Added - 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage

In February 2023, Hersh reported that the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines had been carried out by the US Navy, the CIA, and the Norwegian Navy, under the direct order of President Biden. Hersh's report relied on an anonymous source who stated that, in June 2022, US Navy divers placed explosive C4 charges on the pipelines at strategic locations selected by the Norwegians. The source said that charges were placed under the cover of a multi-nation wargame simulation known as BALTOPS 22, and remotely detonated three months later by a signal from a sonar buoy dropped by a Norwegian P-8 surveillance plane.[1][2]

It appears I am in an edit war with an admin over including this.
CIA, FBI computers used for Wikipedia edits AUGUST 17, 2007 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN1642896020070816 I am certain it is now contracted out, per the many leaks. Is this admin part of some organization. No. I did not say this. I am saying that I am in a edit war with an admin. Onlyforwikiapps (talk) 02:02, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Actually, you're edit-warring to insert credulously-phrased and undue fringe speculation, which has no place here. And stop with the silly "is this admin part of some organization" nonsense. Read WP:ONUS, and stop loading up edit summaries with the text. Acroterion (talk) 02:10, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Expanding the controversies section

I think the controversies section on the article should be expanded. There was a template put up asking for expansion back in 2021. I was not sure how to go about expanding it, perhaps a bullet point summary of some of the more common controversies? I was originally going to implement that, however I did not want to do something without bringing attention to it here. Not0nshoree (talk) 14:33, 21 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
