Hi, I'm a graphic worker and I have been working on this request
Map of the 4th Ukrainian Front advance during the Nikopol–Krivoi Rog Offensive 1 to 8 February 1944 which was requested by
Kges1901. Unfortunately I lost contact with him so the request is not complete. At the time when I lost contact we were working on day 6 out of 8 so it's pretty close. It's one file for each day in SVG.
When requested it was intended for this article here
Nikopol–Krivoi_Rog_offensive.
I would really like to complete it as there is a lot of time and effort invested in it both from the requester and me.

Greetings,
Hi, I am User:Bookku, my expectations to get expanded Black sea related articles failed miserably. I am expecting and requesting at least some help in expanding the article Draft:List of erstwhile slave trading townships with regions surrounding Black sea. In next steps I wish to have a proper map showing erstwhile slave trading townships across black sea.

Looking for wider feedback on how we want to
romanize the name of the Ukrainian president (
Ukrainian: Зеленський). As he is much in the news and is referred to across many articles, we should come up with one spelling, and stick to it. Both "Zelensky" and "Zelenskyy" are seen in highly reliable sources, which is not surprising as there are a dozen or more systems for
romanization of Ukrainian; and in particular, the two i-like letters -ий
at the end, can be romanized in many ways. Further background on this is available at the
earlier conversation.
This ngrams search points to the spelling "Zelensky" taking off around 2014. We can't be sure without further examination that these apply to the Ukrainian president, however the invasion of the Donbas occurred in 2014, so very likely it does. On the other hand, ngrams searches books exclusively, and there are far more articles from news websites than in books, and they show a different story. A wild-card web search for
"Ukrainian president *"
shows three variants (-yy
, -y
, -iy
) in the top ten results. In the top 50, I counted: yy=15, y=15, iy=5. Interaction between Google exact search and wildcard search can be tricky; here's a slightly different formulation that provides a different picture, with more -yy results:
Ukrainian president Zelen*
.
Any way one searches, the -iy
suffix comes out last (and also looks more to me like
Russian romanization than
Ukrainian romanization), and I think we can drop that one from consideration. Which leaves us a choice between "Zelensky" and "Zelenskyy". Thoughts?

Editors:
The AP is changing its style for the transliteration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s name effective immediately. Previously, the AP spelled the name with -iy at the end, Zelenskiy, in line with the spelling on an English-language webpage used by his campaign when he was running for office. Since then, Zelenskyy has adopted a transliteration with the -yy ending to his name for official use. This also is the English-language spelling used by most governments and government organizations, including the U.S. government, the European Union and NATO.
In general, the AP rule is to use the name by which a person wishes to be known. In this instance, Zelenskyy wants to be known using the -yy ending to his name when transliterated into the Latin alphabet from Cyrillic. We recognize that other news organizations have simplified the spelling to Zelensky in their publications, but AP’s choice of Zelenskyy respects the president’s preferred spelling.
Given this, it seems to make sense to standardise on 'Zelenskyy'. If the AP has verified that Zelenskyy himself prefers 'Zelenskyy', that should be sufficient grounds for using said spelling on Wikipedia. RGloucester — ☎ 16:26, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Linguistically speaking, there is no reason whatsoever to spell it Zelenskyy. It has no distinctive function. The Ukrainian ending has no English sound "i" (like in the word machine) at all – that's the irony. It is confusing and unnecessary. It is also inconsistent with other surnames that are read the same but are spelled "y" (not "yy"). Britannica and BBC did it right. The transliteration should be adapted to the target language. I urge you to rename it to Zelensky. Language is my profession and seeing Zelenskyy hurts my eyes. Lingcro ( talk) 20:51, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
This conversation seems pointless: please let me know if there’s a reason not to close it. We use the article title’s spelling. If there’s a reason to change it, please file a WP:RM at talk:Volodymyr Zelenskyy. — Michael Z. 21:32, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
Michael Z, whether you write it Zelenskyy or Zelensky the English reader will still read it the same way. It has no distinctive function in English whatsoever. Lingcro ( talk) 21:34, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
I am sure you don't spell Tchaikovsky as Tchaikovskyy. It reads the same as the Ukrainian surname of his grandfather. Lingcro ( talk) 21:37, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
Note: the previous closure of this discussion has been undone. Details at your UTP. Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 03:14, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
Given that both the -y and -yy forms are well established in media, why not let his own current spelling of it and the form in which it appears on his passport ( Zelenskyy) be the tie breaker? Largoplazo ( talk) 10:52, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
Why isn't the Russian version of the man's name also in this article, at least in parentheses? He's a Native Russian speaker and his actual name is "Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky". It's important to at least mention that in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.193.69.7 ( talk) 19:45, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Please help resolve a dispute at Talk:Odessa#Use the spelling Kyiv because this is not a historical article. — Michael Z. 00:16, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
The articles
Far-right politics in Ukraine and
Russian separatist forces in Donbas are in need of attention. Two or three editors keep deleting any mention of far-right politics among Russian separatists - yet the article is called "far-right politics in Ukraine", and Donbas is recognized as part of Ukraine by all states except Russia. Far-right politics in Ukraine also seems to
cherrypick sources; it includes some
biased wording; and many sentences are written in poor English (possibly translated from the Russian version) with lots of
needless wordiness. Attempts to fix this have
been reverted by the same two editors, and unfortunately the article hasn't got much attention from other Wikipedians. ~

