Kopek → Kopeck – Per WP:COMMONNAME "kopeck" is by far the most common spelling in English, TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 03:35, 12 September 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 05:23, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). Dr. Vogel (talk) 17:59, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Based off of NGRAMS of American and British English, the two spellings appear to be used about the same amount. As such, I don't really think there is a WP:COMMONNAME of this (w.r.t. spelling) and I'm contesting this request along the lines of MOS:RETAIN w.r.t. spelling. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 05:43, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- A simple Google search reveals that the word "kopek" refers also to things other than Slavic coins: including a security company, a Turkish film and a pet accessory company. If one peruses relevant and reliable source websites, such as Goznak, the Russian state mint, "kopeck" is the preferred spelling. TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 10:12, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- TheCurrencyGuy This should probably go to a full WP:RM. (I'm personally neutral on the naming.) -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:20, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

- Mild support Kopeck is the headword term in Collins,[1] Random House,[2] and Merriam-Webster[3] dictionaries, although kopek is in Oxford (all also have copeck). Google Ngram[4] does seem to support the move too (and mentions of some pet company are not a significant part of the corpus). —Michael Z. 18:02, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- Mild support per Michael Z. Seems the best solution. Originoa (talk) 06:09, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. Where's the evidence that kopeck is the commoner spelling? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:20, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Name of Soviet/Russian coins is told inprecisely
It matches Belarus one, pronounced as kapiejka. Kopek is more like an altered form in which it is adopted in Asia and Europe. Mentioned denga coin is based off Turkish word and currency and actually usually was equal to one kopek rather being half, varying with time period and region. Polushka was standardized as 1/4 kopek and minted from 1700 to 1916.
Ps. Denga is source of modern Russian word for money, but in plural form. Psychoshy (talk) 07:19, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
