Russian Propaganda (subsection of Personal Life)
Hey! Since this Wiki entry is about a Russian person, shouldn't it be deleted? I mean since evil Russia decided all by its evil self to invade and destroy Ukraine, shouldn't ALL Russian writers, historical figures, politicians, athletes, inventors, entrepreneurs, cat sellers, tennis players, soccer moms, etc be deleted from the digital universe? I mean, Russia doesn't exist anymore until USA invades it right? WTF!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.30.64.190 (talk) 18:20, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
Poniatowski (subsection of Personal Life)
The subsection could benefit from more citations added (the only one here does not concern Poniatowski personally). I have raised a citation need against this sentence, which as a British reader particularly alerted me, as it's not something I heard of:
In 1757, Poniatowski served in the British Army during the Seven Years' War, thus severing close relationships with Catherine.
No mention of this is made in Poniatowski's own wiki article. If he did, then more detail would be appreciated which could go into his biography - was he combatant volunteer in British uniform or just an attached military observer, where was he on the field and what formation/unit was he with?Cloptonson (talk) 10:12, 23 April 2022 (UTC)Belated signature
Opinion, lack of citation / sources
This entry is riddled with opinion and large sections of it have no underlying source material. Needs to be flagged as problematic and re-written 193.119.103.214 (talk) 00:20, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Confusing sentence
I do not understand this sentence:
The global trade by Russian natural resources and Russian grain provoked famines, starvation and fear of famines in Russia.
Is this merely an error of preposition (e.g. by->of) or is there something missing (say, “The global trade by Catherine’s Trade Ministry of Russian natural resources” &c.)? 136.56.21.109 (talk) 23:30, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Serfdom Section is Poorly written
The section on Catherine's policy toward Serfs reads like a bad high school history essay, or something translated by Google from another language. Its repetitive, overly wordy and yet somehow still unclear. Three consecutive sentences begin with the word "however." Its unclear what the passage means when it discusses the serfs wanting to replace Catherine with the "true" empress, and contradictory in that it begins saying that serfs viewed her positively then ends by saying she was viewed negatively. 2603:7000:8303:E89B:9925:C36B:90A6:FD64 (talk) 03:31, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
