Notice about Wikipedia conventions regarding Ukrainian place names[edit]
Whilst Kiev has been the customary English name of the city with special status, the modern transliteration of the Ukrainian name Kyiv has recently become more commonly used in English. "Kiev" was the longstanding title of Wikipedia's article on the subject.[note 1][note 2] However, a move discussion closed on 16 September 2020 resulted in that article being moved to the title "Kyiv", following a documented shift in usage in English-language media.
An RfC closed on 11 November 2020 discussion established the following guidance for whether to use Kyiv or Kiev in an article:
- For unambiguously current/ongoing topics (e.g. Kyiv Metro), Kyiv is preferred.
- For unambiguously historical topics (e.g. Principality of Kiev), do not change existing content.
- For any edge cases, or in case of doubt or dispute, an RfC or move request debate is recommended.
- In all cases, name changes must follow the WP:BRD cycle.
The following rule of thumb for determining what is current or historical was also established:
- From October 1995 (Resolution of the Ukrainian Commission for Legal Terminology No. 5), Kyiv is presumptively appropriate subject to specifics of the article.
- From 24 August 1991 (Ukrainian independence), Kyiv is likely to be appropriate, but proceed with caution.

- Thanks, I am generally aware of this controversy, although previously not with all the details. However, the changes here were not on the article text, but on the citations: diff. Surely the guideline does not imply that we should modify the titles of the references? Jähmefyysikko (talk) 16:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- You are right, I don't know how I missed the context (twice). Sorry for the interruption, Greetings from Los Angeles. // Timothy :: talk 20:10, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- No worries. Cheers, Jähmefyysikko (talk) 09:03, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

April 2024[edit]
Hello! This is not what we do when there is an unresolved move discussion on the talk page. Please never do anything like that again! SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:22, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
