Ehm?[edit]

This page has no sources linked to it and appears to be written by some fan-boy. 90 % of the information is irrelevant and this article could easily be cut down to:

"Alexander Solonik (b. - d. -) born in --, was a hitman for the russian mafia. After a brief military service and a jail sentence, he joined the blabla-gang, where he became notorious for his martial arts skills and high record of hits/murders.

He was killed by blabla in blabla in 1990-something."

Recent edits...[edit]

While the recent edits by 75.180.173.129 have added a lot of information, two things have come to my attention.

A) The Page has lost it's format (stub template, and then more article).

and B) The recent addition is completely cut and pasted from here.

Being new to wikipedia, I don't know if I should immediatly remove these edits or what... Please help.

The text on the page seems to be written by a 14 year old - the word "whacked" is used instead of assasinated or killed and the whole article bears no resemblance to wikipedia's standards.

It may have been written by a 14-year old, but one thing is certain, it was cut and pasted from another website.

fixes![edit]

I went in and updated the syntax- I do agree that the page appears to have been written by a 14 year old, and probably a fourteen year old with only minimal English skills. I took the liberty of switching "whacked" to "eliminated" or other appropriate terms, avoiding such fun but non-encyclopedic terms such as "iced", "sleeping with the fishes", etc. This page needs a picture, I think, and it needs to be better divided for better readability. I am canceling the "non-encyclopedic" banner, but I will replace it with a "cite sources please" banner. RSido 02:09, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Huzzah! I have a picture of this hitman, but I don't know how to upload pics to wikipedia! :P Here's a link [1]

This article blows[edit]

Here's another example of an article that went from good to alot worse since the wide masses got on Wikipedia, good edits drown in an ever increasing amount of bad edits, as more and more people find their way here. As it it now, it blows. Last time I read this was in July 2007, it's gotten alot worse since then... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.56.243.238 (talk) 13:25, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This page is a mess[edit]

Barely any credible citations, filled with 'rumors', it all seems like it was written by(and I hate to quote the thread below me) a fanboy who wanted to make his idol famous. IdanElh (talk) 21:08, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
