Neutrality

Not sure what the official policy is on this, or if it has been brought up before, but what is the neutrality issues with the primary pictures of world leaders? What I mean is that Saakashvili's photo is him smiling. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin's picture is a mean-looking face. Is this pro-Saakashvili and anti-Putin? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylelovesyou (talk • contribs) 11:07, 30 May 2012

This may have more to do with the pics being in the public domain. If it's ideological that would be concerning and even funny. Who'd be influenced by these pictures, but I will have a look one day, Check villains and non-villains.

The cancellation of his Ukrainian citizenship is not valid. It is not allowed to cancel a citizenship and make the person stateless. 2001:8003:A928:800:605C:9910:65CA:2430 (talk) 07:25, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Location of 8 December 2017 arrest

Hey YantarCoast 👋. Is the place where he was arrested relevant in this Wikipedia article? The article is already bloated with questionable details (if you don't consider Wikipedia to be an almanac....). — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 16:17, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Yes, you are right. We can do without this. I was going to add something there (Pokinboroda has various things to say about the arrest), but changed my mind. Thanks! YantarCoast (talk) 20:17, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unbalanced lead

The lead states that he was appointed Head of the National Reform Council of Ukraine but the body of the article has only one sentence on that, referenced by one page no longer available and one behind a pay all. There's no Wikipedia article on this organisation. By contrast the body of the article has a lot of information about his current incarceration in Georgia but there's nothing in the lead. I'm sure that he is a very controversial figure in Georgia but it would be helpful if the lead and the body of the article could match up. I am a visitor to Georgia and had no idea he was incarcerated until I looked up this article. Nine-and-fifty swans (talk) 01:24, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Noticing in general the lead is oddly long - could use a trimming. Lucksash (talk) 09:25, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What the fuck?

That's a looooooooooong lead. Nobody is gonna read that. Synotia (moan) 20:53, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious grammar

The Prosecutor's Office of Georgia filed criminal charges against Saakashvili over allegedly exceeding official powers during the 2007 Georgian demonstrations, as well as a police raid on and "seizure" of Imedi TV and other assets owned by the late tycoon Badri Patarkatsishvili, the embezzlement of GEL 9,024,367 owned by the Special State Protection Service for his personal purposes, exceeding official powers in the episode of battery of Valeri Gelashvili and organization of a grievous bodily injury, and exceeding official powers in the episode of pardon in prior agreement of the individuals tried for Sandro Girgvliani's murder.

The grammar of the "as well as" item strikes me as dubious, and even if grammatical, "organization" also fails to respect parallel -ing structure. — MaxEnt 04:37, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
