message: Following sentence appears wishful thinking:
In 903 AD Hungarian tribes, headed by their leader Árpád, stormed the Hungvar fortress. The forces were not equal and Laborets was defeated.
The only source for it is Gesta Hungarorum. Wikipedia says about it: The Gesta Hungarorum contains correct facts, inaccurate facts, and information that cannot be confirmed from other sources.
As I understand there was a number of fiction books related to Laborets and Árpád. Some people believe it's true, but should  wikipedia have unconfirmed information?   Tigga en 11:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the information claiming the city as Hungarian carries no encyclopedic value. And as far as I know a lot of historians agree that the land was populated by Slavic people, and the Ugric tribes arrived to the region in later times. Of course, that says nothing in regards to rebut the claim, but, I think, it extands the bais, though.Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 02:44, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Sorry, I do not want create a Ukrainian / Russian nationalist debate, but...
I have a Ukrainian passport issued in 2003 in Uzhhorod.  It transliterates it as "Uzhgorod" in Latin letters.  While I was in Zakarpattska that year, I do not honestly recall hearing it pronounced "Uzhhorod", so I called it "Uzhgorod".  Whereas, for example, the currency was called Hryvnia / Hriven as often or more often than Gryvnia (both are in frequent use).
What do folks who live there call the city?
:: Am a native uzhhoroder. If I talk in Ukrainian I use Uzhhorod (wich is the official transliteration), if I talk Russian, then I use Uzhgorod; if I talk Hungarian, then I use Ungvar. That's it. I prefer Uzhhorod, however, it's pretty difficult for foreigners to read it. I heard a lot of foreigbers to call it Uzhorod instead of Uzhhorod. ONE "H" makes a difference...Sakura-org 18:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The local time in Western Transcarpathia (I prefer Transcarpathia instead of Zakkarpattia in English)is Central European. Untill 1991 CET was the official time zone in the whole oblast. It was changed to EET after Ukraine proclimed its independence. That is why now it is still dark at 7.00 AM in summer here. I wish CET would be official again. Sakura-org 18:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Please confirm by reliable sources that there is a significant percentage of Rusyns among the population of Uzhhorod to justify your  proposal to write "Rusyns and Ukrainians" instead of "Ukrainians".--AndriyK 16:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: In 1910 there were thousands of Jews (about 7,000) in Uzghorod. How did they disspared in the 1910 census ?
I understand that their murder in 1944 is not enough importnat to put it in the text. ( I can't do it - my English is bad).
Maybe cause nationality and religion is not same?
Or as many times happend they just counted by what is the person mother language. Avvoltoio
:"By 1891, the population of Uzhhorod grew to 3,735 (of the total population of 11,793 or 31%) and by 1910 the Jewish population was 5,305 (of the total population of 16,919 or 31%). In 1920, the census showed only 3,743 Jews indicating that WWI had a profound affect upon the Jewish population. After WWI through 1930, the Jewish population reached 7,534 (of a total population of 26,775 or 28%) and by 1941, reached 9,576."      Almost everyone was murdered.

message: There is no possibility to get Uzhgorod by foot through Vysne Nemeckie. Border pass CLOSED for pedestrians without further notice.
And it seems to be Slovak problem, Ukrainian city generated too much traffic for Slovak officers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.220.67.114 (talk) 12:50, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: The following text is out of the article. Before then [20th century], the city was known as Ungvar, also spelled Ongvar, Hungvar, and Unguyvar.... Until the end of the 20th century, the city was known in English as Uzhgorod. Doesn't that sound strange? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 17:04, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

text: References for your statements?  I just changed "Cold War" to "end of 20th century", which is more accurate as a time measurement.  If you want references, then provide them.  This article was written (by someone else) before the Wikimania for providing on-line references to everything.  (Taivo (talk) 18:01, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

message: You may have noticed that two editors have been changing the colours on the weather boxes for Ukrainian cities for the past two months.  There is a discussion of what colours they should be at Talk:Lviv#The colours used on the weather box.  Please contribute, even if only to say that you don't care, but you just wish they would stop changing it.--Toddy1 (talk) 14:32, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I would prefer it to use standard temperature colours and use green for precipitation. Although there is a possibility that I can use pastel colours for temperature but use blue for precipitation, I would avoid this because for temperatures below , they all have the same colour (confusing to a reader) and furthermore, the weather box is too colourful with the pastel colour scheme, making it hard for readers to understand. At the same time, I would avoid using the default colours because the blue colours blend too much with the record lows, precipitation/rainy days and humidity (all use the same blue colours). Furthermore, the way I see it, the blue colours creates a chilly impression of this climate and does not really show that precipitation contributes to making the landscape green (which can be easily seen with green colours). I think using green precipitation colours and standard temperature colours would alleviate this problem. Ssbbplayer (talk) 17:17, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: In this case, it does not really matter which set of colours are used.  I do think that green for rainfall is a bit odd.  Please no changes with consensus.--Toddy1 (talk) 20:41, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
