Donbass cities edit

I have seen that you renamed Torez to Chistiakove citing the decision of thle Verkhovna Rada. The problem with that is that Ukraine does not control the city, and the local authorities whatever they are never accepted the new name, and the most common name in English is clearly still Torez. The article was renamed in the past, and I always had to roll the move back. The move is highly controversial (same as Krasnodon and Sorokine etc) and needs at the very least to go via RfC, and the chances of it to be renamed I would estimate as low.--Ymblanter (talk) 08:19, 17 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I overlooked in the article that Ukrainian authorities do not control Torez. I now see it is written in the lead..... but a bit misleading.... I talked some time ago with somebody from Toretsk which is still under Ukraine's control. I am afraid I mixed up names when looking up the Wikipedia article of the city of this person. I can remember only now that that this singer from Toretsk used the pre-decomunization name of the city: Dzerzhynsk. So sorry for the hassle: I thought that it was forgotten to update the Wikipedia article on Toretsk, while that did happen. I am not interested now in another heated discussion about political control of the Donbass since nothing has changed the last 2 years that justified new Wikipedia standards. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 15:19, 17 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
No problem, indeed Toretsk is uncontroversial and has been updated.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:37, 17 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the understanding. I have been looking for the exact date Torez was taken over by pro-Russian separatists.... But can't find it on the Internet.... (I tried it in English, Ukrainian and Russian.) Do you have one source where it is listed when (exact dates) these Donbass towns were taken over by pro-Russians/the Ukrainian army? — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 16:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Tomorrow afternoon I will be back on my laptop and try to search.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:36, 17 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Now I realized that you want not the date Torez was taken over (which is in the article) but a comprehensive source which would provide such dates for all Donbass sities. No, unfortunately I am not aware of the existence of such a source.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:58, 18 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for March 15 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael Karkoc, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Horodok. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:15, 15 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Note: I kept link pointing to the disambiguation page Horodok in place because it gives the reader at-least some information about Michael Karkoc's place of birth. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 17:15, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Spelling edit

Do you think that maybe the articles on Valeriya Gontaryeva and the National Bank of Ukraine should use the same spelling of her name? Which of the three spellings is best is a difficult question.-- Toddy1 (talk) 21:34, 10 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

My apologizes Toddy1 for the late replay! I think all mentions of Valeria Gontareva on English Wikipedia should use the same spelling (of her name). After quick Googling her it seems the (current) most common English spelling of her name is Valeria Gontareva is lately used by (big news agencies) Reuters, CNBC and Bloomberg News (and also (even if it is not the most "Ukrainian way" to spell her name) by The Ukrainian Weekly). I (just) opened a renaming request on Talk:Valeriya Gontaryeva. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 15:07, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Social and Political Platform of Nadia Savchenk edit

Hi

We should create an article about the party which have 1 deputy (NS). --Panam2014 (talk) 10:47, 9 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, but I don't agree. Other than that in July 2017 the party was officially registered I know nothing else to write about it in a Wikipedia article about the party.... Unlike when National Corps started. But of course I am not against a Wikipedia article about Social and Political Platform of Nadia Savchenko.

United territorial communities edit

These need to be explained better. Is this a regional government/partnership, and do the levels under it remain in existence to carry out their own municipal functions? I guess a better way to put my question is whether this merges these municipalities, or rather it's just a regional partnership? In the case of the latter, it sounds like these are very similar to urban agglomeration councils in the province of Quebec in Canada in North America, which are still on the same level as local municipalities, but is another layor. --Criticalthinker (talk) 00:10, 26 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Further looking into this, it seems that this isn't a merger, rather, it's a partnership of adjacent divisions. But in any case, it needs to explain if each entity still carries out its local services, if it's all sent up to the "united territorial" level, or if they decide how they will split administering local services. As well as this, it needs to be explained if this raises them to the level of a district, or if these entities are still under the jurisdiction of the district in which they exist? --Criticalthinker (talk) 12:01, 4 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sorry for the slow response Criticalthinker. This article (in Ukrainian) by Radio Free Europe tells that the United territorial communities will replace the districts. Because journalist don't seem to be very interested (at least that is the idea I am getting....) in administrative decentralization I can't find much useful information about your other questions. I should admit that I also don't find it to be the most interesting of subjects.... — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 18:15, 4 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. This is one of my area of interests, so I'll may add/clean-up some parts of what you wrote, but thank you for adding this. I didn't even know they existed. Out of curiosity, when you say that they replace whatever district/raion they are in, that basically means every community in a raion must agree to this, right? I was under the impression that it didn't have to be every city or settlement in a raion and that it didn't necessarily remove them from the surrounding raion. But you're saying that in fact this means an entire raion basically decides it wants to be united territory, right? --Criticalthinker (talk) 00:07, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
So, I just read the article you linked me to. The translation wasn't always great, but from reading it this is even more confusing than I imagined. This seems to be more than simply adding OTTs as an addition to the other administrative divisions, rather it appears the new law - can you link me to a copy of this, BTW? This would be way more clear - totally restructures the existing levels of local government. In fact, the article says that the district/raion is eliminated and that there will only be three: Regions, Counties, and Communities. OTT would fit in the last and it sounds like they replace cities (of district signifiance), settlements, and rural councils in EVERY county where counties exist, at least where they meet the population threshold. I think that means that these lower level administrations would still exists in districts that don't meet the population threshold. This part I'm exactly unsure of what they mean:
Окрім того, у кожному селі громади з населенням понад 50 людей обиратимуться нові для України посадовці – «старости» – представники влади у селі. Староста матиме печатку й частково виконуватиме функції, які зараз виконує сільрада, зокрема, видачу окремих довідок.
Anyway, if any of this is the case, we'd need an entire rewritting of the Administrative divisions of Ukraine as it would seem as if it's a total reworking of local government. I guess I'll ask another guy I know on here who does stuff on administrative divisions in Ukraine. --Criticalthinker (talk) 00:37, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello Criticalthinker. The legislative framework (you asked me about this four days ago) for the United territorial communities seems to me to be this decision by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and this law.

I am happy that you have this area of interests and edit Wikipedia articles on this. I do like to have this kind of information on Wikipedia, but currently just can't make the effort myself 😥. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 18:42, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
