Pine trough[edit]

What is a "pine trough"? She is described as being born in one. I think this needs to be explained. Rissa, Guild of Copy Editors (talk) 20:20, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Quite simply a trough made out of pine, I'd say. http://campodefiori.com/2014site/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/I_0365.jpg Correctrix (talk) 09:54, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Smithsonian article[edit]

I think it would be interesting if the Smithsonian article was worked into the first paragraph of this. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/for-40-years-this-russian-family-was-cut-off-from-all-human-contact-unaware-of-world-war-ii-7354256/ Rissa, Guild of Copy Editors (talk) 20:29, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Early Life-language[edit]

I don't understand why she wouldn't be able to speak an intelligible language. She was surrounded by her family. Didn't they talk to each other? Why was she only making "cooing" sounds? That makes no sense. 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:E414:A677:3871:4939 (talk) 17:56, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
