February Revolution
Can you find if there are photos of Ivan Stepanovič Laškevič (Иван Степанович Лашкевич), the zarist captain who was murdered by his men? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.207.177.80 (talk) 14:10, 26 September 2022 (UTC)


 * If one exists, it seems to have escaped the internet, as far as I can tell. Alansplodge (talk) 18:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Maybe there is one single or in alternative one between the soldiers of his regiment (лейб-гвардии Волынский полк). Please, can you search with that? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.207.177.80 (talk) 21:03, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Bangladesh–India border
How long is the Bangladesh–India border? The infobox says 4,156 km, and the introduction says 4,096 km. The shorter length is sourced to something from 2004, before the exchange of a number of India–Bangladesh enclaves simplified and shortened the border. 4,096 km appears somewhere else in the article, sourced to something from 2022, which seems rather preposterous: it's very unlikely that the removal of a lot of enclaves would result in absolutely no change in length. 175.39.61.121 (talk) 20:11, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * For land borders that aren't defined by simple lines, the coastline paradox is likely to apply and means that there isn't really a well-defined length. However, for what it's worth, the CIA World Factbook gives 4,142 km for this border. --174.95.81.219 (talk) 21:17, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
