Hi there, I noticed that you made some changes to this page Maria Drokova. Could you please also revert this change and move the page back to its previous title? This name - Maria Drokova - is the one most commonly used in the media, and all wiki links also point to it. I believe you have sufficient permissions to make this change. Thanks.TommieKunst (talk) 00:12, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Sorry I don't know enough Russian to say for certain whether they are better known as Drokova or Bucher. Ymblanter sorry to ping you, but you're the only editor I know who speaks natively. The article was boldly moved from Maria Drokova to Masha Bucher, the difference seems to be due to marriage. Any opinion? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 00:34, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

She is still best overwhelmingly known as Drokova, and mostly due to her pro-Putin activities back in Russia. I will move it back, if someone wants a new name it should go through a RM. Ymblanter (talk) 06:20, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks Ymblanter. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 13:36, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, ActivelyDisinterested and Ymblanter, appreciate your quick response!TommieKunst (talk) 17:17, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

I’m inviting you to a content discussion about the Lion and Sun designs in the infobox provided in the article. The question is about the use of historically confirmed versus currently reconstructed designs in the absence of secondary sources.

Your input would be appreciated.

Thank you.Shfarshid (talk) 12:37, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Regarding that recent Blue Voter thing at RS/N, I'm smelling socks. Asked the editor who formed the RfC to point me to prior discussions under temporary usernames and they declined. There used to be an account User:Oiloiloil but they haven't been active since 2007. Simonm223 (talk) 15:49, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Also the prior Oiloiloil account was only really used to replace Harvey Milk on a list of LGBTQ people with Mark Millar (who is not, to my knowledge, gay). Simonm223 (talk) 15:51, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

You probably shouldn't ask a registered account for it's prior TAs, as it would then be possible to link IP addresses to the account. The Milk / Miller thing sounds like petty vandalism, I suggest giving them a warning. I've closed the RFC on technical grounds (no prior discussion on RSN), they can always start a new section if the want to discuss the source. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 15:56, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

That's funny. I assumed the temporary account thing, that was rolled out while I was on wikibreak, was to protect the IPs of temporary users from casual scrutiny. Oh well. And thanks. Simonm223 (talk) 16:05, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Have a look at WP:TAIV. There's a user right that gives qualifying editors the ability to see the underlying IP address, you probably meet the criteria for granting. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 16:14, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
