Portal Europe without Asia?[edit]

Moscow and Russia are in Asia, not in Europe (by larger, much larger part). External links section contains Europe only (as continent, template portals). This bias of joining Russia to Europe is present elsewhere in the world... Turkey is, following same pattern, in Asia. --5.43.81.203 (talk) 00:43, 4 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think you should have taken a look at any map of Europe for where Moscow is located before making such comments. Mellk (talk) 23:23, 5 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Mellk: Just add Asia before Europe in this part of the article. Moscow is not in Europe as I know and with maps I saw. --5.43.81.203 (talk) 09:31, 9 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Where have you seen maps showing Moscow in Asia? AndyTheGrump (talk) 09:53, 9 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sister cities[edit]

Kharkiv is no longer a twin city of Moscow, Belgorod, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk and Nizhny Novogod. Here and here is the sources, please correct the information, because the article is closed for editing by inexperienced editors. Thank you! ZERTINHO (talk) 12:06, 5 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Moscow has recently added a new vehicle registration code, 977, which I was going to put in Vehicle registration column Mxnko (talk) 21:31, 27 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done (though the source is a little suboptimal). Colonestarrice (talk) 06:03, 28 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
