[edit] Welcome

Hello, Oleg Kikta, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

If you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to anounce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.

Finally, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

Again, welcome!

PS: You read it! Kyiv is Ukrainian version. Kiev is Russian. Why we Ukrainian should follow Russian spelling?

[edit] Kiev/Kyiv

About the name of the Capital of Ukraine, please read the article's talk and archives as well as WP:NC(UE). Thanks, -Irpen 03:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

PS: You read it! Kyiv is Ukrainian version. Kiev is Russian. Why we Ukrainian should follow Russian spelling? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Oleg Kikta (talk • contribs).

No, Kiev is English and that it coinsides with Russian is a separate issue. Modern Major English language media and English Encyclopedias use Kiev. If and when this chanes, we will change the usage in Wikipedia. As of now, the policy states:

If you are talking about a person, country, town, movie or book, use the most commonly used English version of the name for the article, as you would find it in other encyclopedias and reference works. This makes it easy to find, and easy to compare information with other sources

--Irpen 03:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

The usage of other encyclopedias and major English media has been analyzed at the article's talk and archives. Please read it. Now, if you are really interested in improving the article about the city, please add more information about its history, geography, economy, transportation, etc. The article could clearly use help from more editors. I hope your goal here is expanding articles rather than change names left and right. --Irpen 04:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Oleg Kikta, I wanted to let you know that I recently reverted the changes you made to Kyiv. Irpen is correct about the wp policies which direct editors to use the most commonly used English version of the name. In this case, the most commonly used form of Київ in English is Kiev. Simply changing Kiev to Kyiv is not going to accomplish anything. As long as Kiev remains common among English speakers, Kyiv will usually be reverted at en.wikipedia.

Please do not take this personally; this is not about which version is better. I, as well, invite your constructive contributions to Ukraine related articles. You may be interested in this. Feel free to drop by and leave a message at my talk page if I can be of any help.--Riurik (discuss) 04:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

PS:

Kyiv and Kiev reflect the divergence of the Ukrainian and Russian languages from the single Old East Slavic form *Kijevъ (spelled Києвъ or Кієвъ). According to the legendary account in the Primary Chronicle, the city is named after Kyi (Кий), who is said to have founded the city with his brothers Shchek and Khoryv, and their sister Lybid'.

On October 3, 2006, the United States Federal Government changed its official spelling of the city name to Kyiv. [1]

Some proponents of the spelling Kyiv take exception with the use of Kiev as reflecting imposed Russification in Ukraine, and consider it inappropriate since the country's independence in 1991.
