September 26

[edit]

Those who have read classic Chinese and Japanese books, do they know any old novels similar to this? Marvel Lords (talk) 13:47, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At the very bottom of the article are categories -- some of which should be of interest. 136.56.52.157 (talk) 18:24, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

February Revolution

[edit]

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)[reply]

If one exists, it seems to have escaped the internet, as far as I can tell. Alansplodge (talk) 18:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
Have you find something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.207.224.224 (talk) 15:12, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bangladesh–India border

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
