Hi user:Figure19, in 2010 you added that "15,000 civilians, including 6,972 Jewish people" were killed during the German occupation of Vileyka. I wanted to add this to the German-language Wikipedia, but the source linked (which was added later) only mentions the 6,972, but not 15,000. What is your source for that higher number? Regards, --Metrophil (talk) 19:22, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
It's my fault I didn't specify the source, and I'm not sure now where I took this from 10 years ago. Seamingly, it was the corresponding article in Russian wiki: "The Nazi invaders during the war has murdered more than 15 thousand civilians in the district, including 5 villages completely burned along with population." As you can see, the statement is not about Vileyka itself, but Vileyka District (created in 1946), and it does not refer to any sources also. I've inserted request for a source in ru-wiki, let's see. --Figure19 (talk) 14:56, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

– Per WP:BELARUSIANNAMES. The letter "е" in "Вілейка" should be romanized as "ye" according to BGN/PCGN romanization of Belarusian, therefore it should be "Vilyeyka". There is also no clear common name for this settlement, and WP:BELARUSIANNAMES instructs us to follow BGN/PCGN romanization in that case. Mellk (talk) 02:40, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
