Article title

So, why is this article titled "Lenine Raion" and the article on the identically named district of Sevastopol is under Lenin Raion???—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 27, 2014; 21:19 (UTC)

Well, this one (Lenine Raion) is named this way because of its relation to the town of Lenine (or Lenino in Russian). Somewhere along the line it was decided to shorten the district titles to reflect the cities/towns they are named after instead of the traditional -skyi ending. § DDima 22:10, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not the smartest decision, methinks, and one that's bound to bite you in the ass more than once in the long run :) But thanks for the explanation!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); June 28, 2014; 03:56 (UTC)
