Whoops! From the X photo it should be "He". Good catch. I'll change "she" to "Hussain" (to avoid any confusion with "Trump"). And "obviously" is probably not the best word, the only thing obvious here is that different people have different views on what is the most amazing article.

There are different spellings in the article — ruwiki and ruviki. Also, it's funny that the main fork, the one that was started by former Wikipedia admins before Ruwiki was even announced, is almost never mentioned in the various articles about Wikipedia forks.

The single use of the word Ruviki in the article was included because the source used that word. RuWiki again was used because a link used the word. I think the most obnoxious thing about Putin's fork was that they stole the name RuWiki. It completely gives away their game, the fork is trying to pretend it's the real Russian Wikipedia, it's not. I think that people who intentionally try to confuse the issue also give themselves away. Smallbones(smalltalk)23:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"I think the most obnoxious thing about Putin's fork was that they stole the name RuWiki" — that was the reason that got User:Dmitry Rozhkov blocked. BilboBeggins (talk) 13:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"But it does include a photo of Putin and Prigozhin together, that might be embarrassing to Putin" - not really. A twenty-meter-wide memorial to Prigozhin and company, just 360 meters from the Kremlin wall, next to the FSO block - apparently does not offend him. Neither does the tag line "memorial Ye. V. Prigozhinu and D. V. Utkinu" (sic, direct transliteration from ru) on Yandex maps, both ru and en editions. Why would then anyone care about some below-the-radar wikiclone?

A bunch of flowers, some photos, and a banner or two that are up for only a week or so are not going to embarrass Putin. A photo of him standing besides a man he reportedly ordered murdered should if he isn't beneath having shame. Isn't this just the latest example of his claim of having them "liquidated in the outhouse"? Smallbones(smalltalk)23:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
