 * Hello, thank you for the note. I'm new in wikipedia community and wanted to edit wrong spelled "Kiev" to "Kyiv". Here's an article about importance of it: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/kyiv-not-kiev-why-spelling-matters-in-ukraines-quest-for-an-independent-identity/ Mykolakhod (talk) 14:45, 19 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Dang. I...did not know that. Thanks for the article, I've learnt something new today.
 * The problem is that every source mentions her as Anne of Kiev. The Kyiv vs Kiev battle is all well and good, but she is known as Anne of Kiev. WP:COMMON NAME might have some clarification on the subject.
 * On an unrelated note, because you're new, I would recommend sifting through some policy pages to get a better understanding of Wikipedia. I know some of it looks complicated, but you'll get the hang of it! -- Roundish   ⋆  t c) 15:10, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You misunderstand. The word you changed was not about the city of Kyiv. It was the about the Ancient kingdom of Kievan Rus, and that's why she is called "Kiev". It means she was "Princess of Kievan Rus", not "Princess of the city of Kyiv". That is the general rule about royalty in Wikipedia. If you want to change that, you have to go to the article of Kievan Rus and change name of that article. And I doubt that change will hapen, since that was the name of a Kingdom which excisted before both Ukraine and Russia excisted, not the name of a city, and it is the name used about this kingdom in modern scholarly litterature. But you can go to that article and try.--Aciram (talk) 15:11, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explanation. I should have started with general names of Kyiv, you're right. It might be a dead end with this Kiev vs Kyiv battle, cause a lot of sources are in russian, which is not the prior language or spelling wise of the city Kyiv. The city itself was founded by a guy named Kyi (not Kie). I'll look into the rules tho, thank you! Mykolakhod (talk) 16:03, 19 November 2022 (UTC)


 * The consensus (WP:KIEV or WP:KYIV) is to use "Kiev" in historical contexts. Mellk (talk) 03:18, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
