Further to the above, the article cannot be edited by an IP but I see no icon for a lock being placed on it. This edit by User:Berig was made on 23 January 2021 which restricts IPs from editing indefinitely. I suggest that an indefinite lock is not appropriate, and should now (4.5 years later) be removed. 14.2.199.62 (talk) 11:05, 16 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
Now that you have raised the issue of most IP editors changing Kievan to Kyivan, then I recommend that both spellings are acceptable somewhere in the article but for the purposes of this article Kievan will be used (if you can find support for that), which it currently does not therefore breaching WP:NPOV. The WP article Kyiv uses the term Kyivan, as does the Encyclopedia Brittanica and WPs sister project, Wiktionary. That would solve the issue of "Most IPs just change the spelling of Kievan to Kyivan" without resort to indefinite blocks.

The map shows two trade routes. The one further east, along the Volga, is red, while the line going from Lagoda over Nowgorod, Kiev and Crimea to Constantinople is in fact BLUE. There is no purple line, though the portion from Lagoda to Uppsala, where red and blue run side by side, might appear that way. Str1977(talk)21:56, 30 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Can someone else weigh in on this, because either I need to get my eyes checked or this line running from Uppsala to Constantinople is purple. I would think that someone would notice it during all these years it has been on the page, but you appear to be the first one claiming this. TylerBurden (talk) 15:37, 31 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
The fact is that there are shades that some people see as blue and others see as purple. Apparently, this is one of them. I, personally, see the route to Constantinople as purple. But, looking deeper into it, the part of this route that the portion where the purple and red routes run together, it DOES look more blue than the portion that is not next to the red route. But when I look at the map in another window and magnify it, both portions look distinctly purple. Bloodyviking (talk) 17:44, 31 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
