A fact from Pogroms in Ukraine appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on October 31, 2007.

[edit] POV on Petlura's role

This page is extremely biased and does not take a NPOV. This is unfortunate since it is clear that the contributers are well aware of it and have done so on purpose. In Petliura's page there has been a long process of trying to come up with a reasonable description that will include all sides of the historical debate. Unfortunately, the contributers of this page chose NOT to use this information that is available for them and create a biased version.

This page is full of historical inaccuracies and Ukranian nationalist propaganda. Lenny. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.103.70 (talk) 12:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

What's worse, Main Page now says: "Did you know?":

...that the Ukrainian pogroms in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917 were falsely attributed by the communists to Symon Petlura, despite his efforts to save Jews?

But, to put it mildly, that's far from settled. GregorB 13:57, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Gentlemen. These findings are based on recently accessed official documents and the recently published research by noted Ukrainian historian Dr Serhiychuk in Kyiv. All that is required is to find scholarly articles that discuss Dr Serhiychuk's latest findings, and summarize their conclussions here.

The map of eastern Europe has changed. History is the football of the victors. Now some of those victors are not there and exclusive access to these documents and the truth is finally getting out. Bandurist 14:56, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

If there are modern sources disputing Serhiychuk's findings, they should certainly be added. By the same token, it would be nice to see positive reviews - or just reviews - of his works.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  17:38, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
