→Name of the City in English: Dnepropetrovsk or Dnipropetrovsk?: Comment on "modern media usage" & statistics from dating site |

Line 90:
:The name used by the majority of the population is not mentioned anywhere in the [[Wikipedia:Naming Conventions]] as a factor in determining the article's titles. Otherwise, we would have had Moskva, Warszawa and Munchen as Wikipedia entries. What determines the prevailing English name is the modern media usage. --[[User:Irpen|Irpen]] 05:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
There is no recognised "modern media usage" for Dnepropetrovsk. You are trying to '''force''' people to use your one.--[[User:Toddy1|Toddy1]] 19:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
===Usage Data===
I am still trying to understand why this man [[User:Irpen|Irpen]] is so insistent on calling the city ''Dnipropetrovsk''.
It would seem sensible to me to collect usage data. I looked at an English-language dating site [[http://www.2-brides.com]] using by Ukrainian women. The advantage of this is that the forms are actually filled in by people saying where they live:
* Dnepropetrovsk 105*
* Dniepropetrovsk 3
* Dnipropetrovsk 2
