Talk:Mykolaiv

message: The article says that April 27, 1789 is considered the city birth day, yet the celebrations are held in September. Which date is correct? Or, is there a reason for this discrepancy?—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 15:12, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  Oh, I could google it up alright. What I wanted to see, however, was something that could be used as a reference to the statement that Mykolaiv's city day is August 21. You and me both know it is, but WP:V requires this fact to be verifiable (i.e., sourced). If this date is mentioned in the City Charter or some other official document, that'd make an ideal reference. Would you have anything like that? Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:40, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I apologize to all for Russian, but it will be more comfortable me now to write on it. So… Ezhiki, нашел я неплохой источник Юрия Крючкова, это известный на местном уровне краевед. Здесь ссылка на книгу в формате rar. Так что я думаю нужно подправить статью согласно этому источнику. ~ Aleksandrit 19:38, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I am trying to figure out some confusing information I have read in other places. According to several articles a large radar site was built about 20 km NE of Mykolaiv in the early 1970s. Does anyone reading this live in the area and can confirm or deny this? The system may have been torn down since it was constructed, but if I am reading the history correctly it likely operated into the 1980s, at a minimum.

replies: text:  I read elsewhere that this is the place where the US builds a military base. Is this fact or fake news? If fact, when was the contract made or the actual building commence? Either way, it is important to include, me thinks. 2001:8003:AD87:D400:448C:FC26:1B28:363B (talk) 04:23, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

message: I see that translations (the meaning of the city's name) are listed for the Russian and Ulranian names of the city. Might these by pronunciations - the way the city's names would be sound in English? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Badger151 (talk • contribs) 16:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I've been "slowly" working on expanding (and creating) articles related to shipbuilding in the area. I added links to the three major shipyards to this document. I simply put them in a see also section. I am always open to suggestions and recommendations... thanks chiefhuggybear (talk) 21:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

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) 02:15, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not the reason to change Ukrainian variant to Russian. Time will show what language Ukrainian speak in Ukraine. --70.111.79.146 (talk) 18:02, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as the article titles go, the only thing that matters in the English Wikipedia is the language spoken in countries which it primarily targets. And that, unsurprisingly, is English. Place names come into English from various other languages, including Russian and Ukrainian. Which language English borrows a particular toponym from is a process neither Russians nor Ukrainians are able to control. It's that simple, and it's neither anti-Ukrainian, nor anti-Russian. It's just the way things are with languages.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); March 27, 2012; 18:12 (UTC)
Who said so that Russian variants do no require citation? I can say the same about you  anti-Ukrainian Russian POV :) --Shveik (talk) 02:50, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

message: We have just had the page edited to include the word "officially" for one of the the English language names for the city, when in fact two of the city's English language names are used officially.
:There are several variations of the city's name. In Ukrainian, the city is named Микола́їв, for which the transliteration is Mykolaiv, or officially, Mykolayiv. The Russian name is Никола́ев, which transliterates as Nikolaev or Nikolayev.
I would like to propose a change to the following:
::There are several variations of the city's name. In Ukrainian, the city is named Микола́їв, for which the transliteration is Mykolaiv or Mykolayiv. The Russian name is Никола́ев, which transliterates as Nikolaev or Nikolayev.  Both Mykolayiv and Nikolaev are used officially by the city council.Mykolayiv City Council website].

replies: text: "Both Mykolayiv and Nikolaev are used by the city council in English language materials."  We don't know if the use of both in English is official or not, but it's clear that the city council uses both.  --Taivo (talk) 21:05, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

message: From John Lankenau:

We need the section on city government and politics filled in. Also we need the section on public health expanded to list how healthcare is provided in Mikolaev (I beleive the polyclinic system, which differs from the general medical practictioner system in the USA).
It would also be interesting to add in the urban life section, how apartments/condominiums are bought and sold in Nikolaev. I heared from my new Ukrainian friend that interest rates are 30% so it would be almost impossible to get a loan to buy an apartment it seems to me. Is there still a long waiting list to obtain one's first apartment, as there was in Soviet times? Do adult children in their 20's still live with parents as was common during Soviet times?
Also if anyone knows whether Nikolaev's ship yards still build Russian navy ships, we can add that information.
