Talk:Pidhirtsi Castle

I am curious
"In February 1956 the castle almost completely burned"

Does anyone know how it happened? Ostap 01:55, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No idea, perhaps you should check Ukrainian sources, as Polish sources do not provide the cause of fire. 23:49, 27 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tymek (talk • contribs)

DYK suggestion

 * ...that in 1956 the Pidhirtsi Castle in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine burned for three weeks and costing $12 million in damages?--Riurik(discuss) 05:37, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Suggested here. Feel free to change.--Riurik(discuss) 05:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Good, but there is already one for the castle later down added by Tymek.. —dima/talk/ 05:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, one with no mention of Poland, one with no mention of Ukraine... Which is better? Ostap 06:01, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, we should present both to the DYK-ers, one as an alternate hook. Let's move the new suggestio0n down so that they're presented together... —dima/talk/ 16:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Didn't know about Tymek's suggestion. --Riurik(discuss) 00:49, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

"eastern borderlands of the former Commonwealth"
one minor peeve: despite of what the linked article says Pidhirtsi wasn't in the borderlands of the Commonwealth (Image:Podział administracyjny I RP.png). It only became known as "the borderlands" (kresy) during the times of the Second Republic, but in the 17th century the borders encompassed large territories known today as Greater Ukraine spaning much further to the east. --212.76.33.80 (talk) 09:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
