Change "[...] Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad during a state-visit to Syria [...]" to "Syrian politician" (in the image caption at the section "Second term (2001–2006)"). That's a more neutral denomination, used in the Bashar al-Assad article. Europeanism (talk) 14:34, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Typo

“Uzurper” in the infobox should be changed to “usurper” or, preferably, removed entirely. 156.57.44.149 (talk) 02:24, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong name

From the begining of the topic can't be LukashenkA if in rus/belorusian the ending does not change gender in translation in does. So only "LukashenkO" -would be right! 46.216.112.118 (talk) 06:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are wrong, па-беларуску Лукашэнка, с літару А. 46.216.179.131 (talk) 11:07, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we're going this far, we might as well romanise it according to the BGN/PCGN romanization of Belarusian, and naming the article "Aljaksandr Lukašenka" ("Аляксандр Лукашэнка"), which I think is not a bad idea at all. I could understand why this suggestion may be declined though. "Alexander Lukashenko" is simply the most used spelling. Nursultan Malik^(talk) 12:17, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add a pronunciation of Lukashenko's full name in general American English, so that other Anglophones can know how to pronounce the Anglicization of his name from Russian. I believe it would be a good idea to insert it right after the IPA element, i.e. right after "IPA: [ɐlʲɪkˈsandr ɡrʲɪˈɡorʲjɪvʲɪtɕ lʊkɐˈʂɛnkə]".

It would hence look like this: Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko^[a] ^ⓘ (also transliterated as Alyaksandr Ryhoravich Lukashenka;^[b] born 30 August 1954) is a Belarusian politician who has been the president of Belarus since the office's establishment in 1994,^[2] making him the current longest-serving head of state in Europe.^[3]

I would appreciate it if you include my recording in the article. }} Pythagoreanist (talk) 04:33, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already done, IPA pronunciation is in the note after Lukashenko's name. CitrusHemlock 19:03, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
