Boris Rodos
Thanks for your article on Rodos !. In writing articles on Russians, it is useful to check whether there is an existing article in the ruWP to which it can be linked. I added the link, and also his Russian language name. DGG ( talk ) 07:53, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Invitation to join WikiProject Military history

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. - Radiphus (talk) 14:58, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
How to request a page move
I saw that you are having trouble requesting a page move. To request a page move of "Avel Enukidze" to "Avel Yenukidze", you will have to click here to create a new section in the article's talk page and then paste the text you see in the box below. I have used your reply to my post as the rationale for the proposed name change. Note that you don't need to provide a headline for the new section or sign your post. Just paste the text and publish your edit in the talk page. - Radiphus (talk) 02:11, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
{{subst:requested move|Avel Yenukidze|There is an inconsistency in the way Wikipedia transliterates names beginnign with the Cyrillic letter 'e'. For instance, there are entries for:
Boris Yeltsin, Alexei Yepishev, Andrey Yeryomenko, Vasyl Yermylov, Yefim Yevdokimov, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Nikolai Yezhov and many more.
Enukidze if the only entry I kind find where that same letter is transliterated at the beginning of a surname as E rather than Ye (although it is quite common for the forename Evgeny to omit the Y) I think we should use the 'Ye' for surnames because:
1) it already appears to be the more common form used on Wikipedia
2) it's the form used by all the most commonly read English language Russian historians, such as Simon Sebag Montefiore, Orlando Figes, Sheila Fitzpatrick, Robert Conquest, Isaac Deutscher etc. The 'E' format is more often used by academics who are not writing for the popular market.
3) It's a better guide to pronuniciation, and differentiates the cyrillic 'E' from 'Э', as in Eisenstein or Ehrenburg.
4) The best known name in this list is Boris Yeltsin, which is never seen spelt as 'Eltsin', so far as I know.}}
