Portal:Ukraine/Be bold... but timid

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

A warning is in place not to stir up a hornet's nest, like dive into an article only:

to replace Kiev with Kyiv throughout the text with the comment that Kyiv is "official", hence correct;
to replace Ukraine by Russia with the comment that there was no Ukraine until whatever years ago (or to do vice versa for that matter claiming that if something occurred in what's now Ukraine, it occurred in Ukraine no matter at what time)
to make sure that the article says that K__van Rus was a "Ukrainian state" or a "Russian state", for that matter (in a sense of modern "Russkie" and modern "Rossiya");
etc.

These all are legitimate discussion topics but they were discussed and before raising them, readers should make a good use of talk pages. Please read "Be bold!" guideline paying special attention to its "but don't be reckless!" chapter.
