Steel industry
I moved the paragraph on Krivorizhstal to its own section because it was a non-sequitur with discussions about the post-war era. Perhaps someone else could fill in more detail about the steel industry in Krivyi Rih, given that it is important to the town's history and industrial heritage/future.

the name used in the English language
Search on Google - pages from the United Kingdom only.
- "Krivoy Rog" = 17,400
- "Kryvyi Rih" = 11,500

- My search of all English pages gives more for "Kryvyi Rih". Ostap 19:05, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
- Mine too:
- "Krivoy Rog" = 12,000
- "Kryvyi Rih" = 14,000 - again, this is just limiting to the UK webpages. Similar case for Canada. However, it seems as though, it is still important to keep the old russyphied version as it is also popular (even though not as popular).

Lets use translation from from Ukrainian language, and it is KRYVYI RIH! --24.0.177.155 (talk) 15:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
- This is English language Wikipedia, not Ukrainian language. And please do not leave racist abuse in your edit summaries like you did earlier today.--Toddy1 (talk) 15:59, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
То, что во времена Царской России название было русское, а не украинское -- это не оправдание. Сейчас ведь на территории Украины для населённых пунктов действует "Romanization of Ukrainian", а не "Romanization of Russian". Спорных топонима только 2 -- Kiev и Odessa.
How long is the city
Whilst I realise that many websites claim that the city is over a hundred kilometres long, reference to a map shows that this isn't true.--Toddy1 (talk) 16:52, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
