Talk:History of the Cossacks

It seems that most of the "Early History" section was written by one author and one or two references. I have put citation tags for at least a month on many paragraphs, and none have been added. I tried to find some, but could not, probably because the citations are the only sources that state the given information. If there are no objections, I will re-write the early sections, with more in-line citations. Thanks, Horlo (talk) 09:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Kozaki were and are Slavs. Stop with occultism. The term derives from the "goat-ers". Why are "historians" and "Linguists" always stealing slavic elements, cultural, mythological characters and proclaiming them as "non slavic"? Even Perun was proclaimed as "non Slavic"

{{replyto|Trevoorijk}} is attempting to add information on the gothic background of the cossacks. He is, I believe, attempting to use "{{cite book |last1=Longworth |first1=Philip |title=The Cossacks |date=1970 |publisher=Holt, Reinhart, and Winston |isbn=978-0030818554 |page=}}" as his reference. I opened this section so we could discuss it here.---- Work permit (talk) 17:18, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

:I believe you are correct as to the paper the user is referencing. I also agree that you are correct in reverting the additions: the content contended to be there simply isn't there. Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:34, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

::I even offered to help on the user talk page User_talk:Trevoorijk. I filled out a citation and asked for the page numbers to complete it. The editor was never been heard from again, never made another contribution.---- Work permit (talk) 01:40, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

At the beginning of the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth part Zaporozhian is spelled Zaporijan. Lets standardise the spelling, Zaporozhian is an appropriate and commonly used spelling of the word thus all other instances should be changed to Zaporozhian (and Zaporizhzhia) 47.229.144.239 (talk) 23:54, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
