I don't know how credible this link would be considered, but it would seem to verify, at least in part, the 1st, 3rd and 4th claims which need citations - http://www.outlawjournalism.com/news/?p=2418 BeowulfMacCool (talk) 05:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

"Then he sent an aide out to check" - I am wondering where did he send his aide. To check with the President, possibly? Like "Mr. President, there is one American asking here about Yamantaw... Oh, all right, I'll tell them that we know nothing about it, have a nice day." Come on guys, that's a tabloid style. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.116.103.93 (talk) 16:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Removed "tabloid style". This is encyclopaedia, not "Sun" or "Wash Post". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.83.238.1 (talk) 20:39, 22 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Despite possibly being "tabloid style", the content is sourced from a legitimate magazine. Also, The Washington Post is considered a legitimate newspaper, not a tabloid, unlike The Sun which is clearly defined as a tabloid. Bhall87Four Scoreand Seven 21:14, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Removed paragraph
I removed this because it's very unclear what "visibly shaken" should imply. Was he visibly shaken because he discovered that the mountain actually hosts a base of extraterrestial aliens, or was he simply amazed because a facility he thought would exist actually didn't? Let's not include unclear, suggestive and speculative material here. Offliner (talk) 11:00, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

On Google Earth
Has anyone checked out the Panoramia photos shown at the Geohack coordinates ? Yamantau facility is an abandoned ghosttown. It doesn't look like it would survive a strong breeze, let alone a nuclear blast. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.30.15.25 (talk) 15:53, 15 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the implication is that the facility is built inside the mountain, not on top of it. 80.189.191.20 (talk) 15:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

It is "Yamantau" and not "Mount Yamantau"
Similar to the often incorrect references to Mount Fujiyama in Japan, which is redundant with the correct form being "Mount Fuji" the same applies to Yamantau. The correct reference should be just "Yamantau" because the name itself already includes the word "mount/mountain." Moryak (talk) 13:24, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

To clarify, the explanation above dates back to 1762, just in case someone should think this is a recent "invention."Moryak (talk) 13:30, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Mountain, not military facility.
Don't you think that this should be an article about a mountain, not an article about russian military base. By the way are there any trustworthy evidence that something like that really exist inder the mountain? TheRatProphet (talk) 21:25, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Yamantaw
The spelling "Yamantau" is a transliteration of the Russian name of the mountain. The name is originally in Bashkir language, therefore the title must be changed to Yamantaw, also removing "Mount", as @Moryak had said. Bababashqort (talk) 23:48, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
