I don't know whether this belongs in the article or not

He's been hospitalised with a head injury. http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Russia_space_chief_hospitalised_with_head_injury_reports_999.html http://english.ruvr.ru/2012_03_11/68122869/ "physical and emotional pressure" from being head of Roscosmos. I'm minded to keep it out due to WP:BLP unless something else follows on from this. Secretlondon (talk) 02:31, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

BLP concerns from poor edits

This edit used a cite that made no mention of Popovkin, and other edits by IP addresses geolocating in Malaysia have been adding incorrectly cited claims to articles Fobos-Grunt and Alexander V. Zakharov. I've been patiently checking each one, and usually end up reverting them as wholly unsupported claims. There might be sources for the claims but the ones provided are not them. However, this later edit checks out fine, so I am reluctant to request semi protection for these articles. Could all editors, both anonymous and logged in, please take extra care in checking your edits are rigorously supported by the cites given. -84user (talk) 00:29, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These are not really about Popovkin at all - they are about Fobos-Grunt. Semi-protection would be utter overkill. I don't see that there are BLP issues - but I can see you have a content dispute with other editors which has spread to this article too. Secretlondon (talk) 01:13, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
