Not A, not even B

@Closed Limelike Curves: Please stop edit warring. For academic sources that cover this not-so-current event, see my comment at Talk:Revolution_of_Dignity/Archive_10#Arbitrary_break. Also: An "A" rating normally needs a review, see the pages on rating. Rsk6400 (talk) 05:36, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rsk6400 Edit warring? I am not seeing it. Can you please provide diffs? The editor hasn't even edited the article at all.[1]. --David Tornheim (talk) 14:39, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was addressing Closed Limelike Curves and I think they know that they were edit warring on this talk page. Rsk6400 (talk) 14:48, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh right. Now I see. [2][3]. I suggest when you accuse others of edit-warring that you provide the diffs, so it's clear. I didn't understand the title about A or B. It's so rare to see edit-warring on the talk page. I had seen the this change and was going to revert myself, except that I am not sufficiently familiar with the process of how articles are assessed. I am glad you had reverted it. Sorry for any confusion.--David Tornheim (talk) 18:03, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@David Tornheim feel free to nominate this for GA status, then, so I can give it an A-class rating when it's approved. :) Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 02:53, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under “Aftermath”\“Protests against the revolution”

In the last paragraph there may be a confusion between people and the parliament and the reference is wrong or non-existent; I would had deleted that last sentence of the last paragraph Taltzgcz (talk) 10:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Revolution of Dignity" who coined the name, and when did it come into usage?

Who coined the term "Revolution of Dignity", and when did it come into usage? Why is the word "dignity" in the name, and how does that relate to the events in Ukraine? There is no mention of this in this entire padlocked article. Could a Wikipedia power user please add some information about where the name "Revolution of Dignity" came from?120.88.155.223 (talk) 16:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC) 120.88.155.223 (talk) 16:08, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just the heading tells me all I need to know about this article and Wikipedia in general. "The Ukraine revolution (2014)" is the obvious and only title that this article should have. It is clear, descriptive and unbiased. This kind of BS is why Wikipedia is going the same way as the large corporate propaganda outlets. It was once a useful resource; it is now is pure political propaganda. 206.83.119.213 (talk) 00:06, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm not educated on this topic but consensus was made here [4] (under sections "Title change" and "Requested move 16 November 2021"). If you believe that "this article and Wikipedia in general" are biased, feel free to contribute. You can request the article name to be changed if your reasoning is valid and verifiable by reliable secondary sources. Cheers, xRozuRozu (t • c) 05:32, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's called Revolution of Dignity because Ukrainian State propaganda wants it to be called like that. See first three links in the Ukrainian Wikipedia. (1)

1 https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Революція_гідності

The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (2) at University of Alberta & University of Toronto, who maintains the Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine, calls it Euromaidan Revolution. (3)

The source you linked also calls it the Revolution of Dignity. This Wikipedia article also calls it the Maidan Revolution, a part of the Euromaidan protests. x RozuRozu • ^tea _cups 06:29, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Biased Article

This article is clearly biased in favor of the U.S., EU, and NATO, and opposed to Russia. It highlights the Russian actions, both overt and convert, but fails to mention the actions of the U.S., EU, and NATO, either overt or covert. JWRose001 (talk) 23:14, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JWRose001: Hello! You may suggest contributions to this article by making an edit request. Be sure to include reliable sources. Cheers! x RozuRozu • ^tea _cups 06:30, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the reliable sources do not publish the truth. Hope this helps! 2A00:23CC:B589:EF01:A821:6F8F:7B54:24 (talk) 18:36, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, read WP:NOTRIGHT. If you have any reliable sources that support "the truth", you may add it as long as it passes WP:FRNG.

You do make a good point. However, if you would like to change Wikipedia's policies, this article talk page is not the place. Hope this helps! x RozuRozu • ^tea _cups 06:40, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@XRozuRozu: Please deny recognition, WP:DENY. Rsk6400 (talk) 06:42, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Im Not Sure What part of this article is biased towards US, Eu , Nato and oposed to Russia overt and covert since to me the article shows the oposite in other words skewed in favor of Pro Russian narritives/perpectives . The article mentions Russia had pressured Ukraine to reject Eu intigration. But there are no documreentstion provided for this claim that the ukranian parliment actually voted a stop to the european intrigitation or instead voted in favor of Russian trade deal. If the president of Ukraine did the deal soley himself and stopped the intrgrration it seams to me this is uconstitunal according to Ukranian laws at the time and a form of coup since the head of state (ruling President) probably didnt have that much extensive power. This is however pure specualation since no documentation to the claim stated in the article is provided.. 2A01:563:36A:8B00:BD9C:4928:E816:E890 (talk) 22:32, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change request to Overview section

Towards the end of the section, I request that "the evening" be changed to "that evening", as this is more consistent with English as it's usually spoken. Thanks. NESMRTNOST (talk) 13:02, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
