[edit] Odessa or Odesa

According to the Ukrainian spelling, the name is Odesa, not the Russian name for it, and so it should be changed to that, just like Kyiv and Kiev —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adolf23653 (talk • contribs) 05:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I would agree. The use of Odessa (the former name from the Russian version) is as illogical as the use of Bombay (now redirecting in Wikipedia to Mumbai). I understand that there are lots of issues with Russian versus Ukraninian nationalism in the choice of name (just look at the rows that have gone on over Kyiv or Kiev!), but some sort of consistency throughout Ukraine would be welcome. In nearly all other cases, the Ukranian version is now being used for oblasts in Wikipedia. Skinsmoke (talk) 18:36, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Latin Europe

Hello Odessa Oblast! There is a vote going on at Latin Europe that might interest you. Please everyone, do come and give your opinion and votes. Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 21:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should be Odesa Oblast, not Odessa oblast with two ss.

Ok, I can agree on the name of the city Odesa that is spelled as Odessa in English. But why Odesska oblast spells with two ss? I think it should be change to Odesa Oblast with one s. --68.44.228.126 (talk) 15:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

  • Support I believe that the name should be changed from Odessa Oblast to Odesa Oblast, since this is the correct translation from Ukrainian to English. And Ukrainian is the only official language in Ukraine. --Oleg Kikta (talk) 20:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Per WP:NC and per similar move request at Talk:Kiev Oblast. Odessa is the established English name of the city, and the correct Ukrainian version would be Odeska Oblast, thus Odesa Oblast is WP:NOR and silly because it breaks consistency with the parent article of the Oblast's admin centre. --Kuban Cossack 19:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
