Bilgorog vs. Belgorod

[edit]

Here Belgorod has nothing to do with the city Belgorod in Russia. Now this is the village Bilogorodka near Kyiv. I removed the link. (user:AndriyK fogot to sign)

You probably mean BiloHorodka. That's correct. Please note however, regarding usage of other names that if there is an established English name for something it should be used regardless of whether it is derived from the language this or the other user likes. Drevlyane are even mentioned in Britannica as such. There were several exhaistive discussions about using names in WP when related to Ukraine. If you are interested, I will supply you with links. --Irpen 21:31, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong citation

[edit]

The page cites the etymology of these eastern Polans with a book about the origins of Poland, which this page explicitly states not to be their home. Also, please elaborate on the difference between "western" and "eastern" because what is here now makes both tribes out to be two splinters of the same thing. Overall all this seems like some unfounded Russian national martyrology made up to justify subjugating the neighborhood, but whatever; just don't contradict yourselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.14.72.37 (talk) 20:43, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
