Talk:Sumy

message: Since Sumy is in the eastern part of Ukraine, adding the Russian variant is completely appropriate and a citation tag is ridiculous.  --Taivo (talk) 23:07, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't matter what you think, anon IP.  A significant percentage of Russian spellings are still found in English, so the Russian names for places in central and eastern Ukraine are quite appropriate.  This is the English Wikipedia, not the official arm of the Ukrainian government.  --Taivo (talk) 04:10, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Russian name variant 

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) 02:21, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

message: , I removed the Russian labeling for the same purpose why the cities of Russia that have historical connection with Ukraine do not carry Ukrainian labeling. Consistency, buddy. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 20:35, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
