WP:BELARUSIANNAMES
Hi everyone, I am proposing some changes to this policy, please join the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(Cyrillic)#Belarusian_geographical_place_names,_Part_2. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 18:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
- Not a policy, and would never be one. It's a draft guideline, long dormant. Might make a good guideline, though. Anyway the distinctions between policies and guidelines matter. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:34, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Proposed MoS addition on optional stress marking in Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Korean, etc.
FYI – Pointer to relevant discussion elsewhere.
Please see: Misplaced Pages talk:Manual of Style#RfC?, for a proposal relating to optional characters/marks for indicating vocal stress, used in some foreign languages, include "ruby" characters for Japanese and Korean, and znaki udareniya marks in Ukrainian and Russian. The short version is that, based on a rule already long found in MOS:JAPAN and consonant with WP:NOTDICT policy, MoS would instruct (in MOS:FOREIGN) not to use these marks (primarily intended for pedagogical purposes) except in unusual circumstances, like direct quotation, or discussion of the marks themselves. Target date for implementation is April 21. PS: This does not relate to Vietnamese tone marks. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:30, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Rename articles about uezds for consistency
I’m proposing renaming every article in the form of, for example, Akhtyrka Uyezd → Akhtyrka Uezd, to match the spelling of the renamed main article Uezd. Please discuss at talk:Uezd#Rename articles about uezds for consistency. —Michael Z. 22:16, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Lukashenko articles on Belarusian Misplaced Pages
This was posted to my talk page, but I don't speak any of the relevant languages and am not in a postion to help.
Issues on be-tarask
Hey there! Thought I'd message you about some concerns of mine regarding the lack of neutrality on the be-tarask Misplaced Pages. ...
Currently, its article on Alexander Lukashenko says in part:
- Alexander Lukashenko ... is the head of the Russian occupation administration, a puppet, pro-Russian, authoritarian leader of Belarus who holds power by rigging elections and terrorizing Belarusians with financial, military, and informational support from Russia. ... On April 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin mentioned Belarus in the context of an alleged FSB attempt to overthrow the Lukashenko regime as a Russian-controlled territory in which Russia would determine what was a coup and what was not.
(At least, according to Google Translate). A similar descriptor is given on the "Lukashenko regime" article (which also exists in Ukrainian, but seems to use more neutral language).
There also appears to be a "Russian occupation of Belarus" article (does not exist in any other language, including standard Belarusian), which says:
- The Russian occupation of Belarus is the de facto Russian occupation of Belarus, an open demonstration of which took place on February 24, 2022, when the Russian invasion of Ukraine took place, including from the territory of Belarus. The Russian occupation administration is a puppet regime of Lukashenko, its head is the proclaimed "president" Alexander Lukashenko. One of the main measures taken by the Russian authorities (the Russian Empire, the USSR, the Russian Federation) and its occupation administrations at different times is the continuous violent Russification of Belarusians. The term "Russian occupation of Belarus" first appeared in the autumn of 1917.
This seems to be promoting false histories and original research (Lukashenko is pro-Russian and democracy doesn't really exist in the country, but it is not an "occupation" in the conventional sense, and the link to 1917 appears novel).
These are just two that caught my eye. I don't know whether this is limited to a few articles, or whether it is a more ingrained issue of ideological bias on the Taraškievica wiki in a similar vein to the Croatian Misplaced Pages situation. Notably, Taraškievica is spoken by the Belarusian diaspora, who I suspect are statistically more likely to be anti-regime. —AFreshStart (talk) 14:59, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Someone(s) from this wikiproject will be in a better position to help regulate the content over there. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 21:31, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
