These "referendums" have nothing to do with the free, democratic expression of the will of the people, as they were held under conditions of Russian terror, psychological pressure and persecution of Ukrainian citizens and Ukrainian activists, whom the occupying Russian authorities threw and continue to throw into prisons, torture chambers and filtration camps. They also violate international and Ukrainian legislation..[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] This above excerpt must be included in the article.Wise2 (talk) 05:02, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it not "referenda" instead of "referendums?"

Apologies if this is answered by a wiki style guide but M-W seems to indicate "referenda" is preferred? Ccollum92 (talk) 03:21, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia mostly (with few exceptions) tries to mirror the wording found in reliable sources discussing the topic. Most sources say about this topic say "referendums", e.g. the first citation, a Reuters report has: five days of voting in so-called referendums that Kyiv and the West denounced as a sham. So Wikipedia follows that. regards, TryKid [dubious – discuss] 10:10, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ODE, Collins, Cambridge, AHD, and Random House (Dictionary.com) all say plural “referendums or referenda.”  —Michael Z. 16:16, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
