Haydamak or "Haidamaka"?
Sources I've looked in (Encyclopedia Britannica, www.dictionarist.com) refer to these Ukrainian rebels as "Haydamaks", or Haydamak when referring to an individual. Not being an expert myself, I hesitate to suggest that the article should be moved to Haydamak: but I don't know whether it's standard in English language reference works to call them Haidamaka. Can anyone advise/help? Alfietucker (talk) 16:39, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * There is no single standard. Current spelling reflects the original better.Galassi (talk) 16:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The rules of transliteration exist! і after a = ї; й = у!--Юе Артеміс (talk) 08:15, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't think the point here is the use of an i or y, but the "a" at the end of the word. The singular in Ukrainian is гайдамак, not гайдамака. I cannot understand why there is an a at the end of this word. Following current transliteration the word should be "Haidamak." lubap — Preceding undated comment added 07:17, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

W
in your source don't have information about poem 1823 (dedicated Vasyl Hryhorovych) --Yuriy Urban (talk) 20:44, 5 January 2018 (UTC)


 * You are welcome to add info about 1823 version. By the way Ukrainian wikipedia article uk:Гайдамаки (поема) says nothing about 1823 version. What is your reference? By the way, you are writing Haydamaky (poem) without any footnotes whatsoever. Please read English wikipedi rules WP:CITE, WP:RS. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:51, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * ? wtf. No poems 1823. Haydamaky publication in 1841 years. Your link does not contain information about 1823. This is a lie --Yuriy Urban (talk) 20:56, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * wtf back. Where do you see 1823 in the article Haidamaka? Staszek Lem (talk) 20:59, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Here. In you version must be verification "dedicated Vasyl Ivanovych Hryhorovych" --Yuriy Urban (talk) 21:08, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Haydamak is purely of Slavic origin

Term Haydamak simply means "Hayd" or "(H)Iti" or "to go" (to go away) and Mak simply means "makniti" (to move away, to swing away). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:EE2:2D01:BD00:D89B:DEC7:7E40:675B (talk) 18:27, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
