message: WARNING regarding Wiki naming policy for ethnic groups and self-identification
Just a reminder of Wiki naming policy for ethnic groups: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(ethnicities_and_tribes) "Self-identification-How the group self-identifies should be considered. If their autonym is commonly used in English, it would be the best article title. Any terms regarded as derogatory by members of the ethnic group in question should be avoided." As noted by Paul Robert Magosci, there is an ethnic group known in English as Ruthenians, but which self identifies as Carpatho-Rusyns, or simply Rusyns. They do not self-identify as Ukrainians. In fact, they find the Ukrainian label offensive. Anyone refering to Carpatho-Rusyns as Ukrainians may result in complaints being lodged in the appropriate Wiki forums.37.200.224.205 (talk) 01:58, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

message: The self-name "по нашому (po našomu)" means "our language" - I believe that it is unlikely that this could be the correct name of the language. ALEF7 (talk) 22:25, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This is probably comparable to the word plat in Dutch, or Platt in German. Anything and everything that's not standard language in the Netherlands and Western Germany can be 'plat'/'Platt'. To add to the confusion, Platt also has a specific meaning of Low German in Germany. Serbo-Croatian is also colloquially called naški ('ours'). Those constructions with the root naš- are probably more widespread than that. I've done little research on Slavic languages so someone else would have to confirm that. Either way, по нашому is probably a correct colloquial name for the language, yes.

message: In sentence "Poland did the same, using internal exile to move all Ukrainians from the southern homelands to western areas conquered from Germany, and switch everyday language to Polish." word "conquered" is not a best choice imho. However different nations/ethnic groups involved may perceive post-WWII forced relocations of people, today's Poland westernmost parts weren't "conquered" by Poland, what may this way of putting it suggest. Poland forcefully relocated people - right. Germany lost areas which now belong to Poland - right. But Poland was practically non-existent at the time when borders were set. Stalin took this area from Germany and "granted" it to newly created puppet-state of "Poland". 
In short: change "conquered" for "incorporated" :)

message: (Russian=) Ruski >> (German) Russen >> (phonetic reverse into Russian) Rusyn. Also see Teresin/Thalerhof concentration camps around WW1.
Same story as with "Ruthen" -> Voevodstvo Russkoe (Russian) under Poland converted into Woewodschaft Ruthenien under Austrohungary. "Ruthenia" literally means "Russia" in Latein (standard Catholic ABC; West Rome).
Thus west Russians (Ruski=Russian) were renamed into something else. Growing regional and cross country difference due to neighbours over time - yes. However, they are still all Russians. 78.34.195.69 (talk) 08:19, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
