Yenisey Governorate ? edit

Isn't the correct name of this governorate YENISEYSK Governorate [see: russ. wikip.] - instead of "Yenisey Governorate". Name giving place was the town Yeniseysk, not river Yenisey. --129.187.244.28 (talk) 06:59, 30 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Actually, both Yenisey and Yeniseysk are used in English academic literature to refer to this governorate, and the usage is approximately equal. Technically, however, "Yeniseysk" is more correct; that's a good point. I'll move this article now. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:05, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

It's YENISEY Governorate, not Yeniseysk edit

Just look at the map: "Du gouvernement de YENISSEY". The governorate clearly named after "Yenissey" river, not the "Yenisseisk" town (shown under 58° of latitude).
