Talk:Demographics of Crimea

Are we dealing with the demographics of the AR Crimea or the whole peninsula, including Sevastapol? I suggest the latter is more meaningful these days. PatGallacher (talk) 00:05, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

"Religion" section
I tried to find some statistics on religion, but nothing so far. All I have seen are general statements like "the Crimean Tatars are Muslim", so, essentially "90% Christian, 10% Muslim", but obviously we need actual statistics (viz., prevalence of non-religion, Christian confessional divisions, etc.). --dab (𒁳) 12:15, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Crimea became Russia’s very own holy place. Christian priests are being threatened and kidnapped in Crimea by Russian forces   . Crimea's Catholics make up around 10 percent  and have no legal status according to the article. According to the World Jewish Congress, there are some 15,000 Jews in Crimea .

 * This is interesting. They considered making it a Jewish homeland before Palestine. USchick (talk) 20:45, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

"become to account for"
An editor is making the following change from (changed part in bold):
 * exiled Crimean Tatars began returning to their homeland and would become 10% of the population by the beginning of the 21st century

to
 * exiled Crimean Tatars began returning to their homeland and become to acount for 10% of the population by the beginning of the 21st century.

The "would become" construction is acceptable English. The "become to acount for" construction is not acceptable English.-- Toddy1 (talk) 13:59, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I have alredy agreed with you that such construction isn't used in English, but I can't understand why construction "would become" pointing out future action were applied here. In my opinion we have a deal with action which happened in the past, so we have to use Past Simple tense to express it but not Future-in-the-Past. Sergey Tsvigun (talk) 15:16, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The "would become" construction is used to discuss dinosaurs, and they are very much in the past:
 * "But these specimens, fragmentary vertebrae and limb bones, were only the first trickle of what would become a flood of German prosauropods."
 * "prosauropods gave rise to the true sauropods, the familiar long-necked giants that would become the top herbivores for the next 100 million years."
 * 'In later ceratopsians these horns would become enormous structures to complement additional horns on the top of the skull."
 * "He doubted that dinosaurs would become extinct merely because of climatic changes."
 * "Late Triassic dinosaurs were found in the regions that would become Northern Europe"
 * " And who would have imagined it would become possible to figure out the colours of some of the feathered dinosaurs"*
