Kaali järv is the lake in the largest crater. Andres 00:34, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't think it's a stub anymore. Someone, who knows the deal should please move it to another category or something.

Behind the Neva

"...behind the Neva river" (the direction of Estonia from Finland)" -- looking at a map, this is nonsense. The Neva is southeast of Finland, Saaremaa is southwest. If the quote is right, they must be talking about a different event. Chl (talk) 03:29, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Kalevala was derived from folklore collected in Karelia, so "...behind the Neva river" is plausible. Martintg (talk) 05:27, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Entymologists"? and claims of ritual sacrifice

Someone (I haven't done the research to figure out who) made the claim in this article that "entymologists" think the event figures in regional mythology. There is no such thing; I am assuming that the author does not mean "entomologists" (insect scientists) but rather "etymologists" (people who study the history of words). However, this still doesn't make sense, so I substituted the general term "scholars". Really, the whole paragraph could go away, because the mythology angle is discussed below, except that there is an unsourced statement about ritual sacrifice in the final sentence. This is interesting, and if anyone (esp. the author of the paragraph) could find a source discussing it, that'd be great. As it is I probably ought to source-tag it.

Most Recent Impact Event? Not hardly.

The Wabar craters were created 147 years ago. And lest we forget, Tunguska was barely 100 years ago. The Nakhla meteorite hit in 1911. There have even been 2 recorded impact events in the past 3 years:

From the impact events article:

On September 15, 2007, a chondritic meteor crashed near the village of Carancas in southeastern Peru near Lake Titicaca, leaving a water-filled hole and spewing gases across the surrounding area. Many residents became ill, apparently from the noxious gases shortly after the impact.

On October 7, 2008, a meteroid labeled 2008 TC3 was tracked for 20 hours as it approached Earth and as it fell through the atmosphere and impacted in Sudan. This was the first time an object was detected before it reached the atmosphere and hundreds of pieces of the meteorite were recovered from the Nubian Desert.[25]

The claim is not that this is the most recent impact event, but the most recent to leave a crater. The Sudan statement makes no mention of a crater, and the Peru statement is suspect, since an impacting object with enough volatiles to "spew gases" would likely shatter in the atmosphere.

Fixing bad link to Earth Impact Database

Here is the correct link:[[1]] I don't know how to correct the link in this article cited in the References. It is required because the dating of this crater is confused in the popular literature. Wilson44691 (talk) 13:05, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why Ma for such a recent event?

i changed it to thousands of years ago, any reason why not?
