Talk:European Russia

message: You cant point out that 3/4 of Russia is in Asia and still call it a European country.  The only rationale for that is that Russia is mostly White... which really makes the country's continental designation less a geographic notion and more an ethnic one, which I find to be incredibly racist.  Russia is one of the largest countries in Asia and yet everyone insists on calling it a European country. Does any of that seem rational to anyone?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.125.92.151 (talk) 04:17, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

MY QUERY: What is the accepted English-language term for the eastern areas? -- Thanks, Deborahjay 09:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm not sure about the English language, but in Russian they're called Syberia and the (Russian) Far East. They are rarely united into a single entity. These are the largest possible groups that are used with relative frequency. The term "Asian Russia" is exceptionally rare. Humanophage 10:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it worth writing a page Asian Russia, if only to list the cities and regions, including Siberia, and discuss the population? There are about 35,000,000 people living there, which is more than live in all of Canada. The total surface area is around 13,000,000 km^2 (again, larger than Canada). samwaltz 10:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nevermind. I just did a modicum of research. It looks like all of Russia east of the Urals are Siberia, right? I'll just redirect Asian Russia to Siberia. samwaltz 10:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

message: If European Russia has 78% of the Russian population (110 million people out of 142 million) then that means 27 people per square Kilometer, not per square mile. Correct that.
If 22% of the Russian population (31 million people out of 142 million) lives in Siberia (Asian part of Russia) and Siberia has 13 million Kilometers...that means around 2,4 people per square Kilometer,not per square mile. Correct that.
European Russia and Siberia is similar to talk about USA and Canada. While the European, warmer part, has 110 million people in 4 million sq. Kms and 27 people/sq Km (not far from the US Contiguous states´ 35) Siberia (Asian Russia) has 2.4 people/sq. Km (not far from Canada´s 3.3)
There's a problem with the population per square mile statistics. A square mile covers more area than a square kilometer. The article claims that in European Russia, there are 27 people per square kilometer. The article claims that this is equivalent to 10.5 people per square mile. This is impossible. The number of people per square mile should be higher than 27, assuming the first statistics is correct. 70.176.124.120 (talk) 23:26, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :European Russia's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "cia":
From Ukraine: 
From Russia: 
From History of Russia: CIA World Fact Book - Russia
From Demographics of Russia: Russia CIA World Factbook CIA World Factbook updated 6 March, 2008
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
