Chernihiv/Chernigov in 1911? edit

Lets look in Brittanica http://98.1911encyclopedia.org/C/CH/CHERNIGOV.htm. No Chernihiv's there only Chernigov. Try to find any respectable English-language reference to Chernihiv dated to 1911 or earlier. abakharev 14:18, 27 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

You have to use modern English. the 1911 Britannica is irrelevant. See 2004 Britannica. --AndriyK 14:26, 27 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
Well, lets use modern English - Google - Chernigov - 341 000 hits, Chernihiv 145 000. Since the main modern English usage is Chernigov lets use it through out all the time. After all we use Moscow not Moskva or Maskva, don't we? I do not feel it is right, but i can accept it. Relax, try to forget your KOMSOMOL upbringing, there is fun in doing something constructive, not only in censoring other people's work. abakharev 14:49, 27 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
