Fair use rationale for Image:Provisional government.jpg[edit]

Image:Provisional government.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 05:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

fates of the ministers[edit]

I deleted the section because it was unsourced and largely misleading coatrack (see edit comment). It can be reinstated if accurate info can be provided: like this Guccisamsclub (talk) 13:08, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October revolution

I reversed the edit because I think this needs to have an authority cited The Actual article on the October Revolution agrees with the earlier version and I think that has full citing of references. Spinney Hill (talk) 11:16, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dates are incorrect[edit]

This statement: "On 25–26 October Red Guard forces under the leadership of Bolshevik commanders launched their final attack on the ineffectual Provisional Government."

Is incorrect. Technically the revolution "began" on the morning of October 24 (November 6 N.S.), with the seizure of the Rabochy Put printing press by Provisional Government forces. Later that day Kerensky ordered the bridges in Petrograd to be raised, and the Military Revolutionary Committee began taking over the city's key institutions.

If you want to be pedantic, you can say that the revolution stretched until the early morning (2AM) of October 26 (November 8 N.S.) with the shelling of the Winter Palace and the subsequent surrender of the government ministers. But at the very least the dates should be changed to October 24-26.

All of this is taken from multiple reputable sources, including:

Rabinowitch, Alexander (2004). The Bolsheviks Come to Power: The Revolution of 1917 in Petrograd. Pluto Press.\

Bard College: Experimental Humanities and Eurasian Studies. "From Empire To Republic: October 24 – November 1, 1917". https://projects.eh.bard.edu/1917/oct-maps.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakem1000 (talk • contribs) 05:01, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
