So it looks like the media uses the "e" (Russian) spelling. [[User:Mike Young|Mike Young]] 11:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
No, plain google search does not allow to evaluate the media usage since it cannot distinguish the usage in historic context from the modern context usage. Current media do just that. Google News would give you a better shot but still not the best one as Google News gives equal weight to the major players in the media market, like NYTimes and some local newspaper which is very little read and may not even have a written down manual of style and editorial staff to enforce it. The best way is to do major media search for, say, last 2-5 years. To do that you need special search engines and I do not know of any that is free. [[LexisNexis]] subscription service I used suggests Dnipropetrovsk is more common in major media. --[[User:Irpen|Irpen]] 17:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