12:29, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Update: the same editors are now
repeatedly deleting mention of far-right politics from
Russian separatist forces in Donbas as well, with the incorrect claim that it was "original research" or "rumor". ~
Asarlaí
15:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
The two of the sources your text largely relied on are Researchgate and WashingtonPost but both of them haven't used the term "far-right"/"far right".The "ResearchGate" source [Natalia Yudina: Russian nationalists fight Ukrainian war. In: Journal on Baltic Security (de Gruyter). 1, Nr. 1, 2015, S. 47–69. doi:10.1515/jobs-2016-0012], by an expert on the far right, [2] does in fact say "ultra-right", which I think is obviously synonymous. BobFromBrockley ( talk) 12:13, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
@ Sonicyouth86 and Mhorg: I took this page off my watchlist because Asarlai kept throwing his own personal views over what his own sources said. A good rebuttal against Asarlai's edits was made by another user when he provided this expert source which makes it very clear that there is no involvement of Russian National Unity (a banned organization) in this separatism but somehow, Asarlai is trying to spread this misinformation by relying on Ukrainian SBU which is called unreliable by the experts in this field. For this reason as well as the apparent WP:OR I have removed this problematic claim here which hasn't been backed by the source. Also, we should avoid providing coverage to any groups that fail WP:NOTABILITY i.e. don't have own wikipedia page. Segaton ( talk) 09:29, 31 March 2022 (UTC) Further, I have tagged a paragraph that falsely asserts these separatists Russians as "far right" when the both added sources [3] [4] made no mention of a "far right". Segaton ( talk) 09:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Segaton, now you claim the information comes from the "unreliable" Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). No it doesn't, not one of the references is from the SBU, and anyone can see that for themselves. All of the sources use terms such as "far-right", "extreme right", "ultra-right", "ultra-nationalist", "radical nationalist", "extreme nationalist", "national-socialist", "fascist" and/or "neo-Nazi" to describe these Russian groups and note that they've been involved with the separatists. All of them are reliable sources and most of them are academic sources - again anyone can check that. The Washington Post article you keep bringing up is only one of the sources used. It does mention far-right groups: "the Eurasianist Youth inspired by the Fascist and neo-Eurasianist geopolitician Alexander Dugin ... the national-socialist Slavic Union". All of the sources used say that Russian National Unity have been involved on the separatist side. Some of those sources note that it's a Neo-Nazi group, which again anyone can check for themselves. Segaton and Arvind, if you have a source that goes against the other sources, then do what Mhorg suggests: "If you want to add another point of view you can do it, keeping the other points of view in the article". Also, notability isn't an issue. All of the groups have articles, and even if they didn't that wouldn't prevent us naming them. ~ Asarlaí 10:37, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
@ ArvindPalaskar:, your source does not debunk anythere the fact that neo-Nazis are involved on the side of the separatists. The author simply says that there is not enough evidence, but as one can see from the edits of Asarlaí and others there are way more reliable sources than just the SBU. I agree with Asarlaí to request admin involvement as this is an attempt by two users to censor any information about far-right forces on the pro-Russian side in this conlict, despite a lot of reliable evidence.-- KastusK ( talk) 13:48, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Far-right Russian nationalists at
Russian separatist forces in Donbas and
Far-right politics in Ukraine
|
---|
Far-right nationalist groups played an important role among the pro-Russian separatists, arguably more so than on the Ukrainian side. [1] [2] In the early years of the conflict, leaders of the separatist militias were closely linked to the neo-Nazi party Russian National Unity (RNU) led by Alexander Barkashov, which has recruited many fighters. [1] [3] [4] [5] A former member of RNU, Pavel Gubarev, was founder of the Donbas People's Militia and first "governor" of the Donetsk People's Republic. [1] [6] RNU is particularly linked to the Russian Orthodox Army, [1] one of a number of separatist units described as "pro-Tsarist" and "extremist" Orthodox nationalists. [7] Neo-Nazi units include the 'Rusich', 'Svarozhich' and 'Ratibor' battalions, [1] which have Slavic swastikas on their badges. [1] 'Rusich' is part of the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary group which has been linked to far-right extremism. [8] Some of the most influential far-right activists among the Russian separatists are neo-imperialists who seek to revive the Russian Empire. [1] These included Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin, first "minister of defence" of the Donetsk People's Republic, who espouses Russian neo-imperialism and ethno-nationalism. [1] The Russian Imperial Movement, a white supremacist militant group, [8] has recruited thousands of volunteers to join the separatists. [7] Some separatists have flown the black-yellow-white Russian imperial flag, [1] such as the Sparta Battalion. In 2014, volunteers from the National Liberation Movement joined the Donetsk People's Militia bearing portraits of Tsar Nicholas II. [3] Other Russian far-right groups whose members have joined the separatist militias include the Eurasian Youth Union, the banned Slavic Union, and the Movement Against Illegal Immigration. [4] Another Russian separatist paramilitary unit, the Interbrigades, is made up of activists from the National Bolshevik (Nazbol) group Other Russia. [1] References

