::::::Please review [[WP:BIAS]] if you’re not familiar with it. These are articles about places that were in an empire for some period of time. We should not write about them from the POV of the empire.
::::::I would prefer to alphabetize the list of foreign names. —''[[user:Mzajac|Michael]] [[user_talk:Mzajac|Z]].'' 01:10, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
:::::::That's precisely the point I'm trying to make—sources in Russian are prevalent because local languages were often suppressed and denigrated. Sources, however, are sources; as long as they meet our reliability guidelines, we'll use what we have. Just because Russian was artificially elevated above local languages does not necessarily make the sources in Russian unusable or less preferable; sources are judged on their own merits. And in the end, most of them are going to be in Russian, which makes putting a local language first look like you're trying to make a point; especially if you make this practice into a guideline. WP:BIAS works both ways, you know!—[[User:Ezhiki|Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky)]] • ([[User talk:Ezhiki|yo?]]); <span class="nowrap">August 31, 2023</span>; 01:57 (UTC) 01:57, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
:*I support this and agree with including Russian first followed by alphabetical order of other relevant languages. [[User:Mellk|Mellk]] ([[User talk:Mellk|talk]]) 17:10, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
