message: I have expanded the 14th-16th century in the History section of the article. My contributions are by no means meant to emphasize that period. On the contrary, this is the part I was able to contribute, at least for now, due to some of my interests in middle age relations and military. And I hope that it will induce other editors to contribute to expand the article's other parts. The parts that I contributed are interested from pure historical point of view, and have no ethnical or irredentist meaning whatsoever.
If you have any observations or objections to my edits, could you please address them here before doing changes in the article. (Obviously I only refer to the 14th-16th century period.) :Dc76 20:04, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Could anybody explain why is a song of Sofia Rotaru notable in the lead section of an article on a geographic region? I would like a reply from somebody who is not a fan of Rotaru. Thank you. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 08:46, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Sofia Rotaru in the lead?

message: Pokuttia seems to be lumped together with Hutsulshchyna in this article.  Ethnographically and historically, "A historical-geographic upland region bounded by the Dnister River and the Podolian Upland to the north, the Prut River and Subcarpathia to the south, the Stanyslaviv Depression to the west, and the Kitsman Depression and the Sovytsia River to the east."  (this is from the Encyclopedia of Ukraine).  Many of the links at the end of the article are to Hutsul towns, not Pokuttian.  --lubap 24 May, 2016  —Preceding undated comment added 03:04, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Pokuttya →  – The usage of three common spellings Pokutia, Pokuttia, and Pokuttya is mixed, but Pokuttia might be the most WP:COMMONNAME by a moderate margin. It also satisfies WP:UKR, which recommends romanization according to the 2010 Ukrainian National system, wherein Покуття → Pokuttia. This spelling also corresponds to the widely used modified Library of Congress romanization. (Pokutia corresponds to the earlier 1996 National system, and Pokuttya to the British Standard 1958 and BGN/PCGN 1965 systems, which have all been superseded.)
Comparing frequency:
* Google Advanced Book Search (per WP:SET, with quotation marks, English sources only, excluding “Wikipedia”), limited to 21st century sources:
** Pokuttia: about 1,100 results
** Pokuttya: about 778 results
** Pokutia: about 425 results
* Google Scholar Search (per WP:SET, with quotation marks, excluding “Wikipedia”), limited to “Since 2017”:
** Pokuttia: about 252 results
** Pokuttya: about 221 results
** Pokutia: about 32 results
Those numbers are not very significant. A Google Books Ngram chart shows the total usage is such a small number of sources that the “most common” is different from year to year, most years there is no clear winner, and if you change the interval you’ll get a different top result. We should fall back to the standard romanization.
