Bookworm857158367's severe WP:OWN issues edit
Reverting you again as nothing I removed had a citation, and I speak Russian so you are incorrect-what you believe is "Russian" is English translation. Also, I've seen your edit history on this article, you need to check your WP:OWN issues.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 02:51, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Take a look at the body of the article for the citation. Daria was translated to the English Dorothy for some reason by Russian aristocratic families. Dolly is the nickname. This isn't only an article about Russian usage. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 02:59, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- You are now edit-warring and I would be happy to report you. "Take a look at the body of the article for the citation." is the standard cry of users who want to keep garbage, and isn't good enough. The claim needs to be cited where the claim stands. You're the one making the claim about Russian usage, which you clearly speak from lack of experience, so you should back off. Shall we take this to 3O?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:15, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Give it a rest. You are the one who removed information that was cited and who is engaging in an editing war. The book by Yonge is in the public domain and is listed in the references to the article. According to Yonge: the Russian Darija is regarded as a translation (of Dorothy.)" The page number is 102, though I suspect the page numbers vary depending on the edition. Etymologically, the names aren't related but they were linked. In the novel Anna Karenina, Princess Darya Oblenskaya is called Dolly. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 03:29, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

- Good job, snowflake-now, why isn't the page number in that citation? Per WP:TRIVIA, not every spelling and permutation is notable, even if it is referenced. Also, by your own admission, "Etymologically, the names aren't related but they were linked", hence it does not belong in this article. You can make the case that it belongs in Anna Karenina, but it doesn't belong here. Now I am clearly not a vandal, and I've got Wikipedia policy on my side. Is it really that important to your fragile ego that you are the sole arbiter of what goes on this page?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:46, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- It's debatable whether or not in belongs in the article. Names that were linked as Daria and Dorothy/Dolly were probably came to share a meaning even if the origins are different. They belong in the article. I don't think it was ever an absolute requirement that page numbers be listed or inline citations given -- not at the time it was written, in any event. The other names that you removed were listed in the name book that is also included under references, under the listing for Daria. All of the information was included in the references given. Your tone is insulting. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 03:56, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
