Talk:Cherkasy

April 27, 2006 Dear Folks, It would appear that the population figures for the city of Cherkasy, Ukraine, found under: Wiki > Cherkasy > Demographics , from 1970 to the present are missing their trailing zeros; thus reading ten times smaller that the accurate figures. This seems to be a typo, which i discovered during my studies of Chernobyl, as Cherkasy lies down river from Chernobyl. -Have not modified the Wiki entry for them yet, as my wifi connection is thin. I'm also interested if there have been any radiation studies this far from Chernobyl. very best regards, sgsmith, new orleans Sgsmith, nola 06:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, thank you for alerting about commas. I'll change them ASAP. Asking your question: yes, the whole territory of Ukraine is (or at least was) monitored for radiactive pollution. Study links on disaster page for maps and textual mentions. If you're asking about actual pollutions as far as around Cherkasy: yes, there may be small "spots" of pollution here and there in Ukraine. If you're asking whether it is safe to visit such spots shortly, I'd say "yes". Ukrained 18:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I think this article is already quite good, but it needs some improvement of English language preferrably by a native English speaker. I am not a native speaker, but I see some mistakes. It could also use some more references. Andries (talk) 08:37, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I can understand that in English we write Kharkov with Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk with Dnipropetrovsk. But why Cherkassy with two ss and in Russian? Russian is not official language in Ukraine and I hope never will be. Also English speaking people don't care if Cherkasy is wtitten with two ss or with one. So lets keep only Ukrainian wersion Cherkasy with one s. T--68.36.49.223 (talk) 16:09, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
