WW II -- Great Patriotic War -- Correction needed

[edit]

The reference to the war and to the Battle of Rostov is mistaken in this context, since it relates to the other Rostov, Rostov-on-Don. It would seem that the Germans (who were approaching from the West and South) never got significantly past Moscow, much less 100 mi. or more to the Northeast. So what is there to say about Rostov's history in WW II instead? Mrnatural (talk) 06:54, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rostofa

[edit]

Somebody knows about name Rostofa? It is correct? I never see this information, only here.

This is from Tatiana Jackson's book about Norse place-names in Russia. I may supply appropriate citation when I get home. Anyway, I plan to rewrite this article sooner or later. Cheers, Ghirla -трёп- 09:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't understand the reason you put here the name of the town in Old Norse. Why not Swahili? If you think that town was founded by scandinavians, please, prove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.165.173.131 (talk) 17:51, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

At Beloozero were Vepsäs, At Rostov ozero Merjas and also at Kleshino ozero are Merjas too. And along the Oka River, where it flows to Volga are their own language talking Muromas, and also their own language talking Tseremisses and Mordovians.

Slavonic language speakers in Rus are Poljans, Drevljans, Polotskians, Dregovitshes, Severjanes and Buzans. The Buzans have received their name from that they formely used to live along Buga River, but later they have been started to called Volhynians. The Novgorodians are added into the list only later in later versions.

Others, who pay tributes for Rus are Tshuds, Merjas, Vepsäs, Muromas, Tseremisses, Mordvas, Permas, Petshoras, Hämes, Littis, Zimigolas, Korsas, Narovas, Liivis. All these talk their own languages, they are the descendats of Jaafet, and who lives in the northern countries.

Source for Scythians?

[edit]

The article says " Scythians also settled there.", but there is no source provided for this claim. Rostov is in the forest-zone, and outside of the known settlement areas of the Scythians. Is it possible that the author of this part mistaken info about Rostov-on-Don to info about Rostov? Scythians were abundant around the Sea of Azov.

Requested move 11 September 2023

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus established to move Rostov to Rostov, Yaroslavi Oblast, and redirect Rostov to Rostov-on-Don per PRIMARY. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 00:54, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]


– There's a good chance that this isn't the primary topic; see Rostov-on-Don. Move the dabpage to the basename per WP:NOPRIMARY. 162 etc. (talk) 06:02, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support, as this is an improvement. But the subject is also known as Rostov the Great/Rostov Velikii/Rostov Velikiy (Ngram). And I would definitely consider Rostov-on-Don as the primary topic for the name on its own.  —Michael Z. 14:28, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No objection to making Rostov a primary redirect to Rostov-on-Don, if other editors support that. 162 etc. (talk) 15:36, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Rostov-on-Don as PRIMARY.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:37, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 26 November 2023

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. Based on arguments, more users support the move than oppose it, and their arguments seem to be more persuasive and supported by evidence. However, the consensus is not very clear or strong, as there are also valid arguments against the move.

I'd suggest to consider the possibility of finding a compromise solution, such as using a natural disambiguator or a hatnote, that can satisfy both sides. (closed by non-admin page mover) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 08:07, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Rostov, Yaroslavl OblastRostov – The previous move mightily screwed upo Wikipedia. Rostov-on-Don and Rostov are completely different names and should not be confused. For starters, Rostov is 500 years older than Rostov-on-Don and the move disruptedd a huge number of historical articles: Rostov has half-ythousand of incoming links. The move also introduced confusion it lots of bio articles. Rostov the Great and similar (screwed-up by renaming bot) is a nickname to historically great Rostov, not Rostov-on-Don. etc. This is a huge mistake to muve page with long-established usage and with huge number of links. - Altenmann >talk 21:25, 26 November 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 15:44, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. Ymblanter (talk) 22:22, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
oppose not convinced that rostov-on-don isn't the primary topic. It is a larger more prominent city and the admin centre of the rostov oblastblindlynx 22:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It does not matter that it is larger: it has a very different name. And you have yet to prove that it is commonly called as "Rostov". - Altenmann >talk 23:02, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're the one proposing this move not me. But the Rostov-on-Don article uses 'Rostov-on-Don' and 'Rostov' interchangeable; The oblast isn't named the 'Rostov-on-Don Oblast; obviously a search won't be particularly useful but news agency use just 'rostov' in recent articles clearly about rostov-on-don [1], [2], [3]blindlynx 00:43, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would rather see how the literature overall refers to the city rather than recent breaking news reports (WP:RECENTISM) which still refer to the city as Rostov-on-Don initially in those examples. Mellk (talk) 20:38, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
i'm having a hard time finding good data on this simply because searches for 'rostov' lead to a lot of hits for Rostov-on-Don. Advice would be appreciated—blindlynx 00:29, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Almost nowhere you'll find Rostov-on-Don being referred as Rostov. If Reuters did it, it's the jornalist's fault. Despite not being the centre of the oblast, Rostov has a great importance among Russian cities, being a spiritual and cultural tourist destination. Even in Russian Wikipedia the article is Ростов, albeit its southern counterpart being searched twice as much. ―Eduardogobi (talk) 20:05, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Both this article and the one in russian say that 'Ростов Великий' 'great rostov' is used colloquially...but this isn't russian wiki so all this has limited bearing on this discussion—blindlynx 00:34, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why not move to Rostov Veliky or Rostov the Great?[4] Natural disambiguation is best.  —Michael Z. 00:33, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
