I believe the name of this article should be changed
Currently, the name of this article is "Russian Revolution", I believe this name can be confusing as there were many Russian revolutions. I think it would be best if the article is renamed to "1917 Russian Revolution" to avoid confusion.

The following statement should be elaborated on, explained better, or a source for it's claim should be provided: "This government was dominated by the interests of prominent capitalists"(...). This line occurs towards the top of this article. Who were these mentioned capitalists? What were their positions in or how did they otherwise relate to the provisional government? What were their interests and how did they impact the provisional government? Where can we find more information about their involvement should we wish to learn it? 2001:14BA:1F1:CE00:C973:BF0B:C5F4:82B7 (talk) 01:16, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Melmann 20:28, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
why redacting the food riot in Petrograd?
@FictiousLibrarian why did you remove the food riot, which was the reason why the tsar abdicated- losing control over the capital, and why did you replace a strict reason, "Fraternization" (which was what happened, people not wanting to fight the germans, but not actively trying to fight their own people and start a mutiny) with an uncertain "large scale mutiny"?

- In short the food riot was overshadowed by other protests and events. Historians and myself tend to view the food riot as the beginning of the tide turning against the Tsar rather than being the watershed moment that caused the Tsar to lose control. Nevertheless I do believe that it is important, if you want to include it in the body of the article or you wish for me to do that, I would be happy to add it. However I don't think it is necessary for the lead.
