Source for name change

See this article in The Guardian. It reads "On 23 December, the Ukrainian parliament approved a list of 108 towns and villages that will have their names changed after local consultation, including Artemovsk, a major town in east Ukraine named after Comrade Artem, an early Russian revolutionary. The town will go back to its pre-revolutionary name of Bakhmut". RGloucester — ☎ 06:43, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

But if it says "will go back" for me it reads "has not yet gone back". I see that the Ukrainian Wikipedia article is still Artemivsk, though they are usually very quick to rename.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:00, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

If the changes were approved by parliament, and already voted on the by the city, that means that the change is done. In fact, in a Ukrinform report from 9 January, one sees that the city is referred to as "Bakhmut, former Artemivsk". Given that Ukrinform is the state news agency, I believe that we can trust it on this matter. RGloucester — ☎ 07:07, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok, let us do it, but I still find the sourcing too weak and would prefer to have some kind of official publication (a lwa or smth like this).--Ymblanter (talk) 07:30, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

For the record: Now we know that we should not trust Ukrinform, they publish disinformation or at least do not care to chesk what they publish.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:58, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

What do you mean? RGloucester — ☎ 23:48, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

On 13 January the city has not yet been renamed. The Verkhovna Rada only voted yesterday, and the renaming is effective today.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:25, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Native speakers

I re-calculated the %% of native speakers. For example, the numbers of Russian-speaking persons is 30.254 + 40.114 = 70.368

Total population is 113.785

70.368/1138 = 62% best regards, BonteKraai (talk) 15:02, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

less than 5% of bakhmut is under ukrainian control. I would get rid of the sentence that says that the russian forces largely do not control bakhmut 180.150.38.17 (talk) 13:01, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Link Wagner

Under the tab "2022 Russian Invasion" in the last sentence the link 'Wagner' should direct to the Wagner Group, not the composer. The real StarMan (talk) 10:00, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
