"Like my mom would say, "IT IS ABOUT TIME!""

"say no to russian spelling!!!!"

"Writers and journalists do not use the term, "Aytalia" to pronounce Italia ("Eetalia"), why is it different for Kyiv? Kiev is a Russified version of Kyiv and is highly offensive to all Ukrainians. it is like calling the USA a colony of Britain."

"KYIV not KIEV"

"The signer has hidden his/her comment from public view. The comment is only available for the petition author and target to view."

"Another example of poor American reporting and literature."

"Yes, Kyiv and Lviv please too!"

"Surprised that NY Times has not made the change to the correct name!"

"MAKE IT KYIV, please."

"The signer has hidden his/her comment from public view. The comment is only available for the petition author and target to view."

"Correct transliteration of Ukrainian geographic names doesn’t make a lot of difference to the average Joe, but to it does to me and all people of Ukrainian roots!"

"it should be kyiv"

"How long do we have to fight this fight? Let's finally win this one."

"Given the legacy of Walter Duranty's heinous lies regarding Stalin's Ukrainian Terror Famine of 1933 while working for the New York Times, it would seem appropriate that the Times at the very least get the spelling right for the capital of Ukraine."

"It's about time."

"This correction of Kyiv is seriously overdue!"

"This is embarrasing for such a worlwide recognised publication to be making 'schoolboy' errors like this."

"excellent"

"The correct spelling is KYIV"

"It is laudatory that the useage policy of the respectable NYT requires that a city name be transliterated from its native version and not from a foreign one; accordingly, the capital of Ukraine ought be rendered K-Y-I-V."
