Talk:European Russia

Map is wrong

The map at start of the article has Moscow and St. Petersburg mixed. Inside Leningrad Oblast is #1, which is in the list as Moscow, and inside Moscow oblast #2, which is listed to be St. Petersburg. 193.64.36.165 (talk) 03:18, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Ditto. I noticed this then saw the above.

why you don't improve the article but change it to a state when it doesen't make sense at all? improve it and don't be unproductive.--89.15.239.118 (talk) 22:38, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

whether Istanbul is a European city

This article says Moscow is the largest city in Europe and supports this by a link to the list of largest cities in Europe. That list notes Istanbul as the largest.

I (now) realize that some of Istanbul is in Asia, but certainly some of it is in Europe. The number supplied in the list article may be counting Asia's portion of the population, but it's considering all of it (whatever number given) to be European.

On this basis I decided to edit this article to mention that Moscow is second on that list. This edit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/991280252 reverts my immediately preceding edit with the note that Istanbul isn't a European city.

Does it really make much sense to have this article reference another which appears to counter it, and leave it that way without remark? And what does that remark look like? Do I suggest "(Istanbul is listed as larger in the confirming source article, but part of it is in Asia and so it doesn't count in this discussion.)"?

Or maybe we just omit the claim that it's the largest city in Europe? Or maybe just "the largest city completely in Europe" or "the city with the largest European population"? D. F. Schmidt (talk) 18:59, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi

we should omit it, since the city on the whole is not in Europe, just part of it (Istanbul is a transcontinental city in Eurasia).(KIENGIR (talk) 17:33, 30 November 2020 (UTC))

Ural Federal District - "overwhelmingly European" but also "predominantly" in Asia?

The Ural Federal District currently has both descriptor, which contradict one another. Should we remove that district from the list? Cortador (talk) 10:48, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
