Talk:Korosten

Jewish town

Someone should add (I have poor verbal skillz) that Korosten was a town with a very large Jewish population and Jewish culture, prior to the collapse of USSR. Now there are almost no Jews left in Korosten.— Precedingunsignedcomment added byJudenrat(talk•contribs)17:27, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Contradiction

The article statesAfter the (Cheronbyl) nuclear incident,the city was declared a zone of voluntary evacuation, as it had suffered considerable falloutBut now 65,000 live there. So what happened? Did people refuse to evacuate or was it later deemed safe fro them to return? 20:02, 25 September 2016 (UTC)— Precedingunsignedcomment added by86.166.79.54(talk)

Orphaned references inKorosten

I check pages listed inCategory:Pages with incorrect ref formattingto try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content fororphaned referencesin wikilinked articles. I have found content for some ofKorosten's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct forthisarticle, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "kiaupa":

• FromGrand Duchy of Lithuania:Kiaupa, Zigmantas; Jūratė Kiaupienė; Albinas Kunevičius (2000) [1995]. "Establishment of the State".The History of Lithuania Before 1795(English ed.). Vilnius: Lithuanian Institute of History. pp. 45–72.ISBN9986-810-13-2.
• FromBattle of Blue Waters:Kiaupa, Zigmantas; Kiaupienė, Jūratė; Kunevičius, Albinas (2000).The History of Lithuania Before 1795.Vilnius: Lithuanian Institute of History. p. 121.ISBN9986-810-13-2.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.AnomieBOT⚡02:35, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Deity (Khors or Xors)

The comment connecting to a supposedly Greek sun god is a) unreferenced, and b) looks like somebody's personal theory or a popular etymology. Look for instance at a dedicated scientific paperhere,at Wiki's ownDeities of Slavic religion:Xors Dazhbog, and less academic, but nicely put togetherhere.Arminden(talk)08:21, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
