it makes sense that the kamchatka peninsula is volcanic since the aleutian islands are as well. Gringo300 03:52, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
The statement that the Kamchatka Peninsula is home to the Steller's Sea Eagle, the largest eagle in the world, is either mistaken, or the wikipedia page on the eagle itself, is. The link provided pulls up the page on the Steller's Sea Eagle, itself, which, in its very first paragraph, states that it is the third largest eagle. Which is right? HæSúsê 17:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm about to just delete the statement entirely, if someone can't clarify this error. HæSúsê 20:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Is there a Jewish Burger society? Is Wiktor Wekselberg from the Kamchatka Peninsual?
Who even wrote this section... There was no signature.. Wtf.
Is it ok if this section of the talk page is just deleted? It should be obvious why...
Anyone else got any thoughts on this?

Blue whales can not be said to be `abundant' anywhere. Also, it is not clear why blue whales deserve mention in a Kamchatka article, while orcas, fin whales, sperm whales, grey whales, beaked whales and minke whales, all of which are observed with far greater frequency than blue whales off the coast of Kamchatka, are omitted, to say nothing of Steller sea lions, northern fur seals, spotted seals, harbor seals, ribbon seals and walruses. The choice of terrestrial mammals seems similarly arbitrary; why not arctic wolves, weasels, ermines, marmots, mountain goats, reindeer, moose? What about the seabirds: northern fulmars, thick and thin-billed murres, kittiwakes, tufted and horned puffins, red-faced, pelagic and other cormorants, and many other species? What about marine invertebrates (Kamchatka crab, scallops, mussels, periwinkles), or flora, or terrestrial birds?
All of this begs the question: how does one choose what wildlife is chosen to `represent' a geographical location? High-profile, charismatic megafauna? Conservation status? Or is the goal to be comprehensive? This seems a daunting task for any location, especially one as vast, diverse and undeveloped as Kamchatka. I would revise the article myself if I had a sense what the purpose was; but for the record, all of the species listed above are present, indeed abundant, in and around the Kamchatka peninsula.

Just wondering, what rule/guideline forbids trivia? Boatman666 02:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
This article is about Kamchatka, not about all occurrences of the word "Kamchatka". Besides, I am strongly against the demeaning section title "Trivia". I am using "Miscellaneous". Sometimes you do need it, until the corresponding topic grows into a reasonable section. Like, it makes sense to have a piece "the life expectancy of Kamchatka dwellers is 47.5", because we don't have Demographic of Kamchatka anywhere. But we don't list all books where people eat in the article spoon, do we? `' Míkka 19:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Would it be possible to get a map of Russia with the location of the peninsula highlighted? I think it would add to the article. Seem reasonable? Dalef ( talk) 04:12, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
As well as lacking foot note citations, the article needs a good copy edit. It contains many peacock terms & weasel words. It is not right to remove tags as spam. I would be happy to do some but I don't want to get into an edit war with people who do not want the article improved. The article violates many MoS guidelines. Are there editors who object to attempts to improve the article? Regards, Mattisse 18:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
It says "The Second Kamchatka Expedition by the Russian explorer Vitus Bering began the "opening" of Kamchatka in earnest". But Vitus Bering was born and bred in Denmark, and only later in late employed by the Russian navy. Shouldn't his nationality be listed as Danish (or Danish-Norwegian)? – Wikigeek at gmail —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.163.213.226 ( talk) 13:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
no one is bothering with the "in pop culture" section that wikipedia is infamous for? as i recall, kamatchatka is an impotant tactical position in risk for anyone that holds north america. when sara palin wakes up she can see it from her house.(thats a joke dont take it serious) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.111.205.249 ( talk) 01:39, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

The article on the Kamchatka Peninsula states that the area of the peninsula is 472 km2. The is same number stated for the area of the entire Kamchatka Krai, but I do not think these numbers should be the same becasue the area of the peninsula ought to be smaller than the area of the Krai. Thay are not coterminous. The area north of the isthmus seems to me to be geograhically part of the mainland. The georgraphic definition of the peninsula ought to include only the area south of the isthus. The political borders of the Krai are not coterminous with the georgraphic boundaries of the peninsula.
Incidentrally, the area north of the isthmus seems to correspond very closely to the combined are of the nothern two raions of the Koryak autonomous okrug, which are entirely on the mainland, north of the isthmus. You can see this on the map of the political subdivisions of Kamchatka Krai that is located on the Russian language article. Combined, these two raion have an area of 188 km. It would be imposible to know precisely, however. I could not find the correct are stated on the Russain version either.
I don't understand German, but the German Article gives 370,000 km are the area of the peninsula. Its defninition is slightly larger than mine would be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.124.247.178 ( talk) 00:08, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Great Soviet Encyclopedia is a wrong source on that. Edited with the correct number (about 270,000 km2), with a link to the article in Russian that explains the mistake. Nitekatt ( talk) 05:43, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
Reading the section, I don't see anything objectionable per your tag. I do see the need for inline citations, which are sorely lacking. If you wish to tag the way you did, you must provide specific examples of what you are objecting to here, so it may be discussed and possibly addressed.

Under the Climate section there seems to be a rather unfriendly and trollish message once one mouseovers the link Oyashio (which leads to a Wikipedia page about the Oyashio Current).
