I don't at all disagree with the editor who deleted this part before. However, if we were to leave a reference to "hyrcanian", it's definitely not "sea", it would be "Hyrcanian Ocean", per https://www.worldatlas.com/lakes/caspian-sea.html, amobg all others. Cheers and thank you. Floyd23 (talk) 10:36, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Ural Sea and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 May 12#Ural Sea until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 02:31, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
In the §Coastline section a mention of the sea's coastline length and a list breaking it down by country appears thrice: once for 4800 km, once for 6380 km, and finally for 6500 km. Because of the coastline paradox none of these are right in a rigorous sense, so I propose either scrapping the section, or less drastically picking one of these measures, explaining how it was calculated (e.g. "4800 km when measured with a 10-kilometer yardstick" or something), mentioning the coastline paradox and removing the other measures.
In a separate matter, in the Facts and figures section, I was puzzled by the repetition of infobox material ("facts and figures" isn't a common section on Wikipedia, more of a news site thing) and US-unit-first presentation, and discovered the numbers were copypasted outright and the paragraph a redundant paraphrase, so I went ahead and removed it. oatco (talk) 13:11, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
I very much doubt that "in the Tang dynasty (618-907), the [Caspian] sea was the western limit of the Chinese Empire". AIUI, Chinese control has never extended west of the Tarim basin; indeed, it often remained contested within the basin during the reign of weak emperors. Wikipedia's page on the Tang dynasty does not suggest that empire reached the Caspian then, and the only sources listed here in support are (I think) a high-school level world history textbook and a brief side-mention by a non-experts instead studying the reception of Chinese literature (which likely circulated outside the empire proper). Is there a better source in support? Bernanke's Crossbow (talk) 18:38, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
