Hoi My point is that it is not a given that we should follow any WIkipedia for anything. Also the point of romanisation of Russian is not for the benefit of Russian speakers, it is for the speakers of English. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, Let us be clear that what whatever Wikipedia does is for that Wikipedia to decide. It does not follow automatically that it must be the label for that language.. Thanks, GerardM
This is fine with me, but using ISO is really really weird for any Russian speaker. And I would like to see any reason why a romanization chosen for English labels on Wikidata should be deliberately different from English Wikipedia.
