Cherykaw Raion → Cherykaw District – WP:UE, consistency in Category:Districts of Mogilev Region 77.180.131.56 (talk) 17:46, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This really becomes annoying. We have consensus at Talk:Instruction on transliteration of Belarusian geographical names with letters of Latin script#District vs Raion vs Rajon, half of the districts were already moved, and an RfC is not needed. I clearly told to the IP that I am going to move all of them, and I am unhappy with their activity all over the place. They are probably Tobias Conradi, a globally banned user.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:41, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Anthony Appleyard's reasoning is absurd: there are dozens of countries that have different levels of administrative territorial entities - to use a generic term instead of "administrative district", since one of the classes discussed is named "district" in English - and at the same time have one level named "district". Even more absurd it gets, when looking at the first example given, Russia, because for Russia the entities named "raion" in Russian, are named "district" in English too and this is applied in the English Wikipedia. Same is true for Belarus, "raion/rajon" are named "district" in English. What "oblast" and "guberniya" out of several classes of administrative territorial entities specifically have to do with the "raion"-naming in English remains obscure. Last but not least, Anthony Appleyard made a joke out of the process of uncontroversial technical requests by removing the above requests from the page and adding a summary "done 9" [1], where "done" means request fulfilled, a fact that is known to Anthony Appleyard [2], [3]. Anthony Appleyard could have looked into the alphabetically first entry in the category that used the form "X District" and would have found that admin User:Ymblanter had moved it and mentioned a "previously found consensus for Belarusian districts".
