Talk:Kherson

Geology

Close to Kherson is an area that looks very strange from satellite: (46°36′02″N 33°02′23″E). It looks like a mining area.

I couldn't find that map there. Please, give a direct link. Sashazlv 01:10, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

New to wikipedia, didnt know about the 'discussion' tab. Ok, here it is http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=46.600556,33.039722&spn=0.3,0.3&t=k. If you zoom out a bit, you can really see that it looks strange.

This is not a mining area, but an area with sand dunes, which are partly covered by forests which have been planted since the 1950ies.

Founder

Contradicts with the Gannibal article, which says Kherson was founded by one of his sons.

Twin Cities

The previous list from 04:16 1 September 2010‎ by 68.97.46.189 was pure fantasy. None of the cities mentioned have listed Kherson among their twin cities on the respective main entries. Also, I have searched the archive for Oslo municipality and can find no mention of Kherson ever having been a twin city (they abolished twin cities some years ago, then having only agreements with Madison, WI, USA). They currently have cooperation agreements with some cities and regions, but not Kherson. --Geira (talk) 14:58, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

No "Control", not "Controlled by"

Territory being occupied during an ongoing military aggression on a country is NOT the same as "Control". Stop putting it into the infobox of this or any other city. It is also a misuse of "Smaller parts" group of parameters in "Infobox settlement" template. Flipping Switches (talk) 18:31, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

The template does not have a field "Control" nor "Occupied by". Please do not misuse inappropriate fields. Oleksandr Master (talk) 19:21, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Why don't you add the fields in that case? It can't be too hard. 46.132.47.156 (talk) 18:35, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Russian name...

I'm not sure when the Russian name/pronunciation was removed, by whom, or why, but the majority of the population there speaks Russian as their main language, so even if it weren't for the fact that it's now under Russian control, it'd still make sense to include that. The only reason I can think of for why it was removed (I found it in the history) is for political/nationalistic reasons, but this doesn't fit with NPOV. -2003:CA:874F:BB68:55F0:1353:3A3F:73E7 (talk) 20:52, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Oops, you did a badspeak. Your IP is now marked as "russian bot" status. 2A00:23C4:4EE0:A201:15E9:7F09:B7E0:8F1E (talk) 20:55, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

"Russian occupation" section

This section does not make sense. For one can not occupy a city that one founded to begin with.

Agreed, plus the Kiev government has no control over the area and the area has petitioned to join the Russian Federation. It's a Russian city occupied by the Ukraine. Article needs major restructuring, perhaps after Kherson eventually joins Russia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.126.118.233 (talk) 21:58, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

If the Ukraine government has no control over the area, the area is not "occupied by the Ukraine". And only the collaborators have petitioned to join the Russian Federation. 82.132.186.65 (talk) 17:51, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

This comment does not make sense. The city is located within internationally recognized borders of Ukraine, who founded is irrelevant. Mellk (talk) 23:54, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
