Russia banned exports of wheat should put in article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.226.222 (talk) 10:38, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. It has nothing to do with the fires. Colchicum (talk) 12:25, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The wildfires have been destroying wheat fields? Russia stopped the export due to the drought and crop being destroyed by fires. Teafico (talk) 21:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The drought is not a subject of this article, the alleged destruction of crop by fires has been unsourced so far. Wheat is not grown on peat bogs and in forests, major grain-producing areas are well outside the regions most affected by the wildfires (again, drought is another matter), and wheat field fires are relatively easily contained, so this seems highly unlikely. I am fine with whatever as long as there are sources. The sources used to support the now deleted section about the grain export ban had nothing to say regarding the fires. Colchicum (talk) 00:40, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. The Russian article on this page doesn't even list it. Hah, good work, sir. 08:52, 10 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teafico (talk • contribs)

Should we make the lead larger?

Short leads are great, but perhaps we could increase this a bit to more than once sentence. Any idea on what to include in it? Maybe a total of how many ha/km2 have been scorched and burned. Teafico (talk) 23:33, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What should we do with these pictures?

I know I can't be the only one working on this, but perhaps we can move the high temperature map somewhere else on this page. If we even need it.

I have read that it is expected many of the regions governors may be fired.[reply]

Conflicting death toll

On the Main Page, "at least 50" is a poor term for describing what could possibly be up to thousands of deaths as stated in the health effects section. The main page should be updated to reflect this. PotentialDanger (talk) 18:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
