Talk:Horlivka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the following passage:

In the 2004 elections, Horlivka, in common with much of eastern Ukraine, voted heavily in favour of Viktor Yanukovych, and was the scene of a rally in his support on November 23 2004, attended by approximately 15,000 people.

And the reasons are:

• if we notice Yanukovych's election results in every respective city page (including cities where people have been forced to support him), Jimbo Wales would soon run out of servers :)
• the rally of 15,000 people is too small even for Horlivka, not to mention irrelevant, not to mention they were gathered forcibly.

I'll state for the record that I wasn't deliberately POV-pushing when I included that passage - it was simply that it was one of the few facts I could gather about the city through casual googling! I know very little about Ukrainian politics - I couldn't begin to comment on whether the people were "gathered forcibly" - but your main point makes sense and I'm happy to accept that that paragraph should be left out. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 21:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
