A fact from Mikhail Borodin appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 January 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I'm not sure about this section, it is quite short. Perhaps combine with the family section and rename it? Family and legacy?
I can combine the sections, but it feels like that would be an unnatural merging, as the two things are not directly related. The "influence" section was inherited from an earlier version of the article. I'm reluctant to label it as "legacy", as that would seemingly refer to the after-effects of his actions in China, and so on. RGloucester — ☎ 17:16, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Infobox: two aliases are listed but not explicitly cited; when did he start using Borodin?
That also interested me. Unfortunately, no reliable sources (that I can find) can provide an indication of when he started to use the "Borodin" name. I have looked through many books on this subject, and all are silent on this matter. I presume records do not exist. I know that he used a different alias, "Kiril", at the Tampere conference, and other aliases at different times, but nothing more. RGloucester — ☎ 17:13, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I made a few minor edits (at least I think minor) as I went through this, please check that these are OK. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 06:34, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
