FA concerns

This old FA needs significant work. A number of citations needed, page numbers are lacking, issues with referencing formatting, etc. Additionally, going through the wikitext of the article, there are hidden comments suggesting that not all of the text in the article is properly covered by the citations. Also, statement are commented out of the article due to lack of sources, which raises some comprehensiveness concerns. This may need a featured article review.

Could you expand on some of the most major issues? 2603:9001:6D05:40A4:E415:7EC4:83BF:5A99 (talk) 00:18, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I messed something up

I edited out an "infobox" left by a troll... and now the page is quite broken, I'm usually very good at Wikimedia but I can't for the life of me figure out whats going on here. 37.236.86.43 (talk) 16:44, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why are the pogroms not mentioned?

Is there any particular reasons why the pogroms committed by Whites are not mentioned in the article? If not then I will find RS and add them. KetchupSalt (talk) 13:28, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Janos Berecz cited?

For those unaware Janos Berecz was a Leninist hardliner of the ruling party, and his book was written in 1987. This is not an unbiased source, needless to say. 83.255.116.83 (talk) 02:03, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
