Daugava length in Latvian territory

The longest river flowing through Latvian territory is the Daugava ... of which 352 m (1,155 ft) on Latvian territory. Clearly this length is not correct! Perhaps this should be 352 km, however the Daugava River article says 367 km. Someone with a trusted source should resolve this.

Yes, thanks. Fixed. --Edgars2007 ^{(talk/contribs)} 11:26, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

the 1920 map

The 1920 British map "Poland & The New Baltic States" appears here and in several other articles (e.g History of Latvia, History of Lithuania). The map, while interesting, is clearly wildly inaccurate about 1920. Does the map have any factual value (e.g does the Latvian-Russian border actually display some proposal or situation during the war of independence)? I am removing it at the moment. User332572385 (talk) 16:50, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I agree. The map approximately shows the situation in Eastern (Latgale) front from November 1919 to January 3, 1920 but in this article it is misleading. Dukurs (talk) 18:14, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Lettonia

The Oxford online dictionary entry "Lettonia" merely points to "Latvia", and in some other languages the name of the country is "Lettonia" or some variation thereof. Is "Lettonia" a rare/obsolete English name for the country? If so, it should be mentioned in the article. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 21:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

It's not an obsolete English term, prior English is Livonia (most of current Latvia plus Estonia). In German, Latvia is Lettland--Lettonia is the German Lettland fashioned into Latin. (Latvia is also Lettonia in modern Italian.) VєсrumЬа ►TALK 03:59, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

glasnost and Perestroika

The article refers to "glasnost and Perestroika". There's no reason to capitalize perestroika. I've fixed it. Omc (talk) 17:37, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Tourism in Latvia

Hi! It would be great if you could create this article: Tourism in Latvia!

Perhaps you can draw some inspiration from Tourism in Brazil. :) Thanks & all the best, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 15:48, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism

There's some vandalism in in the article that a simple edit seems unable to remove.

Specifically the section of the initial overview: Latvia is historically predominantly Protestant Lutheran, except for the Latgale region in the southeast, which has historically been predominantly Roman Catholic. Latvian no have potato. Is die from malnourish. For him sufferingis over.

Again, I've been unable to remove this piece of vandalism through editing the article. Perhaps someone with a bit more Wiki-Fu will be able to take care of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.45.13.134 (talk) 05:04, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

It was allready removed by bot. You probably need to clear cache of your browser/reload the page to see current version ~~Xil (talk) 06:43, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
