== Changing the WikiProject logo ==

I'm under the impression a lot of us would be happier using the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Belarus_(1991%E2%80%931995).svg 1991-1995 Coat of Arms of Belarus] as the logo for this project, rather than the present [[National Emblem of Belarus]]. I'll request that change if we have consensus that this is the case? [[User:Arianna the First|Arianna the First]] ([[User talk:Arianna the First|talk]]) 14:40, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Article titles for rivers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

You are invited to participate in the discussion about article titles for rivers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus at WT:RIVERS#Article titles for rivers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Markussep Talk 14:41, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The conclusion of the discussion is that articles about rivers in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus should be titled "X" if they're the only or primary topic (for example Volga, Yenisei, Irtysh, Berezina) and "X (river)" if disambiguation is needed and they are not obviously the primary topic (for example Kostroma (river), Don (river), Pripyat (river)). If there are more rivers with the same name, parentheses will be used for disambiguation, see WP:NCRIVER. I will start moving articles soon. Markussep Talk 08:59, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Displaying Russian names as footnotes in former Soviet Union locations?

Please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Soviet_Union#Display_Russian_names_in_footnotes_of_locations_in_the_former_Soviet_Union? for a discussion on whether the Russian names should be put in footnotes in articles about former Soviet Union locations (which existed at the time of the Soviet Union) WhisperToMe (talk) 08:32, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
