Talk:Cherkasy

message: Dear Folks,
It would appear that the population figures for the city of Cherkasy, Ukraine, found under: Wiki > Cherkasy > Demographics , from 1970 to the present are missing their trailing zeros; thus reading ten times smaller that the accurate figures. This seems to be a typo, which i discovered during my studies of Chernobyl, as Cherkasy lies down river from Chernobyl.  -Have not modified the Wiki entry for them yet, as my wifi connection is thin.
I'm also interested if there have been any radiation studies this far from Chernobyl.
very best regards,

replies: text: Yes, thank you for alerting about commas. I'll change them ASAP. Asking your question: yes, the whole territory of Ukraine is (or at least was) monitored for radiactive pollution. Study links on disaster page for maps and textual mentions. If you're asking about actual pollutions as far as around Cherkasy: yes, there may be small "spots" of pollution here and there in Ukraine. If you're asking whether it is safe to visit such spots shortly, I'd say "yes". Ukrained 18:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Standard Wikipedia practice in eastern Ukrainian, where as many as half of the population speaks Russian natively, is to include the Russian variants on placenames.  No citation is necessary any more than a citation is necessary for placing the Ukrainian variant in placenames where the majority of the community speaks Russian as their first language (as in the Crimea).  The citation tags were nothing more than WP:POINTy editing by an anonymous editor who is pushing an anti-Russian Ukrainian POV.  Citations are not necessary for these things.  --Taivo (talk) 02:14, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah right.  Who created this policy?  Should be only one spelling an it is Cherkasy with one S.  Rusification of Ukraine continues...  --68.36.49.223 (talk) 21:36, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: It just means that you don't know anything about either actual language use in Ukraine or Wikipedia policy.  Russian variants are more commonly used in eastern Ukraine than Ukrainian ones and Wikipedia is not bound to any country's politically motivated language policy.  --Taivo (talk) 01:04, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone from Lvov might not know that there were English language names for many places in Ukraine, and might therefore honestly believe that a transliteration from the Ukrainian language was the only appropriate name to use for those places when writing English.  This does not apply to someone whose first language is English.--Toddy1 (talk) 16:45, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: The exact origins of the name are unknown, but a number of plausible theories that exist do trace it back to Circassians, in one way or another (not necessarily directly).—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); November 20, 2015; 14:17 (UTC)
This is interesting, the name is so similar, but they are very distant! I'd like to read those theories but I found nothing, could you help me? Pietro Bosi (talk) 22:00, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of name and relation to [[Circassia]] 

message: I'm removing this part of the entry:
"This can be explained by the fact that the city was forming under the Russian (and later Soviet) rule, which is why some periods in the life of Cherkasy still remain undiscovered (a lot of facts were hidden, documents and material proof was destroyed)."
The statement is clearly not neutral and unwarranted (no citation is provided in favour of this assumed Cherkas[s]y-oriented plot).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lancioni (talk • contribs) 19:26, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
