Does Room really say that "Tamantarkan" means "title of rank"? I think the reference is misunderstood. Tamantarkan would appear to mean "General of the Taman" which would be a title of rank. Briangotts (Talk) (Contrib) 16:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, this what he says. In the source, "title of rank" is in quotes. Beit Or 17:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Some helpful maps of the peninsula may be found here. --Ghirla -трёп- 22:53, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA concerns

Nice article you have here. It has some issues though, mostly related to formatting.

  • Please make sure the lead sections conforms to WP:LEAD.
    • You can remove the sentence "In the modern Russian language, "tmutarakan" stands for "a distant and obscure province".", as it is just a detail
    • Probably good if you mention what years the city existed
    • Please expand it with at least two sentences.
  • What does the reference to " Brook __." mean?
  • Do you have a reference to the statement "(possibly in connection connected to the conversion of Vladimir I of Kiev which took place during roughly at the same time)", or is it original speculation?
  • How come there are no inline references to the section "Decline"?
  • I also find it peculiar to have a coin as first image, and not the map (the map looks really good).
