257:. That happened when Ukraine was a part of Soviet Union, so the vast majority of first-hand information available was written in Russian, the SU official language. Hence the 'Chernobyl' transcription from Russian language got recorded and still exists in most of written sources, while the 'Chornobyl' transcription from Ukrainian language remains much less known. Knowledge does not try to set any standards or judge on correctness, but rather just summarize and report what reliable sources say. When the use of 'Chornobyl' prevails over 'Chernobyl' in English–language TV news, newspapers & books, then Knowledge almost surely will change it, too. --

Don't worry too much about it, Colin, I already took care of it. No need to fret over such a small thing as not knowing something like what Janner means. There's things we all don't know. We don't all feel the need to advertise it though. It takes a strong person to admit to their own ignorance.

Hi! Knowledge is using russian spelling of
Chornobyl. "ChErnobyl" spelling is russian and incorrect. You should use either ukrainian version or create a new english one. But using russian spelling in English is incorrect. Chornobyl page is blocked from editing, so please correct it. Thank you. Taras

Hi, I was trying to fix what I think is a mistake and now have myself confused, so I hope this makes sense. I think there may be a problem with a redirected template and can't figure how to fix it. Basically an editor was adding the template {{Contract
Research Organizations}} to articles resulting

Thanks, I had myself confused over something easy. I was actually trying to edit the wrong template page. I also think the redirect was meant to be to the lower case template, and the editor leftout the template part.

If a template says someone need to find references for particular phrase (not a catchphrase, but a spelled-out acronym) would I just look for reputable sources using it in their writings or is there something else?
