Named after

Isn't Ivan Dementievich Chersky (here introduced as a Russian soldier, geographer and geologist) the same person as a Pole Jan Czerski? ("Czerski" - Polish spelling, "Chersky" - transliteration from Russian notation of his surname). According to Polish encyklopedia (PWN (pl.)) it is the same man, described as: a geologist, palaeontologist and geographer, exiled to Siberia after January Uprising, where he became one of the most notable explorers (...).

It was difficult to find an article in English which supports my claim, but here's one part: The next investigation period, associated with the names of the participants of the Polish rebellion B. Dybovsky, V. Godlevsky, I. Chersky, A. Chekanovsky, and others exiled to Siberia, was extremely intensive. (...) (Research of the Baikal (on http://www.irkutsk.org/))

I correct this; he is a Pole.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 18:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disambig

According to Polish wikipedia (pl:Góry Czerskiego (Zabajkale)), there is another range named after Chersky in Chita Oblast. Shouldn't we create a disambig?--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 18:18, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
