@Omegatron I disagree with adding to the lead that this event is also known as the March of Justice. The source you used to support that claim is WP:NYPOST, a non-reliable source. The other source which you claim supports the same is referenced by a broken link. You said then that the image used in the infobox of our article supports this claim, but such a user-generated image can not be used as a source. Maybe other editors will agree with you, but, for the time being, before consensus for your desired change is reached, you should not reinstate this edit. You can ask for a third opinion using WP:3O. —Alalch E.14:30, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But why do you disagree with putting it in the article? That's one of the things people call it...
It isn't so much that reliable sources call the event "March of Justice", it's that Prigozhin characterized the rebellion as a march of justice, from his point of view. We can't just call it a March of Justice becauase Prigozhin proclaimed it to be a march of justice. —Alalch E.17:23, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is a searchable name of the event regardless who coined it hence belongs to the lede. We can't just call - no we cannot and we didnt. The sources did. (And I clarified in the lede who coined the term.) - Altenmann>talk
Special:Diff/1201953198, with the summary: quote Prigozhin per body -- this is already included in the body within a quote of Prigozhin [not in title caps and in boldface, and not without quotation marks], and per MOS:LEADCITE, this information does not need a citation in the lead
Special:Diff/1201958819, with the summary: the second paragraph has much better context for this quote
Whatever the edits, the current state of the lede is OK with me. I am de-watching the page; it was my "drive-by edit", I have no interest in the subject. - Altenmann>talk19:42, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Omegatron: I understand that you see the quote of Prigozhin as a significant alternative name under MOS:BOLDALTNAMES, but I don't think that it is a significant alternative name, and is not generally an alternative name at all, but is a way to convey a part of Prigozhin's rhetoric. When the sources are mentioning the "march of justice" phrase, they are informing the reader that Prigozhin characterized the rebellion as Wagner's "march of justice". The phrase does not redirect to the article: The part of MOS:BOLDALTNAMES saying which should usually also redirect to the article and MOS:BOLDREDIRECT are not fulfilled. There have been many other "marches of justice"/"marches for justice" in history. That's why March of Justice redirects to a disambiguation page. That's not the same as it being a redirect. This is a generic phrase and is not a significant alternative name for this event.—Alalch E.11:59, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've listed multiple sources of it being used as a name for the event. I was trying to remember the name that I'd heard and didn't see it in Wikipedia, so I added it. Inclusion in Wikipedia is based on notability and verifiability, not your personal opinion about whether it was actually a "march of justice" or not. — Omegatron (talk) 18:49, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
June 2023 "sharp ruble decline" following wagner rebellion
There is a piece in here about the ruble "sharply" declining and reaching the lowest value since march 2022.... except june 2023 had no sharp decline and following the first half of the month the exchange rate of the ruble was rising. Can we check things like financial statements even if we are not experts? This was a very clearly false statement and needs to be fact checked. 2604:3D08:EC81:D300:982:FEAD:AC96:1039 (talk) 17:56, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
