I reverted your edit to Battle of Łódź (1914). It's not for you to say that a 1914 issue of The New York Times isn't a reliable source. Why? It's possible those numbers aren't really accurate but the newspaper qualifies as a reliable source and you have no evidence to discredit their claim. Chris Troutman ( talk) 01:17, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello Yura,
You deleted the following from the Battle of Smolensk with the comment "Delete soviet propaganda"
Russian sources: 200.000–250.000 casualties

That is not how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia tries for a NPOV, and that usually involves listing the opinions of both sides as long as they are reliable sources. If you believe that Zolatarev is not a reliable source, then you should explain the reasons for that belief.
We do not want to end up with an unbalanced Wikipedia that lists the views of only one side. NPOV is an important goal of Wikipedia, and without it Wikipedia's reputation will suffer. Your edits to Brusilov Offensive have created a rather absurd article that says in the introduction "Brusilov Offensive of 1916 the worst crisis of World War I for Austria-Hungary and the Triple Entente's greatest victory" yet lists Russian casualties as twice of Austria-Hungary and Germany. Numerous edits made by you to articles involving Russia seem to violate NPOV.
Best,

First, are you read the book: VA Zolotarev and al., Great Patriotic War 1941-1945? I read this book, i have this book in paper version, the figure of 200-250 thousand German causilites - without reference to the German documents. it's just a Soviet estimate without reliable confirmation. we have reliable German documents about German military losses.
Second, I removed the introduction "Brusilov Offensive of 1916 the worst crisis of World War I for Austria-Hungary and the Triple Entente's greatest victory" by mistake. I just do not agree with the figures of losses.
all the best, Yura2404 ( talk) 01:41, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Здравствуйте! You wrote the article on the Battle of Mesoten, but noticed that no article existed for the town in which the battle occurred. Is it possible that the battle occured in the town Mežotne? Is there any chance you could give me access to a scan of the page you used that referred to this invormation?
