Hi guys,
I've been working on RaBOTnik's task zero. I've been dealing with millions of problems, for example people call the lang-ru template with so many crazy and invalid content that you wouldn't even imagine.
I've been filtering all the non-Russian stuff I've found inside calls to lang-ru. For example I've been filtering Latin letters, numbers, symbols, wrongly encoded characters, references (yes, some people cite sources inside calls to lang-ru...), links (yes, some people put wikilinks inside calls to lang-ru...) and so many other things...
But now, after about 1,000 lines of code and 5,000 hairs pulled out, I think I've now managed to filter everything that is not Russian names and create a proper list that contains each and every Russian name used in calls to lang-ru.
I've further depurated that list and I'm ignoring words where stress is obvious, such as the ones that have only 1 vowel and the ones that contain ё.
I've also found many errors in the existing calls to lang-ru, for example:
1) I've detected 600 calls to lang-ru that contain Russian words where some of the letters are not actually Cyrillic letters - they're Latin letters that look like Cyrillic letters. For example, Барковa. If you look closely, you will notice that the last a is not a Cyrillic a, it's a Latin one. I think it would be nice if RaBOTnik fixed those entries. I might incorporate it into task 1, or separate it as task 2.
2) When analysing the data, I found what I call "incompatible stress marks". That is, certain Russian words appear in different articles with the stress marks placed on different vowels. I think some of them might be errors, and some of them might be different words.
So now I'm going to show you the list of all the "incompatible stress marks" that I've found in the entire English Wikipedia. There are 49 pairs.
What I need your help with:
Please go through this list, and tell me, for each pair, which one is right and which one is wrong. Please put "--" next to the one that is correct. If both are valid, please put "++" next to both members of the pair.
