Suicide?

There was no official statement from the investigators yet, so the allegation should be removed. --2A0A:A540:A732:0:105F:B8F1:A1BE:F266 (talk) 11:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I rephrased it. That suicide is suspected does not seem to be in dispute from what I can tell, but we definitely cannot call it a suicide in WP:WikiVoice at this time per WP:BDP. TompaDompa (talk) 18:02, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Екатерина Александровская погибла 18 июля, выпав из окна. По предварительным данным, причиной гибели спортсменки стал суицид. = Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya died on July 18, falling out of the window. According to preliminary data, the cause of the death of the athlete was suicide.

Alexandrovskaya or Aleksandrovskaya?

The surname is Aleksandrovskaya with KS, not Alexandrovskaya with X. --191.115.23.151 (talk) 21:08, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That may conform to a recognised romanisation of her Cyrillic name. However, Wikipedia uses the predominant spelling of subjects' names as used in published sources, and only 2 of the almost 40 sources we have spell it Aleks-. Most have Alex-. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 00:40, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The date

Вы понимаете, что такое часовые пояса? Когда в России была ночь и случилась трагедия, "на Западе", т.е. в UK & US, была ещё пятница, 17. Но время-то фиксируется по местному времени. Развели войну правок на ровном месте. Заметьте, все российские источники (https://www.vesti.ru/article/2431057 // Vesti, tass.ru/sport/8998941 // TASS, https://tass.ru/sport/9008587 // TASS), вообще все ([1]), фиксируют дату 18 июля. Нет ни одного с 17. Вам это ни о чём не говорит? Lesless (talk) 22:10, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Translation: do You know that the Time zones mean? There was 18 July in Moscow, while in Western world was still 17 July yet. All russian sources told about 18 July, all sources! (https://www.vesti.ru/article/2431057 // Vesti, tass.ru/sport/8998941 // TASS, https://tass.ru/sport/9008587 // TASS), at all: ([2]). Do it tell You just something?

- Вот сейчас у нас понедельник, 27 июля. На Западе бы написали "воскресенье", наверно, судя по источникам. Lesless (talk) 22:52, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
