated, that in the middle of the 17th century, 20% of Moscow suburb's inhabitants were from the [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania]], practically all of them being driven from their homeland to Moscow by Muscovite invaders.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|last=Абецедарский|first=Л.

In November 1730, the permanent street light was introduced, and by 1867 many streets had a gaslight. In 1883, near the Prechistinskiye Gates, arc lamps were installed. In 1741 Moscow was surrounded by a barricade {{convert|25|mi|km|abbr=off}} long, the Kamer-Kollezhskiy barrier, with 16 gates at which customs tolls were collected. Its line is traced today by a number of streets called ''val'' (“ramparts”).<br /> Between 1781 and 1804 the Mytischinskiy water-pipe (the first in Russia) was built. In 1813, following the destruction of much of the city during the French occupation, a Commission for the Construction of the City of Moscow was established. It launched a great program of rebuilding, including a partial replanning of the city-centre. Among many buildings constructed or reconstructed at this time was the [[Grand Kremlin Palace]] and the [[Kremlin Armoury]], the [[Moscow University]], the [[Moscow Manege]] (Riding School), and the [[Bolshoi Theatre]]. In 1903 the Moskvoretskaya water-supply was completed.<br /> <br /> In the early 19th century, the Arch of Konstantino-Elenensky gate was paved with bricks, but the Spassky Gate was the main front gate of the Kremlin and used for royal entrances. From this gate, wooden and (following the 17th-century improvements) stone bridges stretched across the moat. Books were sold on this bridge and stone platforms were built nearby for guns – &quot;raskats&quot;. The [[Tsar Cannon]] was located on the platform of the [[Lobnoye mesto]].<br /> <br /> The road connecting Moscow with St. Petersburg, now the [[M10 highway (Russia)|M10 highway]], was completed in 1746, its Moscow end following the old [[Tver]] road, which had existed since the 16th century. It became known as ''[[Leningradsky Prospekt|Peterburskoye Schosse]]'' after it was paved in the 1780s.

It was destroyed in the fire of 1812 and was rebuilt completely in the early 19th century.<br /> <br /> In the 1830s, general [[Alexander Bashilov]] planned the first regular grid of city streets north from Petrovsky Palace. [[Khodynka Field|Khodynka field]] south of the highway was used for military training. Smolensky Rail station (forerunner of present-day [[Belorussky Rail Terminal]]) was inaugurated in 1870. [[Sokolniki Park]], in the 18th century the home of the tsar's falconers well outside Moscow, became contiguous with the expanding city in the later 19th century and was developed into a public municipal park in 1878. The suburban [[Savyolovsky Rail Terminal]] was built in 1902. In January 1905, the institution of the City Governor, or [[Mayor]], was officially introduced in Moscow, and Alexander Adrianov became Moscow's first official mayor.<br /> <br /> When [[Catherine the Great|Catherine II]] came to power in 1762, the city's filth and the smell of sewage was depicted by observers as a symptom of disorderly life styles of lower-class Russians recently arrived from the farms. Elites called for improving sanitation, which became part of Catherine's plans for increasing control over social life. National political and military successes from 1812 through 1855 calmed the critics and validated efforts to produce a more enlightened and stable society. There was less talk about the smell and the poor conditions of public health. However, in the wake of Russia's failures in the Crimean War in 1855–56, confidence in the ability of the state to maintain order in the slums eroded, and demands for improved public health put filth back on the agenda.&lt;ref&gt;Alexander M.

A new anti-religious campaign, launched in 1929, coincided with collectivization of peasants; destruction of churches in the cities peaked around 1932. In 1937 several letters were written to the [[Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union]] to rename Moscow to &quot;Stalindar&quot; or &quot;Stalinodar&quot;, one from an elderly pensioner whose dream was to &quot;live in Stalinodar&quot; and had selected the name to represent the &quot;gift&quot; (dar) of the genius of Stalin.&lt;ref&gt;Sarah Davies, Popular Opinion in Stalin's Russia: Terror, Propaganda and Dissent, 1934–1941&lt;/ref&gt; Stalin rejected this suggestion, and after it was suggested again to him by [[Nikolai Yezhov]], he was &quot;outraged&quot;, saying &quot;What do I need this for?&quot;.

