Why is "the war in Donbas" not capitalized

[edit]

War is part of a proper noun in this case. NesserWiki (talk) 03:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per MOS:CAPS, it is not consistently capped in sources. Cinderella157 (talk) 09:36, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is an error in the "Fighting worsens in eastern Donetsk Oblast " section, where the village of Tarany links to a village in Hungary. Remove this hyperlink. Loraisthebestfont (talk) 08:58, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox end date

[edit]

What's the precedent for a war being subsumed by another war? When there's a battle, there's start and end dates, and you can implicitly tell its part of a larger war, but titling an article "War in <location>" and having an end date in that infobox seems to suggest the "war" ended, when it didn't actually end, that phase of the war was eclipsed by the much larger invasion. Also, I don't think the "Major combat operations phase ended on 20 February 2015" is very relevant, there was sporadic levels of fighting all throughout 2014-2022.

The solution is straightforward: remove the end date and specify that the conflict was followed by the Russian invasion. EpicAdventurer (talk) 14:45, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great idea: I don't know why the "subsumed" thing was totally removed from the article, as if nothing of particular importance happened in 2022. And as for the conflict subsumption: the recent examples include the various ethnic conflicts in Myanmar (Karen , Kachin etc) being subsumed by a all-country Civil war with a new major and largely non-ethnic actor People's Defence Forces. Similar thing happened to ethnic conflicts in Sudan with the inception of 2023 Civil war. These conflicts didn't end, but their context changed markedly.

Add something like "pro goverment partisans" to the ukranian side on the "units involved" list in the infobox. [1]

This are Ukrainian sources and they attribute it to a government entity (RNBO), a member of Rada and a member of Aidar battalion. Considering that almost 10 years have passed since then, I'd suggest to look for a confirmation in more reliable and less biased sources.
Also I would suggest adding information to the article itself first and if it becomes apparent that it was happening on a large scale it can be added to the infobox. Alaexis¿question? 20:10, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
