Talk:Tskhinvali

message: Russo-Georgian War section: Vladimir Putin was not president of Russia directly before and during the conflict as mentioned in the article, the order to counterattack was given by then-president Dmitry Medvedev. Also, Russian peacekeepers were present in the city and surrounding area since 1992. The death of Russian peacekeepers as well as dual Russian citizens among the civilian population during the initial Georgian artillery attack is what prompted a full-scale military response from the Russian Federation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DragonNJP (talk • contribs) 08:24, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

message: There should be a pronunciation guide. I have no clue how Georgian pronunciation works
--CooperRanger (talk) 02:12, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Incorrect. Ts(uh)-heen-váh-lee. Nothing is silent. "Ts" as in cats, "kh" as Spanish j (Jorge), Russian "х" but "h" is close enough. Pronounced similarly in Georgian, Ossetic and Russia, only in Russian you can drop the final vowel (optional), in Ossetic, there is no "-ee" in "-lee". Anatoli (talk) 12:02, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation Guide? 

message: Looks like Georgians via cellular networks totally control the internet access in S.Ossetia just like in Abkhazia. This article features Georgian POV, and the only source named on the page is Georgian propagandist 'classbook'194.85.148.66 (talk) 10:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: I skimmed the article and adjusted some potentially non-neutral language and removed some unreferenced claims.  If there are any remaining complaints about the neutrality of the article, please let us know what specifically is in dispute; it's not necessarily obvious to people not familiar with the city.  (I had never heard of it until today.) -- Beland (talk) 17:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

message: 93.177.151.101, first of all don't use the article as your own page! I put "citation needed" next to Ossetian architecture. Taamu (talk) 14:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I put "citation needed" in order to provide a source to the article, to make you stop violating the rules! As I understood I affected you when I put "Ossetian" before "Georgian"? Do you have a hang-up concernig it? Taamu (talk) 14:54, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

text: You want to say that there were no Ossetian population until 1920? But you have forgotten that the city was a mixture of Jews, Armenians, Georgians and Ossetians. My second point, as I already told you that city has the monuments of Georgian medieval architecture (does anyone argues this fact?) as well as Ossetian architecture (national motifs that were implemented in modern history (modern does not mean contemporary)). I told you that there is no Modern Ossetian architecture, although you removed the "Ossetian architecture" and changed it to "modern Ossetian architecture". I understand you, the main aspect for you is the sequence of the words "Ossetian" and "Georgian". Taamu (talk) 15:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

text: P.S. Please stop editorial fighting or I will have to request from the wikipedia moderators to "force you to peace." It's sound exactly what Georgia does after it's military offences in South Ossetia. She started the war, and than she askes "moderators" (USA and NATO) to "force Russia to peace."

thread_title:  City sights / Architecture 

message: Official site of city is tskhinval.ru, but not chinval.ru. Second site was registered only few days ago by private person. See, for example, this news (in Russian) and compare the sites cominf.org and [tskhinval.ru tskhival.ru] - their design is identic. Dinamik (talk) 09:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Site

message: Does anyone have a reference to the city area? I belive 7.4 km² is too small for Tskhinval. Taamu (talk) 08:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: City area

message: I deleted this section, consisting of four lines, because the references to stand-alone and potentially copyrighted images are about as veritable as this image. If anybody wants to re-add that information, please include a reliable, cross-examinable source. Even the best articles on some cities lack cultural makeup data, as accurate information is difficult to find. 58.170.122.106 (talk) 16:36, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demographics 

message: Why is the country quoted as South Ossetia / Georgia? Surely we should follow the example of Pristina in Kosovo and use the defacto country (i.e. remove Georgia).
Does anyone disagree?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.138.8.42 (talk) 22:09, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

This means that Wikipeda can reject none of the commonly used names and the alleged standard established by an obscure state agency is by no means a standard for Wikipedia. WP:ON further reads:
 
A quick news scan in Russian yields 1,420 hits for Цхинвали and 1,100 for Цхинвал. Google Books gives 35,400 for Цхинвали and only 8,490 for Цхинвал. Clear now? --KoberTalk 17:05, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Russian name

message: The subject of the first sentence is "Tskhinvali...", and the second sentence starts "It has been recognised as an independent Republic...", misleadingly suggesting that the city is the Republic.
I'd suggest the second sentence to begin "South Ossetia...", and the third sentence to begin "It..."

replies: text: I'd suggest to remove all the text about Tskhinvali region, and to focus mainly on the town. It repeats words that an interested person can find in the main article of the region.--Ⴂ. ႡႠႪႠႾႠႻႤ★ 09:10, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grammar of the first three sentences 

message: Currently most of the contents 2008 war section are not directly relevant to the topic of this article. I would suggest to remove everything before the sentence "In the afternoon, Georgian personnel left the Joint Peacekeeping Force headquarters in Tskhinvali", keeping links to Russo-Georgian War and Battle of Thkhinvali as main articles.
