Guys here pointed out to the spelling as 'Dnipropetrovsk' rahter than 'Dnipro'. Why then article about renamed AFTER Dnipro, city, Horishny Plavny, are with new name, but Dnipro - with old one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horishni_Plavni

I'm not even mentioned error in existing name of article - it always was DnEpropetrivsk, as pointed [[User talk:Toddy1|Toddy1]]. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/93.127.46.4|93.127.46.4]] ([[User talk:93.127.46.4|talk]]) 08:23, 18 June 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== 'Dnipro' usage examples ==

I'd like to start the list of 'Dnipro' name usage examples and invite other users to add to the list. Tried to gather sources not from Ukraine, as someone wished (though plenty of web-cites in .ua domen [eg. IT companies with international connections] have influence on other www segments). I know, you can add more reliable sources. -- [[User:Ата|<span style="color:SteelBlue">Ата</span>]] ^{[[Обговорення користувача:Ата|'''<span style="color:#80A0FF">'''(talk)'''</span>''']]} 14:17, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

:I looked at one of those websites - it got its content by copying from other websites, and then putting the words "read the full article on...".--<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">[[User:Toddy1| Toddy1]] [[User talk:Toddy1|(talk)]]</span> 20:59, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

::This is by no means a compendium of current English usage. As Toddy points out, in many (most) cases you have listed, this is just cut and paste usage from a single source. You have to do more than just do a Google search and listing links. You have to actually read and evaluate each source. By requiring unique sources, your list of Eurovision articles is reduced to one as well as your list of economic articles. Indeed, in both of these cases even, the underlying source for the usage isn't actually an English source, but a Ukrainian one that the English source simply copies. --[[User:TaivoLinguist|Taivo]] ([[User talk:TaivoLinguist|talk]]) 07:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

:::May I suggest that if people are just copying text without changing the city name then they are ok with it? --[[User:Ата|<span style="color:SteelBlue">Ата</span>]] ^{[[Обговорення користувача:Ата|'''<span style="color:#80A0FF">'''(talk)'''</span>''']]} 08:08, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

The official Eurovision website uses Dnipro now too [http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=kyiv_dnipro_and_odessa_shortlisted_to_host_eurovision_2017], and Interfax uses it as well [http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/economic/359132.html] --'''''BLACK FUTURE''''' <small>([[User talk:Black Future|tlk2meh]])</small> 18:18, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
