~~...that Kruty Heroes Memorial red column refers to Kiev University whence hailed the slain Ukrainian cadets?--Riurik^(discuss) 03:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)~~[reply]

~~Here is the slightly modified version submitted:~~

...that Kruty Heroes Memorial red column, located in Chernihiv Oblast, refers to Kiev University whence hailed the slain Ukrainian cadets of the 1918 Battle of Kruty?--Riurik^(discuss) 03:55, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How about "refers to the collonade of the red-coloured main building of the Kiev University whence hailed the slain" ? --Irpen 03:44, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I like it. The rephrased version is below.--Riurik^(discuss) 05:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Quote

What is so important in the quote from the opening speech to give it so prominently. This does not seem an epochal speech and there is nothing unusual in the quote either. Of course the fact that dedication and opening were made by the president of the country in person is notable and needs to be told in the article but the quote seems excessive. --Irpen 03:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The quote answers the "So what?" question. Who cares about some memorial to soldiers who died during war? Well, and here is where the quotation marks come in: the action at Kruty by young Kiev cadets is important b/c of their selfless action in defense of their country. Their act is remembered through this memorial. In sum, the quote is important b/c it is directly relevant to the memorial, was made by the president of the country during the dedication ceremony.--Riurik^(discuss) 05:12, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems an overkill to me but fine, this is a minor thing. --Irpen 05:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
