South Sakhalin dispute
Is there really one? I mean, on an official level? Andelarion 23:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Nope. Made up by the article author.--Theocide 23:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

War Paragraph
The text in the following paragraph is in need of a citation. Other articles, like the one on Operation August Storm, provides sources to the contrary. In addition to that, do conclusions like this actually belong in this article? Perhaps they may be better addressed in the Surrender of Japan page or elsewhere.

"Japan's decision to surrender was made before the scale of the Soviet attack on Manchuria, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands was known..." Penkov 14:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

not a single source
the whole article could be deleted, there is no sources back anything up what it says.--Quandapanda (talk) 18:01, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
