Talk:Ob (river)

Comment
I'm pretty sure that the Russian name for the river has a hard sign and not a soft sign. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.81.131.158 (talk • contribs).
 * Sorry to disappoint you, but the soft sign is correct. There are no words in the Russian language that would end in a hard sign anymore.&mdash;Ëzhiki (Igel Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:55, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Confusing statements in articles
How can this river be both the fourth longest in Russia, and the fifth longest in the world?

The River article describes it as the fifth longest in the world, while this article describes it as the fourth longest in Russia. 216.195.199.146 (talk) 21:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

length
It is a mess with a length of Ob in the article. In the text there is 5,410km for Ob-Irtysh system, which seems to be conventional. But what is 2,962km in the description? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hatifnatter (talk • contribs) 11:10, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Map Has an Error
That map appears to be wrong. The name Angara is placed on what appears to be actually the Nizhnyaya Tunguska (Lower Tunguska) River. 2601:441:4680:3230:5509:77C1:9891:16D9 (talk) 15:25, 24 March 2019 (UTC
 * Yes, I'm certain that's really the Lower Tunguska. My Oxford Atlas of the World calls it Nizhnyaya Tunguska. Also the river labeled "Anui" on this map is really the Alei according to [|this journal article]. 2601:441:4680:3230:5509:77C1:9891:16D9 (talk) 15:44, 24 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi, just noticing this now - apologies for the error, and I'll fix it ASAP. Shannon [ Talk ] 04:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Hiliarious fact contradiction
The article proudly states the Gulf is the longest estuary in the World.

The entire Thames estuary (as wide) is taken as part of its length. The Ob Gulf clearly is not as it is written. So either we need to state the Gulf is not considered part of its length by Russian geographers who do not mirror the practice of some other rivers (more politely); or we need to omit the fact; or we need to rewrite the length bit. With the Gulf the Ob, itself, is about 3800 km.- Adam37 Talk  08:04, 27 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Fixed I stand guilty like most of the public in scanning a tiny bit and reading. But it is now much better than the secondary phrase "while the Ob is only 2,538 km (1,577 mi) long" which is just unhelpful. But still consider whether all consider the Gulf part of the Ob.- Adam37  Talk  08:09, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
