Language

[edit]

I'm not a native speaker of Russian or Ukrainian. As such, corrections to the introductory sentence are especially welcome. E.g., is the market's name (from the website) Russian or Ukrainian? Sandstein 15:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is Russian. —DDima (talk) 20:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seventh or Seven

[edit]

Is it supposed to be Seventh or Seven? I always thought it was 7.Travb 23:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean as a matter of the English language? Then it's Seventh, as the market is on the seventh kilometer of the airport road. Seven-Kilometer-Market would make sense if the market was seven km long, or something like that. Sandstein 05:36, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

the collapse of Communism

[edit]

It is written "Founded in 1989 after the collapse of Communism, it is now possibly the largest market in Europe." But i think (I know) communism collapsed in 1991. How 1989 can be after 1991. Sorry for my bad english. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.77.216.15 (talkcontribs).

USA government think that collapse has started in 1991 (www.state.gov). Actually market foundation made possible because of Perestroika reforms. But I agree - some rewording will be fine. --TAG 16:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weasel words

[edit]

"rent for up to USD 6,000 (EUR 4,700) or more per month." - that doesn't actually tell us anything. Something like "rent for an average of $x per month, with some over $y (as of #date)" would be better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M0ffx (talkcontribs)

Sure. Feel free to add this once you find a source for it. As it is, we have only what the NYT wrote. Sandstein 11:22, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kilometre not Kilometer

[edit]

Americans don't use the metric system therefore the American dialect should not be used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.77.132.246 (talk) 15:30, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