I've translated Draft:Borodianka massacre from French, but it still needs a fair amount of work to be mainspace-ready, as in several significant aspects it falls short of the sourcing/verifiability expectations for this topic area.

Furthermore, there's a number of quotes in it that are English translations of French translations of Ukrainian quotes.

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Category:Categories by raion of Ukraine mostly contains categories by old raions. We may convert these categories to new raions for sure, but alternatively we may merge them to oblast level.

At Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Ukrainian places)#Disambiguation: settlements in (un)ambiguous raions, we are discussing two possible changes to the way we name articles on Ukrainian places. The first change is (I think uncontroversially) to include the oblast name in cases where an ambiguous raion (e.g. Mykolaiv Raion) is used to disambiguate. The second change is, in order to make article titles shorter and more in line with their Ukrainian equivalents, to remove the oblast from the title in cases where the raion alone is sufficient to disambiguate but the oblast alone is not: for instance, Dubliany, Lviv Raion, Lviv Oblast and Dubliany, Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast would become Dubliany, Lviv Raion and Dubliany, Sambir Raion.

The importance of the Cossacks for Ukrainian national identity (including a mention in the national anthem) is barely touched upon.

There is an AFD in progress which may be of interest to this WikiProject: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Russia's War Crimes House, regarding an article about an exhibition near the World Economic Forum in May.
Relatedly, is there a general article about art, monuments, memorials, museum exhibits, etc. that interpret the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict, whether balanced or POVish on either side? I wonder if this article might be merged into, as a possible resolution of the AFD. Or is other coverage of examples that might be combined to make a more general article? Please feel free to comment at the AFD. -- Doncram ( talk) 23:06, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
I've noticed that Kirill Stremousov is listed at the Russian form of his name, has his Russian name first, and uses the Russian transliteration of his name in the article. The same is true with Denis Pushilin. Shouldn't the Ukrainian name be used/be first? They're Ukrainian citizens, even if they are "separatists". Do we have a policy on this?-- Ermenrich ( talk) 20:12, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a graphic worker and I have been working on this request
Map of the 4th Ukrainian Front advance during the Nikopol–Krivoi Rog Offensive 1 to 8 February 1944 which was requested by
Kges1901. Unfortunately I lost contact with him so the request is not complete. At the time when I lost contact we were working on day 6 out of 8 so it's pretty close. It's one file for each day in SVG.
When requested it was intended for this article here
Nikopol–Krivoi_Rog_offensive.
I would really like to complete it as there is a lot of time and effort invested in it both from the requester and me.

