Thanks for the review! QPQ done. I just checked the refs. for this article and all work fine, including the archived links. Let me know if anything else needs to be sorted out. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 16:27, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The current version has, as its lead sentence, Yuri Leonidovich Shcherbinin (Russian: Ю́рий Леони́дович Щерби́нин, ... Ukrainian: Юрій Леонідович Щербінін ...), also known as Yury Sctherbinin..., and I drew attention to that "Sctherbinin": scth is a weird way to romanize Щ, both for its Russian pronunciation of /ɕː/ and it's Ukrainian pronunciation /ʃtʃ/. It looks like it'd be pronounced /skθ/, with a sound in neither language. Are we sure this isn't a typo of some sort? scht would be less weird, although still neither a common Russian nor Ukrainian romanization and still not rendering either of those sounds particularly well. If not a typo, is there a reference that uses that spelling? oatco(talk)13:32, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
