As promised, I can reply to your comments here, but would like to be sure. Was it you who made these edits: [1],[2]? My very best wishes (talk) 01:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Are you kidding me? First off, you know my IP address and it's Australian. And the other person is from India when you use Geolocation. We are from completely different countries and we have nothing in common. Are you fishing for an excuse to get me blocked? HarmonyCrusador (talk) 06:20, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Well, I did not check any geolocations, at least at this point, and I did not ask about them. Speaking about out content disagreement, it seems so minor I am not even sure what it is, exactly. But since you already made postings on noticeboards, I would rather wait and see what other contributors have to say if anything. Happy editing!

You don't know what it is actually? I doubt that. I want to restore the info you removed. That includes Amnesty stating that it was an internal decision to remove Navalyn's status and that they refined their rules where they explain they understand that nobody should be unfairly trapped in their past. You however keep ignoring and finding reasons to not include it and revert me restoring the info you keep removing. Also in regards to that Indian IP address, please put yourself in my shoes. I edit with an Australian IP address on that thread and suddenly another assumes a visibly and obviously different indian IP address is me. I didn't know how to make of that at first and perhaps I shouldn't have snapped in response. But you should not be surprised of widespread opposition to concealing his racist past. Indeed, geolocation tools on Wikipedia confirm that the two IP addresses are from different countries. While I'll trust your word on this matter, it's crucial not to make casual accusations without evidence. I see you have also tried to cast a stink on others that they are possibly that Indian editor.[3] You can't keep doing that as jumping to these conclusions on editors with differing opinions, so casually and carelessly, isn't fair or friendly.

And I will also address you and your edits here. While it's understandable that Navalny's supporters may feel sensitive about his recent passing, it's important to acknowledge that his influence is unlikely to significantly impact future events. Those atempting to uphold a saintly image of him for electoral purposes, must know it's futile. Wikipedia's purpose is not for them but only to provide accurate and comprehensive information, including both positive and negative aspects of an individual's life. Concealing unfavorable details only undermines the reliability and integrity of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia.

Merely removing specific details, like his xenophobic videos, won't erase the truth. Excuses about maintaining balance on Wikipedia seem like a convenient tactic to block necessary edits. [Your recent deleting of references to the Russian March's neo-Nazi attraction and Navalny's participation suggests to me your discomfort to let people know the march is frequented by many neo Nazis and one of their most notable participants was Navalyn.][4] Readers deserve access to these facts, regardless of discomfort. Despite recent media attention following Navalny's passing, his significance may fade over time. While I'm not solely fixated on highlighting his racist past, your actions raise my concerns. But understanding Navalny's racist history is uncomfortable but crucial for accurately assessing his legacy and addressing racism within political movements.

So in saying all of this, I trust that you won't continue to delete information like Amnesty's statement about their decision being an internal one and not influenced by Moscow, to initially remove Navalny's status, as it's factual and aligns with Wikipedia's role, which is to document such details and allow readers to form their own conclusions rather than withholding essential information from them.HarmonyCrusador (talk) 10:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

I replied at article talk page [5]. My very best wishes (talk) 17:01, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

As about "While it's understandable that Navalny's supporters may feel ... Readers deserve access to these facts...", I mostly agree with this. But the information you are talking about is actually included on proper pages and in proper places of these pages. My very best wishes (talk) 19:03, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
