Talk:2022 Russian crude oil price cap sanctions

Lead needs to be trimmed
There is too much text and info in the lead. Plus it's partially outdated as it's not entirely clear that the cap is already in effect for a few months. CrazyPredictor (talk) 23:21, 28 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree, it needs updating and probably shortening. I will give it a go Ânes-pur-sàng (talk) 00:25, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Merger proposal from 2023 Russian oil products sanctions and price cap
They're the same thing. Herreshoffian (talk) 20:41, 2 March 2023 (UTC)


 * They are not the same. Two different sanctions affecting different products, with different prices and rules. We have not seen the effect on the oil products yet, that will come over the next 2-3 months. I think it would be confusing to a reader to mix the two articles.

I see now. Can we talk about changing the words? Maybe like: "Russian refinery products price cap" (RPPC) and "Russian crude oil price cap" (COPC). The language threw me for a loop. The word "crude" needs to be in there. BTW, thanks for your stellar work! We would be ignorant without it. Herreshoffian (talk) 07:26, 16 March 2023 (UTC)


 * The second one was only a concept when the crude oil one was designed... yes, adding the word "crude" into the name would certainly help. "Oil products" is the wording used in the second sanctions documents. By keeping the dates, it distinguishes the differences. Give me a couple of days to consider and review both.
