Incorrect information about Budapest Memorandum
In last sentence of 2.2 is information about signature under Budapest Memorandum. This memorandum (see content of [11]) was signed by presidents Kuchma, Yeltsin, Clinton and PM Major. There is no reason for signing of Lavrov (Yeltsin's deputy in UN). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ike231 (talk • contribs) 08:32, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
- @L'Origine du monde: @Ike231:
- What is reference 11?
- Wasn't Lavrov the plenipotentiary at the UN? Isn't that a far stretch from "deputy"?
- Was the signing ceremony at Budapest? Are there photographs of Kuchma, Yeltsin, Clinton and Major?
- For these reasons the disputed content needs to stay in. Armduino (talk) 09:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Yeltsin signed the memorandum for Russia. You can see this in the full text available at the Budapest Memorandum page. I see no need to include false information in the article. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 10:00, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
The entry was changed to say that he forwarded the memorandum to the UN citing primary sources. It would need secondary sources to show notability. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 10:08, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- @L'Origine du monde: Yes, I changed the verb from "signed" to "transmitted" because that is what he did. The previous text was a factual inaccuracy which needed to be rectified. His actions are all there in black and white. Now you change your tune to "secondary sources" and revert before anyone can search for the secondary sources which you claim are necessary. On what basis is your claim made? Armduino (talk) 10:46, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Armduino there was a false claim in the article that he signed the memorandum which I tried to remove. You reverted my edit with rather incoherent claims. Now you apparently agree that he didn't sign the memorandum. Why do you think that it is important that he "transmitted" this particular memorandum? Presumably in 10 years work he transmitted thousands of documents. To be included in the article his act would need to have been recognised as important by reliable sources. Please remove the text that you added to the article UNTILL you have such sources. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 10:58, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- @L'Origine du monde: I'm sorry you gave no evidence for the claim that he didn't sign the document. I researched the affair and found that he transmitted the document. The text was changed to read "transmitted". Others thought it worthwhile to mention before I arrived. I know little about the structure of the UN and am therefore not in a position to comment on the number of documents transmitted by Lavrov. The number of disarmament treaties is very limited and for this reason alone the subject is notable. The fact that the event occurred in 1994, more than 25 years ago before the internet even existed, makes your request problematic. How is the UN not a reliable source? Armduino (talk) 10:43, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- What is this place?
- I have a project where I add information about a russian person.
- I got lavrov, your website helped me alot.
- This guy was also in the United Nation? 24.237.159.217 (talk) 04:57, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
I told you to check the full text on the Budapest Memorandum page. It clearly says he didn't sign it. There is a difference between primary and secondary sources. Whoever added the information in the first place added wrong information. I should have thought it self evident that transmitting a document is not important. Please provide some reliable secondary sources that mention Lavrov transmitting the document if you want that information to remain in the article. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 11:43, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
Read this please. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources_and_undue_weight#:~:text=To%20give%20undue%20weight%20to,or%20among%20the%20concerned%20parties. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 11:51, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Armduino I have checked the reference you gave. I was shocked to find it was a link to a letter signed by representatives of the US, UK, Ukraine and Lavrov for Russia that did not say that Lavrov had transmitted the memorandum. Please don't make things up and add them to Wikipedia with fake references. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 13:51, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- @L'Origins du monde: I'm sorry you misunderstand me. I did check the full text on the Budapest Memorandum page. In fact, that's where I copied the "transmitted" verb from. I'm glad you agree that "Whoever added the information in the first place added wrong information." which is the reason for my "transmitted" change. Now that we have an agreed document we should be able to agree on a text. I don't think you can sustain any of the final sentence in your comment and would ask that you apologize for it. A little sang-froid from you would be welcome. Armduino (talk) 15:02, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Armduino I can't understand if you are being deliberately obtuse, or if you really don't understand. You are not supposed to copy wrong information from one wikipedia page to annother. Please explain, with sources that agree with you, why your claim that Lavrov transmitted a document to the UN is important enough for this article. There were 4 people who took responsibility for that action.♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 17:08, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

