People, I don't like both the look and the content of this table. On the look: after you renamed oblasts in 2004 (while I, the founder of the Subdivisions topic :)), was absent), the oblast names look typically ambiguous :(. Seeing the title Poltava for both the Poltava Oblast (instead of Poltavska) and the Poltava proper links, the reader simply suspects editing mistake!! So I think the links for oblasts should be named in full. I guess it would make the table larger and less editable - but not confusing.
On content: having 25 principal cities for such a non-important world country as Ukraine is boring. You'd say: that's encyclopedia! But I ask: how many Americans know 25 principal U.S. cities? Practically, I'd never call Lutsk or Kirovohrad (with all my respect) a "principal city" in a political and/or economic sense. And, BTW, who's gonna develop all those 25 city pages :)))? My suggestions are (variants):
- ten or better five biggest cities (by population)
- cities that represent typical regional subcultures:
