| When Princess Tatiana Konstantinovna , daughter of G-D Konstantine Konstantinovich, obtained the consent of her father to marry Konstantine Bagration and of course the blessing of HIM Nicholas II, she signed an official renouncement to their future children's rights, and that was BEFORE the abdication of the Romanov dynasty. So did her niece Ekaterina Ioannovna, princess of the Imperial Blood, in the late thirties, when she married Ruggero, marchese (in italian, or marquess, it means the same,) Farace di Villaforesta, for their children. Neither of these children : Nicoletta, Fiammetta and Ivan Farace ever considered themselves as heirs.... but Ivan, now marchese Farace di Villaforesta, is an active honorary member of the Family Association since his mother passed away in 2007. Like HM the King of Greece, Prince Michael of Kent, and other members of the Family, not necess<ref></ref>arily of the Dynasty. If Konstantine was not equal to Tatiana Konstantinovna, Leonida was not equal to Vladimir Kirilovich.( Who was not a grand duke himself, according to the Laws, it was a "titre de courtoisie"...). This is simple and clear . Grand dukes, during the last years of the Empire, were only brothers, children and grand children of the Emperor. The sons of GD Konstantine Konstantinovich were born as grand dukes, but became princes when the Laws were modified, before the end or the monarchy. The last Emperor was GD Mikhail for a very short time, and all the grand dukes and grand duchesses are now dead, alas. | |||

The paragraph "Notable people" is organized and structured very badly, to the point that I would rather not change anything, because I could be wrong, since in some parts it is not understandable at all, and in all other parts almost nothing is understood.

| ::Thanks for your thoughts. I definitely think the <nowiki>{{efn}}</nowiki> template is useful for listing multiple translations without cluttering the lead, it's done well in ], for example. In regards to the order of translations, I think the official (Russian) translation first should come first followed by the translations of prevalent linguistic groups. Exceptions can be made for more detailed such articles with "Name" sections, though this is unlikely to be the case for the majority of these articles. – ] ''<sup><span style="font-size:75%">]</span></sup>'' 22:59, 3 August 2023 (UTC) | |||

The one which is romanized (and used as the title) in absence of an established common English name. Which is another good argument for putting Russian first—romanizing the name in the national language would make no sense, because no matter how obscure the romanized Russian name might be, the variant based on the local language is going to be even less common.—] • (]); <span class="nowrap">August 4, 2023</span>; 13:52 (UTC) 13:52, 4 August 2023 (UTC) | |||

A Class promotion for 1995 Neftegorsk earthquake
According to WP:A?, when there is not a formal process to assess A class, it requires the support of at least two uninvolved editors without significant opposes. This is to let you know know that I have started a discussion for whether to upgrade the 1995 Neftegorsk earthquake to A. I hope to hear feedback.

Proposing the Draft:Feodorovsky Gorodok with source issues
Hi everyone, I would like to submit this draft about a historical place linked to the Tsar Nicholas II and its family, especially in the years of WWI: it is the place where an hospital was organized and where the empress Alexandra and its 4 daughters were employed as Red Cross nurses for two and half years, until the February 1917 revolution. We have plenty of photos of them and I already inserted also a gallery, selecting for now the most representative ones... but the problem relies on the sources and references: at the moment I inserted some sources, mainly divided into two types:
- some of institutional catalogs of important places in russia, to certify that this place really exists (with already some introductory text to it);
- one from an important blog about the Romanov and related things, with some articles to certify many details about it: this is an important blog, with even a second domain name. It is a trusted sources among us Romanov lovers.
The reviewer @Lemonaka said that he cannot verify if the sources are reliable or not, not knowing the russian language. Someone here from the project may know it and verify these sources, so that I can put some inline link and ultimately re-send the draft for review? Thanks a lot to everyone listening. :) -- LucaLindholm (talk) 15:44, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- @LucaLindholm, the blog you're using is a self-published source. It's maintained by certain Paul Gilbert. Assuming this is true, you can probably make an argument that he's an expert and therefore it's an admissible source per WP:SELFPUBLISHED.
- However, I'd suggest using sources that would leave no room for doubt. It's likely that it will take less time than arguing about the merits of the blog. Searching for Фёдоровский Городок on Google Books produces several results that seem pertinent (Двор российских императоров. Энциклопедия жизни и быта, Взрослый мир императорских резиденций - both by Igor Zimin and Ратная палата. Исторический очерк). Alaexis¿question? 21:32, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
