Hi Team, I just completed a 90+ citation article recalculating the estimated Russian military budget for 2023 at about $1 trillion dollars. It draws heavily from SIPRI, Tradingeconomics, OECD, CIA World Factbook, EIA, Statista, and other reliable sources. It is the most complete survey of reported financial information regarding Russia and is far more complete and systematic than existing articles on the topic. https://aaronlee.substack.com/p/one-trillion-dollars-in-2023-how

I'm not very technical so if I make the changes incorrectly, the principled thing to do would be to examine my research and methodology before rejecting changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:C480:25D0:FD9D:D4A0:7AE7:98E6 (talk) 20:04, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Don't delete Aaron Lee changes without discussing first on talk page. It is an article with over 90 citations. It does not matter if I wrote it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:C480:25D0:4EC:B77B:9F05:4A25 (talk) 03:05, 13 April 2023 (UTC)


 * You may cite those sources directly. Personal blogs are not acceptable. See (edit: see below) WP:SELFPUBLISH and WP:USERGENERATED. Hypnôs (talk) 03:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Someone is violating TOS for wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution) for deleting a thoroughly researched article using SIPRI, World Bank, EIA, and others. Though I brought it up in talk, there is no discussion. Just deletion of important information. YOU CANNOT DELETE THE LINK WITHOUT FIRST EVALUATING THE RESEARCH!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:C480:25D0:1905:4254:C253:8D6E (talk) 03:41, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If you wish to add any information from the reliable sources you mentioned, you are welcome to do so, if you cite them directly. Your self-published blog is unfortunately not acceptable as a source.
 * I linked to WP:SELFSOURCE previously, instead of WP:SELFPUBLISH. I apologize, if this has caused any confusion. Hypnôs (talk) 13:27, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
