Chernobyl disaster - Latest revision as of 18:57, 13 July 2022

Hi @KnowledgeableHrvatica

Your statement did not specify what the end of construction was. I see you meant to say end of construction of Unit 5 & 6. How do you know this date was 2010? You need to substantiate that statement or remove it.

Also where do you get the information to say the maintenance on the sarchofagus was good until the dissolution of the Soviet Union. How do you know that for a fact? You need to substantiate that statement or remove it.

The previous wording "it was further enclosed in 2017" is better because the Sarchofagus was not replaced by the New Safe Confinement. I don't think the word replaced is a good description because it can imply removed and replaced with.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to SVD-63, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ✗plicit 03:38, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The page was initially moved because the literal translation of the name is slightly misleading (and controversial to some) and the rifle (like many other firearms, especially those of Soviet design) is more commonly referred to by its acronym (SVD). The reason the page was subsequently moved from SVD-63 to SVD (firearm) is because SVD-63 is not an official designation of the rifle, as I mentioned in the edit, and consensus appears to have been reached by those watching the page closely. I contemplated waiting until SVD (rifle) was deleted until the page was moved, but I figured it would be better to correct the page name sooner. If this page cannot be moved to SVD (firearm), could the first change also be undone as well? KnowledgeableHrvatica (talk) 04:08, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As the notice atop SVD-63 states, the article should not be moved until the move discussion is closed. Move discussions are typically left open for at least a week. Plus, you have yet to receive a response for your comment at Talk:SVD-63#Requested move 18 August 2022, so I'd hardly call that consensus. I'm not quite sure what "the first change" refers to. Can you please clarify? ✗plicit 04:20, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I had recently moved the page from "Dragunov Sniper Rifle" (Direct translation) to "SVD-63" (Acronym, but incorrect). Given the issues with the current name, it may be better to revert this change until a consensus regarding the new name is reached. KnowledgeableHrvatica (talk) 04:29, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge SVDK to parent firearm SVD

SVDK should be merged to SVD per WP:Firearms. Thoughts on this? JTC22 (talk) 08:21, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
