perestroĭka

Allegedly an alternative spelling of perestroika in English. I won't believe it till I see it cited. (I wouldn't believe it even if I did see it cited but I'd grudgingly accept its having passed CFI.) --Droigheann (talk) 05:55, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

What about these? [1] (1990 book title); [2] (1991 book title); [3] (1992 book title). However, without actually looking at the physical books, it's hard to tell if these are transcription errors. — SMUconlaw (talk) 10:13, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

I've only found (a different edition of) the second [4] but it does look to me like the ĭ may just be a GoogleBooks error - note also that in the target of your link the photo of the book cover and the name provided by Google have different capitalisations. --Droigheann (talk) 14:03, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

I should add that a Quiet Quentin search turned up no actual occurrences of perestroĭka in running text. — SMUconlaw (talk) 16:31, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Quiet Quentin? Who/what is that? --Droigheann (talk) 18:19, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

It's a gadget that helps to search for citations from Google Books. Go to Preferences → Gadgets → Miscellaneous gadgets, tick the box that says "Quiet Quentin, a gadget assisting in finding citations", and then click "Save". This puts a "QQ" tab at the top of your screen. — SMUconlaw (talk) 09:50, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
