Talk:Vovan and Lexus

"He is not married. He devotes his free time to "professional training", since pranking, being the art of reincarnation, requires very complex skills and abilities."

This doesn't seem very Wikipedia-ey, in the use of tongue-in-cheek apostrophes and in the whole latter half. Also lacks citation and the fact I can't seem to find a source shows this may be written by him himself or someone close to him (which Wikipedia has strong rules about). 2001:1C00:711:3500:F52E:3CA6:A786:F0F4 (talk) 05:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Margaritis Schinas and Thomas Bach of the International Olympic Committee
Recently (around the 10th of April) V&L pranked the president of the IOC: Prank excerpt on V&L-channel  Manorainjan  16:00, 13 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Very interesting: Looks like this has been covered by Reuters, NZ Herald and others. Would definitely be up for this being included in the article. GnocchiFan (talk) 09:47, 14 April 2024 (UTC)


 * That Reuters article was "Updated 12 days ago" (I hate it, when they do not provide absolute data). So one can conclude, that the prank did take place before the 2th of April. Reuters carefully avoids to name the pranksters. In the video we see, how this is backfiring: World leading functionaries do not know their name. -- Manorainjan  14:23, 14 April 2024 (UTC)


 * The NZH AP-sourced article is dated 21 Mar, 2024 and mention's V&L explicitly.
 * Also "12 days ago" another telephone prank was uploaded on the channel of V&L which is not the same as the one I mentioned initially. So, we are indeed dealing here with several prank calls to Thomas Bach which did not make it into the article yet. But the topic seems to be the same: discouraging African athletes to take part in the Russian friendship games. Anyway, the matter remains kind of vague. No one tells the number of calls and the dates. -- Manorainjan  14:47, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That's fair enough: I've added what I can glean from reliable sources; if there is anything else you would like to add please feel free to do so, and thanks for bringing this to the attention of this talk page. GnocchiFan (talk) 15:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
