Talk:Federal subjects of Russia

Should stress marks on the map on the names of the subdivisions be used to aid in the pronunciation of the place names when reading the article in English?

Please answer Yes or No or the equivalent with an optional brief statement in the Survey.

This RFC is about whether there should be stress marks on the place names on the map. It is not about the place names anywhere else in the article. 18:14, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Whether in light of MOS:LABEL, WP:NPOV, WP:SYNTH, WP:FRINGE and other relevant policies and guidelines, the article...

1. ...should not describe the party in the infobox and in the article body as ethno-nationalist at all.
2. ...should not describe the party in the infobox and in the article body as ethno-nationalist as a statement of fact, but may in the article body describe such opinions exist in a manner mindfull of NPOV and undue weight.
3. ...can describe the party as ethno-nationalist in the infobox and article as a statement of fact.

2. Or a CCTV image of the murder of Adriana Naghei Ostrowska that AFeatherlessBipehead was adding. (non-free in its home country, Sweden)
