Talk:Pyetrykaw

Duplication

Petrykaw is perhaps the town's name under Polish occupation (=Petrikau). There is another Wiki page for Petrikov (with even less information) which I suspect is town's current name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.76.45 (talk) 14:37, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The town's current name is Петрыкаў according to Петрыкаў (Non-Roman Script) at GEOnet Names Server, Pyetrykaw (Approved) at GEOnet Names Server, reviewed 2011, (with variants: Petrikov and Petrikovo), and there is a great deal to say about it if one believes the Russian Wikipedia article at Петриков. The district of which it is the administrative seat is Pyetrykawski District (Pyetrykawski Rayon), Pyetrykawski Rayon (Approved) at GEOnet Names Server. --Bejnar (talk) 22:02, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Summary: move this article to Pyetrykaw, with redirect from Pietrykaw, and make Petrikov a disambiguation page. --Bejnar (talk) 22:02, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
