If you are interested in Ukraine-related themes, you may want to check out the Ukraine Portal, particularly the Portal:Ukraine/New article announcements and Portal:Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board. The New article announcements board is probably the most important and the most attended one. Please don't forget to announce there the new articles you create. Adding both boards to your watchlist is probably a good idea.

Finally, in case you are interested, similar boards exist at Russia portal as many editors contribute to topics related to both countries. The respective boards there are: Portal:Russia/New article announcements and Portal:Russia/Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. Of course there are also many other portals at Wikipedia or you may just get right into editing.

Kiev->Kyiv
The issue of naming of the city on wiki was a subject of multiple discussion (see Talk:Kiev/naming) including at least two WP:RM request. The consensus so far was that Kiev so far is the most common English name of the city and so Kiev is the name that should be used. Please do not change it now, it will be considered vandalism. Maybe in a couple of year another WP:RM would have different result. At any rate please do not change the image names: it just made them unusable. Thanks for understanding Alex Bakharev (talk) 08:10, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
