Hello, I'm Mellk. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Old East Slavic, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mellk (talk) 06:35, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello Mellk! I made a change based on the artticle itself. There's the quote from terminology.

In the context of the history of Ukrainian, George Shevelov referred to historical phases of the language as Proto-Ukrainian and Old Ukrainian, using criteria based on the available sources: the PU period (up to the mid 11th century) having no sources written down by speakers in Ukraine, and the OU period (from the mid 11th to the 14th century) represented by texts chiefly compiled in Church Slavonic but preserving evidence of Old East Slavic in Ukraine.[7] The periodization of the literary language represents great changes and breaks resulting from events in cultural and political history; in contrast, the spoken language of Ukraine "shows a surprising continuity in development from prehistoric times to our day."[8] Cy83r dud3 (talk) 06:46, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It does say: "In the context of the history of Ukrainian,..." and its usage by one author. In the same article, it says that it is "sometimes called 'Old Russian'". So what makes what you changed it to, in your own words, the "true origin"? Mellk (talk) 06:55, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

So sometimes called 'Old Russian' more common 'Old Ukrainian'. There's more similarities in Old Slavic with Ukrainian than Russian. If that's not enough, there are works in the Central Government Library, but, I'm not sure if they let me to digitalize it to post here... Cy83r dud3 (talk) 07:40, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
