Voroshilov, Molotov, Stalin, with Nikolai Yezhov image

Is reference to the File:Voroshilov, Molotov, Stalin, with Nikolai Yezhov.jpg image a good example of censorship? I would regard it more essentially as being an example of PR and spin and don't see the content as central to the article topic. GregKaye ✍♪ 06:00, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Category for editing wikipedia articles to remove information or add bias?

Here's something that probably amounts to attempting to suppress an impression:

I'm not sure which of the methods it falls under. Does anyone want to have an opinion? ArthurDent006.5 (talk) 23:28, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Possible weasel words?

Part of the article says "There are many ways that censors exhibit creativity, but a specific variant is of concern in which censors rewrite texts, giving these texts secret co-authors."

Isn't 'there are many' weasel words in the same way 'many say' or 'it is commonly believed', without citation?116.93.23.41 (talk) 07:53, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Well, I think it's more precise, so it is probably fine. What I'd worry more is whether the claim is referenced. If it is we could check the original source. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 20:43, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
