Questions[edit]

1. Who's that "kings nephew Ponyatovsky"? Is it about prince Józef Poniatowski?

2. Writing such unilateral and subjective qualifications like "oppression of the local inhabitants grew up" are unaccepable with wikipedia rules. What oppressions? Against who? Poles, Jews or Ukrainians. Somebody don't probably accept that in 14-18 century this town was a part of Kingdom of Poland, and not only Ukrainians were its inhabitants.

3. What is it "nation-liberation war" - is it english therm or transcripted Ukrainian. Its confusing, because it could be a "nation-liberation war" of Poles or maybe Russians? More apropriate is Chmielnicki/Khmelnitsky Uprising.

4. "Endless battles between Turks and Poles" - this expression is more suitable for a legend or fairy-tale, not for wikipedia. What battles (maybe wars)?

5. In the period of polish rule, the name of a city should be "Chmielnik" (according to wikipedia rule, that should be resected a name of a city in certain period) Majan (talk) 23:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have these questions been answered in the article?--Dthomsen8 (talk) 02:29, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The main source used by the historical sections of article was probably:

"Історія Міста" [History of the City], hmilnyk.osp-ua.info (in Ukrainian), Institute of Society Transformation soskin.info

The website only has this in the Ukrainian language version, not the English and Russian language versions.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:10, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
