Attempted removal of initial response by Russian officials and media Synotia ( moan) 19:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Don't say "learn to work normally",
practice civility. The sentence Latvia-based Russian news outlet
Meduza reported that pro-government and state-funded
media in Russia were instructed by the Russian government to highlight possible "traces" of Ukrainian involvement
is still in the article, which maintains the crucial information you want to keep. Let's go over what's being contested:
These are irrelevant details and do not tie into Russia/Ukrainian state assertions. There is no cover up being done by editors. Nice4What ( talk · contribs) – ( Thanks ♥) 20:07, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
the actual Tajik attackers were arrested.
I propose keeping the subsection as it appears here. It covers Putin/FSB's allegations, Ukrainian rebuttal, US denial of involvement, militant denial of involvement, and notes that the Russia government is attempting to use state media to push the allegations. I am opposed to including comments by Dmitry Medvedev because they are not allegations. I oppose including the assertion from a Ukrainian politician that this is a Russian false flag because Telegram is not a reliable source, and such a heavy accusation requires coverage from reliable sources. I moved information about the NTV deepfake to the disinformation article as it is more relevant here. I don't find this detail notable but if we want to readd information about the perpetrators initially suspected of being Slavs, I would suggest adding it to the " Investigation" section.

they right away had a deepfake ready for this, at the time the victims were not even counted yet alone put in body bags, says a lot about the motivation of the Russian mediais speculation, editors aren't meant to speculate about motivations and pre-made deepfakes. If NTV was state media, I would maybe support its inclusion, but it is not. Editors can not make their own connections between the NTV deepfake, the investigatory inconsistencies, and the Russian state media campaign ( WP:SYNTH).

edit request to
Crocus City Hall attack has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Current version (the Investigation section):
In another interrogation video released by Russian state media, Shamsidin Faridun, a 25-year-old suspect, said that he participated in the attack in exchange for 1 million rubles ($10,800), half of which he claimed to have already received by card transfer from individuals who contacted him on Telegram and whose identities he did not know.
In the video the suspect says "half-a-million rubles" was offered, half of that he received. Correct figure here:
CNN. Although it's him in the video, I haven't found articles that also mention name and age, likely because his identity hadn't been officially announced at the time the video was released, but at least the number must be corrected.

This sentence in the background section appears to be synthesized. The cited sources are dated prior to the attack and references have not made such a distinction between the Russian reaction to warnings by different administrations. Ecrusized ( talk) 12:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
I have my doubts whether this source [1] is reliable. No third party news organisations seem to have ever mentioned it (in English at least) and the founder is affiliated with a separatist movement. Pieceofmetalwork ( talk) 08:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@ Nice4What: the English word for "Allah" ( Arabic: اللہ) is "God". We don't refer to God in the Russian Orthodox church as "Bog" ( Russian: Бог), or in Greek Orthodoxy as "Theos" ( Greek: Θεός); we translate those words as "God". To suggest, for example, that Russian Christians "worship Bog", or that Jews "worship Yahweh", would simply be wrong.
I know some Christians like to make the distinction for religio-political reasons to suggest Muslims worship some sort of false god, but there really is no distinction; all of these religious groups profess to worship אלוהים, the god of the Torah. He would have said " Allahu Akbar!", but that actually means "God is the greatest!"; that is to say, praising God.
To anticipate an objection: exactly how these various religions conceptualise and worship the God of the Torah in different ways is not relevant here; if you want to assert that the singular God of the Muslims is different from the triune God of mainstream Christianity, you must necessarily also assert that the God of mainstream Christianity is different from the singular God of the Torah; something mainstream Christians would find highly heretical.
Your discomfort with this is not relevant: please see endless discussion in Talk:Allah for this. Please change this back. — The Anome ( talk) 14:34, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Nice4What: I see someone else has already undone your edit. Please discuss here before reverting again. — The Anome ( talk) 14:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@ Harizotoh9 keeps removing claims by Ukrainian HUR that it was a false flag operation by Russian special services. He says its undue, but I think it is important enough to keep in the Article. Added info back in. F.Alexsandr ( talk) 13:59, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
After a major event, there's a lot of fluff and sensationalist reporting, and we don't have to include all of it. Our opinions on what should or should not be included in articles is irrelevant, but sourcing. This angle has barely been reported, and some of it is traced to Ukranian sources (which like Russian sources shouldn't be used at all). The WP:WEIGHT is that this is an IS attack, and claiming it was a Russian false flag is actually a WP:FRINGE theory at this point. Some Ukraine officials in hte heat of the moment on telegram said it was an FSB attack, but isn't an official investigation or even an official government stance of Ukraine, it's a post on telegram made in the heat of the moment. Zelensky made an official statement on the attack, and he didn't include any such claims, and instead offered more mild critique. Zelensky and Putin's official statements on the matter should be included since they're widely reported. Not the false flag statements by some guy. Likewise, Medvedev's statements were removed also citing WP:UNDUE for similar reasons: not well reported on.
Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR) claimed the shooting was a "planned and deliberate provocation by the Russian special services" at the behest of Putin.
Also as written this is actually literally factually wrong. This is NOT an official position or conclusion of HUR at all. A representitive of HUR in an unofficial capacity made this statement. Secondly, it's sources to questionable sources: a Ukranian source and a Turkish source. We should be using the highest quality international sourcing. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 14:40, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Why is there the "not to be confused" tag at top? is anyone confusing them? They happened at different decade and (kind of) different motives, the article names are entirely different. - Karel Bílek ( talk). 19:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
One of them was killed in the Crocus City Hall itself and the other one in Bryansk region (shot in their car). It means there were 6 attackers in all. 93.81.37.232 ( talk) 20:15, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Claims are not proof of responsibility. Yet this article is treating it as such.

Wikipedia cannot work on the premise that Russian investigators are lying and that everything that Russian authorities say is a lie. It cannot refer to proven facts as "part of a Russian propaganda effort". This is Wikipedia, not a NAFO troll Twitter account. There is an empty "further reading" subsection which doesn't tie to anything called "Disinformation regarding the Crocus attack" which is uncalled for. Claiming things as basic as the terrorists found on their way to Ukraine cannot be editorialized or construed to mean "Russians are trying to lie". There is an investigation underway, all lines of investigation are open. That is all Wikipedia needs to say. Not take sides in the propaganda war. 78.21.160.236 ( talk) 15:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

The article in its present state seems to confirm that 1. the Russian narrative is nothing but lies, and 2. the only perpetrators named by reliable sources are ISIS-K.
If this is actually the case, shouldn't we make it a bit more explicit that Russia's claims are false? At the moment it's simply presented as "they say this, they say that", but if we're already concluding in the infobox that it was definitely ISIS-K and not even remotely Ukraine, we should clarify that the Russian narrative is false. There's also no mention of Russia's narrative in the first few paragraphs, or that it's a false one. I think that would be a relevant and important piece of info for people to see as soon as they find this page. 106.69.220.173 ( talk) 16:58, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
The terrorists received a fine for speeding on the highway.
