Hi Finskii -- I have looked over this situation closely and I continue to disagree with the changes you are making. It strikes me as whitewashing to change the category in that way, and I also found that the article's name was changed from "Killing of Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin" by a now-blocked editor who made a large number of such page moves without consensus. I'd argue that the page name should probably be moved back absent said consensus. As I said in my edit summary, you are most certainly free to seek consensus for the changes you are making on the article's Talk page. If other editors agree with your position, then such changes can be kept. –Erakura(talk) 03:10, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Diannaa, can you revert the changes you made so I can edit what was previously posted? Also, you reverted the added source for the BTS-5B vehicle, along with the reordering of the vehicles, and removal of the T-72EA from the Ukraine variants section. These should not have been reverted as they do not violate any copyright. Finskii (talk) 01:41, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have re-added a missing citation. You seem to think I made multiple changes but I have checked an I did not do that. All I did was remove a paragraph of prose about the T-72AMT and its three supporting citations (one of which I re-added as it is also in use elsewhere in the article). It was a clean removal of a paragraph, not a revert. My edit re-ordered nothing. I can send you the removed paragraph via email but you will have to activate your Wikipedia email first. — Diannaa (talk) 05:43, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much. I would appreciate it if you would email me the removed paragraph so I can revise it to meet the copyright requirements. Finskii (talk) 18:29, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
