Talk:Bilohirsk

message: A recent edit summary reads “unless and until this goes through a successful move request to that name, usage in the article should match the title.” But the title’s been changed a number of times recently, without any move requests. The last stable name was Qarasuvbazar. Per WP:UAPLACE place names in Ukraine are named according to the official name, with romanization per WP:UKR, so that would be Bilohirsk. I have read many editors complaining that foreign countries should not dictate our English-language naming, so can we presume that no one wants to use the Russian name Belogorsk, imposed by an occupying power after the start of the attempted annexation of Crimea?
Move history (please check my math):
* 10:02, 12 March 2020 Каракорум (Каракорум moved page Belohirsk to Belogorsk (Crimea) over redirect: The official name, with an explanation of where it is, taking into account the fact that there are several such cities. It was renamed to Belogorsk in 1944.) [5 days, so far]
* 07:08, 12 March 2020 Devlet Geray (Devlet Geray moved page Belogorsk (Crimea) to Belohirsk) [3 hours]
* 03:29, 12 March 2020 Каракорум (Каракорум moved page Qarasuvbazar to Belogorsk (Crimea): since 1944 this town called Belogorsk) [3 hours]
* 09:02, 30 September 2019 PlanespotterA320 (PlanespotterA320 moved page Bilohirsk to Qarasuvbazar over redirect: proper name) [7 months]
* 18:09, 1 March 2006 Ezhiki (moved Belogorsk to Bilohirsk: moving to the Ukrainian title) [13 years, 7 months]
* 23:38, 8 November 2005 Kjkolb (Bilogorsk moved to Belogorsk) [4 months]
* 23:38, 8 November 2005 Kjkolb created Bilogorsk [1 minute]
So let’s all agree to find a consensus by discussion, but in the meanwhile move the article back to the last stable title, Qarasuvbazar, or the official name and long-time stable title, Bilohirsk. All good? —Michael Z. 2020-03-17 19:29 z 19:29, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

text: I think Qarasuvbazar is best, because it is the longtime historic name, followed by Belogorsk. But Bilohirsk should not be used since that name is rarely used.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 00:26, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

text: It does not seem to be the case. Anyway, I unwatched this page together with a bunch of similar pages about Ukrainian localities about a month ago.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:55, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Bilohirsk (Crimea) →  – The bare title already redirects here, and the parenthetical disambiguator is unnecessary, so should be removed per WP:PRECISION. —Michael Z. 01:11, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
