honorific_suffix for Russians

К вашему сведению, Igorkhait, без всяких обсуждений, начал массово добавлять некие honorific_suffix для русских персоналий. Как вам это? --XXN, 22:49, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It likely needs to be reverted, but somebody should talk to the user first.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:10, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Small Favor if Anyone's Interested

Over at Baal Hammon, the first reference appears to be in Russian -- I think I see the word "Moscow in there":

Дьяконов И. М. Языки древней Передней Азии. Издательство Наука, Москва. 1967

If anyone wants to spare a minute, I would appreciate if I could get an English translation of the title.

Thanks in advance,

Alephb (talk) 08:37, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Alephb:, the author is Igor M. Diakonoff, Iranica translates the title as Languages of ancient West Asia.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:30, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone intervene? User:Ezhiki, User:Ymblanter? 85.181.98.181 (talk) 18:17, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Item linking in Wikidata - duplicates

But the Russian items had been connected in Wikidata long before. User:Ezhiki created the enWP items, User:GZWDer (flood) created new items for enWP. No interwiki links between ruWP and enWP for more than a year. 77.180.100.52 (talk) 22:38, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would have helped if Ezhiki would have connected the new items correctly in Wikidata. 77.180.100.52 (talk) 22:39, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Russian declension

Regarding the article on Russian declension.

I'm new to the Russian language. Can you tell me why the order of the cases in the wikipedia tables is nom, acc, dat, gen, etc. instead of nom, gen, dat, acc? I asked the instructor of the class I'm taking. They confirm that the usual order is nom, gen, dat, acc. Why are gen and acc switched in the wikipedia tables? Compare to the Russia Today rt.com tables.

-- Thanks Telecomtom (talk) 20:00, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The standard order in Russian is indeed NGDA, I am not sure why it is done differently in the article.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:55, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Telecomtom: The case order is pretty accidental and established rather by tradition then by logic. The NOM-GEN-DAT-ACC order is quite old and traced back to the first Greek and Latin grammars. Expectedly, the authors of the first Russian grammars followed that familiar order. However, coincidentally the traditional order somewhat resembles case hierarchy. The reason why in materials for learners of Russian NOM is followed by ACC is because NOM=ACC for a certain class of nominals.--Lüboslóv Yęzýkin (talk) 20:18, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question over the flag of the Russian Empire

Hi everyone. We would appreciate the input of someone who is familiar with historical Russian flags over at Talk:Russian Empire#Which flag image to use. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 02:32, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

LiveJournal

Hi, there is a discussion here about whether the LiveJournal blog site is wholly unreliable as a source or whether some users such as bmpd.livejournal.com are regarded as reliable. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:06, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:Lob flag moskovskiy.svg

In the discussion in pl.wikipedia user pointed out that you use this flag in several articles. It's not correct (also, check its description... Fantasy flag! Do not use in articles!). Regards, Wostr (talk) 00:33, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In Russian Wikipedia we actually discussed this some years ago and devised a rule ВП:НЕГЕРБ, that disapproves the usage of (largely invented in modern times) flags and COA for any state entities before roughly the 17th-18th centuries, except for medieval Western Europe, where heraldic tradition was some 500 years older (that is, it's OK to show the COA for, e.g., France from the 12th century onward, but not so for, e.g., Ancient Greek states). Unfortunately, I know no such a rule in English Wikipedia, because the problem is much wider than Russian topics, but has permeated a lot of historical articles.--Lüboslóv Yęzýkin (talk) 21:34, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In pl.wiki we have the same problem with many fictional flags and COA (especially ancient history I think, but recently also with fictional/not official flags of modern states). Thank you for the info of the ru.wiki rule – I'll keep this in mind (and in bookmarks ;) , because this problem in pl.wiki is not regulated and this may be helpful in the future. Wostr (talk) 22:50, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PutinTeam

I'm interested in creating a page about the "PutinTeam" effort (launched by Alexander Ovechkin). Would anybody be interested in helping to improve such an article if I start it? SecretName101 (talk) 05:00, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a (rudimentary) article for this topic. Feel free to contribute.SecretName101 (talk) 05:53, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Russia

Please take a few minutes to help make these more useful to our readers.— Rod talk 12:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kalininsko-Solntsevskaya Line was moved, then moved back, then overwritten with a station article. The content of the line is currently not visible. History must be split.

Also all(?) articles related to items in Russia use "X Type" (uppercase type name). Moscow Oblast not Moscow oblast. Sources also seem to use "-" not "-". But users from outside WP:RUSSIA carry out a move war. 78.55.76.239 (talk) 04:06, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Carry out a move war? I made a few moves in good faith. You asked for them to be reverted. I didn't object. Then an admin screwed up. Etc. Don't make it what it's not. Dicklyon (talk) 06:35, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Dicklyon, User:Anthony Appleyard restored it, but SMcCandlish moved again, and User:Jenks24 moved further to an ambiguous name. 77.179.24.246 (talk) 00:09, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure of the sequence, but Jenks24 restored the status quo ante, I believe, so let's discuss and take it from there. Dicklyon (talk) 00:18, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Station article now at page named after a line. Better than any vandal. 213.39.172.112 (talk) 04:14, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's being dealt with. -- AlexTW 04:23, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Page content undeleted by User:Jenks24. But he re-introduced ambiguous names Shosse Entuziastov (Moscow Metro) (there are two), Aviamotornaya (Moscow Metro) (there are two). Why would one do that? The year-long-standing convention is to use line name in case "X (Moscow Metro)" is ambiguous. All links point to the disambiguated name, and readers get confronted with a redirect. 85.182.117.227 (talk) 07:21, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Start a requested move discussion at the article talk page rather than fracturing it over half a dozen pages. That title is the status quo ante and was uncontroversial for several years before the recent move warring. Jenks24 (talk) 07:28, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Jenks24 - maybe you are not aware of it, but Moscow Metro is expanding, it's the 5th largest system in the world. Also English Wikipedia is growing. New stations became part of the Moscow Metro system and so the old names became ambiguous. The standard way for years is to use the line name as disambiguator. That was done via WP:RMT. This is absolut standard procedure. The mess only start when one user moved the station articles to conform with his newly created lowercase line naming. His target names have not been ambiguous. He even agreed to restore the old version. Anthony restored the old versions. But then SMcCandlish undid restoration of naming according to years-long standard way of naming these articles. And you jumped in and moved the station articles to ambiguous names. Now WP:RUSSIA has ambiguous article titles and since many links have been changed to point to the unambiguous names, users are now greeted with redirect notices, thanks to your moves against years-long consensus. Shame on you! 77.179.24.246 (talk) 00:06, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There's no shame even if how he helped is not what you'd consider ideal. You should be thanking him for recovering the deleted file. You can still make sure the handful of redirects from unambiguous titles go directly to the right articles, and make sure all the links are appropriately disambiguated. You want me to help with that?
