Documents in the book
The terrible documents written by murderous Germans who acted in Babi Yar can be written in the book “The good old days” by Ernst Klee and others.
Use of colorized image
I really think this article should go back to using the previous image. Right now, it's a colorized version of a photo taken by the SS. It's credited to Johannes Haehle and listed as being created on 1 October 1941, but the coloring is ex post facto. I know that colorization can bring the past to life and make it more "interesting" to modern audiences, but its accuracy and authenticity is always questionable. Since the original image was black-and-white, we should use that image. Are we going to colorize every other image of the Holocaust, too? `Sacxpert (talk) 05:32, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- The colour photographs are the original images; they have not be colourised. The entire collection can be downloaded via this link: The “Hähle Photos”: The Mass Murder of the Jewish Inhabitants of Kiev and Lubny as Seen by a Wehrmacht Propaganda Company Photographer, from the Hamburg Institute for Social Research. --K.e.coffman (talk) 05:45, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Sacxpert: I clarified the provenance of the image with this edit. --K.e.coffman (talk) 06:43, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, then I have to unreservedly apologize. I just assumed, having seem the same image in black-and-white, that it came first and the colorizing came later. Thank you for the clarification! Sacxpert (talk) 04:10, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Regarding the image currently used, I don't know if it's a particularly clear representation of the actual massacre, as opposed to its aftermath.
Kiew_Babyn_Yar_7_Bild_008-005
in the collection K.e.coffman linked in this thread also isn't an exact representation of the massacre itself, but appears to be in the more immediate aftermath of the massacre (i. e. before the Nazis undermined the wall of the ravine). File:Massacre de Babi Yar.jpg is a more clear depiction of actual shootings at Babyn Yar, but it was apparently taken in 1942, after the initial 1941 massacre. I'm not sure which photograph we should use, but I'd be most in favor of usingKiew_Babyn_Yar_7_Bild_008-005

Name change
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
- What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}): The page name should be changed to Babyn Yar
- Why it should be changed: Babi Yar is the Russian spelling in English; Babyn Yar is the Ukrainian spelling in English. This is an area in Ukraine, therefore it should be named according to its country of origin.
- References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): the very page on which I’m requesting an edit. [1]

bullet archaeology
I read that a Christian priest started a project of searching for bullets, since the Germans had a policy of 1 bullet per Jew, and so was able to determine in various small and unrecorded locations throughout Poland where and how many Jews were murdered. Has anything like this been done or planned in Babi Yar? פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 19:29, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
