Talk:Nakhodka

Old talk
There is also a major oilspil by a russian tanker called makhodka in japan in 1997, see http://www.erc.pref.fukui.jp/news/Eoil.html

The name of Russian corvette that discovered Nakhodka Bay literally translates as "America". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sea diver (talk • contribs) 01:27, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Pictures
why did you delete my pictures? They look much more modern than the present ones? Do you not want your city to look fine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Warden987 (talk • contribs) 06:52, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Possible hoax and Wikipedia-only circular source
A lot of what has been written about the supposed history of Nakhodka seems to have in fact ultimately originated from this single unsourced source back in the year 2003, written by a Canadian IP editor  with a slight but obvious Japanese nationalist point-of-view; some of the claims-of-fact contained therein have now been contradicted by two articles, both of which have since (and now) been made available free of charge, and on-line, one being the New York Times and the other being the Sydney Morning Herald, both dated November 1987, albeit both originally from the same transcripts and both were of the same correspondent (Philip Taubman). In my opinion, it is probably more likely to be a bit of a hoax originally created by a Japanese university student in Canada, and then left undiscovered for the last 12 or 13 years! I don't know if I had actually managed to read this, for the first time, as being incorporated into the texts of one of Lonely Planet's Russia tourists' travel-guidebooks probably about 7 or 8 years ago! -- Urquhartnite (talk) 23:59, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
