 * 1) In the Reception section, I think it's important to note that a lot of teachers and parents in Russia aren't happy with the initiative
 * 2) Re the Christmas lesson, I would simply call it "Christmas Holiday"
 * 3) Immortal Regiment should be wikilinked
 * 4) Re the 12 September 2022 class, the criticism is less about the specific phrase about dying for your motherland (which has a long history) but rather about the politicising the school and imposing an ideology there.


 * Okay, I've tried my best to add more content to the article. As I take another break from the topic to combat the effects of doomscrolling, what do you think of the draft so far? -- Minoa (talk) 20:14, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Looks very good, I think it can be published already. Just two comments
 * The course was developed by the Institute for Education Development Strategy. Let's use the same name in the first sentence.
 * You're relying on the information from Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group for the following statement The first part is not controversial but the second part is a bit vague. Does it refer to people who question the official Russian perspective in general, or specifically in the context of Important Conversations lessons? If it's the former it's true but not relevant to this article. If it's the latter it would be good to have more sources confirming that people have indeed been fined, jailed and fired. In general, I would use Ukrainian sources for topics in which they have expertise (e.g., the reception of these lessons in the occupied territories). There are plenty of other sources like international human rights organisations and Russian opposition media that we can use.

 * , it refers to people being unable to question the official Russian perspective, making the term "conversations" meaningless. I decided to remove the second part for being unclear. -- Minoa (talk) 16:33, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Submission stage
I am not doing well in RL so I wonder how we can speed up the review of this draft? -- Minoa (talk) 11:08, 15 October 2023 (UTC)


 * There are 3,400 drafts waiting. If you are confident, AfC is not mandatory and you can move it yourself. Star   Mississippi  11:57, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I didn't realise you've been waiting for an approval. I'm not part of the Articles for Creation project and so I cannot formally approve the draft. However the AfC is not mandatory and you can move the article to the mainspace yourself (technically, you'll need to create a new article and copy-paste everything from this draft to it). I urge you to do it, your draft is already very good! Alaexis¿question? 18:05, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I was offline, but glad this is sorted. Just for a note for the future, you can skip cut, paste, deletion and just move the article from one namespace to the other. Star   Mississippi  20:57, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Missing week
Can anyone figure out why the official website does not have a theme for 6 November 2023? I do not know if there is a directive that made the theme for 30 October 2023 two weeks long, and there is a gap in the sequence of accessible URLs (i.e. …/topic/67 for 30 October, but …/topic/69 for 13 November 2023). -- Minoa (talk) 18:29, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
