Crazy Frog & Ukraine
The article currently states: In April 2022, the Government of Ukraine uploaded a video on Facebook of Russian tanks being hit by Ukrainian strikes during the Russian invasion of Ukraine with "Crazy Frog" playing in the background.

This sentence has two issues. The first issue is that it is grammatically incorrect. This is for two reasons: The use of quotation marks around "Crazy Frog" in unnecessary, and regardless of the presence of the quotation marks, it's an incomplete sentence because it lacks context to what is actually playing.

As noted in the main article, the noises made by the Crazy Frog character are a "sound effect produced by Daniel Malmedahl while attempting to imitate the sound of a two-stroke engine". Without any context to what's playing in the video, it's unclear if a song is playing, or simply Crazy Frog sound effects. A simple, four word solution to this would be to correct the sentence to "In April 2022, the Government of Ukraine uploaded a video on Facebook of Russian tanks being hit by Ukrainian strikes during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with a song by the Crazy Frog playing in the background."

However, while this would be an appropriate fix, I argue that the second issue with the sentence is that the name of the song that is playing is important for the context of the event itself. The Crazy Frog has a varied discography, with many songs that would that would significantly affect the tone of the video. A song such as "We Are the Champions (Ding a Dang Dong)" has a more victorious theming, whereas the actual song in the video, "Axel F", is decidedly more goofy and lighthearted. On top of that, adding in the title of the song does not add significant length to the article. ("with a song by the Crazy Frog playing in the background." vs. "with the Crazy Frog's cover of "Axel F" playing in the background.")

I am now providing two reliable sources for the title of the song in the video: A news article by Vice Media Group LLC, as well as a direct link to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine's original Facebook post of the video in question.

To summarize: Simply performing a minor grammar correction on the sentence in question would resolve a majority of the issue. However, I argue that the title of the song being included as well provides important context to the reader without adding unnecessary length or complexity to the article.

 * @Edcellwarrior Like I said in a previous edit summary "the source does not mention the song name, so unless WP:RS is found that does, the exact name of the song is trivia". While the Facebook source (which is not optimal in general) never mentioned the song by name, you have now found a source that does, and I think is fair to include in this instance. So if you restore your edit using that instead, I wouldn't be opposed to it. TylerBurden (talk) 22:30, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
