Why can’t I edit? BG45 (talk) 19:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The page has been heavily vandalized for a long time, so it is now protected to prevent further vandalism. Only extended confirmed users can edit the page. This could change in the future but for this specific page it's not likely. Jamedeus (talk) 20:11, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accents
Shouldn't proper accents be added to his name in Russian? It would be Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин. ImenaOphelia (talk) 16:46, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Proposal to create a section on Putin's long-term process of turning Russia into an authoritarian dictatorship.
I have extended confirmation protection editing rights and relevant sources--I'm just looking for a consensus on creating such a section. I have relevant sources (which I've read), in particular a handful of books by reputable scholars:
Personally, I'd support a small, 1-2 paragraph section on it, linked to a main article on the subject. DarmaniLink (talk) 02:37, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New photo
A free public domain of Putin in 2024 was posted if possible you can find it and use it (it is posted by a russian person) Yousifali777 (talk) 14:01, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also found another one, posted by a Moldovan politician: [[File
Владимир Путин (06-03-2024).jpg]]. I think that this could be used as well
Yes this is the one but let’s wait for an admin to use it Yousifali777 (talk) 10:47, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Age
Why has Wikipedia not included Putin’s age - yes his date of birth is shown but why not his age in brackets as is usual 2A02:C7C:A81D:5000:D9B3:F7B4:611:B6D1 (talk) 18:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 15 March 2024
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
