Scope[edit]

This article seems to be attempting to focus on churches in what is now Russia specifically (from Kievan Rus' period all the way to 18th century) but nevertheless mentions modern Ukrainian (Chernihiv, Kyiv) and Belarusian (Polatsk) cities, and has an image of the Piatnytska Church in Chernihiv. The linked article at Russian language Wikipedia is on churches of Kievan Rus' — which is reflected in the title. Meanwhile, the title of the Engish language Wikipedia does not 100% match with the content. So what should it be: Russian church architecture (+ deletion of small parts of the article) or Church architecture of Kievan Rus' (+ essentially an overhaul of the entire article, with the deletion of info on post-Rus' churches but addition of info on other regions of the Rus')? The first option seems the most sensible. Shwabb1 ⟨ta co⟩ 16:41, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
