From Servet-i Funun I found an "M. Von Alten" was governor circa 1917 https://archives.saltresearch.org/bitstream/123456789/129156/677/PFSIF9171108A220.jpg Might be good if people are researching the city's past WhisperToMe ( talk) 07:19, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
The name Riga could come from the Nordic word for "rig" "rigge" (“to bind up; wrap around; rig; equip”). — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexanderLaz ( talk • contribs) 23:15, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Why is it so bad? Just compare it to the articles dedicated to Vilnius or Tallinn, or any other EU capital really, it's just so bad, and it doesn't seem like anyone is working on it. Stavanger, a small city that's not even a capital and is nowhere near as historically notable has a much better article written about it. 64.43.50.56 ( talk) 14:10, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
SummerKrut added the Russian spelling in this edit
[1] with the edit summary restored Russian name that was removed for no reason
. There has been a back and forth with Russian/Ukrainian edit summaries that included personal attacks. "Restored" implies that it was recently removed, but I couldn't find an edit that removed it. At least in the last few months, it was never there. I'd appreciate @
SummerKrut showing the edit that removed it as otherwise the edit summary is misleading.

Russian isn't an official language of Latvia. AncientWalrus ( talk) 00:48, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Relevant foreign language names (one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or that is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place) are permitted.. It would be very helpful if you included relevant policy and reasoning in the future when you (re)add the Russian name to other cities. AncientWalrus ( talk) 17:13, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
