Russian military deception

[edit]

Hi, just to let you know I've undone your unexpected move of this article. Maskirovka exists as a redirect already, so there is nothing to gain from the move. The topic is about military deception in Russia (including when it was part of the Soviet Union, but not limited to that). Maskirovka is a tricky name because it has had various meanings over the years, and has now started to be used popularly in the West, for example by the press, with a meaning that is close to pejorative - nasty sneaky Russian trickiness, roughly. Several editors have therefore stated (very firmly indeed) that Maskirovka was not a satisfactory name, nor did it give the article focus; and after months-long reflection, I have to agree with them that a plain descriptive title is better. Apart from anything else, the Russian word forced the article into justifications of the choice and endless analyses of its various meanings: all that complexity melts away with the plain "Russian military deception", a huge advantage. If you want to discuss this further, I'm happy to do so on the article's talk page, but there really is no future in making undiscussed moves. Thank you for your understanding.

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Raubritter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wares. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
