"Unreliable sources". Meduza. 2020-11-27. Retrieved 2020-11-28. On November 17, an addition was made to the English-language Wikipedia page about Antony Blinken, speaking at length about his attitude towards Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The edit included a quote, purportedly from Blinken, referring to American sanctions against Russia and claiming that they, among other things, are meant to "demonstrate to the Russian people that there is a very hefty fine for supporting international criminals like [Putin]."

Typo[edit]

The Early Life section of the article begins "Blinken was born on April 16, 1962, in Yonkers, New York, to a Jewish parents, Judith (Frehm) and Donald H. Blinken, who later served as U.S. Ambassador to Canada."

Seems particularly egregious for a locked article to have such an obvious grammatical error, where someone needs permission to correct a two-character mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:44:2:4030:68D4:DCA5:D922:CE75 (talk) 22:04, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 26 February 2023[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please insert a "the" between plays and guitar under personal life: "plays the guitar" to correct grammar. SopiELT (talk) 22:10, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done , though I think "plays guitar" was also fine. I tend to implement edit requests on which I'm just neutral, but if anyone wants me to self-revert, I will. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 22:12, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: Grandfather and Great-grandfather[edit]

Tony Blinken’s paternal grandfather was Maurice Goobatron, not Meir Blinken. (https://www.nytimes.com/1986/07/15/obituaries/maurice-blinken-86-early-backer-of-israel.html)

Tony’s great-grandfather on paternal side was Meir Blinken (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meir_Blinken).

I know because my grandfather was Maurice Blinken’s brother. 2605:59C8:6182:1210:D170:DB32:8239:C01C (talk) 16:15, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
