January 2024

Hello, I'm Yamla. An edit that you recently made to Irina Shayk seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! --Yamla (talk) 10:49, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Governorates

Hello, as it looks like you are working through the articles about governorates, I would suggest to sort out the pre-1918 and modern orthographic spellings if that is something you want to improve. The infoboxes for some articles have the pre-1918 spelling while others have the modern orthography. Thanks. Mellk (talk) 06:35, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest the infobox having the modern spelling while the pre-reform spelling is additionally included in the footnote. Mellk (talk) 06:35, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ivanovo-Voznesensk Governorate (April 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Jeromeenriquez was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Ivanovo. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ivanovo-Voznesensk Governorate and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Transliteration

Going by WP:RUS, it seems that "-ий" is generally transliterated as "y" rather than "iy". Mellk (talk) 17:58, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for raising this point. While I acknowledge that WP:RUS typically prefers the -y ending, I also believe that the -iy ending is a valid option, particularly when aiming for a more accurate and precise transliteration of Russian words.

Even the Google Translate uses it. Wiz KDDI (talk) 04:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Google Translate uses BGN/PCGN romanization. WP:RUS is a slight modification of this. Although WP:RUS is not part of the manual of style, many editors in this topic area use this and nearly all of the article titles are based on this. Since there is only a small difference between the two, this is not really an issue for the language templates, but of course, if another editor changes the text to follow WP:RUS then it is probably best to leave it as it is. Mellk (talk) 05:57, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any queries about this I would suggest to ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia or Wikipedia talk:Romanization of Russian. I have not really been involved with this and there are other editors who are more knowledgeable. Mellk (talk) 05:58, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
