WikiUral 2020 Competition is a global Wiki contest dedicated to Ural, subcompetition of the Wikipedia Asian Month 2020 contest. The purpose of the contest is creation and improvement of articles that correspond to Wikipedia notability guidelines. We invite you to enrich Wikipedia with quality works about the Earth's nature phenomenon—Ural mountains, history of its discovery, exploration, economy and culture of the Ural region and other aspects of Uralic life.
The contest is dedicated to the memory of Lev Vladimirovich Ban'kovsky, scientist and encyclopedist who lived in Ural region and worked for long time at Ural branch of Russian Academy of Sciences. During preparations for the contest many of the materials (classifiers, glossaries, dictionaries and encyclopaedias) were used which also were used by Bankovsky when he was working on Ural Encyclopaedia, Upper Kama Encyclopaedia and other works.

Ural (russian: Урал) — geographical region located in Russia and Kazakhstan, also Ural economic region and administrative division of Ural Federal District.
What Ural is famous for?
Stockpot of natural resources. It is an unique mountainous area and a stockpot of natural resources. According to scientists, this mountainous system emerged in the early Paleozoic Age. The stone belt appeared when the Western-Siberian Platform overthrust the Russian Plain. The remains of formerly huge volcanic mass suggest that half a billion years ago, magma was erupting here. Local geology formed thick oil-bearing strata and other mineral deposits.

Shikhan-type mountains (Russian: шиханы). Researchers find a remarkable difference between the slope structures of Ural Mountains: for several geological periods, the sea had been washing western slopes and, thus, it left up to several kilometers thick layer of sediments. By the end of the Carboniferous age, the sea had retreated. However, Bashkir shikhans, ancient sea reefs, are still there to remind us about these ancient times. The Ural Mountains continue growing slowly but steadily.
Perm geological system. The Discovery of Perm geological system began with the academic expeditions of P. Pallas, P. and N. Richkov in the 18th century. An English geologist R. Murchison was the leader of another expedition, worked in the Urals in 1841. As the result of this work there was the global discovery—the discovery of Perm geological system. The main arguments in favor of Murchison's idea were the enormous fossils (more than 188 kinds), that had been found in the Urals and in the north of the European Russia. In the 1950th and 60th years the first Soviet mechanized paleontological excavations were made, headed by P. Chudinov in the village Ezhovo near Ochor. The results were incredible. Ten unknown kinds of fossil animals were found.
Country of Towns. As early as 3,600—3,800 years ago, the South Urals have been a home of an unique civilization of over two dozen of cities. It was named a proto-city civilization, Russia's oldest Country of Cities. Its citizens knew metal production technology and could easily process granite, quartz and other rather hard rocks.
Mining industry ("Gornozavodskaya") "civilization". In the 18—19th centuries, successful surveys of various natural resources gave birth to a new Ural "civilization", now used to be called "mining civilization" ("Gornozavodskaya"). Ethnographer and literature theorist Prof. Bogoslovsky proved its existence. From the early 18th to the middle of 19th century, 260 industrial cities have been built in the Urals, i.e. more than half of the cities built in the rest of Russia within the same period. These cities had a distinct purpose and specific style of artistic design. In the first quarter of the 19th century, industrial cities grew big enough to have ensemble architecture, a governorate (regional) architect, and architects of mining factories and areas. A significant part of the Ural culture, these cities are essential from the viewpoint of global science, technology and art. In the 18th century, industrial cities made the Urals not only the area of largest industrial construction, but also the world's largest metallurgy center.
Ural equipment. Many different Urals machines influenced not only domestic, but the whole world's engineering industry. For example, among the products of the Ural manufacturing plants is a giant walking shovel (dragline excavator) ESH-100.100 (boom length of 100 meters, and bucket capacity of 100 cubic meters). The journalists gave this machine a name "an exclamation mark of the domestic excavating machines construction process".
