Generally, transliterations often differ from language to language, Esperanto being a good example why: the Esperanto alphabet does not contain the letter "y" :) --

OTOH, if you look at the famous scientific paper W. M. Connolley and J. C. King, 1996, A Modelling and Observational Study Of East Antarctic Surface Mass Balance. JGR, 101, D1, p1335-1343 you'll find it spelt Mirnyj :-). I'm happy with Mirny though - I'd just be interested in how it does transliterate

I had a look at
Romanization of Russian and
Wikipedia:Naming conventions: according to the
modified BGN/PCGN transliteration currently endorsed by the
Wikipedia naming conventions policy, "–ый" endings become "-y". Other transliteration systems apparently use "-yǐ" (ALA-LC), "-yy" (formal BGN/PCGN), or "-yj" (GOST 16876-71 and ISO 9). Google says the latter two endings are in use for the station, so I guess it might be a good idea to at least create redirects. However, I wouldn't give Google too much authority here, because in numbers, "Mirny station" only gets 602 hits, "Mirnyy station" 139 and "Mirnyj station" 162. --

Both of those spellings were taken from the Law paper I reference on the
SovAE page. I wouldn't regard them as authoritative by any means :)) I say we go by the current WP naming convention. -

Fair use rationale for Image:Stantsija mirnyy.jpg
Image:Stantsija mirnyy.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under
fair use but there is no
explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the
boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with
fair use.
Please go to
the image description page and edit it to include a
fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at
Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on
criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