- @L'Origine du monde: please don't use insult as it only serves to make you the fool. You seem to suffer from an incomprehension of what constitutes a secondary source. Your point has now had more than a fortnight to attract supporters. It has attracted nobody. This forum works on consensus. If your point receives no support that means failure. You would be wise not to revert. Armduino (talk) 23:26, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Please provide secondary sources. Nobody has expressed any support for you either. Please stop exaggerating the importance of a simple bureaucratic action that is not mentioned in secondary sources. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 10:02, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
Edited to improve NPOV
As per my previous comment I made some changes to the article to make it less biased towards the conventional Western view. Rather than deleting the section of the article I mention below I indicated that Chatham House is a pro-Western think tank and left the rest of the article it as is. I also reworded part of the Ukraine conflict section. Whoever wrote it originally used a Guardian piece that focuses on Lavrov accusing the United States of interfering and aggravating the conflict as a source but worded it so it read like the gist of the piece was Russia being accused of sponsoring the separatist rebels.User2346 (talk) 01:16, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Source on "Russian-Armenian"?
He is introduced as "Russian Armenian" and his name is transliterated to Armenian in the intro. Yet, the article states that he was born in Moscow to Armenian and Georgian parents, and that's it - no other indication of Armenianness (or Georgianness, for that matter) is given. The article never indicates he worked with the Armenian government. It gives no reason to treat his father's ancestry as more important than his mother's.
Why does the article give so much important to his Armenian side, other than his religion? --Golbez (talk) 13:04, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

- "Sergey Lavrov" - 3,270 results
Also, RIA Novosti [2]; Bloomberg News [3]; The Moscow Times [4]; BBC [5] and many other news agencies/newspapers use "Sergei". --Երևանցի talk 22:51, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose - His common name "Sergei" in Russian dialect, it's undeniable, but Sergey is accepted in English. See: Official page of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, The Telegraph, U.S. Department of State, United Nations, European Union, UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of armenia...etc. Maurice07 (talk) 12:54, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- In what Russian dialect? The sources clearly use "Sergei" more often than "Sergey". Sergei Rachmaninoff is another example. --Երևանցի talk 17:35, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- There are many examples of named "Sergey" : Sergey Kiriyenko, Sergey Mavrin, Sergey Naryshkin, Sergey Bakulin, Sergey Kapitsa, Sergey Shoygu, Sergey Glazyev, Sergey Alexandrovich Markov and hundreds. Maurice07 (talk) 18:54, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
- And this person's first name is spelled "Sergei" more frequently (almost twice as often according to Google Books). --Երևանցի talk 20:01, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

- Neutral I read lots of international news from all over the world and an over whelming amount of English language media uses 'Sergei Lavrov', however International Organisations use 'Sergey Lavrov', also the official Twitter account of the Russian MFA (in English) uses 'Sergey Lavrov'. Because of this, I cannot take sides in the RM but only offer some enlightenment perhaps. IJA (talk) 23:21, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

BLP violations
Outside of some form of nationalist agendas, Lavrov's parentage isn't of consequence to this article. Having checked various references, none indicate any form of verifiable knowledge of that aspect of his background.
As this is a WP:BLP, I suggest that all of the content dealing with his parent's ethnicity should be removed unless reliable sources can be found to substantiate assertions as to his having a mixed background. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 02:47, 16 March 2015 (UTC) regular retouching Wikipedia - Pages (these limits with a vandalism) in favor of the political Image Her Sergey Lavrov CoRatte (talk) 10:48, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Train story
@Alex Bakharev and I have now reverted edits by 2601:140:1:C8E3:F463:196:D537:1C9A a few times on WP:RS grounds and opposition to the use of YouTube as a source. IP user, it's not just about what's true; we rely on reliable, secondary sources to guide us on what content is relevant and what is trivial. If this story is important enough to include in an encyclopedia article, surely some secondary sources will have discussed it. You have supplied a secondary source in this TASS article, but it does not appear to cover the story mentioned in your edits.

Criticism section?
Don't get me wrong the guy does seem like a dick, but it's a bit strange to put that in a Wikipedia article. This section is just a short paragraph about people saying he acts like an asshole. Not very encyclopedic.. I'm sure there are far more innocent politicians who also have reliable sources describing them being called worse but we don't include that stuff for a reason. Prinsgezinde (talk) 02:17, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- Western is losing its hegemony, so Wikipedians revenge by insulting Lavrov. That insulting statements were made back in 2017, and weren't added then, because they aren't encyclopedic. But now, we are in a toxic atmosphere where everything is OK against Russian sphere. Like ostracize Tolstoi or Russian athletes. I could remove that paragraph full of insults from the Criticism section, or just rename it to Insults section, but I won't do it. That kind of content says more about Wikipedia and its community that about the intended target. One last thing, if you have to start your message with "Don't get me wrong the guy does seem like...", it means that some people is scared of being labeled as pro-Something, or any other thing, for just asking basic things, like respect for BLP, neutrality and a minimum of decency while writing an encycopedia.
