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

Saakashvili is now the most popular politician in Ukraine

A poll by Sociological group "RATING" has shown that Saakashvili is now (October 2015) the most popular politician in Ukraine (43% viewed him positively). Is this noticeable enough to include in this article? — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 23:29, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why not. It's not a BLPVIO, or PEACOCK. The only reason it could be seen as being UNDUE is that we're NOTNEWS. Nevertheless, there's been plenty of coverage of the recent elections, etc. His popularity isn't an overnight success story, either. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:19, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A small update: according to "RATING" in June 2016 26% viewed him positively, ranking him the 3th most popular politician in Ukraine (behind Nadia Savchenko and Andriy Sadovy). — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 09:37, 12 July 2016 (UTC) — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 09:37, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Avakov vs Saakashvili| video

I just deleted the "Avakov vs Saakashvili| video" from this article per WP:LINKFARM & WP:SENSATION. Without any explanation about the incident in the text of this article this video looks like Wikipedia:Libel and a threat to WP:IMPARTIAL. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 08:49, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When did he lose Georgian citizenship?

The article contradicts itself: On 4 December 2015 Saakashvili was stripped of his Georgian citizenship. According to him this was done to prevent him to lead the United National Movement in the 2016 Georgian parliamentary election. but then Saakashvili stated on 1 June 2015 that he had given up (three days before) Georgian citizenship to avoid "guaranteed imprisonment" in Georgia. Or did he lose Georgian citizenship automatically when he became Ukrainian, and the December 2015 decision was just a confirmation of that?--176.7.54.203 (talk) 07:41, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[[User talk:176.7.54.203 - 5 months after your post, the very same contradiction is there in the article. I was going to ask the exact same question but ask the question as "Did he loose or give up his citizenship?".Frenchmalawi (talk) 12:00, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He was stripped of Georgian citizenship on account of his being granted Ukrainian citizenship. Here's an article on that.--Kober^Talk 13:28, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if this is noticeable....

but on 11 September 2016 Saakashvili said that the party named after and founded by the man who apointed him governor, the Petro Poroshenko Bloc, "has become a criminal group". At the time I wrote this this was WP:NOTNEWS and not picked up by English speaking main stream press.... but if Saakashvili gets dismissed as governor of Odesa Oblast.... this description of Petro Poroshenko Bloc might be relevant to mention in Saakashvili's Wikipedia article. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 21:27, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
