Talk:Indict

Merge proposal
In English, this period of 15 years is called an indiction, never an indict. The latter is only a transliteration of the Russian language term. English Wikipedia articles must be named according to the English term if that term exists. Of course, the contents of this article should be merged into indiction. — Joe Kress 07:42, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Merged into Indiction without objection. — Joe Kress 07:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, indict is a common English word (pronounced, the c is silent) that means "to accuse someone of a crime" so cannot be redirected to indiction, but must be redirected to indictment. In the rare circumstance that a native Russian speaker enters indict for indiction, I am adding a dab at the beginning of indictment. — Joe Kress 02:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
