replies: text: While I'm happy to see such a long (and presumably detailed) article on Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov, most users of the english-language wiki can't read it. Would anybody happen to be able to translate?192.235.30.80 16:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

text: You could probably get someone from the Wikipedia Language Reference Desk to translate it to English, but translation might be considered original research. 216.239.234.196 (talk) 15:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "started dropping practice depth charges, explosives intended to force the submarine to come to the surface for identification." Is it confirmed that it were "practice" depth charges?

message: Is it reasonable for an encyclopedia to report "The radiation to which he had been exposed in 1961 contributed to his death."?
The only reference for this is an article on guardian.co.uk, where the author claims (without any supporting evidence or even discussion) that "That radiation dose eventually contributed to his death in 1998."
Given that he 37 years after the incident, it should take more than the claim of a single journalist to support this being the cause of death.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.60.199.156 (talk) 17:52, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

message: The following run on sentence also is poorly constructed and now factually incorrect:
I agree it could have been worded in a better way, but right now it's grammatically and factually incorrect. The sentence requires brackets or commas to indicate which officers agreed to the use, and again who refused to act. As it reads now, it states Arknipov was the only officer who agreed to the use of nuclear torpedoes. Mkdwtalk 19:38, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I'm not much of a wikipedian (so don't know all the rules), but surely such absolute predictions of the future are inappropriate? Even a "qualified" opinion couldn't predict the outcome of such a situation. 8dave (talk) 23:05, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point and observation. I've added 'may have' to the lead sentence. Seem okay with that descriptor? Nice work. Randy Kryn 00:49, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Arkhipov ... was a Soviet Navy officer who prevented a nuclear war  

message: This article lists two different birth places for Vasili Arkhipov:
Staraya Kupavna and Zvorkovo
I think the latter is correct, though I have no way to verify this.

message: The NSA translation of the Soviet Navy report (About participation of submarines “B-4,” “B-36,” “B-59,” “B-130” ... Section 3, second paragraph) calls Arkhipov chief of staff of the four submarines, not commander. (The commander of the brigade of four submarines was Agafonov Vasili Naumovich).  This same term "chief of staff" (translation of начальник штаба) is used in the Parlamentskaya Gazette excerpt in the talk page, and the Russian version of the Vasily Arkhipov page (which I viewed in translation using DeepL).

thread_title:  Chief of Staff, not Commodore 

message: Arkhipov gets credit for preventing a nuclear war by refusing to agree to the use of a nuclear-tipped torpedo. But who was the American commander (an admiral?) who decided to drop depth charges onto a Soviet submarine in international waters? He surely requires credit for nearly starting a nuclear war.
