The photo of Lenin with Stalin is not a doctored photo

These references below the photo are inaccurate, there were several photos taken at the time of this photo, showing Lenin and Stalin together in these clothes, here is another of the photos: https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DNAJM0tONbA/WmRa80f7GeI/AAAAAAAAEDI/s4rL4BW96tsbZUKxf3rE8S_HCBb08F1OwCLcBGAs/s1600/Lenin%2Band%2BStalin.jpg and here is another https://cdn.nybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/pipes_1-112014.jpg. I do not have a source that refutes the assertion that the photo is doctored, but there may be some out there, but the other photos I have shown here should at least make an assertion that the photo is doctored seem dubious and that a claim that it is doctored should not be treated as a clear-cut fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.229.82.158 (talk)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. — Czello ^(music) 14:10, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Its clearly biased. Did you read the article? 23.28.148.2 (talk) 00:15, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're going to have to be more specific. Though judging from your recent editing history I'm guessing this isn't a request for more neutrality in the article. — Czello ^(music) 09:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
