message: I've created three versions of the map of distrcits:
*:Image:Kiev DistrictMap Ukrainian.png - in Ukrainian
*:Image:Kiev DistrictMap English.png - in English
*:Image:Kiev DistrictMap Numbers.png - numbered
Feel free to use whichever one. I've added the Ukrainian version to the Districts section of the article.

Hi everybody. Regarding that map: unfortunately, it doesn't reflect the river - which is rather important for understanding the city's subdivision. Would somebody "split" it following the respective raion limits line? Ukrained 19:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Map of Formal Districts

message: I've contributed a few of the photos to Kiev article in the past. Most of my selections were based on key attractions. I see even more additions of Kiev photos in the Modern Kiev section. I believe that these are ALL GREAT PHOTOS! And I'm sure there are even more. I would love to have a separate section of Kiev Photos which would feature the key attractions. Those could be updated as better photos of the same places turn up... 
My proposal - create a separate page on Wikipedia : Kiev/Album or Kiev/Photos which would be entirely dedicated to all pics.
On the main article page include one or two photos per related section and a link to the newly created album page where more photos can be viewed. 
What do you guys think?

message: There are some false and/or ambiguous issues there:
*The only major train station?
*partial collapse of transit system?
*buses including trams???
Somebody fix, or move the whole section here - temporarily. Ukrained 18:51, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It needs improvement by I don't think it is that bad as to be totally removed from the article to talk. We can improve gradually within the article itslelf. On the side note, the practical collapse of the transit system in the nineties did occur. Also, the suburban transportation including the ran-down buses and the famous Soviet Elektrichkas is totally missing. --Irpen 19:15, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well there is the Kiev Metro article (I am currentely negotiating with several people for right of images, hopefully I can begin filling out the station details soon). http://www.parovoz.com/ is a good site for information on rail transit. -- Kuban kazak 19:27, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Kiev#Transportation|Transportation section]] needs serious improvement 

message: IMHO, the existing structure of the sections is poorly readable and priority-missing. So I suggest the following plan of contents:
#Geography...
#History
#Legal status...
#Subdivisions
#Modern Kiev (shouldn't we split&develop it to Economy, Architecture, Social, Culture etc.?)
#Transportation
#Economy (non-existing so far)
#Universities
#Kiev or Kyiv
...
Please modify this structure below with your opinion. To my mind, we should analyze the experience of other megacities/capitals on WP.
I also suggest to establish the structure pattern for all big cities of Ukraine, based on the experience of Kiev. See the discussion here. Ukrained 13:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Structure of the article 

message: I have replaced
In World War II, the city was destroyed again, almost completely
with
In World War II, the city again suffered significant damage
This occurs in two places in the article.
While it is true that there was widespread destruction and some parts of the city were almost totally destroyed, overall, the destruction was not nearly as extensive as, say, in Warsaw. As anyone living in Kiev would confirm, there are many pre-war buildings in the city that still exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.4.207 (talk • contribs) 19:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
