How about "north bank" or "south bank" of the river instead of right bank?—Preceding unsigned comment added by McTrixie (talk • contribs)

But right bank isn't the same as south bank. There is always a right bank, but there may be no north/south bank. Does it matter in this particular case? Is there any specific reason you want the wording changed?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 13:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the river, the wording is fine; it sounds interesting to have a right and left bank, could be worth an explanation? --McTrixie 21:49, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The right bank of the river is the side to one's right while facing downstream while the left bank is the one opposite the right bank. It's a standard geography definition, which is available through the Right Bank disambiguation. Or were you looking for something different?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 22:01, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Popular culture reference[edit]

Just wondering if Colossus_(comics)' origins in the Ust-Ordynsky Collective should be mentioned here. GPask (talk) 18:36, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't belong here; sorry. See MOS:POPCULT for the applicable guideline. There just is no encyclopedic connection between the comics and the inhabited locality. A mention of Ust-Ordynsky is warranted in the comics article, but not the other way around.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); July 30, 2015; 19:05 (UTC)
