Eastrenmost City in Eurasia?

Is this true? --Cormundo (talk) 02:53, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

There are, of course, other populated places which are located farther east, but none of them has city status. So, yes, it is true.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:25, January 5, 2009 (UTC)

You may find useful the article Extreme_points_of_Russia. Though no differentiation between towns and cities is made there. Goudzovski (talk) 12:08, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Duh me. I wasn't trying to distinguish between cities and towns (which are the same in Russian), I was trying to distinguish between cities/towns and everything else (i.e., urban-type settlements and rural localities). In the process, I completely forgot about Anadyr (yeah, shame on me). Since Anadyr is a town, and it is located ~20 degrees to the east, the statement made in this article is untrue. I will remove it. Thanks for a subtle pointer, Goudzovski! :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:59, January 6, 2009 (UTC)

Probably one could also add the list of extreme cities with 100k+ population into the above Extreme points article. I don't know though how useful that would be, but I think Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky would become easternmost with the 100k+ definition. Goudzovski (talk) 17:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

It would become easternmost under that definition, but I don't know whether that would be of any use either. The 100K+ threshold is, after all, just an arbitrary number.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:28, January 6, 2009 (UTC)

"The second largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road"

I am removing the claim that this is "the second largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road"; there are many larger cities on islands which, obviously, cannot be reached by road from the outside world. I also note that the claim is unsourced; please don't re-add this claim without citing a reliable source. Baileypalblue (talk) 08:39, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

"stagnating" versus "stable"

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky#Demographics contains this statement: "The population is currently stagnating". The word "stagnating" is pejorative. Webster's dictionary gives "stale", "dull" and "inactive" as synonyms for "stagnant". I changed "stagnating" to "stable", but 24.21.151.167 changed it back to "stagnating" with the comment "Stagnation describes the population growth in common terms. Stable is not neutral." I quite disagree. "Stable" is neutral; "stagnating" is not neutral. I'm changing it back to "stable". Wideangle (talk) 22:05, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

On second thought, I have re-worded the sentence to use neither "stable" nor "stagnating". Wideangle (talk) 23:02, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

In Popular Culture: Modern Warfare 2

Hello! I’d like to put up for consideration adding a popular culture section that briefly talks about how Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was featured in the controversial 2009 video game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The mission Contingency features the player, as UK SAS Sgt. Gary “Roach” Sanderson, accompany his commanding officer, Captain John Price, as they make their way to a Russian naval base in/near the city. Pictures featured on Google of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky’s naval port look very much like the way the base looks in the game. LaPorting4Duty (talk) 20:14, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Do you know of any reliable sources that mention Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in the context of the game? Mellk (talk) 20:30, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
