Yenisey Governorate ?
[edit]Isn't the correct name of this governorate YENISEYSK Governorate [see: russ. wikip.] - instead of "Yenisey Governorate". Name giving place was the town Yeniseysk, not river Yenisey. --129.187.244.28 (talk) 06:59, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, both Yenisey and Yeniseysk are used in English academic literature to refer to this governorate, and the usage is approximately equal. Technically, however, "Yeniseysk" is more correct; that's a good point. I'll move this article now. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:05, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
It's YENISEY Governorate, not Yeniseysk
[edit]Just look at the map: "Du gouvernement de YENISSEY". The governorate clearly named after "Yenissey" river, not the "Yenisseisk" town (shown under 58° of latitude).
