Ukraine rulers article

What is the reason behind deleting improvements in the Ukraine rulers article? Were they harming? Because without them article only looks more bland and unfinished. 46.211.127.94 (talk) 07:15, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

>do not see how this would matter in this case

Simply put, Runglish is not only about "nadsat" or the macaronic language of Brighton Beach. It's also a name for Russians' flawed English. I listed one more flaw that can be found in this kind of Runglish.

(Not contesting the "unsourced" part though. It would ridiculously difficult to obtain a source - it would take a meta-analysis of - literally - over 9000 pages on, say, Livejournal and "old" YT to see whether people from Russia posting in English with this very flaw - writing "congolese" or "albanian" without the proper capitalization. I only can say "конголезец" or "албанец" respectively would be un-capitalised in Russian) 81.89.66.133 (talk) 09:07, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I was referring to the lowercase in Russian. But this sounds anecdotal. Per WP:V this should be supported by a reliable source. If there is no source that mentions this, then probably it is not worth mentioning. Mellk (talk) 10:02, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

I've been researching the topic. Didn't find much on flawed English speech. However, I've found something polar opposite. There are plenty of online discussions regarding people who would post on forums/microblogs/blogs in Russian and then flub up a little by spelling a nationality with the upper-case. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 13:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:RS it must be cited to reliable sources. I do not think we can cite online discussions here. Mellk (talk) 13:34, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
