this image's subheading should be changed to mention Macron in the background. Zelenskyy [left] Macron [middle] Putin [right] NotQualified (talk) 20:37, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He's a founder of a "Servant of the People" party.
This party nominated him as a candidate for president, but, formally, he was nominated as a independent.
Information about his politicial party should be edited and, at least, say about his connection to this politicial party. Hea1en (talk) 09:30, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
martial law and end of normal presidential term[edit]
How about mentioning in the article that normally there would have been elections
by now and he's continuing as President due to martial law. [1]☺Coppertwig (talk) 22:58, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This article’s lede is not in line with the global standard for world leaders. He certainly is in control of a large arsenal but this is not essential to the basic platform of his leadership. I think the lede would be made better if it were in alignment with his global peers. 2001:1308:2DBF:7A00:A4F5:7246:798F:E1D8 (talk) 23:07, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Could you make more specific suggestions of what you would like to see changed and perhaps suggest new wording? What would you write as the second sentence, and where in the article would you first mention the arsenal? ☺Coppertwig (talk) 20:42, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I agree with you. I don't like the second sentence. Perhaps the second sentence should be something unique about him, and being sixth or eighth isn't unique; also, the way it's worded makes it sound to me like it's the most or second- or third-most funded, but if you follow the link it seems to be eighth, so it looks misleading (or outdated) to me. How about this second sentence: "Regularly seen in an olive-green shirt [3], he has positioned himself as an anti-establishment and anti-corruption figure, and promised during his presidential campaign to end Ukraine's protracted conflict with Russia." Except for the shirt, I've taken the wording from two places later in the lead. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 22:02, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I skimmed the whole article and didn't find any source for "sixth largest" armed forces. (Maybe I missed it.) Also I see that the link for "one of the best-funded" actually shows 8th according to one source and 13th according to another. I don't see how to easily tweak this sentence to be less misleading and better-verified, and it's still not the most unique, so my suggested alternative above looks better to me, or perhaps people have other suggestions. ☺Coppertwig (talk) 17:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
