The Rusyns article is more specific to those who lived in the region of Velykyy Bychkiv in 1910. The Ruthenians article describes a much broader term. It is our job as Wikipedians to use to more specific term here. Khoikhoi 00:21, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please read carefully the first paragraph of the article Rusyns.
Rusyns (also referred to as Ruthenians, Ruthenes, Rusins, Carpatho-Rusyns, and Rusnaks) are a modern ethnic group that speaks the Rusyn language and are descended from the minority of Ruthenians who did not adopt a Ukrainian national identity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
This mean that the term Rusyns can be applied only to the late twentieth century, in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries they (as well as a part of Ukrainians) were Ruthenians. Moreover, most of the people living in Velykyy Bychkiv adopted Ukrainian rather than Rusyn identity (see Census results).--AndriyK 06:28, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
