Talk:Horilka

message: Mikkalai, this is principally intended for you (as your talk page requests that discussions with you be conducted on article talk pages).  Obviously my editing was not intended to somehow initiate a battle and I agree with you that flavoring a vodka does not make it any less a vodka.  However, if certain flavors are only used in Ukrainian spirits branded "horilka" and usually not in those branded "vodka" it makes for a compelling argument that there is a difference.  Whether that is or is not the case, also, this is currently an article on horilka and not vodka.  It remains that way until there is a decision on the Articles for Deletion listing.  As such, removing content that improves the article itself, regardless of whether such content makes it more or less compelling in relation to the deletion argument, is a form of vandalism.  I believe this was a misunderstanding of intentions and not actual vandalism in this case, however, please only work to improve the article. DvonD 00:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, I am sure you are familiar with wikipeida's policies WP:CITE.  Second, Polish brands of wodka may also have their peculiarities, but this is not a reason to have an article wódka or gorzałka or Belarusian harelka (being a belarusian myself, I woud very much like to have it, but I also have some common sense not to do it). Also Horilka is not a brand name.  For example, take a look here. `'mikkanarxi 00:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

text: The site is absolutely admissible. It is the web component of a Ukrainian cultural journal geared towards the tourism sector which undergoes a publications board process like any wide-distribution print periodical. Ref: [] and []. Excluding it because their article does not cite sources would be akin to excluding the New York Times or National Geographic because their articles do not cite sources; it's not original research, it's published research.

replies: text: It is published bullshit. The stated facts are not supplied by confirmation references. Even National Geographic and NYT often publish bullhit. You can rely on newspapers only when they quote a reputable expert. A paparazzi has no credibility. `'mikkanarxi 02:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Paparazzi?  That makes no sense at all in the context you're using it.  You're now making arbitrary statements and reverts regarding what you consider appropriate sources.  This is ridiculous.  You're fighting a battle when everyone else is just trying to improve an article.  You've stated that you're Belarusian.  You've gone after Ukraine-related articles to delete them.  I'm American with ancestry in Britain and Austria - I have no idea what kind of animosity there might be between your country and Ukraine, but this war you're creating is absolutely pointless as far as I can see.

message: I deleted this sentence because the mentioned reference http://www.lemko.org/art/madzelan/67eng.html does not describe any ceremonious use. Quoting:
:The reception following the christening was not difficult to prepare, for the guests, the godparents of one's child, neighbors and close family members would on the eve of the event drop off all kinds of goodies, and it sufficed for the parents to slaughter a ram and as usual purchase the beer, wine or vodka, so called "horilka"
I.e., this is a usual feast ("reception"), and nothing nationally "celemonial" or "ritual". Mukadderat 16:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't it be spelled in Latin 'Gorilka', or is the 'Г' pronounced more like an 'H' than a 'G' in Ukrainian? I'm probably way out of line here so sorry in advance, haha. 64.56.225.248 01:59, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I realise this is a politically charged topic, but I don't think the regional differences present in Ukrainian Horilka warrant an entire separate article.  I know many Ukrainian and Russian people, and can attest that 'Horilka' is simply the Ukrainian term for Vodka.  There are a few unique flavourings used, but that's the extent of the difference.  This article should be merged with the main Vodka article in my opinion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by HappyGod (talk • contribs) 00:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
