Have to erase the historically and politically incorrect statement on Rostov-on-Don being the proverbial *Gateway to the Caucasus*. That is the reflection of the old rivalry between the city of Rostov and the city of Stavropol. All the history books and monographs clearly state that Stavropol, founded back in 1777, has been the Gateway ever since. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.212.174.140 ( talk) 20:18, 2 February 2005 (UTC)
I wonder if mentioning the serial killer Chikatilo is appropriate in this article. I would certainly edit it out. ISasha | talk 9:52, Feb. 17, 2006 (MSK)
Why do you write Rostov-On-Don? The Don is a river, therefore it should be Rostov-on-the-Don! Note, that the german translation is already correct "Rostow-am-Don" (am = an dem = on the). http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostow_am_Don —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.34.13.172 ( talk) 16:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC).
I have to erase the sentence about Chikatilo because he didn't live in Rostov he lived in Novcherkassk. He was tried in Rostov though.

'the collapse of communism' should be replaced by 'the collapse of USSR'. One should know that communism did not collapse because there were no communism, it was said to be in process of building. it was the Soviet Union which collapsed.

The term "Great Patriotic War" is not used outside of the former Soviet Union. In all English speaking countries it is called World War II. Since this is an English-language article, I am going to change it to the conventional term used in English. Udibi ( talk) 04:57, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Too bad there isn't a map with Rostov in the middle, instead of on the left edge. We can see where it is within Russia, but not where it is relative to locations that an Englsh-speaking wikipedia reader would be familar with, e.g. eastern Europe, the Black Sea, Turkey, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.11.121 ( talk) 03:57, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

There is a bad news. The top image (Stela «City of Military Glory» with red flags) and right bottom image (Pokrovskaya church) break a law "No FOP in Russia" :(see commons:Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#Russia). -- Andrew Krizhanovsky ( talk) 13:19, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
In British English it's absolutely standard practice to have no article in place-names that include 'on' or 'upon'. Consider, for example: Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Stoke-on-Trent, Stratford-upon-Avon, Henley-on-Thames, etc. (This is in reply to an earlier, rather old suggestion that 'the' should be included).

What is missing from the city timeline? Please add relevant content. Thank you. -- M2545 ( talk) 11:02, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

"Other facilities" section mentions that there's a Starbucks and claims that that is rare in this region of Russia. Given that there are now two and there are several in a relatively close city I think this is wrong. There was no citation to justify the rarity of Starbuckses so maybe the whole mention should go? If this was the first city in the region to get one and that was considered a notable event locally then maybe there's a news source that covers it, otherwise it's unnecessary. Dichohecho ( talk) 12:27, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
Good morning. The paragraph "Notable people" is organized and structured very badly, to the point that I would rather not change anything, because I could be wrong, since in some parts it is not understandable at all, and in all other parts almost nothing is understood. For example, it's not clear (due to the incorrect or lack of use of commas, to distinguish one known person from another) who is who (e.g., the name of a singer is present, but his genre (i.e. 'classical') is not specified; the singer in question is Yuri Bashmet; its genre is not "pop", but "classical" (within the subparagraph "Musicians, composers and singers")). Could someone take care of the paragraph I refer to and put it in order? JackkBrown ( talk) 13:39, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
