Hi Victoria,
It appears you misread the sentence in question. Smallbones was talking about a hypothetical future in which the Russian government might block both Wikipedia and VPNs. This would result in the articles being written by Ukrainians, and given that Ruviki copies most of its content from the Russian Wikipedia, they would (in that hypothetical future) have to somehow adjust the content of these articles.
At any rate, Smallbones has answered you on the talk page.
(I personally had no involvement in the article. I only read it after publication.)
Best, Andreas

It's sad to see the Signpost perpetuating the hoax that "[Russian Wikipedia] articles on the Russian invasion of Ukraine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine... [were]... originally written by Ukrainians". After a balanced description of the diverse editors of the Russian Wikipedia, which come from all over the world, why is there a sudden support of Russian propaganda?
