History at the wrong place

The oblast was formed only after the war but as oif now the entire history section is devoted to the interwar period. This rightfully needs merged into Carpathian Ruthenia and the post-war times need to be described instead. Also, when doing so, please avoid duplicating and attempts to reproduce the History of Ukraine in 2-3 sentences of narrow articles about locations. Only what's relevant to the location belongs here rather than general phrases like "Since 1991 the territoryu became part of independent Ukraine..." So was every territory of UkrSSR. Since this is going to be written anew, let's avoid common traps. --Irpen 03:42, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New information deleted, inconsistent with Wiki standards

I am new to Wikipedia, so that is why I added explicitly "please help me edit the following reference to Wiki-standards"

Now, please, help me edit this into appropriate wiki-material:

Priest Sidor is identical with Father Dymytrij Sydor which a few years ago raised the funds to build a massive new cathedral at Uzhgorod, one of the largest in eastern Europe. The Magazine Hidden Europe (www.hiddeneurope.co.uk) reports: - - (please help me edit the following reference to Wiki-standards) - - "All eyes are now on the assembly of Ukraine's Zakarpattya Oblast which meets in Uzhgorod on 1 December. The assembly is unlikely to back Father Sydor separatist aspirations. For not only does the region have a large number of Ukrainians, but it is also home to other minorities beyond the Rusyns, notably the Hutsuls. But Dymytrij Sydor is not a man to back down easily. If the oblast assembly does not support the Rusyns claim for independence, then Father Sodor says that the Rusyn minority will consider more forceful ways of securing their goals."

Language

The only official language is Ukrainian and not any other without any exceptions. The link provided does not support the fact that in some seven villages the official language is Hungarian. That is crazy and needs to be checked as it gives bias information. And if there will be no responses on this subject it will be removed. People come up with all kinds of strange stuff like that the official language of Crimea is Russian. It is de facto language, but it does not make it automatically the official, please, refer to the Constitution of Ukraine for more information. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 03:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll clarify: minority citizens/inhabitants in 7 villages of the Muchachivskyi Raion can choose to educate their children in Hungarian. This is from the Zakarpattia Oblast State Administration website. No one is saying that Hungarian is co-official in Zakarpattia. Maybe the "Hungarian language has some official rights" part confused you.. The language just has some rights as a language of a minority in several of those villages. Though don't forget Article 10 of the Constitution: In Ukraine, the free development, use and protection of Russian, and other languages of national minorities of Ukraine, is guaranteed. Feel free to reword it to make it less confusing. —dima /talk/ 03:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only official language is Ukrainian. And I have nothing to add.Ultrasonic220 (talk) 22:42, 23 February 2009 (UTC)Ultrasonic220[reply]

Flag

Why isn't File:Zakarpattia-Oblast-flag.gif used in the infobox, and why is there a message stating Please do not include any flags into this field; the province does not have any officially-recognized flags? Can anyone explain this? ☺ Spiby ☻ 15:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The council of this oblast hasn't adopted any flag yet. This is the only oblast in Ukraine without its own flag. Iurii.Fedyshyn (talk)Iurii.Fedyshyn

A flag has been adopted! But is is slightish different the the one in the infobox. You can see a picture of the new flag here. — Mariah-Yulia (talk) 23:06, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! Thank you, Mariah-Yulia. This question was interesting for me. I looked throught the news and really this flag was adopted yesterday. Now there is a need to update this article in other languages.Iurii.Fedyshyn (talk) 22:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some comment about autonomy of Transcarpathia

Here are some comments of an author about this issue. He says that some scholars confuse "autonomy" and "self goverment status", and this is what happened on December 1991 un Ukraine. I think that it is important to include it in the article, because it show other pont of view. Here it is the reference: Kuzio, Taras "The Rusyn Question in Ukraine: sorting out fact from fiction". Canadian Review of Studies in Nationalism, XXXII, 2005.
