[edit] Howler

"The treaty was published by Bolsheviki in his work, Izvestiia". Wow. You don't even know what the Izvestia was? And pray tell, who do you think was this Mister Bosheviki? Come on, let's see the literal quote of what you were trying to lift from the literature this time. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:41, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

"A.A. Knopf's work" edited by Bernstein!? No, Bernstein edited the letters, published them in the New York Herald, and they were republished by the publisher A.A.Knopf..

It might also be worth mentioning in this article that the treaty was immediately revoked by the tsar under advice of his ministers, and none of its provisions were ever put into effect. This is all in the same AHR article that is cited.

It is all fine and well to contribute stubs, but they should have a certain minimum quality. Contributing misleading and incomplete articles on treaties like this just confuses naive readers and creates work for other editors. I find it irresponsible. --Macrakis 22:56, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
