I probably did not express myself correctly. What I meant, for example, is that this article in Great Soviet Encyclopaedia (it is in Russian, but you can easily estimate the amount of information it contains) http://bse.sci-lib.com/article067276.html would be good for the first two lines of this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuloy_River_(Vaga) but to get a decent article (not a stub) I had to use additional material, including topographic maps. In principle, I could just make a two-line stub, it would be useful in any case.
