Abdication of Nicholas II
What is the source for this English text? Presumably the original was in Russian, so whose English translation is this, and where was it published? --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:42, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Its Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_II_of_Russia#Abdication_(1917). I would publish a link, but from what I know we dont quote other wikiprojects. --Andrew J.Kurbiko (talk) 22:45, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * This text is quoted in numerous respected sources, for example here https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/nov/12/tsar-nicholas-vladimir-lenin-speeches, but its only one of many examples. --Andrew J.Kurbiko (talk) 22:48, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Wikisource requires a reliable published source in public domain for our texts. "Widely quoted" doesn't guarantee that the translation is in the public domain. Without a published source, the text becomes a candidate for deletion. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:54, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
