Talk:Pryluky

Issues with the article

I've added some tags to the article, as there are many opinions and value judgement expressed in what is otherwise a well-written article. Some examples: "citizens always staunchly defended Pryluky, fighting for their freedom and dignity", "The fertile soil of the Udai basin proved itself attractive not only to marauders, but also to hard-working people fleeing from backbreaking toil", "the entire Pryluky Regiment of Cossacks, led by I. Shkurat, died fighting valiantly in the Battle of Berestechko in 1651", "the city of Pryluky looked quite formidably at the time", etc. It reads very well, just not like a Wikipedia article but a glorification. I could do it myself if it was just a case of re-writing the article in a more encyclopedic tone that doesn't read like a personal essay, but sadly it lacks any sources for the city's history before the 1940s. It would be great if someone with more time on their hands and interest in this area could do this topic justice, as Pryluky's history is clearly fascinating. --Pitsarotta (talk) 08:55, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed from the article

"The population of Pryluky is a little over 60,000 people. The city's share in the economy of the Chernihiv region is 70% and each year the city contributes 1% of revenues to the State Budget of Ukraine. While our social situation compares favorably with other cites, we can still make improvements. If we succeed in creating a tourist center in Pryluky, and in developing tours of local sights associated with Ukrainian history and culture, we will be able to increase the number of jobs in tourist and associated businesses. Tourism should be developed more intensively in Pryluky because this city played an important role in Ukraine's history. There is a monastery in the nearby town of Hustyn; which, as the village of Kaliuzhyntsi, was where kobza-player Oleksa Veresai was born. There are also landscape and architectural structures in Sokyryntsi and Kachanivka. We should change our mentality and encourage people's creativity. Creative people are more likely to find money for reconstructing roads and building and renovating hotels and cafes, attracting sponsors, and successfully promoting the city. People, and their creative potential, are the main assets of the city of Pryluky."
