message: for instance, from here:
ASKOLD (Houml;skuld) (circa 800-882 AD), Old Varjager king or Scandinavian prince, another "founder" of Kiev. It was the Kyivan Prince Askold who, on 18 June 860 AD, arrived with his fleet of over 200 ships, into the Bay of the Golden Horn to threaten Constantinople. An honourable truce was soon concluded between Askold and the Emperor. Askold sent a delegation to Constantinople in October 860 AD to conclude further treaties, among which were articles about the Baptism of Kyivan Rus'. Cyril and Methodius, along with five disciples: Clement, Gorazd, Nahum, Angelar and Sava, were sent by Photios to Kyiv, as missionaries to the Slavs, where the two brothers met with Prince Askold in 861 AD. Askold was baptized, as were many of his subjects, and received the name "Nicholas." (Mykola Askold)  Metropolitan Michael became the first Primate of Kyiv on the appointment of Patriarch Photios. Princes Askold and Dir (Dyre) were later hung as defenders of Orthodox Christianity, by Viking Rurik's son Oleg (Oleh) of Novgorod, at the capture of Kiev, in 882 AD. Kiev was then brought under the Holmgårds empire. Tomb of Askold, erected in 1810  at Askoldova Mohyls cemetery, Kiev Ukraine. Cemetery is now Ukrainian Civil War Student Memorial. Nestor the Chronicler also notes that it is from this time, 860 AD, that the name "Rus'" comes into vogue as the name for the Kyivan lands. (Nestor is mistaken ... the name is much, much older...)  (Note similarity Houml to Humulus, from Latin meaning "hops.")

replies: text: Furthermore, any note about "Houml;" being similar to "Humulus" is ludicrous; it's just a bad transcription of Höskuld, missing the & from the html code, an alternative spelling of Askold.  Gene Nygaard 06:19, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

message: While working on the Steel Yard article I came across several mentions of a OTH radar site being built in Chernihiv. There are "well known" Steel Yard systems in Gomel and Siberia, but there's a few mentions of one pointed east to cover China, although most of these say it's on the Coast near Odessa, not north at Chernihiv. It would also seem odd that they would put a second one so close to the one at Gomel, although I guess there could be reasons for that.
These would be easy to spot, they're about 50 meters tall and 100 to 150 wide, and they locate them in fields with a good view, so they should be easy to spot from a long distance. They would have been built between the mid 1970s and early 1980s, and operated into the late 1980s. It's possible they would have been torn down by now, but the one at Gomel is still standing so its hard to say.
Does anyone know of anything like this near Chernihiv? Any info would be great!

Clearly Chernihiv is the most common spelling in English.  But it is difficult to say that Chernigov is historical, the first hit on Google is for airport codes, and the second for apartment rental.  Tschernigow is an older English rendition of Чернигов.--Toddy1 (talk) 06:37, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

message: When using a source that was published in years past, if it uses the present tense, you must use the past tense in your article.  The facts in that old material may have changed.  You should also look for more current information if you want this article to be complete and accurate.  So your footnote #3 is the Jewish Encyclopedia from 1906.  That is a century ago.  If you copied from that, you should at least change "is" to "was" and so on.  Plus you should go to the city website to see what it says about the subject in 2013.
