Change serves in "who serves as the sixth and current president of Ukraine." to "is serving" Loganp23 (talk) 17:12, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- It looks like at somepoint since you made your request it has been changed to "who has served as . . . since", which is more gramatically correct. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 04:22, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Relationship to oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi removed from the article.
Ihor Kolomoyskyi owned the TV stations Zelenskyy rose to fame on, and was widely reported as supporting Zelenskyy's rise to power. Zelenskyy was also reported to have favoured Kolomoyskyi while in power. All references to this in the article have recently been removed without discussion. ♥ L'Origine du monde ♥ ♥ Talk ♥ 21:30, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Well, I can currently see at least two explicit references to Kolomoyskyi. They seem OK to me, at least a the first glance. My very best wishes (talk) 02:55, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Pandora Papers
Should his Pandora Papers scandal really be in its own separate section? Comparing this to the articles of other heads of state/government who were also implicated in the Pandora Papers, like Sebastián Piñera, Guillermo Lasso, Uhuru Kenyatta, Ali Bongo etc–none of them have a separate, specific section dedicated to it. So I don't see why this information can't go to the #Presidency subsection, as these things normally do. The way it currently is makes the article more cluttered. Rousillon (talk) 18:08, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
- Not only I agree, but this entire controversy does not seem to be notable and deserving inclusion to the page, in context of his biography as it looks today. My very best wishes (talk) 02:48, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Since the removal caused objections, I indeed moved this content to another most relevant section. My very best wishes (talk) 20:32, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
According to some sources[1][2] Zelensky posted a photo on the day of the victory over Nazism, 9 May, of a Ukrainian soldier with a Totenkopf on his chest. When the scandal on social media began to grow, he removed the post. Do you think this is an important enough event to put in the article? It could be of the same importance as what happened to the head of the Donetks People's Republic.[3] I'd be to avoid putting this stuff on both the articles.--Mhorg (talk) 18:30, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- If you would "avoid putting this stuff on both the articles", then what was the purpose of this posting? Remember, WP:POINT. My very best wishes (talk) 23:19, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- The purpose of this question is to know what other colleagues think about a fact of this kind. Whether it is important enough to be mentioned in the article or not. I don't understand your criticism. Mhorg (talk) 19:38, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- So, you say you would "avoid putting this stuff" yourself, but others might. Hence you did think this is something potentially worth inclusion. But did not you see this is not reliably sourced? My very best wishes (talk) 20:15, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Mhorg: It's not important to the article. It's a non-event. Best regards, BetsyRMadison (talk) 13:28, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Transliteration of the surname
Two standard transliterations of the surname Зеленський should be added: Zelenskij and Zelenskii. Compare [4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onomasticguru (talk • contribs) 16:07, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Even more importantly, we have a mismatch of other zelinskyi/kyy/ky/kij/kii/ki's Nikolay_Zelinsky
- And then there's the issue that there are only 55k in google for Zelinksyy, over 2.5 million for Zelinsky, and 116 million for Zelensky Chaosdruid (talk) 02:01, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
"former actor, and former comedian"
I don't see why this cannot be phrased as "former actor and comedian". No need for two former's Rousillon (talk) 19:40, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, that makes more sense. Furius (talk) 21:06, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't. It can still be easily read as a former actor, but still a comedian - or that he used to be an actor, but then became a comedian.
- Consider something like "former comedic actor", or "formerly an actor/comedian", as they cannot be misinterpreted. Chaosdruid (talk) 06:18, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- I still believe he should be described simply as "former actor". We could say "comic actor" because he mostly acted in comedies. He was not a stand-up comedian. My very best wishes (talk) 02:53, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
A "Public image" section in this article
Bit of a Wiki amateur here, but does this article need a "Public image" section, as there are in articles for other world leaders? Zelensky has been propelled into an international limelight as a result of the invasion, his response to which has won him international praise but also concerns about his governance. Before the war, he was also known in Ukraine - and likely won the election - because of his communication style and social media savvy. Doesn't his domestic and international public image - pre and post invasion - deserve a separate section? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.180.192.10 (talk) 12:27, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, sure, and you are welcome to suggest your version here. My very best wishes (talk) 03:18, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- A touch late but I want to add to this point that his "reaction image" to the atrocities committed in Bucha should be included in this article somewhere. It's a haunting photograph and conveys his emotions regarding the current war incredibly well. Ruby.Boulton (talk) 00:00, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Please change the "57th Guards Motor Division" to the "153rd Rifle Division" in his early life period. During WW2, it was called the 153rd Rifle Division still. 70.89.96.6 (talk) 17:41, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Not done: A source provided within the relevant sentence refers to it as the 57th, so it would probably be best to stick with the source unless there is consensus to do otherwise. —Sirdog (talk) 06:36, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
Suggestion
Hi, would it be possible to change Zelenskyy’s 2019 official portrait to the one after Kyiv was liberated? Just to bring it up to date. Devdevo1919 (talk) 16:06, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
