NPOV[edit]

Check this article for objectivity. Remove links to western propaganda and to pseudo-independent organisations. Links should point to authoritative independent sources and show all views with no cuts. Links should represent official position of russian government, and view of all russian and international media, including asian countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.167.168.10 (talk) 05:48, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are reptilians still shit in your pants, not allowing to talk about UFOs?

Despite having been asked four years back, the telling points made in this NPOV comment are yet to be addressed. Or would to do so risk highlighting how this article breaks Wikipedia's rules on balanced reporting and the need to avoid pushing an agenda? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.196.0 (talk) 12:55, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia editor detained for violating Russian law[edit]

"Prominent editor of Russian Wikipedia pages detained in Belarus," Yahoo.

"Authorities in Belarus have arrested and detained ... one of the top editors of Russian Wikipedia.... Bernstein was reportedly accused of violating the "fake news" law Russia passed in early March by editing the Wikipedia article about the invasion of Ukraine. Under the new law, anybody found guilty of what the country deems as false information about the Ukraine invasion — remember, the Kremlin calls it a "special military operation" — could be imprisoned for up to 15 years." --2603:7000:2143:8500:19EE:D8B5:8A85:4329 (talk) 06:11, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No Freedom to Present Evidence?[edit]

Seems that Russia does not have the freedom to put across it's Point of View within this article. Is it a case of being innocent - until proven Russian? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.190 (talk) 09:07, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article speaks of facts. It does cover Kremlin's justifications for the restrictions, but the absence of media freedom is not a point of view, it's a fact. Cloud200 (talk) 12:40, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The again, while the article speaks of facts - are they not mixed in with a degree of (anti-Russian) agenda pushing? (Updated) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.242 (talk) 19:59, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
