warning: dates do not match

Problematic details corrected[edit]

I verified and inserted the date of death for Ada, but am unable to find her birth date. The Niven book does not cite a birth date, but says she died at 85 in the Pioneer Home in Palmer, AK so she would have been born by that day of the month in 1898. The loss of her first husband was not addressed and I got that from the Niven book. I am trying to get a date of birth, but I cannot find one in the Social Security Death Index. Alaska Natives born in Bush Alaska in the 19th Century often did not possess birth records. I added her family name as well, and removed the reference to her as "Inuit," a term not used to identify themselves by Alaska Natives. Activist (talk) 01:37, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The distance from Wrangel Island to Siberia is significatly less than 700 miles[edit]

The page says "So, on 28 January 1923 three men tried to cross the 700-mile frozen Chukchi Sea to Siberia for help and food" but the actual distance to the nearest point is less than 100 miles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaulMrThe (talk • contribs) 13:54, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
