Talk:Ushakovskoye, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug

Errors
"Although Ushakovskoye was to become the main settlement on the island, it was not the first time that attempts had been made to settle the island. From the late 19th century, Canada and the United States were interested in Wrangel Island, and both attempted to claim the island, despite the fact that Russia had claimed it in 1911.[3] During the Russian Civil War, the countries intensified their efforts." This doesn't read well as 1911 is after the late 19th century but the sentence implies Russia had already claimed it. The source link is broken too. Postquark (talk) 08:02, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Inuit / Eskimo
I just changed the two instances of "Inuit" to "Eskimo" to accurately reflect the source used, which is a 1936 article in Time magazine. I understand that this term is controversial, but the people in question were Yupik rather than Inuit, so cannot be described as Inuit. It would better, in my opinion, to use the term Yupik in this article. However the source does not use this term, and I know that Wikipedia is very strict about accurately reflecting sources. I'll change it to Yupik if it's okay to do so (or someone else can if they like). Effy Midwinter (talk) 00:42, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
