Main spelling
[edit]@Theknightwho Hi, why did you rename this without even leaving a redirect? The hyphenated spelling seems significantly more common based on a Google Books search (and reflects the capitalization of Sovietize). Einstein2 (talk) 13:44, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Einstein2 The citation we have is for resovietize, and from a cursory look I got the opposite impression (but I was on my phone and didn't look very hard!). I recreated the hyphenated spelling as an alt form, but I moved the page in order to keep the history. Theknightwho (talk) 13:46, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- resovietize, re-Sovietize, resovietization, re-Sovietization at Google Ngram Viewer only finds the hyphenated spelling of both the verb and noun but I guess it's also fine to keep the lowercase spellings as the main forms. I've recreated re-Sovietize as an alt form since it was deleted during the renaming. Einstein2 (talk) 14:35, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Einstein2 Apologies - I could've sworn I made a new page for the alt form, but I was trying to synchronise it with desovietize (et al.) so might have missed it. Theknightwho (talk) 14:39, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
