Talk:Tuvan People's Republic

message: Given that "Tannu Tuva" is far more common in English, why not use that instead of the completely obscure "Tuvinian People's Republic" (which I've never even heard of before)? Stan 04:52, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Neither in the article 'Tannu Uriankhai' nor in this article about the republic here, which is explicitly named 'Tuvinian People's Republic', I found any note about the tuvinian people, not even a link. Can somebody shed light on them? Are they mongols or turks now? And what about the history of the land and the people called 'Uriankhai' from the Khanate of Ghengis on?

replies: text: Have you tried Tuvans?  That seems to be the link you are looking for...  Also, the main article about the modern republic is located at Tuva.  Let me know if you need anything else.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Tuvans

message: I read somewhere that Tuvan stamps are among the few which are more valuable used than unfranked. Is this correct (and are there any others?) Jackiespeel 18:02, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Tuvan Stamps

message: Is this the correct name for the article?  The English adjective form for Tuva is usually "Tuvan" (cf. Tuvan language, Tuvans).  Tuvinian is certianly used some but Tuvan seems to be more common.  (Check the external links list at Tuva for some examples.)  Should the article be at Tuvan People's Republic or People's Republic of Tuva then? —  AjaxSmack  07:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I trust this name is the one that's been used in English language academic literature on the subject (as a quick search in Google Books would attest).  Such a discrepancy is nothing unusual, by the way (cf. Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic and Belarus).  "Tuvan People's Republic" or "People's Republic of (Tannu) Tuva" are used as well, although they do not seem to be as common.  In any case, you might want to ask around here to clear this up.

text: Good question.  Let me look up in my sources... --Stacey Doljack Borsody (talk) 18:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: While you are at it, could you also check Tuva Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, please?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Ah, I hate when this happens :(  Anyway, my suggestion would be to submit a move request to "Tuvan" for all three articles (for consistency sake) and create a network of redirects for other uses.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Additional note: The translation of Otto Maenchen-Helfen's Journey to Tuva uses Tuvan People's Republic. --Stacey Doljack Borsody (talk) 19:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Might we find a map that is at a bit smaller scale, so that we have a better since of where exactly this (rather obscure) place is? john k (talk) 03:39, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Something similar to this might be a good idea, to give a general idea about the location. Junuxx (talk) 21:08, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Map 

message: We have an article on Tuva and we have an article on the Tuvan People's Republic. These two should be merged. William Harris • (talk) • 09:13, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There are two different articles about same region, but at different historical intervals. The first article about independent republic, and the second article about a subject of Russian Federation. --Modun (talk) 12:25, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  One Tuva with two articles? 

message: I would write this at the edit summary but clicked enter twice. Anyway, I told my reason because those 2 being latest flags used. We don't pick random period flags for a former country because it looks "aesthetically". Also reverted other user because very big infobox images. Beshogur (talk) 10:02, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
