This word is still actively used in Russian language today. The article mentions it fell out of use c. 13 century. 2601:647:C980:7F0:8B2:818B:EC6A:86D (talk) 17:49, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The page in the cited book makes no mention of it from what I can see, do you have a different reference for this? TylerBurden (talk) 16:24, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

in the first paragraph of the assimilation urban section, it references the 944 treaty. I think it should link to Rus'–Byzantine Treaty (945) Roboduckdragon (talk) 19:08, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. - Altenmann >talk 20:50, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 4 August 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Rus' people. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Change "The reason the princely family felt a need for Slavic names was to accommodate the local Slavic nobility", In urban to "The penetration of Slavic names into princely anthroponymicon indicates the beginnings of assimilation processes. Princes of Scandinavian origin started to feel a necessity and found it possible to borrow local names for at least some of their scions thus breaking off with the ancestral tradition of naming" or something similar to show that the royal family was beginning to merge with their eastern slavic peoples local custom. The lack of mention of Sviatoslav as the start of the assmilation process into the slavic is a oversight in the article. RayquayZzZ (talk) 23:53, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a published references that supports you change. - Altenmann >talk 01:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Oh, I guess you were interpreting the refernce^[1] cited there. In my opinion both versions are bad: "the princely family felt a need" and "started to feel a necessity and found it possible" are both far-stretched guessworks based on scarce records on the period. Surely no prince said "I feel a need".

So I concur the text must be rephrased, but in a scholarly way. - Altenmann >talk 01:46, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
