Talk:Sverdlovsk anthrax leak

Rewrite
Article has been re-written to avoid copyright issues. Original text had been emailed to me without providing any source. Link to PBS Frontline article has been added as sole source of article. ComaDivine 14:25, 13 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Just to help an admin, I will list the page where your temp version is here: Sverdlovsk anthrax leak/Temp. --Irpen 00:52, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

I have re-written it again, as it was deleted purportedly for the same copyright violation. Only the essentials in chronological order now remain...and the article lacks depth as a result. Any copyright violation that can be garnered from the current temp version would be speculative at best. ComaDivine 15:29, 14 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I think the new version is not copyvio. Once the main entry is deleted, it would be moved and we'll have a one more good article. Thanks for your effort! --Irpen 19:17, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Will this eventually be deleted? My rewrite is still listed as a temp. ComaDivine 11:30, 25 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Temp page has been moved to the main article. RedWolf 17:18, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Claims
"Boris Yeltsin, a local Communist Party boss at this time, helped cover up the accident.[1]" -- that is simply not true, i.e. not in the referenced source.

In any case, Boris Yeltsin role is usually under reported, in fact he was the one who first officially acknowledged (in an interview published in 1993) that this incident was due to biological weapons. And that is mentioned in the source [1].Tezd (talk) 04:27, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Besides, the coordinates are wrong. 56°46'44"N  60°34'59"E seem to be far more accurate. Tezd (talk) 04:56, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
