Talk:Muscovy

message: I believe we are here to make a good compendium of knowledge. At least I'm here for this only reason. I clearly understand I cannot improve everything but if I see a badly written article or, more often, a badly written portion of an article, I try to improve it (of course, if I have a desire and time). As much as I can. I want emphasize that I do only the things that I know well, and try not to poke my nose into that I have a little idea. Now I see the contrary. I improved this disambig page according to the guidelines and according to my very good knowledge of the subject. But someone just does not want improvements, but prefers a garbage.
* Disambig pages are usually done for comfortable browsing of readers. They are not articles. They are rather links to articles. They must be as short as possible and rather list than explain. I did this accordingly.
* Since August 2012, this disambig page has contained a blatant fringe theory, that cries "it is a trash". Really I hardly believe that this has been existed for 3 years and nobody paid any attention (I must confess even me!). I deleted it accordingly.
* Also this is not a dictionary. I deleted the Disraeli part etc.
* I deleted the link that lead to nowhere and the red link that lead to nowhere.
* Also I did some minor improvements and my linguistic correction (and I know what I'm doing).
What's the result? Just a blunt revert to a much worse version that has been overdue for corrections for a long. No, this is not a good thing. It's simply disruptive. --Lüboslóv Yęzýkin (talk) 23:49, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You're a NPOV editor expressly here for the purposes of for improvements? Now that's what I call "a rubbish" (sic). 1) Your missive here is expressly a personal attack: even the section header contravenes WP:TALKNEW as, essentially, the entire construct of this section is dedicated to soapboxing; 2) Your objectivity and objectives here are questionable (per your latest few edits), so no puffery about what a great editor you are. I might be more disposed to believing that your content changes "is not a trash" (sic) if you used sources for historical subject matter that weren't exclusively written by Russian scholars, and did not remove references to 'Muscovy' (an English language WP:COMMONNAME perfectly acceptable for the nomenclature in articles correlating to those periods in history) because it doesn't suit your POV. Indeed, you certainly know what you're doing. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 07:34, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I remind editors that this is a disambiguation page and not an article, which is why the following message appears on the top of the page when you're attempting to edit it: "This is not an article; this is a disambiguation page, for directing readers quickly to intended articles. For a quick guide, see disambiguation dos and don'ts. For more details, see the complete disambiguation page style guideline.
Some noteworthy differences from articles:
Generally only one navigable link (blue link) belongs in each bulleted entry. Keep descriptions short, and organize long lists in sections.The full article name should be visible; do not pipe entry names".
Usually, a typical disambiguation page looks like this one, that is, it should be as short as possible and must not contain too much text related to a particular subject; not to mention that fringe theories, marginal opinions not accepted by scholarship and original research are all prohibited by the rules.

thread_title: Note to editors

message: Perhaps to the view of "russian trolls" its a "disambig page has contained a blatant fringe theory" (Iryna Harp), but from May 22 , 2008 till June 5, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150515000000*/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscovy_%28disambiguation%29
it was there as I've stated on my talk page (talk) without any modification and btw not even started by me.  So I still see it like it was reverted by Eriba-Marduk and RestoringPages (which user was created  (17:42, 30 November 2016 User account Restoring Pages was created) when I was trying to discuss with Eriba-Marduk and later also RestoringPages (pretending to be adminuser) and both blanked their talk pages instantly and see it as it's now as "russian trolling".
Contact admins about that and even .org about that, that soon wikipedia will look like russipedia.
Is more then enough evidence for orginal summary :
The name of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, changed for Russia by Tsar Peter I in the early 18th century. The goal of this change was to establish a connection between Muscovy and medieval state of Kievan Rus', thus claiming the right of Moscow to possess all the lands of Rus'. Muscovy was officially renamed by Russian imperial decree in 1721. The ethnonym "Russian" was fixed later - only at the end of the century, when Empress Catherine II of "the highest command" Moscow ordered the people called "Russian people" and forbade them to use the title of "Muscovites".

replies: text: Muscovy (disambiguation) →  – At least the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Tsardom of Russia equally often are called Muscovy in RS. Thus wikipedia should not give preference to one target over the other. Delasse (talk) 16:42, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