Between October 1941 and January 1942, the German [[Army Group Centre]] was stopped at the outskirts of the city and then driven off in the course of the [[Battle of Moscow]]. Many factories were evacuated, together with much of the government, and from October 20 the city was declared to be in a state of siege.

In 1991 Moscow was the scene of a [[Soviet coup attempt of 1991|coup attempt]] by conservative communists opposed to the [[Perestroika|liberal reforms]] of [[Mikhail Gorbachev]].<br /> <br /> ===Recent history (1991–present)===<br /> [[File:Zaryadye Park1.jpg|thumb|View of the Floating bridge in [[Zaryadye Park]], with the [[Red Square]] and the [[Moscow Kremlin]] in the distance]]<br /> [[File:Moscow Heart Embankment.jpg|thumb|left|Shelepikhinskaya Embankment]]<br /> When the USSR was dissolved in the same year, Moscow remained the capital of the Russian SFSR (on December 25, 1991, the Russian SFSR was renamed the [[Russian Federation]]). Since then, a market economy has emerged in Moscow, producing an explosion of Western-style retailing, services, architecture, and lifestyles.<br /> <br /> The city has continued to grow during the 1990s to 2000s, its population rising from below nine to above ten million. Mason and Nigmatullina argue that Soviet-era urban-growth controls (before 1991) produced controlled and sustainable metropolitan development, typified by the greenbelt built in 1935. Since then, however, there has been a dramatic growth of low-density suburban sprawl, created by heavy demand for single-family dwellings as opposed to crowded apartments. In 1995–1997 the MKAD ring road was widened from the initial four to ten lanes.<br /> <br /> In December 2002 [[Bulvar Dmitriya Donskogo]] became the first Moscow Metro station that opened beyond the limits of MKAD. The [[Third Ring Road (Moscow)|Third Ring Road]], intermediate between the early 19th-century [[Garden Ring]] and the Soviet-era outer ring road, was completed in 2004. The greenbelt is becoming more and more fragmented, and satellite cities are appearing at the fringe. Summer dachas are being converted into year-round residences, and with the proliferation of automobiles there is heavy traffic congestion.&lt;ref&gt;Robert J.

In the winter, moist air from the Atlantic condenses in the cold continental interior, resulting in very overcast conditions. However, this same continental influence results in considerably sunnier summers than oceanic cities of similar latitude such as [[Edinburgh]]. Between 2004 and 2010, the average was between 1800 and 2000 hours with a tendency to more sunshine in summer months, up to a record 411 hours in July 2014, 79% of possible sunshine.

