Bessarabia in the Russian Empire → Bessarabia Governorate — All exising articles for the Governorates of the Russian Empire have titles indicating the name of the Gorverorate, regardless of the changes which occured after 1917. There is no reason to have a separate rule for the Bessarabia Governorate.Afil (talk) 01:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC) — Afil ( talk) 01:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

1. Where does Judet come from? It's not in the statute...
2. That's a bad idea. Now it looks like the districts are not named after their main towns, but some other ones. I don't think using contemporary names (used in 1800s) is a problem when the only difference is minor spelling or diacritics. Those where the difference is more pronounced can be mentioned in parentheses nearby (I really don't like slashes)
3. What's up with the number of the districts? Is it 9,8 or 6? -- Illythr ( talk) 00:32, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
I propose to move Bessarabia Governorate to Governorate of Bessarabia. In Russian, and in Romanian (the official languages at the time), the name was Governorate of Bessarabia. The Russian name can be translated as "Governorate of Bessarabia", but equally as "Bessarabian Governorate", but never as the current title. It fits with other names of Russian Governorates in WP: "X Governorate" and "Governorate of X" are both used, depending on which better expresses the meaning in Russian. The same should be here. "X Governorate" is used mostly (almost exclusively) for the cases where X is a city, which is not the case here. Dc76\ talk 09:29, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
