If yoiu continue reverting my edits, I report you for the voiolation of the WP:OWN policy. First time I was reverted because I assume there was no reference. Now I added text with reference. If you have objections, state them, not play revert wars. - Altenmann >talk 18:27, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The edit summary was "and realize that this essay was *never* meant to advocate and promote *any* usage of stress marks at all" - as clear a statement of ownership as it can be, which is inadmissible in a cooperative project of Wikipedia. If you want to remove something, you have to have stronger objections that WP:IDONTLIKEIT. - Altenmann >talk 18:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the 2021 MoS RfC the vast majority was for retaining stress marks however hard you were pushing your opinion. - Altenmann >talk 18:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please calm down before reporting the non-existent user:Stress marks in East Slavic words, it's not a user talk page, and you don't even say who you're going to report. ;-)

Next, it's not me trying to "remove something", it's you trying to add almost the same amount of text as the whole page had contained before, and you do it to a page that had a perfectly consensus version almost a year ago. Your last edit shifts the focus of the essay from a simple statement that stresses should not be added to a detailed instruction on when they should. References are not really important in such a situation, as the page is not a mainspace article anyway.

By "vast majority" in the RfC you surely mean vast majority of comments (WP:BLUDGEONING) written by just one user who was indeffed and even globally locked as a result of this very issue. Does your browser render <s> there?

And I just wonder why you are so aggressive if we already agree on a most important point (quoting your words): I am personally nearly always against stress marks, because in 99.9% it is original research and wikipedia is not dictionary. — Mike Novikoff 23:15, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I find out pronunciation?

How do I find out the Russian pronunciation of names (like Boris Godunov)? It's nowhere to be found in the article. I think it's fairly important to know. 2A02:A03F:80C1:5C01:1434:72D0:CF2B:8B75 (talk) 12:53, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You mean there is no IPA for a common given name Boris. Well, well. — Mike Novikoff 21:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
