  • Support per nomination. Appears to be an uncontroversial technical request, although having consensus on the record often forestalls future argumentation. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 05:55, 21 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Not a substitute for specific references and sources edit

I sometimes see users adding a link to this page in a "Further reading" section in unsourced articles. I'd just like to note: linking to this page or Bibliography of Russian history (1223–1613) is not a substitute for specific references and sources to support specific claims in specific articles. In other words, this does not avoid the editor's WP:BURDEN. It's also not to be casually thrown around as something the reading might be interested in if they run into a random article like Yuri II of Vladimir.
