Inappropriate change of title for article

[edit]

A new user made a unilateral decision to change "Ottoman Ukraine" to "Khan Ukraine" here. I believe this was in good faith as they are still new to Wikipedia, therefore would not have had time to familiarise themselves with the many policies and guidelines we 'sign up voluntarily to follow'. Their area of interest is evidently Crimea, Crimean Tartars, and Muslim subject matter in general. Users should read articles. Had this user done so, they would have been aware of the fact that it is written from the Cossack perspective, ergo the WP:QUALIFIER for the WP:TITLE follows the subject of the article. The edit summary of "... more appropriate name" is, therefore, blatantly incorrect. Could users be reminded of being bold, but cautious. Thank you.

They are not in the English language. WP:COMMONNAME and WP:QUALIFIER apply to the WP:TITLE of English language articles in Wikipedia. Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:58, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
