Talk:Mariupol

message: It would be interesting to know when the switch happened from the Russian spelling of the city to the Ukrainian spelling. As far as I understand the city was renamed in 1780 by request of the Greeks to Mariupol. So this was the periode under the Russian Empire, hence the Russian spelling Мариуполь. When did the offical change happen to the Ukrainian spelling Маріуполь? Was this in 1989 or 1991 or sometime later? 2003:C9:F24:AC00:1970:6888:EC4A:B56 (talk) 02:52, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Not entirely sure I understood your question, the city was called Mariupol more or less since it was founded. It was spelled Маріуполь in Russian according to the pre-1917 Russian orthography, which changed to Мариуполь after 1917. According to the current Ukrainian orthography (which wasn't standardised until late 19th - early 20th century) it's spelled Маріуполь. Once Ukraine became independent and the Ukrainian became the sole official language this became the official name. Do you propose to change something in the article?

replies: text:  History rewritten by law... Ukrainian was the official language for the whole country. But Ukraine recognized 18 other languages for regional use. Since a city is a very regional thing Mariupol with its Russian speaking majority and its Greek speaking minority had 3 official spellings: Маріу́поль,Мариу́поль and Μαριούπολη.) This became questionable when the use of regional languages was restricted in the small period of time in 2014 when Ukraine had no "real" government, tried to make a law to remove the languages fully (which failed because a much more reasonable Poroshenko never signed it.) replaced the Constitutional Court of Ukraine and filed a constitutional complain against these Languages which, in 2017, declared them being unconstitutional backwards for the whole time. Маріу́поль->Маріуполь came later when the languages became more distinct after Russian and Ukrainian speaking people rater exchanged bullets instead of words. --2001:7C0:3006:3014:1679:61C3:EC43:BD02 (talk) 14:08, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

message: The final paragraph of the intro section says "seize" when it should say "siege" (indeed, it links to the "Siege of Mariupol" article).  If anyone sees this. Denzera (talk) 03:15, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
