Is this article NPOV? Parts of it don't sound it. --KG

Well then, edit it to make it NPOV. Or at least specify what you don't like about it. Balcer 19:32, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"Manchu-Korean forces met the Russians at Sharhody (Chinese: 沙尔虎达 Russian: Шарходы/Шарходе Hangul:의례목성 (어라이무청)), on the mouth of the Sungari River, killing 270 Russians and driving them out of Manchu territory." That's not POV?! --SergeiXXX 00:04, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, the passage in question refers to the description of Russians taking over of the Manchu territory. What exactly do you see as a POV problem in this sentence? It was a Manchu territory after all. Or do you mean something else?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 00:21, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
There is no political correctness in words killing 270 Russians and driving them out of Manchu territory. I certain that in some russian notes of that times Manchu were just retrogrades and they were only able to kill themselves in front of danger. I hope there is no place for insults in the free Encyclopedia.

[edit] Labor camp

I don't see any reference on this page to the labor camp in Khabarovsk... a Japanese solider I was researching was taken there after the war and died there in 1950. Was this a different Khabarovsk? Is the camp of too low importance/significance in the big picture to be mentioned? Or is it simply not mentioned just because it's been overlooked? I apologize if I sound accusatory - I do not intend to be. I am simply ignorant as to the history of Soviet labor camps, and Japanese POWs, and in particular the history or significance of the one at Khabarovsk. LordAmeth 01:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

I saw some good pictures on the Russian wiki article, so I assume they are fair use, though I don't speak Russian, so I don't know if the pictures have any warnings. Perhaps to spruce up the article a bid, someone better at this can transfer some of those pictures? Leoberacai 12 February 2008. —Preceding comment was added at 22:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
