Prypyat, not Pripyat

Latest comment: 8 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Prypyat, Pripyat is a Ukrainian city, which means that the transliteration into English should be from Ukrainian, i.e. Prypyat. Therefore, please change Pripyat to Prypyat. Oleksand Ukrains'kyy (talk) 12:43, 14 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

I agree the article title should be transliterated to match that of the country in which the settlement exists. Sadly, Wikipedia takes things like WP:COMMONNAME too far in some cases, flying in the face of common sense. - The literary leader of the age ✉ 15:33, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
