Move of page edit

The move of Dobrodeia of Kiev to Dobrodeia of Kyiv was reverted. The reason is the following: the articles about people of the royal family of Kievan Rus' must have the same spelling as the kingdom of Kievan Rus' and its regent, the Grand Prince of Kiev. And as you can see, they are spelled "Kiev", not "Kyiv". This is an historical issue. The modern city of Kyiv has nothing to do with this issue, its a question of the historical kingdom of of Kievan Rus', which excisted before both Ukraine as well as Russia. All members of the families of the Grand Prince of Kiev must have their names spelled as his title, and his title must be spelled as the title of the article of Kievan Rus'. To change the names of those articles, you must have a discussion about it there. That's how category name changes work in Wikipedia. The move of this article was performed without being discussed, and it could not have been performed without changing all the other articles as well, and that can't be done without discussions on the pages of Grand Prince of Kiev and Kievan Rus'. That's why the name change was reverted. --Aciram (talk) 12:33, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