Moscow is the site of [[Saint Basil's Cathedral]], with its elegant [[onion dome]]s, as well as the [[Cathedral of Christ the Savior]] and the [[Seven Sisters (Moscow)|Seven Sisters]]. The first Kremlin was built in the middle of the 12th century.<br /> <br /> Medieval Moscow's design was of concentric walls and intersecting radial thoroughfares. This layout, as well as Moscow's rivers, helped shape Moscow's design in subsequent centuries.<br /> [[File:Рабочий и колхозница 1937 год.jpg|thumb|The sculpture of [[Worker and Kolkhoz Woman]], an example of [[Socialist realism]] in an [[Art Deco]] aesthetic]]<br /> The Kremlin was rebuilt in the 15th century. Its towers and some of its churches were built by Italian architects, lending the city some of the aurae of the renaissance. From the end of the 15th century, the city was embellished by masonry structures such as monasteries, palaces, walls, towers, and churches.<br /> <br /> The city's appearance had not changed much by the 18th century. Houses were made of pine and spruce logs, with shingled roofs plastered with sod or covered by birch bark. The rebuilding of Moscow in the second half of the 18th century was necessitated not only by constant fires but also the needs of the nobility. Much of the wooden city was replaced by buildings in the classical style.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite book|title=The architecture and planning of classical Moscow: a cultural history|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_STn96Qeg3D4C|last=Schmidt|first=Albert J|publisher=American Philosophical Society|date=April 1, 1989|pages=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_STn96Qeg3D4C/page/n24 5]–25}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> For much of its architectural history, Moscow was dominated by Orthodox churches. However, the overall appearance of the city changed drastically during Soviet times, especially as a result of [[Joseph Stalin]]'s large-scale effort to &quot;modernize&quot; Moscow. Stalin's plans for the city included a network of broad avenues and roadways, some of them over ten lanes wide, which, while greatly simplifying movement through the city, were constructed at the expense of a great number of historical buildings and districts. Among the many casualties of Stalin's demolitions was the [[Sukharev Tower]], a longtime city landmark, as well as mansions and commercial buildings The city's newfound status as the capital of a deeply [[secular]] nation, made religiously significant buildings especially vulnerable to demolition. Many of the city's churches, which in most cases were some of Moscow's oldest and most prominent buildings, were destroyed; some notable examples include the [[Kazan Cathedral, Moscow|Kazan Cathedral]] and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. During the 1990s, both were rebuilt. Many smaller churches, however, were lost.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal|title=onlinelibrary.wiley.com|journal=City &amp; Society|volume=10|pages=269–314|publisher=onlinelibrary.wiley.com|date=June 28, 2008|doi=10.1525/city.1998.10.1.269|last1=Khazanov|first1=Anatoly M.|s2cid=145807994|url=https://semanticscholar.org/paper/c9b88d750ffa1f82dd10b89d5e49f9aabfbb7cba}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> [[File:0169 - Moskau 2015 - Roter Platz (25795529393).jpg|thumb|[[GUM (department store)|GUM]] department store, facing the [[Red Square]]]]<br /> [[File:Ostankino Tower, 2015.JPG|thumb|left|upright|[[Ostankino Tower]], the tallest freestanding structure in Europe, and the [[List of tallest freestanding structures in the world|eighth-tallest in the world]]]]<br /> While the later Stalinist period was characterized by the curtailing of creativity and architectural innovation, the earlier post-revolutionary years saw a plethora of radical new buildings created in the city. Especially notable were the constructivist architects associated with [[VKHUTEMAS]], responsible for such landmarks as Lenin's Mausoleum. Another prominent architect was [[Vladimir Shukhov]], famous for Shukhov Tower, just one of many [[Hyperboloid structure|hyperboloid towers]] designed by Shukhov. It was built between 1919 and 1922 as a transmission tower for a Russian broadcasting company.&lt;ref name=&quot;stako&quot;&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.stako.ru/static.php?&amp;id=mem_shukhov&amp;lang=eng&amp;data=mem_shukhov |publisher=Melnikov Institute |title=Memorial |access-date=July 6, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080527154019/http://www.stako.ru/static.php?