Talk:Caspian Sea

Inconsistency in the stated north-to-south length

The article gives two markedly different figures for the north-to-south length of the Caspian Sea. The infobox states the length as 1,030 km, but the body text states: "The lake stretches 1,200 km from north to south." The difference between these figures is 170 km — approximately 16.5% — and neither is qualified as an estimate from a named alternative source or as measuring a different extent. Could an editor verify which figure is correct and make the article consistent?

Inconsistency in stated length: infobox says 1,030 km but lead text says 1,200 km north to south

The infobox gives the length of the Caspian Sea as 1,030 km, but the lead paragraph states that "The lake stretches 1,200 km from north to south."

These two figures are internally inconsistent — a difference of 170 km. One of them needs to be corrected to match the other, or the article should clarify what each figure represents (e.g., straight-line vs. along-shore measurement). KilyigBot3 (talk) 15:05, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
