• I will be reviewing this article; will start shortly. --K.e.coffman (talk) 14:24, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
• I am unable to find this material in Kotkin, page 384: Immediately after Ordzhonikidze's death was announced, the cause of death was disputed. Exiled Mensheviks publicized the idea that Stalin was the reason behind the death, either directly ordering Ordzhonikidze's death, or forcing him to kill himself. Am I missing something? --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:10, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that. It was on the next page (p. 385). The specific lines cited are: "But rumors spread in Moscow, picked up by the Menshevik Socialist Herald in Paris, that Stalin had either killed him or driven him to suicide." Glad to see you going over it so thoroughly. Kaiser matias (talk) 19:13, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
