"aimed at the return of the territories of ancient Rus lost to foreign invaders centuries before that."

Siberia, Armenia, Azerbeijan, Georgia, Kasakhstan ....... Interesting... . Sorry for that edit, but this could not remain standing. Refdoc 15:25, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

the strife between the nobility and the king, former favorite of the Russian Empress. - can we have the names of the King and the Empress? I thought it was an encyclopedia -- apoivre 19:42, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Actions in 1769 and 1773 are missing

The first important battle was fought at Hotin, Ottomans repulsed Russian attack. Ottoman victory should be added. Also in 1773, Ottomans fought back and scored several victories, those should be added, too.

If anyone doesn't have any objections, I am going to add those.Noyan Sipahi (talk) 13:48, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Self-contradictory sentence

This sentence doesn't make sense: "The war followed the external tensions within Poland." Or at least it's very unclear (I'm guessing that whoever wrote it had in mind a central subject which the war was external to - in other words, writing from the perspective of a particular country). Volunteer Marek  16:31, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Russo-Turkish war is incorrect

You cannot call this Russo-Turkish war becasue Turkey did not exist until later in the XX century. The correct name is Russo-Ottoman war. 213.27.190.94 (talk) 13:26, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

There isn't a correct name. On Wikipedia we use the most common name used by English sources, which in this case is Russo-Turkish War. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 14:48, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Armies

How can tiny Crimean Khaganate have 100.000 soldiers while great Russian Empire have 125.000 soldiers. it was not convincing at all. Can you explain this ? 200.000 Ottoman soldier is also not convincing. 176.90.207.41 (talk) 20:07, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Russia or Russian Empire

In the article, Ottoman Empire is mentioned as Ottoman Empire or High Porte, but Russian Empire is mentioned as Russia (which is wrong). The correct way is Russian Empire. I'm suggesting renaming all "Russia" to "Russian Empire", if nobody objects.Iron Archer (talk) 16:03, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Clarify the Poland Thing

I came to this article because I was listening to a history podcast which mentions in passing that this war was, in part, over Poland. Forgetting my 18th-century geography, my reaction was "WTAF did Turkey care about Poland?" Just the sort of minor issue you expect Wikipedia to clear up.

But I found the article unhelpful. You'd expert this sort of thing to be covered in the intro or the background section, but no. Finally, a third of the way into the article I read "Not content to let the Polish enemy flee over the border, Cossacks followed them into the Ottoman Empire." Oh, right, back then Poland and Turkey shared a border.

It'd be helpful if this were stated explicitly early on.
