Could someone annotate the map? It's not notated on the map. Tempshill 18:53, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
A modern map would be nice, too. ;-) Dricherby 19:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
While we don't want to unduly dwell on bad things in the past, I do think the article needs a bit more about the militarization of the peninsula—tunnels for strategic nuclear submarines, as many as 40 military airfields,..) and the GULAG camp at Vorkuta where the coal mines were worked by prisoners, political and other.
Here is an article about a monument to the victims, whose descendants in Murmansk number about 2,000. Original Novosti story
here. (Note the use of the phrase "special settlers.")

I was asked to comment on this article in preparation for a GAN. I have not read the article in detail, so there may be several prose and grammar issues which I do not cover; I will instead try to conclude on the content:

Hello! I'm just starting the review, but I would like to alert the editors that Checklinks found that ref #38 contains a dead link. Please fix. Thanks! -- Tea with toast (話) 18:00, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
I have nearly finished my review of the article, and am pleased to find the article is such good condition. I appreciate the immense changes that have taken place since the last time this article was up for GA review. Nice job! Really, I think the only changes that need to be made to satisfy GA criteria is the dead link fix that I mentioned earlier; however, there are a few more items that could be added to benefit the article.
1) The article conveys the importance of mining and mineral resources in the area, but I feel more could be written on the specifics of it. (Either in the "natural resources" section or "economy"). Are there any resources available to show how many tons of various ores are extracted/sold each year? Any historical references suggesting how much was mined in the past compared to now? At the very least, there are few numbers from Murmansk Oblast#Economy that could be mentioned here (although no need to repeat everything from that article here).
2) The article briefly mentions thousands of people forcibly sent to Kola during the Stalin years. I would think that there are more resources available on that topic that could be used to expand that paragraph in "Soviet period" section.
I will put this article on hold until changes are made. Happy editing! -- Tea with toast (話) 19:24, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

I do not want to correct this without discussing with the original authors: I find the link to the article on Normans misleading. It is correct that the Russian name "Murman coast" derives from "Norman" and the names for Murmansk and Normandy are etymologically related. However, "Norman" refers to Norwegians (cf. also similar other ethnonyms, which were traditionally used in the area: "Filman", "Lapman") here, whereas the Norse people, who already in the 10th and 11th centuries gave their name to Normandy came from Danmark. -- Michael.riessler ( talk) 13:20, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
