Russophilia ideology

[edit]

Hello Archives908.
Unfortunately, "Pro-Russian" is not a correct way to display an ideology. The ideology would be "Pro-Russianism". There is always an ism, or ation, or ion, or something at the end. For example, the ideologies are called Pro-Europeanism and Pro-Americanism, not Pro-European and Pro-American. Pro-European or Pro-American is what you would call someone who has that ideology, not the ideology itself. Similarly, the ideology should be called Pro-Russianism, and espousers of that ideology should be described as Pro-Russian. HOWEVER, per the article itself, the WP:COMMONNAME for "Pro-Russianism" is actually Russophilia. This is similar to Francophilia, Anglophilia, Americophilia, etc. Essentially, "Pro-Russianism" is known under the name of "Russophilia". That's just what we call it in this specific example.
Essentially, saying "Pro-Russian" doesn't work grammatically, and "Pro-Russianism" is not an established name for the ideology. The ideology listed in this article should definetely be Russophilia, if that is the case with this political party. Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:13, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm clearly not the only one who saw this issue: Kevin9217 saw this issue too here. However, you (Archives908) have consistently stood against an improvement to Wikipedia, for seemingly no reason? I could easily go and fix every instance of "Pro-Russian" in Armenian political party infoboxes in less than 30 minutes if the issue is "consistency".
