[edit] re: Zimmermann Telegram
Here are some sources showing January 19:
- http://europeanhistory.about.com/cs/americainww1/p/przimmermantele.htm
- http://members.aol.com/TeacherNet/WWI.html#Zimmerman
- http://net.lib.byu.edu/~rdh7/wwi/1917/zimmerman.html
- http://www.loyno.edu/history/journal/1990-1/guichet.htm
However, there are other sources out there that say January 16. Therefore, I recommend more research is needed to get all of the pages across the wikis accurate. Personally, I suspect that the 16th was when Zimmerman wrote and sent it, and the 19th was when the German Minister to Mexico received it. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] About Shakhtar
In Ukrainian it's name is Shakhtar Donets'k (Шахтар (Донецьк)), in Russian: Shakhtyor Donyetsk (Шахтёр (Донецк)).--Ahonc (Talk) 22:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. I will add to the second part of the question, about the pronunciation of the name Donetsk. In Ukrainian it is [dɔˈnetsʲk], in Russian [dʌˈɲɛtsk], all the sounds are relatively short (I think even the stressed one), there are no diphthongs like "ei" in either language.--Oleksii
- Thank you again. Havelock 17:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
