I took the important stuff from the German page and added it here. I added in the twin cities based on other Wiki city sites and from other language Wikis. Olessi 02:47, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] vandalism

On May 5, 2005 at 15: 30 pm page was vandalized by 216.113.225.201

[edit] Yanukovych info pushing

I removed the following (or similar) passage(s) from not only Donets'k, but also from other Donbas pages:

During the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, the citizens of Donetsk overwhelmingly supported Viktor Yanukovych instead of his rival Viktor Yushchenko.

The reasons are:

• In this particular article, the passage was placed in the "Ethnopolitics" section with no evident connection to the section subject. WP rules say "Establish context".
• I believe such passages are highly irrelevant to any city/oblast page, even if layed down correctly. Firstly, they belong to the elections and politics pages. Secondly, we already have some generalization pages to describe the real subject of them in an academic way. Thirdly, Donbas and its cities have millions of population and two centuries of history. Now who thinks the Yanukovych (and Yushchenko) are the top figures of that history :) ?

[edit] 4th largest?

About number and composition population of UKRAINE by All-Ukrainian Population Census'2001 data: Kyiv 2611 Kharkiv 1470 Dnipropetrovs'k 1065 Odesa 1029 Donets'k 1016

Those statistics are cited in the Odessa article which claims, in contrast to this article, that Odessa not Donetsk is the fourth largest Ukrainan city. I will go ahead and edit.--Warfvinge 12:14, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Passed

This article has passed the GA noms. The following are bot-generated suggestions for improvement. The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

• Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.^[?]
• See if possible if there is a free use image that can go on the top right corner of this article.^[?]
• There may be an applicable infobox for this article. For example, see Template:Infobox Biography, Template:Infobox School, or Template:Infobox City.^[?] (Note that there might not be an applicable infobox; remember that these suggestions are not generated manually)
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 360 metre, use 360 metre, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 360 metre.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.^[?] Specifically, an example is 12 km.
• Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.^[?]
• Please make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: neighbor (A) (British: neighbour), neighbour (B) (American: neighbor), metre (B) (American: meter), ization (A) (British: isation).
• As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]^[?]
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]
