In general, if you are looking for place names or for maps and other useful references, you should go to Russian Place Names -- Reference.

You can use this topic to search for information that has not yet been added to the Reference topic.

You can also use this topic to ask for help with reading a Russian place name or locating the place.
Give us a link to the log page(s) where it is mentioned and tell us approximately where it occurs on the page(s).

Note: Place names include lighthouses.

If you have information about a place name or find a useful reference, please help everyone by contributing it to this topic.

When contributing place names, try to provide as many of the following as possible:

• Name in log
• Latitude and Longitude (preferably in decimal format with a minimum of one decimal place - two decimal places is the preferred format)
• Subdivision
• Current name (if different)
• Link to more information
• Also, in case of problems, a link to the log page(s) where it is mentioned[/b] would be helpful

Don't worry if you can't supply all the information. Your link to the page will enable others to search for the missing information.
(You can save us even more work by using the template provided, but that is strictly optional.)

Any kind of geographical information in this topic is always welcome. A Google Map covering a specific ship or area is a good example of a much appreciated contribution. We will collect them in the corresponding Reference topic.

Unhelpfully the Goenames earth view shows 'Broughton Island', but that name is not included in the alternative names and therefore does not show when completing a search. Is it possible to get this name embeded in the main place name list for Geonames please, Matteo?

Hi Matteo - can these go into the viewtopic.php?f=14&t=172&start=20 China Station, Japan, Pacific and Indian Ocean -- Reference topic as well please? Thanks

Thanks! Just added places and aliases to db

Will update reference threads soon. All russian places south of the Aleutians line (or inside the Sea of Okhotsk - dont think we have any there) should all be present also in china station thread... thanks for reminding me, missing some is easy if i don't pay enough attention.

If you find any Russian pacific place which is not listed in the china thread and you feel it should please let me know!
