Obsko-Irtyshskaya oblast

[edit]

Is this the correct name/transliteration - given that a websearch gives only this WP page and derivatives thereof? Jackiespeel (talk) 17:03, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It' a correct transliteration of the Russian name, yes. However, in the English Wikipedia, names of higher-level entities are usually not straight transliterations (as it's not a practice most English sources adopt), so "Ob-Irtysh Oblast" would be a better choice.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 19, 2018; 14:54 (UTC)
