moved talk:Dnipropetrovs'k manually (could not use mv article because page existed)
Line 1:
Should its name be Dniepropetrovsk?
#redirect [[Talk:Dnipropetrovs'k]
 
Redirect from [[Dnepropetrovsk]] is buggy. Also, what is the relation between Dnepropetrovsk and [[Kudak]] (mentioned in article about [[Stanislaw Koniecpolski]]? Is this an older name, or was Kudak just nearby? --[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]] [[User_talk:Piotrus|Talk]] 13:25, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 
::I'd say just nearby. I guess Kodak (as far as I'm accustomed to name) was destroyed before the foundation of existing city.[[User:AlexPU|AlexPU]]
 
==How the city name is spelled in English==
I checked LexusNexus database on how the city name is spelled in major English media. The search for the last two years usage in major papers gives the following results:
*''Dnepropetrovsk'' - used 66 times.
*''Dnipropetrovs'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>'''k'' - used only once.
*''Dnipropetrovsk'' - used '''243''' times. Also used by Britannica.
 
Therefore, I moving the article to from ''Dnipropetrovs'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>'''k'' to ''Dnipropetrovsk''.
