The city has been renamed to Dnipro

The city has been officially renamed to "Дніпро" (in Ukrainian) by the Ukrainian parliament. In English, the city now should read "Dnipro" (in Russian - "Днипро"). The renaming has already come into effect, and the Ukrainian wikipedia has already been updated. Please update the article name and the name of the city throughout the article. --Maximaximum (talk) 11:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

This is nonsense. The renaming of this article needn't be a matter of discussion. The petty efforts to block it are pathetic.

May be if you had more that 61 edits on this project you would know that we have policies, and not everything you do not like is nonsense.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:28, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
You're so full of shit. It isn't about my likes or dislikes, but about your and your clique's ridiculous petty efforts to abuse formal procedures to postpone the inevitable. You know just well as I do English language sources will cease to call the city both Dnipro- and Dnepropetrovsk and the only obvious and logical substitute for the old name is Dnipro.

The city was officially renamed on the 16-th of May 2016 (Рада перейменувала Дніпропетровськ на Дніпро, Template:Ref-uk). — Oranserb 1 (talk) 16:08, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Last time I checked, Wikimedia Foundation was not subordinate to the Rada.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:24, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Number of Jews left in Dnepropetrovsk

During the German occupation ... but soon after the Nazis conquered the city on October 12, 1941, 11,000 were shot; in the end only 15 Jews of Dnipropetrovsk survived at the end of the war.

What is the source for "15 Jews"? 13:54, 12 March 2006 212.199.52.46

The figure of 15 seems most unlikely. Synagogues are a lot more prominent in Dnepropetrovsk today than in London.--Toddy1 12:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd say, approx percentage of jews in the population is about 20. Another 20 percent are mixed blood ones (half-breed) jews. The most powerful persons and citizens are jews. (Kolomoyski, for instance). It is a jewish city, allright. I am a citizen of Dnipropetrovs'k —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.198.155.185 (talk) 11:10, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

There is a website for the Dnepropetrovsk Jewish community.--Toddy1 (talk) 18:25, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
