Boris Yeltsin

Hello, I propose not to delete the important information about Boris Yeltsin's presidency. Please, first you have to discuss it on a talk page of the article. FlorianH76 ( talk) 10:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply

The chronology does not make sense, first it says he ruled a hybrid regime with a superpresidential system then it discusses his initial reforms and the 1993 crisis with parliament, which happened before the superpresidential system was established. Also, none of this is discussed in the body. See MOS:LEAD. Mellk ( talk) 11:08, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Ok, maybe we can simply put this information after the sentence where the 1993 crisis is mentioned? FlorianH76 ( talk) 11:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply
I already moved the text about super-presidential system to the section about the crisis. I also think saying he "ruled a hybrid regime" is a bit vague, though. Mellk ( talk) 11:17, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply
For example, look at these articles: Nursultan Nazarbayev, Ilham Aliyev. As you can notice in the articles about authoritarian leaders it is always mentioned what type of regime they established. Please, return the important iformation about Boris Yeltsin's political regime. FlorianH76 ( talk) 22:15, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Vladimir-Suzdal chronicle(s)

Hi Mellk, I wonder if you would be interested in helping me write a new article on what is variously called the "Vladimir-Suzdal chronicle(s)", "Vladimir chronicle(s)", "Suzdal(ian) chronicle(s)", "Suzdal-Vladimirian Chronicle(s)", or "north-eastern Rus' chronicle(s)" (e.g. ru:Русские летописи#Летописи Северо-Восточной Руси)? I've been trying to set up a draft over here: User:Nederlandse Leeuw/SVC. But I can't really get a proper definition or scope of what it is, what it is or should be called, whether there was or is one or multiple "chronicles", and what we can say about it.

Currently, I think scholars are talking about essentially the same text covering the years c. 1177 to 1203, written in Vladimir on the Klyazma, probably in several stages (linguist Timberlake 2000 has identified 5 segments), and having been preserved in the Laurentian Codex (Lav.), the Chronicler of Pereyaslavl in Suzdal ( ru:Летописец Переяславля Суздальского, LPS), the Radziwiłł Chronicle (Rad.), and the Academic Chronicle (Aka.). (There are probably later textual witnesses as well, but these 4 seem to be the most important). But elsewhere I am getting the impression that "Suzdalian Chronicle" just means everything in Lav. after the PVL, so 1117 to 1305. But the 1117 to 1177 content is usually identified as sharing a common ancestor with the Kievan Chronicle, scholarly known as the "Southern Rus' source", while the 1204-1284 seems to be a unique Laurentian continuation of the Vladimir-Suzdal chronicle, and the last few decades are commonly identified as copied from a lost Tver Codex of 1305.

All of this is a bit confusing to me, to put it mildly. ;) I've tried to visualise it here: User:Nederlandse Leeuw/Timeline Rus' chronicles manuscripts. I hope this can give some valuable insights into what we are talking about. Anyway, are you interested and able to help me write this article? I would imagine there is a lot of Russian-language scholarly literature on the topic that I cannot easily access and understand. If you're busy doing other things, that's fine.

I will have to look into it further but maybe the following is useful: [1] Mellk ( talk) 12:56, 23 March 2024 (UTC) reply
Hey, I decided to publish it under the title Suzdalian Chronicle. If you've got some additions, feel free to add them. Cheers, NLeeuw ( talk) 05:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Good day! Please tell me why you are canceling my edits? I will be grateful for an explanation in advance.-- Alex091981 ( talk) 13:14, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Please see WP:SEEALSO for guidance. Mellk ( talk) 13:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Thanks, I read the instructions. I seem to have added everything correctly, according to what was written: One purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics; however, articles linked should be related to the topic of the article.... All the links I have included are related to the topic. I'm not vandalizing, I'm adding links based on my editorial judgment and common sense.-- Alex091981 ( talk) 13:35, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply
You are adding those links to articles that are high-level overviews of those entities. Moreover, the articles you created look like WP:POVFORKs of the respective history articles. If you disagree, you can start a discussion on the talk page, if you so wish. Mellk ( talk) 15:07, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply
