this following section from the etymology section has the wrong year. Currently it says: "The name fell out of use in the 15th century, but was reintroduced in the early 20th century"

according to source #47 soviet officials reintroduced it in 1930, which means it should say 18th century (not 19th, reminder that year 0 was the start of the 1st century). The correction should be:

"The name fell out of use in the 15th century, but was reintroduced in the early 18th century" 155.137.27.218 (talk) 20:35, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: I'm afraid you've gotten things confused. 1930 is in fact in the 20th century. Day Creature (talk) 00:53, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It says the article is from 2011 when it is actually from 2021 99.8.134.19 (talk) 03:42, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Fixed. Yue🌙 20:53, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