Looking for wider feedback on how we want to
romanize the name of the Ukrainian president (
Ukrainian: Зеленський). As he is much in the news and is referred to across many articles, we should come up with one spelling, and stick to it. Both "Zelensky" and "Zelenskyy" are seen in highly reliable sources, which is not surprising as there are a dozen or more systems for
romanization of Ukrainian; and in particular, the two i-like letters -ий
at the end, can be romanized in many ways. Further background on this is available at the
earlier conversation.
This ngrams search points to the spelling "Zelensky" taking off around 2014. We can't be sure without further examination that these apply to the Ukrainian president, however the invasion of the Donbas occurred in 2014, so very likely it does. On the other hand, ngrams searches books exclusively, and there are far more articles from news websites than in books, and they show a different story. A wild-card web search for
"Ukrainian president *"
shows three variants (-yy
, -y
, -iy
) in the top ten results. In the top 50, I counted: yy=15, y=15, iy=5. Interaction between Google exact search and wildcard search can be tricky; here's a slightly different formulation that provides a different picture, with more -yy results:
Ukrainian president Zelen*
.
Any way one searches, the -iy
suffix comes out last (and also looks more to me like
Russian romanization than
Ukrainian romanization), and I think we can drop that one from consideration. Which leaves us a choice between "Zelensky" and "Zelenskyy". Thoughts?

07:28, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Editors:
The AP is changing its style for the transliteration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s name effective immediately. Previously, the AP spelled the name with -iy at the end, Zelenskiy, in line with the spelling on an English-language webpage used by his campaign when he was running for office. Since then, Zelenskyy has adopted a transliteration with the -yy ending to his name for official use. This also is the English-language spelling used by most governments and government organizations, including the U.S. government, the European Union and NATO.
In general, the AP rule is to use the name by which a person wishes to be known. In this instance, Zelenskyy wants to be known using the -yy ending to his name when transliterated into the Latin alphabet from Cyrillic. We recognize that other news organizations have simplified the spelling to Zelensky in their publications, but AP’s choice of Zelenskyy respects the president’s preferred spelling.
Given this, it seems to make sense to standardise on 'Zelenskyy'. If the AP has verified that Zelenskyy himself prefers 'Zelenskyy', that should be sufficient grounds for using said spelling on Wikipedia. RGloucester — ☎ 16:26, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
Linguistically speaking, there is no reason whatsoever to spell it Zelenskyy. It has no distinctive function. The Ukrainian ending has no English sound "i" (like in the word machine) at all – that's the irony. It is confusing and unnecessary. It is also inconsistent with other surnames that are read the same but are spelled "y" (not "yy"). Britannica and BBC did it right. The transliteration should be adapted to the target language. I urge you to rename it to Zelensky. Language is my profession and seeing Zelenskyy hurts my eyes. Lingcro ( talk) 20:51, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
This conversation seems pointless: please let me know if there’s a reason not to close it. We use the article title’s spelling. If there’s a reason to change it, please file a WP:RM at talk:Volodymyr Zelenskyy. — Michael Z. 21:32, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
Michael Z, whether you write it Zelenskyy or Zelensky the English reader will still read it the same way. It has no distinctive function in English whatsoever. Lingcro ( talk) 21:34, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Given that both the -y and -yy forms are well established in media, why not let his own current spelling of it and the form in which it appears on his passport ( Zelenskyy) be the tie breaker? Largoplazo ( talk) 10:52, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
Why isn't the Russian version of the man's name also in this article, at least in parentheses? He's a Native Russian speaker and his actual name is "Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky".

The articles
Far-right politics in Ukraine and
Russian separatist forces in Donbas are in need of attention. Two or three editors keep deleting any mention of far-right politics among Russian separatists - yet the article is called "far-right politics in Ukraine", and Donbas is recognized as part of Ukraine by all states except Russia. Far-right politics in Ukraine also seems to
cherrypick sources; it includes some
biased wording; and many sentences are written in poor English (possibly translated from the Russian version) with lots of
needless wordiness. Attempts to fix this have
been reverted by the same two editors, and unfortunately the article hasn't got much attention from other Wikipedians. ~