&amp;id=mem_shukhov&amp;lang=eng&amp;data=mem_shukhov |archive-date=May 27, 2008 }}&lt;/ref&gt; Shukhov also left a lasting legacy to the [[Constructivism (art)|Constructivist]] architecture of early Soviet Russia. He designed spacious elongated shop galleries, most notably the [[GUM (department store)|GUM]] department store on [[Red Square]],&lt;ref name=&quot;stako&quot;/&gt; bridged with innovative metal-and-glass vaults.<br /> [[File:Moscow, Hotel Ukraina (30585861673).jpg|One of the [[Seven Sisters (Moscow)|Seven Sisters]], [[Radisson Royal Hotel, Moscow|Hotel Ukraina]], is the [[List of tallest buildings in Europe|tallest hotel in Europe]], and one of the [[List of tallest hotels|tallest hotels in the world]]|thumb]]<br /> [[File:Zhivopisny Bridge1.jpg|thumb|left|[[Zhivopisny Bridge]], the highest cable-stayed bridge in Europe]]<br /> Perhaps the most recognizable contributions of the Stalinist period are the so-called [[Seven Sisters (Moscow)|Seven Sisters]], seven massive skyscrapers scattered throughout the city at about an equal distance from the Kremlin. A defining feature of Moscow's skyline, their imposing form was allegedly inspired by the [[Manhattan Municipal Building]] in [[New York City]], and their style—with intricate exteriors and a large central spire—has been described as [[Stalinist architecture|Stalinist Gothic architecture]]. All seven towers can be seen from most high points in the city; they are among the tallest constructions in central Moscow apart from the [[Ostankino Tower]], which, when it was completed in 1967, was the highest free-standing land structure in the world and today remains the world's seventy-second tallest, ranking among buildings such as the [[Burj Khalifa]] in Dubai, [[Taipei 101]] in Taiwan and the [[CN Tower]] in Toronto.&lt;ref&gt;[[List of tallest buildings in the world]]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The Soviet goal of providing housing for every family, and the rapid growth of Moscow's population, led to the construction of large, monotonous housing blocks. Most of these date from the post-Stalin era and the styles are often named after the leader then in power (Brezhnev, Khrushchev, etc.). They are usually badly maintained.<br /> <br /> Although the city still has some five-story apartment buildings constructed before the mid-1960s, more recent apartment buildings are usually at least nine floors tall, and have [[elevator]]s. It is estimated that Moscow has over twice as many elevators as New York City and four times as many as [[Chicago]]. Moslift, one of the city's major elevator operating companies, has about 1500 elevator mechanics on call, to release residents trapped in elevators.&lt;ref&gt;{{citation|url=https://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2012/12/the-elevator-rescue-teams-of-moscow.html<br /> |date=December 4, 2012<br /> |title=The Elevator-Rescue Teams of Moscow<br /> |first=Sally|last= McGrane<br /> |journal=The New Yorker}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Stalinist architecture|Stalinist-era buildings]], mostly found in the central part of the city, are massive and usually ornamented with [[Socialist realism]] motifs that imitate [[classical architecture|classical]] themes. However, small churches—almost always [[Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]]– found across the city provide glimpses of its past. The Old [[Arbat Street]], a tourist street that was once the heart of a bohemian area, preserves most of its buildings from prior to the 20th century. Many buildings found off the main streets of the inner city (behind the Stalinist [[façade]]s of [[Tverskaya Street]], for example) are also examples of [[Bourgeoisie|bourgeois]] architecture typical of Tsarist times. [[Ostankino Palace]], [[Kuskovo]], [[Uzkoye]] and other large estates just outside Moscow originally belong to nobles from the Tsarist era, and some [[:Template: Cloisters of Moscow|convents, and monasteries]], both inside and outside the city, are open to Muscovites and tourists.<br /> <br /> [[File:Москва, Россия (Unsplash -kgrPSetNW8).jpg|thumb|Modern methods of skyscraper construction were implemented in the city for the first time with the ambitious [[Moscow International Business Center|MIBC]].]]<br /> Attempts are being made to restore many of the city's best-kept examples of pre-Soviet architecture. These restored structures are easily spotted by their bright new colors and spotless façades.

