Russian name variant

Since Sumy is in the eastern part of Ukraine, adding the Russian variant is completely appropriate and a citation tag is ridiculous. --Taivo (talk) 23:07, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But the Russian language is NOT official language in Ukraine. So the city of Sumy spelled in Russian is NOT appropriate. --68.36.49.223 (talk) 23:44, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Russian variants do no require citation

Standard Wikipedia practice in eastern Ukrainian, where as many as half of the population speaks Russian natively, is to include the Russian variants on placenames. No citation is necessary any more than a citation is necessary for placing the Ukrainian variant in placenames where the majority of the community speaks Russian as their first language (as in the Crimea). The citation tags were nothing more than WP:POINTy editing by an anonymous editor who is pushing an anti-Russian Ukrainian POV. Citations are not necessary for these things. --Taivo (talk) 02:21, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
