Zaporozhye edit

So that you and User:Taivo don't edit war over the article on Zaporozhye, I have made a compromise edit incorporating elements of what both of you want. I have also created redirects so that links are not in red.

Please note that in England:

  • Earth = name of the planet = Earth
  • earth = substance on the ground = Soil

So making wood-earth fortifications makes perfect sense in English.--Toddy1 (talk) 17:04, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • Possibly you are right, but most of the people of Earth planet use now days US English

--Zas2000 (talk) 18:26, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Since you are not a native speaker of English, please do not try to correct the English editing of those who are. In US English, "wood-earth" is perfectly acceptable and is, indeed, the preferred way to state this. Also your continued reversions are not welcome. If you make a change and one of us corrects your English, do NOT revert that change. --Taivo (talk) 22:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • Thank you for your suggestions, but first I need to make sure that you are a native speaker, now I'm not sure about that yet

I'll edit all that is wrong with my point of view

18 September 1943 edit

What is the source for the claim that Hitler visited HQ Army Group South on 18 September 1943? It is not mentioned by von Manstein in his book Lost Victories. On the contrary, that book says the von Manstein had a meeting with Hitler on 15 September, and then returned to his headquarters (i.e. the meeting was not at HQ Army Group South.

Note that HQ Army Group South moved from Zaporozhe in mid-September 1943.--Toddy1 (talk) 12:49, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Zaporizhia - October 1943 edit

What are the sources for the following statements?

  • and captured it.

  • the grateful dwellers still keep the memory of these soldiers.

Dnieper Hydroelectric Station edit

If you think that Wikipedia should call the hydro-electric dam at Zaporozhye: DneproGES instead of DniproHES, the place to make the change is the article on the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station. If you can make the change, and have it stick, then it will be fine to use that spelling in the article on Zaporozhye.

Having the article on Zaporozhye call it DneproGES and the article on the on the dam call it DniproHES is confusing for English speaking readers of Wikipedia.

Incidentally, in normal English these things are called "hydro-electric dams", though the term "hydroelectric power station" is also acceptable. "Hydroelectric station" is not normal English. Whether you write "hydro-electric" or "hydroelectric" is a matter of choice; both are acceptable; I believe "hydro-electric" is more normal.

A quick search reveals the following frequency on Google for things written in English:

  • Dnipro HES - 283,000 (however there were very many false positives with this)
  • DneproGES - 7,160
  • DniproGES - 422
  • DniproHES - 340
  • DneproHES - 58

(In each case, I went to the last item found - as the Google algorithms give a more accurate count if you do this.)

--Toddy1 (talk) 06:05, 4 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I agree. Something should be chosen. Dam has to be called "The DneproGES". The DneproGES has birth certificate named in it as "Днепровская Гидро-Электрическая Станция "(ДнепроГЭС)- DneproGES, see [1] and [2]

Yandex.ru says :

  • DneproGES - 4119
  • DniproGES - 1147
  • DniproHES - 1256
  • DneproHES - 23
  • Dnipro HES - 1655

--zas2000 (talk) 12:18, 4 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

The answer is that you need to persuade people on Talk:Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, and then change that article.--Toddy1 (talk) 13:00, 4 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Dnieper Hydroelectric Station edit

The article used to say that it "is the largest hydroelectric power station in Ukraine and was the largest in Europe at the time of its construction. It is situated on the Dnieper River in Zaporizhzhia."

Those are two claims to notability:

The article now says that it "is the largest hydroelectric power station on the Dnieper River in Zaporizhia".

Are there other hydroelectric power stations on the Dnieper in Zaporizhia?

Are you saying that it is not true that it is the largest hydroelectric power station in Ukraine?

Are you saying that it is not true that it was the largest in Europe at the time of its construction? --Toddy1 (talk) 21:27, 5 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • Now the article abstract says: "The Dnieper Hydroelectric Station is the largest hydroelectric power station on the Dnieper River, placed in Zaporizhia, Ukraine".

On your Are you saying that it is not true that it was the largest in Europe at the time of its construction? This information should be placed in the body of the article. In there one might give some additional information - how long it was the largest power station, which station beat it, what was the winner power and who build and so on.

Again: The abstract is not the best place for this kind of information. For me, much better to add in the abstract, that the station was built on desert land in the countryside to aggravate Ukrainian industrialization --zas2000 (talk) 22:05, 5 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

" Ferry+ Kichkas bridge" edit

To Toddy1: В результате вашего редактирования пропала интересная и полезная информация о Кичкаской переправе:

  • Мост назван по имени древнейшей переправы, существовавшей со скифских времен
  • Мост построили сразу после последнего из порогов
  • Кичкаский мост был первым железнодорожным мостом в нижнем течении Днепра и находился в 10-14 км от города, т.е находился вне городской черты
  • Причем здесь коммунистическая революция? Революция была через десять лет после окончания строительства моста, с какой целью вы о ней пишите?
