Russian name variant edit
Since Sumy is in the eastern part of Ukraine, adding the Russian variant is completely appropriate and a citation tag is ridiculous. --Taivo (talk) 23:07, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
But the Russian language is NOT official language in Ukraine. So the city of Sumy spelled in Russian is NOT appropriate. --68.36.49.223 (talk) 23:44, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Doesn't matter what you think, anon IP. A significant percentage of Russian spellings are still found in English, so the Russian names for places in central and eastern Ukraine are quite appropriate. This is the English Wikipedia, not the official arm of the Ukrainian government. --Taivo (talk) 04:10, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
Russian variants do no require citation edit
Standard Wikipedia practice in eastern Ukrainian, where as many as half of the population speaks Russian natively, is to include the Russian variants on placenames. No citation is necessary any more than a citation is necessary for placing the Ukrainian variant in placenames where the majority of the community speaks Russian as their first language (as in the Crimea). The citation tags were nothing more than WP:POINTy editing by an anonymous editor who is pushing an anti-Russian Ukrainian POV. Citations are not necessary for these things. --Taivo (talk) 02:21, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
- Who said so, you? Russian is not official language in Ukraine...--68.38.122.179 (talk) 21:53, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Removal of Russian labeling edit
Toddy1, I removed the Russian labeling for the same purpose why the cities of Russia that have historical connection with Ukraine do not carry Ukrainian labeling. Consistency, buddy. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 20:35, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- Did you notice how Kaliningrad does not carry its original German label? Or Geneva its German name? Or Sitka, Alaska its Russian name? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 20:45, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Partly done: I removed the current link, but can't confirm what the official link is. I popped the one above into Google Translate and it didn't seem quite right to me, so I'll leave it for someone else to add. Bestagon ⬡ 02:44, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
