Talk:Danube Delta

This article has a link to something called Chilia that it says somewhere on the mis-punctuated section of Wikipedia it should try chilia-, which I know is wrong because chilia- is an article on a numerical prefix, but the requested chilia is an article for a delta. Any comments?? 66.245.119.43 20:25, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Snake Island

About 44 km of the Danube Delta lies the Snake Island, a territory which belongs to Ukraine but claimed by Romania. I find this sentence hard to comprehend. What does 44 km refer to? /Habj 10:47, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

that should be about 44 off the coast of the Danube Delta. bogdan ʤjuʃkə | ^Talk 11:07, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

History

Pages [1] and [2] (and probably others) note a Herodotus' mention of the delta. Much more descriptive is [3]. We should use these sources, at least as an inspiration. It would be better to find out more reliable sources for these statements, of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miraceti (talk • contribs) 07:02, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

English

The whole article needs a good clean up of the English used, that's why there are bits we can't understand! Maelli (talk) 14:14, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Article assessment

This is not a bad article to read. B-class articles should be "mostly complete and without major problems", resulting that "Readers are not left wanting". It should certainly follow [[WP:policies and guidelines}]] A serious flaw is a lack of sourcing so an inability to provide inline verification. There are unsourced sections and subsections, clarification tags, and one section tag, and some of this has been ongoing since 2008. There are numerous figures, usually presented as "facts", with no sourcing. This might be acceptable at C-class (probably not) and if it may have been bot assessed. It needs to have issues resolved or be considered for downgrading. Otr500 (talk) 12:37, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

The Danube Delta is the second-largest river delta in Europe, after the Volga Delta, and the best preserved on the continent. While a small part of the delta lies in Ukraine (Odesa Oblast), a majority of its area of 3,446 km² (1,331 sq mi) lies in Romania (Tulcea County). With the lagoons of Razim–Sinoe, located south of the main delta, the combined territory of 5,165 km² (1,994 sq mi) is designated a World Heritage Site.
