Steel industry
I moved the paragraph on Krivorizhstal to its own section because it was a non-sequitur with discussions about the post-war era. Perhaps someone else could fill in more detail about the steel industry in Krivyi Rih, given that it is important to the town's history and industrial heritage/future.

the name used in the English language
Search on Google - pages from the United Kingdom only.
 * "Krivoy Rog" = 17,400
 * "Kryvyi Rih" = 11,500

--Andriy155 (talk) 07:16, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * "Krivoy Rog" = 12,000
 * "Kryvyi Rih" = 14,000 - again, this is just limiting to the UK webpages. Similar case for Canada. However, it seems as though, it is still important to keep the old russyphied version as it is also popular (even though not as popular).

Lets use translation from from Ukrainian language, and it is KRYVYI RIH! --24.0.177.155 (talk) 15:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)


 * This is English language Wikipedia, not Ukrainian language. And please do not leave racist abuse in your edit summaries like you did earlier today.--Toddy1 (talk) 15:59, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * After reading this section, I made a redirection page some days ago, pointing from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryvyi_Rog to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryvyi_Rih. (Verheyen Vincent (talk) 09:16, 3 December 2016 (UTC))

Better main pic?


The current picture of a beautiful park doesn't say much on the East. Europe's main steel industry city. We need vast urban skylines, poisoning chimneys:) and possibly skyscrapers. Happy edits, Ukrained (talk) 08:54, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I can make a collage photograph much like the one on the Rivne article. Looking thru the WikiCommons, the photos they have there aren't any much better! But i'll see how it comes out anyways. --ddima (talk) 17:53, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

How long is the city
Whilst I realise that many websites claim that the city is over a hundred kilometres long, reference to a map shows that this isn't true.--Toddy1 (talk) 16:52, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I would also like to know where that claim comes from. According to my measurement (using google maps) the two furthest point inside the city area are 66 km apart.—caoimhinoc (talk) 11:28, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * "According to the official website of the city council, the length of the city as of 2019 is 126 km [4], however, the linear distance between the extreme southern and northern points on the city limits is almost twice less and is 66.1 km" - Google Translate translation from https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%A0%D1%96%D0%B3
 * " І є найдовшим містом Європи. Згідно з даними офіційного сайту міської ради, довжина міста станом на 2019 рік — 126 км, разом з цим лінійна відстань між крайніми південною та північною точками на межі міста є майже удвічі меншою і становить 66,1 км " Mferrer (talk) 22:09, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

The physical distance couldn't be measured just with the help of a satelite in mid-XX century. Many short roadways didn't exist. There is an option that it was measured bypassing around the city, which is the most common way of measuring such a crooked and weaved object. So you'd know, nowadays some different blog guys on Youtube tried passing the city on foot with a G-Maps, in the shortest possible ways, while counting the actual distance, it was a couple of times. And always they were getting the same number: a little under 89km…So it seems right that it is about 120km when you bypass it around. Personally I don't care about its length at all, especially considering the fact that 67km is still #1 lenghth in Europe ;) Just trying to figure it out right.

An error, spotted before I got far into the article
Currently the article says "On May 8, 1775, ... Russian authorities opened a postal station and railway track," This can't possibly be right. Perhaps what happened around 1775 was the opening of some road. I suppose many other statements in this article should be carefully examined for accuracy.
