About article renaming edit
- (1) 137 000 vs. 510 000;
- (2) This act was accepted as reaction to Magnitsky's Law; about Dima Yakovlev (en: Chaise Harrison) who has tragicly lost 4 years ago (!!!) remembered already during law consideration; the name of tragicly lost child cynically was used by propagandists - initiators of this project, such name isn't neutral. --Scorpion-811 (talk) 22:22, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
- Support renaming the article.--Psychiatrick (talk) 22:07, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
The Magnitsky law is one source of context, but on the other hand the fact of Russian children dying in their adoptive parents' care and American courts acquitting them has been a scandal in Russia for years. Maybe this naming convention is not formally spelled out in policy, but United States laws always use the formal name, even if "the name of tragicly lost child cynically was used by propagandists", like the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, etc. Shrigley (talk) 17:06, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- The Law has the official Russian name “On measures against persons involved in abuse of fundamental human rights and freedoms including those of Russian citizens.” The name is too long to be used as the heading of the article on Wikipedia. So the corresponding Russian article has the shorter name “Federal Law of 28 December 2012 № 272-FZ” (Russian: Федеральный закон от 28 декабря 2012 года № 272-ФЗ), not “Dima Yakovlev Law” (Russian: Закон Димы Яковлева).--Psychiatrick (talk) 19:15, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
