**Sorry, CTAPT, but this article is притянута за уши and высосана из пальца. I'd vote for its deletion. Unless I see an article on Bulgarian playgrounds or something like that :).

***Please vote. [[User:Cmapm|Cmapm]] 20:00, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

****Actually, this article could be a part of a bigger article about Soviet urbanization and city-building policies. A certain number of playgrounds was mandatory for each microdistrict, just as there was supposed to be a certain number of shops/schools/kindergartens, as well as a дом быта, and a palace of culture covering a certain area. While the article just about a playground is viable, it is poorly titled (although I am having trouble coming up with a better title) and badly needs references (which as Cmapm indicated are hard to come by).&mdash;[[User:Ezhiki|Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis)]] 20:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

**Well, officially, Moscow has raiony and mikroraiony (the latter are usually numbered, like 7 mikroraion; some have names like Zyablikovo).

***Those are called administrative units. One can colloquially call them neighborhoods, of course, but the problem with that term is that it's ambiguous.

**** The guy started two more pages full of copyrighted stuff. His talk page consists of copyright warnings only and he didn't answer to any of these. I don't know why admins treat his continuing disruptions so leniently.
