[edit] Zapovit'
The translation that stood until 25 November seemed to scan and rhyme. The one we have since doesn't, nor is it very good English. As a word-for-word, it's fine, but to me half the appeal of Shevchenko is the elegant, understated way he uses the common language in the common rhythms of folk poetry. How would everyone feel about changing back to the versified version? As an alternative, would anyone like to collaborate on a new, made-to-order verse translation? Comments from User:Shrooms546 are especially welcomed, if unlikely. eritain 06:54, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia
Added Trivia, I thought it was cute (new order is one of my fave bands). Mariah-Yulia 04:47, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Brotherhood of Sts Cyril & Methodius
Subtelny says he and Kulish were only loosely associated. Magocsi says there is some doubt whether they were members. I can pull out the references and quotes if you like, but for now, I'll just remove the fact tag. —Michael Z. 2006-04-02 19:26 Z
[edit] Shevchenko Park claim
According to maps of Kharkiv (Google Map of Kharkiv), the Shevchenko Park is less than 1 km², which doesn't beat the 20 or so parks listed in Urban park, and these are only some of the largest park in North America only. I've removed the invalid claim that it's one of the largest urban parks in the world. --Romanski 13:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Precentor?
Was he taught by a dyak? If so, I just realized that we don't even have an article for such a position. Dyak doesn't even mention the position at all, and cantor is woefully inadequate.--tufkaa 22:32, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yup, you are fully correct. I just did not want to create a one sentence article about dyak. If you can, please do so. Regards, --Riurik 15:09, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Monuments and Memorials
There is an interesting statue of Shevchenko in a toga in Rome (at the Ukrainian Catholic University/seminary there). If anyone had a photo, this might make an interesting addition.
What sort of citation is needed for the note that many cities in Ukraine were replacing statues of Lenin with Shevchenko? It is quite common in western Ukraine; the statue of Lenin was pulled down in Lviv, and a new statue of Shevchenko placed in the main central square. Most towns I have visited in western Ukraine no longer have Lenin statues, and have replaced them with Shevchenko statues. --lubap 2 February 2007
[edit] Winnipeg Monument
If memory serves me correctly, there is a statue of him at the Winnipeg Legislature? Anyone confirm?
[edit] Stolen Monument
I suggest to move information on the accident with the monument in Oakville, Ontario to the article Oakville, Ontario. There is info on the monument already (Was. Somebody nicely removed it. Will restore.). I find in a bit inappropriate to keep it here - the main article on poet where only a general type information should be kept. Any objections?--Bryndza 19:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am not sure this accident even belongs to Oakville, Ontario article but not this one for sure. If someone ever writes a separate article about the monument, that would be the place for the info. --Irpen 23:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
This is true. It's rather curiosity. BTW, I have my own photo of the stolen monument. I would upload it and contribute to the article shall anybody start it. I wonder how it can be called?--Bryndza 23:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Taras Shevchenko monument in Oakville, Ontario could be used for the article's title should anyone be interested to write an article. If a better title pops up later, the article could be moved. If we have this article, the monument is definitely worthy of its own article. --Irpen 00:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC) IM IN HIS FAMILY!
[edit] Difference between English version and Russian version
Hi I'm now responsible in translating the article in ZH version and mainly rely on EN version. I know chuchu Russian and learn something quite strange that the RU article doesn't mention about the freedom bought by Karl Briullov in 1838 but studying in Vilnius University. I stop reading farther and just want to know what makes the difference. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 13:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
