GINI rank

To editor Karl.i.biased: I've returned to status quo ante. The onus is on you. Explain. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:21, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern or Central Europe?

On which exactly basis the article defines Ukraine as a part of "Eastern Europe"? I suggest that geographical position of Ukraine is completely suitable to name it a part of Central Europe. And this definition have to be included in Wikipedia as an alternative variant, at least. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.222.146.79 (talk) 19:30, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

another fight between nationalists

To editor Chester Leszek: Why are you making an edit that a now blocked editor made previously? Are you him? The areas controlled by Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Grand Duchy of Lithuania differed and only the latter seems applicable to Ukraine. Chris Troutman (talk) 06:09, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because he was right? Are you attempting to deny Ukraine was under the Poland-Lithuanin Commonwelath? -Chester Leszek (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:13, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You need to tell readers what the pro-Russian protesters are doing?

To editor Blast furnace chip worker: I have reverted you because the URL you provided from Hromadske.TV doesn't back up what you claim. Your words evince a partisan outlook. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:30, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The the URL I provided from Hromadske.TV do back up what I claim. Blast furnace chip worker (talk) 20:48, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not from what I see. I reverted you again because this cite not only doesn't support your claims, it looks like partisan screed. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:51, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Blast furnace chip worker: You still don't have consensus. Please revert yourself and discuss. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:13, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to discuss. File:2014-04-17Мітинг у Донецьку 10.jpg has been added with text and link. The original text is added in the comment to the edition. Blast furnace chip worker (talk) 21:24, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
