Dialect/Language

[edit]

In the end of the article it says: "Only a few of them still speak the Swedish dialect fluently." Is dialect really the right word, don't you mean language? Suladna —Preceding comment was added at 18:39, 6 November 2007 (UTC) It's not the Swedish they're speaking, but a severely Germanized and Ukrainized version of Old Swedish, thus, a dialect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.112.71.212 (talk) 07:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chumak

[edit]

The article states that "in 1994, Chumak, a Swedish-owned company that produces oil, ketchup and canned food, was established in the nearby town of Kakhovka."

Chumaks official website[[1]] says "Chumak history traces back to May 29, 1996, when the company was launched". Is there a good explanation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.226.10.64 (talk) 00:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Verbivka

[edit]

Per WP:COMMONNAME, I removed "Verbivka" from the start of the lede. Although the village did have that name for about four years before being integrated with Zmiivka, Gammalsvenskby is used much more frequently. I could only find two sources that mentioned the name "Verbivka" and even those primarily used Gammalsvenskby for both historic and modern mentions. Carter (talk) 15:11, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