Asarlaí
15:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
The two of the sources your text largely relied on are Researchgate and WashingtonPost but both of them haven't used the term "far-right"/"far right".The "ResearchGate" source [Natalia Yudina: Russian nationalists fight Ukrainian war. In: Journal on Baltic Security (de Gruyter). 1, Nr. 1, 2015, S. 47–69. doi:10.1515/jobs-2016-0012], by an expert on the far right, [2] does in fact say "ultra-right", which I think is obviously synonymous. BobFromBrockley ( talk) 12:13, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
@ Sonicyouth86 and Mhorg: I took this page off my watchlist because Asarlai kept throwing his own personal views over what his own sources said. A good rebuttal against Asarlai's edits was made by another user when he provided this expert source which makes it very clear that there is no involvement of Russian National Unity (a banned organization) in this separatism but somehow, Asarlai is trying to spread this misinformation by relying on Ukrainian SBU which is called unreliable by the experts in this field. For this reason as well as the apparent WP:OR I have removed this problematic claim here which hasn't been backed by the source. Also, we should avoid providing coverage to any groups that fail WP:NOTABILITY i.e. don't have own wikipedia page. Segaton ( talk) 09:29, 31 March 2022 (UTC) Further, I have tagged a paragraph that falsely asserts these separatists Russians as "far right" when the both added sources [3] [4] made no mention of a "far right". Segaton ( talk) 09:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Segaton, now you claim the information comes from the "unreliable" Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). No it doesn't, not one of the references is from the SBU, and anyone can see that for themselves. All of the sources use terms such as "far-right", "extreme right", "ultra-right", "ultra-nationalist", "radical nationalist", "extreme nationalist", "national-socialist", "fascist" and/or "neo-Nazi" to describe these Russian groups and note that they've been involved with the separatists. All of them are reliable sources and most of them are academic sources - again anyone can check that. The Washington Post article you keep bringing up is only one of the sources used. It does mention far-right groups: "the Eurasianist Youth inspired by the Fascist and neo-Eurasianist geopolitician Alexander Dugin ... the national-socialist Slavic Union". All of the sources used say that Russian National Unity have been involved on the separatist side. Some of those sources note that it's a Neo-Nazi group, which again anyone can check for themselves. Segaton and Arvind, if you have a source that goes against the other sources, then do what Mhorg suggests: "If you want to add another point of view you can do it, keeping the other points of view in the article". Also, notability isn't an issue. All of the groups have articles, and even if they didn't that wouldn't prevent us naming them. ~ Asarlaí 10:37, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
@ ArvindPalaskar:, your source does not debunk anythere the fact that neo-Nazis are involved on the side of the separatists. The author simply says that there is not enough evidence, but as one can see from the edits of Asarlaí and others there are way more reliable sources than just the SBU. I agree with Asarlaí to request admin involvement as this is an attempt by two users to censor any information about far-right forces on the pro-Russian side in this conlict, despite a lot of reliable evidence.-- KastusK ( talk) 13:48, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Far-right Russian nationalists at
Russian separatist forces in Donbas and
Far-right politics in Ukraine
|
---|
Far-right nationalist groups played an important role among the pro-Russian separatists, arguably more so than on the Ukrainian side. [1] [2] In the early years of the conflict, leaders of the separatist militias were closely linked to the neo-Nazi party Russian National Unity (RNU) led by Alexander Barkashov, which has recruited many fighters. [1] [3] [4] [5] A former member of RNU, Pavel Gubarev, was founder of the Donbas People's Militia and first "governor" of the Donetsk People's Republic. [1] [6] RNU is particularly linked to the Russian Orthodox Army, [1] one of a number of separatist units described as "pro-Tsarist" and "extremist" Orthodox nationalists. [7] Neo-Nazi units include the 'Rusich', 'Svarozhich' and 'Ratibor' battalions, [1] which have Slavic swastikas on their badges. [1] 'Rusich' is part of the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary group which has been linked to far-right extremism. [8] Some of the most influential far-right activists among the Russian separatists are neo-imperialists who seek to revive the Russian Empire. [1] These included Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin, first "minister of defence" of the Donetsk People's Republic, who espouses Russian neo-imperialism and ethno-nationalism. [1] The Russian Imperial Movement, a white supremacist militant group, [8] has recruited thousands of volunteers to join the separatists. [7] Some separatists have flown the black-yellow-white Russian imperial flag, [1] such as the Sparta Battalion. In 2014, volunteers from the National Liberation Movement joined the Donetsk People's Militia bearing portraits of Tsar Nicholas II. [3] Other Russian far-right groups whose members have joined the separatist militias include the Eurasian Youth Union, the banned Slavic Union, and the Movement Against Illegal Immigration. [4] Another Russian separatist paramilitary unit, the Interbrigades, is made up of activists from the National Bolshevik (Nazbol) group Other Russia. [1] References

)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.

At Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Ukrainian places)#Disambiguation: settlements in (un)ambiguous raions, we are discussing two possible changes to the way we name articles on Ukrainian places.

The second change is, in order to make article titles shorter and more in line with their Ukrainian equivalents, to remove the oblast from the title in cases where the raion alone is sufficient to disambiguate but the oblast alone is not: for instance, Dubliany, Lviv Raion, Lviv Oblast and Dubliany, Sambir Raion, Lviv Oblast would become Dubliany, Lviv Raion and Dubliany, Sambir Raion.
If you would like to contribute to the decision, please

Please see the Talk page for the Kramatorsk article. I have left a suggestion concerning the infobox images. Thank you and best wishes. -- Frans Fowler ( talk) 08:26, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I've created a wikipedia page Draft:Rentberry Inc. which has Ukrainians among its founders. Just wanted to share it and ask for any help. -- Korozia ( talk) 10:41, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed this, but either Russian trolls or well-meaning editors are changing various occupied cities in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts to DNR/LNR or even Russia in short descriptions and info-boxes, for instance here and here. Russia is obviously wrong but I suppose DNR/LNR could be debatable, depending on whether we go with de jure or de facto control (and even then the DNR/LNR don't really control them, Russia does). Do we have a policy on this?-- Ermenrich ( talk) 16:17, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I require help with reviewing the UA-EN translation of the article about Yana Barinova. I believe it to be crucial for prominent Ukrainian figures to get exposure in English Wiki and would appreacite help with this draft. Thanks! Kikochka1202 ( talk) 14:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

The pro-Russian YouTube "journalist" Patrick Lancaster recently got a a Wiki page. Given the serious misinformation this guy peddles - including spreading faked Russian videos of Ukrainian atrocities, as detailed in reliable sources - this article needs some eyes and expansion.-- Ermenrich ( talk) 20:28, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
Patrick Lancaster is a YouTuber who has vlogged from Donbas since 2014. Lancaster's videos have been featured by mainstream media outlets and has contributed to The Telegraph and Sky News. [1]. I invite anyone to look at what that BBC source (from 2017!) actually says about him, namely:
Phillips works with a third pro-separatist video maker - American-born Patrick Lancaster. Lancaster also describes himself as an independent journalist.At any rate, you need to hold this discussion at the article talk page.-- Ermenrich ( talk) 13:16, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi
We need a reliable map for Donetsk–Krivoy Rog Soviet Republic and Ukraine People's Republic Panam2014 ( talk) 05:08, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
Our article Cossacks is currently very Russo-centric, with a strong focus on the Cossacks as a "Russian" military formation. The importance of the Cossacks for Ukrainian national identity (including a mention in the national anthem) is barely touched upon. When it discusses the current Russo-Ukrainian war, it only mentions Russian "Cossack" units, when several Ukrainian units are named after Cossacks or the Sich, etc. This strikes me as a major oversight and something I wanted to draw project participants' attention to.-- Ermenrich ( talk) 15:10, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
There is an AFD in progress which may be of interest to this WikiProject: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Russia's War Crimes House, regarding an article about an exhibition near the World Economic Forum in May.
Relatedly, is there a general article about art, monuments, memorials, museum exhibits, etc. that interpret the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict, whether balanced or POVish on either side? I wonder if this article might be merged into, as a possible resolution of the AFD. Or is other coverage of examples that might be combined to make a more general article? Please feel free to comment at the AFD. -- Doncram ( talk) 23:06, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
I've noticed that Kirill Stremousov is listed at the Russian form of his name, has his Russian name first, and uses the Russian transliteration of his name in the article. The same is true with Denis Pushilin. Shouldn't the Ukrainian name be used/be first? They're Ukrainian citizens, even if they are "separatists". Do we have a policy on this?-- Ermenrich ( talk) 20:12, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

This small community or place has been in the news. I think someone should start a stub for it. Please advise. Bearian ( talk) 01:15, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
I recently created this article, it is one of the volunteer regiments active in the defense of Ukraine, I would like to expand it but am unable to find more reliable English references on it. If anyone has reliable sources on it be it in English or another language I'd appreciate the help, things such as an image of their logo would also be good for the article.
