Category:Soviet Russia[edit]

There is already Category:Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. The term "Soviet Russia" is just a synonym for the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. I presume User:Niklitov wants to distinguish it from its successor, a republic within the Soviet Union (in accordance with the Russian Wikipedia's article Российская Социалистическая Федеративная Советская Республика (1917—1922), "Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (1917–1922)" in English).

However, the current title isn't suitable for this job. It's too confusing and misleading people. I suggest to rename this category to Category:Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1917–1922) (a similar name would be fine too). The same applies to its numerous subcategories.

UPD: After a closer look, some categories are really redundant. For example, Category:Soviet Russia by decade, Category:Soviet Russia by year. Now I tend to think it's better to merge it to Category:Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic rather than to create Category:Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1917–1922) or Category:Soviet Russia (1917–1922), etc.--Russian Rocky (talk) 12:18, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Support, I suggest while to put a redirect. Maybe when there are more files, it’s better to create the Category:Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1917–1922). — Niklitov (talk) 01:09, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose Category:Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (1917–1922), as that was not the name it went by during that period (it was the "Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic") Josh (talk) 19:01, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Russian Rocky and Niklitov: Rename Category:Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. The state was first named the "Russian Soviet Republic" but was quickly renamed the "Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic" and carried this name from 1918 through 1922, when it became the "Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic". This category should be for images relating to the period (1917-1922) as a sovereign state prior to the USSR. Josh (talk) 22:55, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your suggestion. Indeed, Category:Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic sounds better.--Russian Rocky (talk) 12:39, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Joshbaumgartner: Apparently no opposition, if you want to make this change. - Themightyquill (talk) 06:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
