I could not edit you're talk page, but I've also added more features such as if they were reelected or not or if they were long-standing members or not. --TheUzbek (talk) 18:25, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

There is no sourced info about his nationality and it is not a big deal. --Egeymi (talk) 13:50, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

@Egeymi: I see that Ukrainian and Russian WP refer to him as Belarusian. --TheUzbek (talk) 13:52, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

But these are circular sources. There should be a third-party source. If you find a reliable source, you may add, of course. Happy editing, --Egeymi (talk) 13:54, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

On ethnicities

Hi. Apologies, I meant to give a heads up on some of the recent edits. Now categorizing historical figures by ethnicity on Wikipedia is always complex, because present-day understandings of ethnicity and nationality don't necessarily match the way those identities were construed at the time. For example, people living in the lands that today constitute the Republic of Lithuania weren't necessarily Lithuanians - in Vilna/Vilnius Poles and Jews outnumbered Lithuanians. The notion that Grigory Sokolnikov would be 'Ukrainian-Jewish' is also dubious, from what I can gather the categorization is based on applying the label 'Ukrainian Jews' to Jews that lived in areas that constitute present-day Ukraine. The label 'Russian-Jewish' is a political minefield, as implying that those categories would be mutually exclusive is contested. And so forth. Ideally such a categorization scheme would need a reliable, independent source. --Soman (talk) 21:55, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

@Soman: I understand what you mean. The reason why I added the ethnicity column is that this was of scholarly interest when foreign observers analysed the Central Committee/Secretariat/Politburo make-up. It also showcases Russian-Ukrainian dominance of the Soviet political scene.

I do, however, concur with you. Ethnicities, especially for the early CCs, is hard to find and have their own peculiar meaning in contrast to the ethnic categories in let say the 1960s.--TheUzbek (talk) 07:07, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Politburo member timeline

Busy creating a timeline of members for the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union here. Good work on revamping the Politburo pages! Having said that, could I ask for your help in checking that the dates in the timeline are correct, and other improvements like simplifying, etc, where possible? Thanks!

@SuperWIKI: Sorry, I've been inactive of late. Do you still ned help? :) --TheUzbek (talk) 07:07, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Absolutely! I'm taking a significant break from it because there's so many of them? Finishing off the last few in particular. SuperWIKI (talk) 07:29, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

@SuperWIKI: If I was you I would remove mentions of "Party leader", "head of state" and "Premier". Party leader is not really the correct term, and head of state and premier were not that important (what was important was Politburo membership). I would also change "Full member" to just "Member" and "Candidate Members" to "Candidates". I would also remove "military" and "security" background. For instance was Andropov a security man? He became one, but wasn't one at the beginning. In fact he was a civilian head of the KGB. Same goes for the majority of them. Military men too.. Was Voroshilov military? In some sense yes and in some sense no.

I would simplify the timeline since it would both make it easier for the reader but also convey the information as factually as possible. --TheUzbek (talk) 10:00, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
