Talk:Syvash

Inconsistencies
This article states the feature dividing the sivash from the Sea of Azov is "by the long (110 km), narrow (max. 500 m) Arabat Spit", while the article on the Arabat Spit says "The Arabat Spit is 112 km long, and from 270 m to 8 km wide;". While the 500m description does fit most of the Spit very well, there are areas as wide as 8 km, so "max. 500 m" is just not right. 76.111.27.52 (talk) 03:59, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

The Syvash
Yeah, articles are hard for native Slavic speakers but this word is a body of water and employs one. EB: "To the W., separated from the main basin by the long, narrow spit of Arabat, lies the remarkable series of lagunes and marshes known as the Sivash, or Putrid Sea. Here the water is intensely salt, and at the same time swarms with life." Kindly maintain it consistently within the article. — Llywelyn II   14:20, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Similarly, Sivash is probably more common in English but, until the page moves, we should employ Syvash consistently after the first sentence except in direct quotation from other sources. — Llywelyn II   14:22, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
