Kyiv Bilshovyk UprisingKiev Bolshevik Uprising — To substitute the Ukrainian words Kyiv (Київ) and Bilshovyk (Більшовик) for its English equivalents "Kiev" and "Bolshevik".

Currently, this article is titled "Kyiv Bilshovyk Uprising". Wouldn't "Kiev Bolshevik Uprising" be a better title ?

  • It would be more consistent with the criteria mentioned in the "Deciding an article title" section of our policy on article titles.
  • It would be consistent with our entries on both Kiev & Bolshevik.
  • A Google Books search for "Kyiv Bilshovyk Uprising" comes up empty (although asking if I meant "Kyiv Bolshevik Uprising").
    A Google Books search for "Kiev Bolshevik Uprising" doesn't return any direct results, but indicates that at the very least those words are used in English-language publications.

I'm not familiar with the name(s) given to these events in English-language publications, and the current formulation is a good descriptive title, but at the very least we should make the words understandable to our anglophone readership. - Best, Ev (talk) 21:25, 11 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
