| == Occupation in infobox for localities affected by the ongoing military conflict 2: Crimea == | |||
| Back in February, there was a consensus established to not include occupied status of Ukrainian settlements in the infobox. See ]. | |||
| This decision was made after some editors had been adding things like “Country: Ukraine (de jure), Russia (de facto)” or otherwise messing with the infobox fields that are meant to show the country-province-district (specifically country-oblast-raion) hierarchy that contains a settlement. | |||
| The proposal by @] then was to make a decision and apply it to “clear cut cases,” and not to articles on settlements in Crimea, because they were “really administered by Russia.” | |||
| But the Crimea distinction was not a real one, and if it weren’t so clear in the past, it is more obvious now. Russia has “annexed” not only Crimea, but also the four other regions where it occupies cities, towns, and villages: in the Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. At the same time, the Crimean peninsula has become more clearly part of the war zone, as Russian military targets there are hit by Ukrainian artillery, missiles, and drones. More importantly, there’s no reason in any guidelines or consensus to treat Russian occupation in Crimea as special. | |||
| We should either A) apply this decision uniformly throughout the occupied territories of Ukraine, and remove occupied status from inboxes, while ensuring that it is properly covered in article text; or B) decide to hold another RFC to rescind the decision, figure out a scheme for representing occupied status throughout settlement infoboxes (in Ukraine and more broadly), and resolve to update it as localities are occupied and liberated in Ukraine. —''] ].'' 03:28, 24 August 2023 (UTC) | |||

Also, I removed some content from the awards section, as it appeared to pertain to a different individual with the same name. Could someone please review this draft for accuracy?

| :There is still a pretty clear difference between Crimea/Sevastopol and Donetsk / Luhansk/ Zaporizhzhia/ Kherson/ Kharkiv Oblasts. ] (]) 03:35, 24 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::Settlements in the former were occupied for longer. What else are you thinking of? —''] ].'' 03:38, 24 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :::My thought would be this is premature since there is no early prospect of any part of Crimea being other than Russian-administered and thus there's been no real change from the recent RFC (March 2023). The occasional drone/bomb/other sea or air delivered device has been going on since before then and doesn't seem to affect who controls the land.--] (]) 12:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::::You’re saying Crimea has no “early prospect” but southeastern Ukraine does. Is that not ]? Can you describe this in concrete terms based on RS and related to our guidelines? | |||
| ::::1) There was no consensus to believe anything significant about early or late prospects when that consensus was reached, and 2) since then the Russians have built and are expanding defensive lines in Crimea in anticipation of a Ukrainian advance into the peninsula, the Ukrainians have increased attacks and put Russian ground lines of communication into and out of Crimea under fire, the Russians have evacuated submarines and ships from Sevastopol, and the Ukrainians have just now conducted another commando op into Crimea. | |||
| ::::The situation of conflict and occupation after sham referendums is the same in all parts of Russian-occupied Ukraine, differing only in details, like the specific date of a settlement’s occupation. There is no reason to privilege the Russian occupation of the one over the other by subverting the subdivision fields in infobox templates. | |||
| ::::The consensus was intended “in principle” to apply generally to infoboxes in articles on occupied settlements anywhere. Settlements in southeastern Ukraine were seen as a field where this disruptive form of non-NPOV data in infoboxes was spreading and urgently needed to be dealt with. Now that that is stably resolved, we should deal with the same situation in articles on settlements in Crimea, because there is no NPOV reason to treat it differently. —''] ].'' 20:54, 24 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :::::The other oblasts are active war zones with part controlled by each side in each case. It makes sense for the sake of stability not to go back and forth depending on who controls it. Crimea and Sebastopol may soon fall into that category, or may not, but do not now, and Russian control is nine years old. Without showing disrespect to anyone, it makes sense to list in the infobox details of the present administration by Russia as reflecting the situation as it is, and not as we might like it to be. As you say, we cannot predict the future per ]. Accordingly, we should not anticipate what the fortunes of war may bring, and there is time enough to do it later. At the present time the existing consensus governs, and there has not been time or reason to disturb it. ] (]) 15:46, 25 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::Parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts have also been occupied for over nine years, and Crimea is part of the active war zone with strikes on a daily basis and part of Russian forces already driven out, so these are not qualitative, substantial distinctions. —''] ].'' 22:55, 25 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::Note that, unlike Crimea, these territories were not formally annexed by Russia until much later. I'm not sure if this matters for the discussion though. ] (]) 08:26, 27 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :::Russian laws are implemented in Crimea, they are not implemented in Donetsk. There is freedom of movement between Crimea and RUssia, there is no freedom of movement between Russia and LUhansk. There are people who moved from Russia to Crimea, there are no people who moved from Russia to the occupied areas of Kherson Oblast unless they are military personnel or are on a temporrary mission and get moved back after the mission is deemed to expire (some of them do not even move and stay in Moscow while formally being in Berdiansk. ] (]) 01:41, 25 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Russia is resettling all of the occupied territories: it is settling Russians in Mariupol and elsewhere as they had already been doing in Crimea, and forcibly deporting Ukrainians from all of these regions. And also changing the population by forcing Russian passports onto Ukrainians, everywhere it can. I don’t know why “people moved” should affect displaying occupied status in the infobox anyway. | |||
| ::::You’ll have to explain this about Russian law, and why should matter more than, for example, Russian propaganda, because both are things the Kremlin makes up, amends, enforces, and violates selectively and arbitrarily.