It is to note the method of building the road (usage of ground elevation instead of concrete columns throughout the whole way) formed a wall-like barrier that obstacles building roads under the MKAD highway itself).<br /> <br /> Before 2012 expansion of Moscow, MKAD was considered an approximate border for Moscow boundaries.<br /> <br /> Outside Moscow, some of the roads encompassing the city continue to follow this circular pattern seen inside city limits, with the notable example of two ''Betonka'' road, originally made of concrete pads.<br /> <br /> In order to reduce transit traffic on MKAD, the new ring road (called ''CKAD'' - ''Centralnaya Koltsevaya Avtomobilnaya Doroga'', ''Central Ring Road'') is under construction now.<br /> <br /> ===Transport rings in Moscow===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable sortable&quot;<br /> !

The city of Moscow is divided into twelve administrative okrugs and 125 districts.<br /> <br /> The Russian capital's town-planning development began to show as early as the 12th century when the city was founded. The central part of Moscow grew by consolidating with suburbs in line with medieval principles of urban development when strong fortress walls would gradually spread along the circle streets of adjacent new settlements. The first circular defence walls set the trajectory of Moscow's rings, laying the groundwork for the future planning of the Russian capital.<br /> <br /> The following fortifications served as the city's circular defense boundaries at some point in history: the Kremlin walls, Zemlyanoy Gorod (Earthwork Town), the Kamer-Kollezhsky Rampart, the Garden Ring, and the small railway ring. The Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) has been Moscow's boundary since 1960. Also in the form of a circle are the main Moscow subway line, the Ring Line, and the so-called Third Automobile Ring, which was completed in 2005. Hence, the characteristic radial-circle planning continues to define Moscow's further development. However, contemporary Moscow has also engulfed a number of territories outside the MKAD, such as Solntsevo, Butovo, and the town of [[Zelenograd]]. A part of [[Moscow Oblast]]'s territory was merged into Moscow on July 1, 2012; as a result, Moscow is no longer fully surrounded by Moscow Oblast and now also has a border with [[Kaluga Oblast]].&lt;ref name=&quot;Merger&quot;&gt;Official website of the Government of Moscow.

In recent years, some territories have been merged with different districts.

It started operation in 1935 and immediately became the centrepiece of the transportation system. More than that it was a Stalinist device to awe and reward the populace, and give them an appreciation of Soviet realist art. It became the prototype for future Soviet large-scale technologies. [[Lazar Kaganovich]] was in charge; he designed the subway so that citizens would absorb the values and ethos of Stalinist civilisation as they rode. The artwork of the 13 original stations became nationally and internationally famous. For example, the Sverdlov Square subway station featured porcelain bas-reliefs depicting the daily life of the Soviet peoples, and the bas-reliefs at the Dynamo Stadium sports complex glorified sports and the physical prowess of the powerful new &quot;Homo Sovieticus.&quot; (Soviet man).&lt;ref&gt;Isabel Wünsche, &quot;Homo Sovieticus: The Athletic Motif in the Design of the Dynamo Metro Station&quot;, ''Studies in the Decorative Arts'' (2000) 7#2 pp. 65–90&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The metro was touted as the symbol of the new social order—a sort of Communist cathedral of engineering modernity.&lt;ref&gt;Andrew Jenks, &quot;A Metro on the Mount&quot;, ''Technology &amp; Culture'' (2000) 41#4 pp. 697–723&lt;/ref&gt; Soviet workers did the labour and the art work, but the main engineering designs, routes, and construction plans were handled by specialists recruited from the London Underground. The Britons called for tunnelling instead of the &quot;cut-and-cover&quot; technique, the use of escalators instead of lifts, and designed the routes and the rolling stock.&lt;ref&gt;Michael Robbins, &quot;London Underground and Moscow Metro&quot;, ''Journal of Transport History'', (1997) 18#1 pp. 45–53.&lt;/ref&gt; The paranoia of Stalin and the NKVD was evident when the secret police arrested numerous British engineers for espionage—that is for gaining an in-depth knowledge of the city's physical layout. Engineers for the Metropolitan Vickers Electrical Company were given a show trial and deported in 1933, ending the role of British business in the USSR.&lt;ref&gt;Gordon W.

