message: Removed.
Even after the enacting of the decree, Lukashenko has referred to the anthem in various speeches to the nation. This comment was made in a New Years Day address in 2004, referring to the Athens Olympic Games: "We believe that our athletes will excel at the main sport event of every four years – the Olympic Games, and the Belarusian anthem will time and again be heard in ancient Athens."

message: If there's a comma in the title (My, Belarusy), as appears in the opening paragraph, shouldn't we add it to the title and every time we mention the name? --Rain74 12:28, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's probably only for the Russian text, since the UN source I have, it uses no comma. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comma 

message: The "Nations in Transit" thing mentioned in the document isn't really a UN document. Yes, the article is on the UN website, but I bet it's just hosted there for one of the NGOs the UN consults with. It's originally from Freedom House, a human rights watchdog; check it out at http://www.freedomhouse.org/template.cfm?page=17&year=2006. Thus, it's pretty clearly a biased source (one I happen to agree with, but biased nonetheless), and that should probably be made clear in the article. Quoting the UN gives it an imprimatur of officialness or universality that's probably unwarranted. 140.247.154.80 18:23, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it from the UN to the Freedom House. There are a lot of organizations who oppose many of the things Belarus did, including the changing of the national symbols. I just wanted to document some that I have been able to find and isn't from some "fly by night" internet group. I use the Freedom House a lot on Belarusian articles that I write, mainly to see what the other side thinks. Thanks for pointing that out. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 21:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have some resources about the article, and most of the text on the resources isn't covered well on the article. To prove my point, you should try translating one of my sources.A good example of an article about an anthem that is well covered, but still hasn't attained the FA, is this, and this.It has a clear amount of reference and information about the creation and the history of the article, and also the usage of the anthem in several circumstances.Jeromi Mikhael (talk) 09:12, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with 's analysis three years ago that this article is not comprehensive enough. The creative process of the song's creation is not explained, the "National anthem proposals" section is underdeveloped, and there is no analysis of the musical structure or lyrics. Jeromi, would you be interested in bringing this back to FA standards or bringing it to FAR? Z1720 (talk) 14:48, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Both of you added some significant text after I noticed this article. Are either of you interested in addressing the above concerns? I am happy to conduct a more thorough review if you so wish. Z1720 (talk) 15:25, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: All I did was add the Anthem used by the opposition in the 2020 protests as am alternative anthem proposal, which, in my opinion, marks that this Article is in need of expansion. Glide08 (talk) 16:20, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  are you interested in bringing this to WP:FAR? Editors can only nominate five articles at a time at FAR and I am at my limit. Also, having a nominator who has edited the article gives the nomination more weight. I am happy to answer any questions and comment on the nomination once it is posted.

message: Before 2002, did Belarus have a national anthem (either officially or de facto)? The way the article is worded right now seems to suggest it didn't. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 16:52, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :My Belarusy's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
