Russian Wikipedia is growing rapidly and on track to overtake several other language editions in terms of article count. It has over 559,000 articles contributed by users throughout Russia and former Soviet states. While most contributors only make a small number of edits, experienced editors help maintain order and resolve disputes. Mechanisms like the Arbitration Committee and flagged reviews help curb conflicts and vandalism to promote productive discussions over direct voting. A separate incubator space and mistakes reporting tools also aid new editors in improving without discouragement. Overall, Russian Wikipedia has found effective solutions to moderation challenges through community discussion rather than absolute authority.
