Hi! I have an issue with one of my nominations. I nominated 'Yekatarina II Alekseyevna | Catherine II of Russia/Stanisław August Poniatowski' under Historical RPF and it has been changed to Russian Royalty RPF. I can see how Historical RPF might have been considered too broad a category, though I chose it because I was still considering other historical ships in other centuries). I would not be complaining about it being changed to 18th Century CE RPF or Eastern European Historical RPF or Central and Eastern European Historical RPF or even European Royalty RPF. However, I do have an objection to it being Russian Royalty RPF. Poniatowski was was not Russian royalty, nor even Russian at all, so this is rather misleading. Moreover, during his reign, Poland-Lithuania was partitioned and part of it taken over by Russia, so the suggestion that the area was in some way rightfully Russian before this occurred gives rise to an immediate historical-political double take.
