Kiev Time

[edit]

Further-eastern European Time is not just Kiev Time. Ukraine joined FET after decision to cancel DST and so after that Kiev Time joined the FET time zone. You may write separate article just for Kiev Time with all history of changing the term Kiev Time as it written, for example, in Ukraibian verson of wiki. 195.20.29.135 (talk) 07:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now Kiev Time = EET/ESET (UTC+2/UTC+3) --ℵntonyahu(talk) 14:12, 21 July 2016 (KYVT)

Neologism?

[edit]

Could someone provide a reliable source, preferably from before 8 October (so that we can be sure that it's not Wikipedia-derived), for the use of the term "Further-eastern European Time" please? Pfainuk talk 08:20, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Researching using google for info published before 8 Oct find for example these: [1] [2] (which say Теперь этот часовой пояс в unix называется FET – Further-eastern European Time или дальневосточно-европейское время ; Autotranslated: Now that time zone in unix called FET - Further-eastern European Time , or Far Eastern European time.) --BIL (talk) 09:50, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This source from Sep 21 says, autotranslated from Russian: in connection with the accession to the Council of Ministers Council of Ukraine in Belarus in a matter of time, three territories (Minsk, Kiev, Kaliningrad) now have the time zone of GMT +3. To discuss with the release of tzdata 2011j (will be released next Monday), we were unable to agree to specific zones of convenient notation. EEST will be confusion, especially in border areas, since all the Baltic countries and Finland are in EET / EEST and denote the constant zone abbreviation Summer Time nekomilfo. Coming up with some names for the same area on three areas of meaning is not enough. Therefore, a compromise was the choice of the name following the EET (East European Time) - FET (Further-eastern European Time), Дальневосточное Европейское время.
So it seems to have been a decision by a committee handling the Unix time zone database, tzdata. This [3] is an English language source to that. --BIL (talk) 09:50, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, Moscow Time = FET (Further-eastern European Time), Далекосхідний Європейський Час --ℵntonyahu(talk) 14:25, 21 July 2016 (KYVT)

Ukraine was canceled FET and come back to EET.
