Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces
Please, stop removing information about controversies relating to the inclusion of Soviet insignia in the Church. I have no cited three articles from three reputable publications, all of which show that there are concerns expressed across wide sectors of the clergy and academic circles about the appropriateness of their inclusion. These meets the criterion set out in WP:N ad WP:NPOV. If you wish to include a counter argument, please do so and cite a reputable source. BillyDee (talk) 18:47, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Please, stop removing information about Russian trolls and their involvement in the U.S. national anthem protests debate. I provided credible sources that cannot be called into question. Thank you. Cskamoscow100 (talk) 5:53, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Russian nationalism addition
Hey, thank you for your added information to the Russian nationalism page. I deleted what you added because I didn't think it belonged in the lead (the intro paragraph). The lead is used to offer a concise summary of the article's contents, leaving specifics to the body of the page. Sound good? -- Jprg1966  (talk)  02:16, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Merger discussion for Guards Tape
An article that you have been involved in editing&mdash;Guards Tape&mdash;has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. TheImperios (talk) 19:34, 9 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Ни у какой другой ленточки в Википедии нет отдельных статей, посвященных разным ее использованиям. Красная ленточка как символ борьбы со СПИДом и как символ борьбы с алкоголизмом - одна и та же статья. Так почему же у черно-оранжевой ленточки должно быть несколько статей, если во всех своих ипостасях она применяется одинаково - как военный символ? Кстати, ленту к ордену Славы никогда гвардейской не называли, а вот георгиевской - да, еще и в официальных газетах. TheImperios (talk) 19:34, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Ribbon of Saint George
Hey, I actually wanted to talk with you about the edits. You do bring a lot of good information, but the problem is that the text you write becomes a bit bloated; I do not think the terminology section should document every single legal document in Russian military history. I am not trying to remove the information you bring; I am just adapting it to a more easily readable format. For example, the last sentence you added - Non-military awards, such as the Guards Naval flag and the navy cap tallies worn by Soviet Navy servicemen were referenced in official texts as the Guards ribbon - had the same overall meaning as the first clause of the previous sentence - Formally, the black-orange ribbon from the uniforms of Guards units was called the Guards ribbon, with the only additional information being the specific elements of Guards uniforms which bore the ribbon. I kept that information, as well as the references you brought, but I added it to the original sentence, so as not to make the paragraph too bloated.

I am your partner here, not your enemy. Please, if you want to cooperate, answer to this message and we'll think of how to collaborate properly. Do not ignore my messages and suggestions like you did last year when I wanted to discuss the merger. TheImperios (talk) 15:17, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