Its daily usage by Muscovites is low, making up for approximately 5% of trips because many vital connections in the network have been withdrawn. Trams still remain important in some districts as feeders to Metro stations. The trams also provide important cross links between metro lines, for example between [[Universitet (Moscow Metro)|Universitet station]] of [[Sokolnicheskaya Line]] (#1 red line) and [[Profsoyuznaya (Moscow Metro)|Profsoyuznaya station]] of [[Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line]] (#6 orange line) or between [[Voykovskaya (Moscow Metro)|Voykovskaya]] and [[Strogino (Moscow Metro)|Strogino]].<br /> <br /> There are three tram networks in the city:<br /> <br /> * Krasnopresnenskoye depot network with the westernmost point at Strogino (depot location) and the easternmost point near platform Dmitrovskaya. This network became separated in 1973, but until 1997 it could easily have been reconnected by about {{convert|1|km|mi|spell=in|abbr=off}} of track and three switches. The network has the highest usage in Moscow and no weak points based on turnover except to-depot lane (passengers serviced by bus) and tram ring at Dmitrovskaya (because now it is neither a normal transfer point nor a repair terminal).<br /> * The Apakov depot services the south-western part from the Varshavsky lane – Simferopolsky boulevard in the east to the Universitet station in the west and Boulevard lane at the center. This network is connected only by the four-way Dubininskaya and Kozhevnicheskaya streets. A second connection by Vostochnaya (Eastern) street was withdrawn in 1987 due to fire at Dinamo plant and has not been recovered, and remains lost (Avtozavodsky bridge) at 1992. The network may be serviced anyway by another depot (now route 35, 38).<br /> * Main three depot networks with railway gate and tram-repair plant.<br /> <br /> In addition, tram advocates have suggested that the new rapid transit services (metro to City, Butovo light metro, Monorail) would be more effective as at-grade tram lines and that the problems with trams are only due to poor management and operation, not the technical properties of trams. New tram models have been developed for the Moscow network despite the lack of expansion.<br /> <br /> ===Taxi===<br /> Commercial taxi services and [[route taxi]]s are in widespread use.

Domodedovo International Airport is the leading airport in Russia in terms of passenger throughput, and is the primary gateway to long-haul domestic and CIS destinations and its international traffic rivals Sheremetyevo. Most of [[Star Alliance]] members use Domodedovo as their international hub. Vnukovo International Airport handles flights of [[Turkish Airlines]], [[Lufthansa]], [[Wizz Air]] and others. Ostafyevo International Airport caters primarily to business aviation.<br /> <br /> Moscow's airports vary in distances from the MKAD beltway: Domodedovo is the farthest at {{convert|22|km|0|abbr=on}}; Vnukovo is {{convert|11|km|0|abbr=on}}; Sheremetyevo is {{convert|10|km|0|abbr=on}}; and Ostafievo, the nearest, is about {{convert|8|km|mi}} from MKAD.&lt;ref name=&quot;4airports&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> There are a number of smaller airports close to Moscow (19 in Moscow Oblast) such as [[Myachkovo Airport]], that are intended for private aircraft, helicopters and charters.&lt;ref&gt;{{in lang|ru}} [http://www.sostav.ru/news/2004/08/18/72/ Airport Myachkovo changed the owners]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Water===<br /> Moscow has two passenger terminals, ([[South River Terminal]] and [[North River Terminal]] or Rechnoy vokzal), on the river and regular ship routes and cruises along the [[Moskva River|Moskva]] and [[Oka River|Oka]] rivers, which are used mostly for entertainment.

It is planned to include a [[water park]] and other recreational facilities; business, office, entertainment and residential buildings, a transport network and a [[City Hall and City Duma|new site for the Moscow government]]. The construction of four new metro stations in the territory has been completed, two of which have opened and two others are reserved for future metro lines crossing MIBC, some additional stations were planned. A rail shuttle service, directly connecting [[Moscow International Business Center|MIBC]] with the [[Sheremetyevo International Airport]] is also planned. Major thoroughfares through MIBC are the [[Third Ring Road (Moscow)|Third Ring]] and [[Kutuzovsky Prospekt]]. Three metro stations were initially planned for the [[Filyovskaya Line]]. The station Delovoi Tsentr opened in 2005 and was later renamed [[Vystavochnaya]] in 2009. The branch extended to the [[Mezhdunarodnaya (Moscow Metro)|Mezhdunarodnaya]] station in 2006, and all work on the third station, Dorogomilovskaya (between [[Kiyevskaya (Filyovskaya)|Kiyevskaya]] and Delovoi Tsentr), has been postponed.
