Irrelevant content, POV and OR[edit]

In the performance table, each time Krasnodar Krai is mentioned, there was this huge ref: ^[1] Stating that Krasnodar Krai has been listed as "up for liberation" by Ukraine, Ukraine can be renamed to Rus' and rename Russia to Moscovia on world maps and a bunch of citations about this propaganda war. I have no idea why this was added on this article except to push some kind of POV. This absolutely does not belong here. I have removed it as a result, but I see that there is even more of this and other issues with the article. There is a another huge ref under Russian Tennis Federation#1956—1991: Soviet-era federation:^[2] This is just a random collection of links at this point. A YouTube video "The Real Size of Countries", article on Russophobia, article "Maria Romanova's Father Is Accused of Helping Hitler", YouTube video "Is Russia a [de-facto] Colony of USA?! Why There Is a Silence on [a Local Russian] TV?", articles on British Empire, Napolean... I don't have to explain. The section Russian Tennis Federation#2022—present: Ban by Wimbledon and Great Britain tournaments is especially problematic; rather than just saying that players were banned and reactions to this, for some reason there is a whole thing about Ukrainians' fully logical and well-deserved decision to use only one official (Ukrainian) language in the process of achieving the goal, Tsarist autocracy, a whole note about values with the life expectancy of Russia and USA: ^[a]. I have added the tag because the article is now just generally problematic. Mellk (talk) 21:33, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In 2016, the Russian-speaking journalist Efim Fishtein noted the difference of values between the West and Putin's Russia as the following: "Like them [Putin's supporters], I believe that twice two is four, that the Earth is round, that Archimedes' law has not been canceled, that it is better to be rich and healthy than to be poor and sick [the last part is a Soviet-born idiom from 1931[4]]. Moreover, it turns out the overwhelming majority of ideas I have are common with some monster but, on the contrary, only a tiny fraction of them are different. The whole trick is about these different things that are decisive, and not the general ones for our understanding of how the world works and who is a friend to whom".[5]

Since 2019, the federal subject of Russia has been listed as "up for liberation" by Ukraine:"Кулеба відповів главі Держдуми: Готові прийняти пару областей РФ" [Kuleba responded to the head of State Duma: We are ready to accept a couple of Russian Federation regions]. ukrinform.ua (in Ukrainian).

Zodiac nonsense[edit]

The zodiac information needs to be removed from the large table. It is unencylopedic trivia. I tried to remove it using the Visual Editor, but VE is still in beta and removed more than the one column that I asked it to remove. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
