External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 4 external links on Kiev. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20131203020408/http://www.ucipr.kiev.ua/publications/electronic-bulletin-your-choice-2012-issue-4-batkivshchyna/lang/en to http://www.ucipr.kiev.ua/publications/electronic-bulletin-your-choice-2012-issue-4-batkivshchyna/lang/en
Corrected formatting/usage for http://archive.is/20120530043944/https%3A//tspace.library.utoronto.ca/citd/RussianHeritage/4.PEAS/4.L/12.III.5.html
Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.jpeopleworld.com/index.php?dir=site&page=country&subj_cs=4755
Corrected formatting/usage for http://www.ukma.kiev.ua/eng_site/index.php

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Foundation of Kiev

482 should be the date for Kiev's foundation date? It's not true. Are wikipedia articles become complete a joke ?

Here is the used source for this article: "To mark an alternative birthday of Kyiv, about 100 activists gathered in Hostynniy Dvir, an historic building in the Podil district, to celebrate and to protest against plans to turn the site into yet another shopping mall."

https://www.kyivpost.com/article/guide/about-kyiv/kyivs-1530th-birthday-marked-with-fun-protest-1-128618.html

Please correct the foundation date and use the correct official date from documents. Hope someone will correct this when Wikipedia should not become even more untrustworthy and irrelevant in the future. --92.196.50.138 (talk) 00:07, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 3 October 2017

The request to rename this article to Kyiv has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Kiev → Kyiv – Official name of the capital of Ukraine is Kyiv, official logo of the city in English says „Kyiv”, the name "Kyiv" is very often used in official documents of many countries and in the press, so the current title of the article can confuse Wikipedia readers. 46.63.38.5 (talk) 01:16, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
