Lead too long

Jack Upland, Brandmeister In July when I added the lead too long warning you guys got it shortened down to a good length in regards to MOS, now it has been expanded again. I believe the lead needs to be shortened again in compliance with MOS. Aaron106 (talk) 04:47, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just get rid of what's been added.--Jack Upland (talk) 06:38, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comparing with the current version, I see no substantial changes. In any case feel free to keep it trimmed and/or place a hidden comment in the lead against its expansion. Brandmeistertalk 08:59, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 23 December 2022

The soviet anthem do not have the Chinese sub so I want to add one pls Unknow00000 (talk) 17:45, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: This is an article about a Russian speaking nation on the English Wikipedia, why should there be a Chinese subtitle to the Soviet Anthem? Cannolis (talk) 21:03, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Environment

An edit I made removing the Environment section was reverted. I believe it isn't necessary to include such a topic as the topic generally falls under the Geography section and other country articles on wikipedia seem to lack an environment section.The section currently lacks any content worth merging with the geography section due to being poorly written and lacking relevance/notability so I felt that removing it did not need an explanation; I had not realised that this was a contentious topic.

I think this is an uncontroversial opinion and doesn't require much debate or the establishment of a consensus to make this change. Removing content usually only requires debate if there's prior consensus or objections, of which there seem to be none to me based on the reason given for the initial edit revert.

The entire section was about environmental concerns anyway. Environment should be mentioned under geography, not its own section. See Geography of the Soviet Union. Mellk (talk) 07:13, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
