Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on 9×39mm. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

So called "9×39mm Vladikavkaz Subsonic Round Restriction"

edit

Reference to the 9×39mm Vladikavkaz Subsonic Round Restriction had already been removed from this article once for lacking citations. Why was it re-added? I've tried searching for it on search engines like Google, and in the Internet Archives. I've tried searching using every variation of including or excluding spaces, using x,*,x, or х, using Latin or Cyrillic alphabet and dropping every word that might not have been translated well from Russian. I cannot find any relevant results that predate it's mentioning on Wikipedia, and the Russian Wikipedia page doesn't even mention such a restriction, despite it being named after a city in Russia and supposedly being a restriction on a Russian cartridge. The earliest mention I could find of it outside Wikipedia was mid-2018 on a site called Ammo One. I contacted someone from that business who didn't know any more about it. As far as I can tell, no information that predates or expands upon the original Wikipedia edit exists in any language. 2601:147:C300:C4F0:81CE:816A:EE33:F437 (talk) 23:22, 20 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Reason for US ban of Russian ammo?

edit

Article currently says the following:

"Commercial Wolf and Tula brand Ammunition that was being imported into the United States was subsequently banned on September 7, 2021 by President Biden as part of sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine."

The ban took effect on September 7th, over half a year before the invasion started on February 24th, 2022.

To the best of my knowledge, the government's official stance on the reason for the ban is given on this website:

https://www.state.gov/fact-sheet-united-states-imposes-additional-costs-on-russia-for-the-poisoning-of-aleksey-navalny/

Reason given being the poisoning of Aleksey Navalny, rather than the invasion that was yet to occur, or even the amassing of troops near the Ukrainian border. Jubuttib (talk) 21:42, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
