What with Amur? Why is there a sea?
Why should Crimea be coloured at all? It is not recognized as Russian territory by anyone except Russia. South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Transistria are not coloured on this map either. Consistency is required at bare minimum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.161.70.159 ( talk) 15:37, 20 March 2014 (UTC) Crimea should be painted in dark green in my honest opinion. (I dunna how sign, so: Mach1988, March, 20th, 2014). — Preceding undated comment added 15:07, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
-paint crimea dark green its russian now-- Crossswords ( talk) 18:58, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Light green is appropriate and neutral. Nobody recognized Crimea as Russian territory except Russia, in no way should it be dark green. Nagorno-Karabakh in Azeribaijan isn't painted for Armenia despite them controlling and claiming it. And if anyone wants to accuse of a double standard, Kosovo is light green for Serbia...when a majority of the world's countries recognize it as an independent state.-- FourthLineGoon ( talk) 18:04, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
False, 107 UN member states recognize Kosovo as an independent nation...
http://kosovothanksyou.com/ That's an absolute majority, just like the absolute majority of the world's countries (every single other country) doesn't recognize Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory. --

-japan has the kuril islands light green while russia has them dark green-- Crossswords ( talk) 00:53, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Those are internationally recognized as part of Russia except by Japan... Why wouldn't those be dark green and Crimea not? -- FourthLineGoon ( talk) 02:41, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
World recognized Austria annexation...but (most importantly Ukraine) does not recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea...light green is appropriate, it is claimed territory of two nations that Russia invaded and administers. Not sure what Russia's "laws" have to do with a Wikipedia map...-- FourthLineGoon ( talk) 19:27, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
Every country on the globe recognizes North Korea except Japan and South Korea....You don't know what you're talking about.-- FourthLineGoon ( talk) 18:11, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- seriously people, putin visited crimea today and hold a military parade on the peninsula what more proof do you need that russia controls it? Crimea is russia now, get that in your head-- Crossswords ( talk) 14:09, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
That's like saying that Western Sahara is Morocco or Kuwait was Iraq in 1991. Nobody's "getting anything in their head." The current maps are perfectly fine.-- FourthLineGoon ( talk) 20:34, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
If crimea is to be coloured light green, than the two southern kuril islands big enough to be seen on the map must be coloured the same as well as they are disputed with japan. XavierGreen ( talk) 21:23, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
-same could be said about the senkaku islands on japans map-- Crossswords ( talk) 01:25, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Not at all, nobody else recognizes Japan's claim to the Southern Kuril islands (isn't it 3 or 4, not 2 anyway?) Meanwhile, Senkaku is the opposite situation. Hardly an issue.-- FourthLineGoon ( talk) 18:11, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
The southern Kuril island aren't shown as green or dark green, they need to be fixed. -- WhyHellWhy ( talk) 16:58, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Yeah, those should be dark green or at least the light green like on Japan's map. Every world source you can find outside of Japan says that Japan lost those after World War II, and global sources are important, same reason why Crimea shouldn't be painted dark green here (or on Ukraine's map anymore.)-- FourthLineGoon ( talk) 23:14, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
I think we're going to need a lot more light green. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.47.22 ( talk) 01:16, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Disputed area between China and India or India and Pakistan and so on ( I can enumerate more because this is common practice on Wikipedia) are painted in dark green on country which controlling this area even if anyone except this country claimed this and light green on country which have only claims. Why only Russia Federation map is different ? Can anyone show me the same practice anywhere on Wikipedia except Russian Federation map ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.1.214.43 ( talk) 21:51, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
