# Talk:Alina Zagitova

Russian trolls and KGB are changing this article and confusing readers by indicating Alina as a Russian. But Alina isn't Russian. Russian is a term that refers to ethnicity. But Alina's father is Tatar. She has a Tatar surname. Therefore, she is of Tatar descent and of Tatar ethnicity. Russian trolls and KGB guys are changing her ethnicity to Russian, and by doing this harming the accuracy of the article and ethnicity of Alina. By doing these, these Russian editors are also insulting Tatars, they are changing Tatars to Russian. Tatar and Russian are different ethnic groups, even tough both are citizens of the Russian Federation. But Tatars are not Russians. They are of Turkic ethnic group, so is Alina. Dear Wikipedia editors, pls don't allows Russian trolls and Russian origin Wikipedia editors and administrators to manipulate this page and provide inaccurate information on Alina.

French is also a term that refers to ethnicity, yet, nobody is writing that Kylian Mbappé is a French football player of Cameroon descent. He is commonly referred to as a French football player, clearly indicating the country of his origin. Similar information should be provided about Zagitova's country of origin. 178.46.215.6 (talk) 23:44, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Russian trolls are changing this article and adding incorrect reference that Alina Zagitova is a Russian. But Alina isn't Russian. Her father is of Tatar ethnicity. This makes her Tatar, not Russian. Russian is a term that refers to Russian ethnic group, and doesn't include other ethnic groups living in Russia. So I call upon editors to halt the Russian trolls and manipulation here, and to refer to Alina with her correct nationality and ethnicity. Her ethnicity / nationality is Tatar not Russian. Everyone pls hear. I am going to change this and change her nationality to Tatar.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.19.215.154 (talk) 14:14, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Because it linked to russian WP, which didn't help me at all. I don't actually know if there's any WP policy or guideline on linking to other language WP:s in the article text, but it's very rarely done and I don't see why it's helpful here, russian speakers would find it via ru-WP, but to the general english-WP reader it's just annoying. I have no objection to a redlink, of course. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 22:23, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, Redrose64. Per H:ILL#Inline links I changed it to the third option. I think it's better to have "warning", at least in this case. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:09, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
