I'm pretty sure that the Russian name for the river has a hard sign and not a soft sign.—The precedingunsigned comment was added by129.81.131.158 (talk •contribs) .
Which ocean does the Ob river flow into?
Please disregard last question....sorry....—The precedingunsigned comment was added by69.140.80.250 (talk)01:00, 24 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
How can this river be both the fourth longest in Russia, and the fifth longest in the world?
TheRiver article describes it as the fifth longest in the world, while this article describes it as the fourth longest in Russia.216.195.199.146 (talk)21:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is a mess with a length of Ob in the article. In the text there is 5,410km for Ob-Irtysh system, which seems to be conventional. But what is 2,962km in the description?— Precedingunsigned comment added byHatifnatter (talk •contribs)11:10, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

| ==Failure ofOb River for Wikipedia 0.7==I completely failed this article because it is an extremely short Start-class article of very little importance (the 4th longest river), and it can be compared to a non-important U.S. State Road. Also, the article really doesn't exert the importance of the subject, like what the river is used for (transportation, fishing, any wildlife preserves, etc.) It really is only of specialist interest, something we are not considering right now. Try waiting until we release 1.0 (which I doubt will include minor state roads or minor rivers), and then nominate it.Diez214:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply] |

That map appears to be wrong. The name Angara is placed on what appears to be actually the Nizhnyaya Tunguska (Lower Tunguska) River.2601:441:4680:3230:5509:77C1:9891:16D9 (talk) 15:25, 24 March 2019 (UTC
The article proudly states the Gulf is the longest estuary in the World.
The entire Thames estuary (as wide) is taken as part of its length. The Ob Gulf clearly is not as it is written. So either we need to state the Gulf is not considered part of its length by Russian geographers who do not mirror the practice of some other rivers (more politely); or we need to omit the fact; or we need to rewrite the length bit. With the Gulf the Ob, itself, is about 3,800 kilometres (2,400 mi).-Adam37Talk08:04, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
