Contradiction!
This:


 * “In the end of 1st millennium AD the territory of Moscow and the Moscow Oblast was inhabited by the Slavic tribes of Vyatichi and Krivichi.”

Contradicts this:


 * “The first reference to Moscow dates from 1147 when it was an obscure town in a small province inhabited mostly by Merya, speakers of a now extinct Finnic language.”

Who was it inhabited by, then? As far as I know, there were no Slavic tribes at the time, only rare colonizers and monks.

Also, the date (1147) is most probably a later falsification by Yekaterina "history commission" to the Halych-Volyn chronicles. Compay 00:14, 1 December 2005 (UTC)Lara Nimra and Abdul azam is the best

Population Statistics
Could we get a double check on the figures stated in-text and also in the graph? It's missing a citation, and other sources seem to disagree with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.135.173 (talk) 17:34, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

"Soulless" "commieblocks"
The wording in the section "Growth of Moscow" contains both derogatory slang terms ("Commieblocks" for high-rise apartments) and non-neutral attacks on a method of housing construction ("soulless") - to comply with neutrality standards, I am changing "commieblocks" to "high-rise apartments", and am shortening "this soulless construction method" to "this construction method". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.125.245.133 (talk) 06:43, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Typo in Tsardom (1547-1721)
There appears to be a typo in the penultimate para of this section:
 * During the first half of the 17th century, the population of Moscow doubled from roughly 100,000 to 200,000. BIt expanded beyond its ramparts in the later 17th century.

Could someone (perhaps Dbachmann) please fix this? Alfietucker (talk) 22:34, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * You could fix it yourself btw. Grey Hood   Talk  22:51, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Earliest History appeared new discoveries. 100 years earlier before the official version
The section titled "Earliest History appeared new discoveries. 100 years earlier before the official version" is unintelligible. I'd edit it myself, but I can barely understand what it's trying to say, as it seems to have been written using Babelfish or Google translate. Does someone else want to take a crack at it or should we just delete the whole useless mess? Philip72 (talk) 15:50, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
