== Draft:Yury Yuriyovich Shikula == | ||
| So I've initially raised this concern in the ], but I guess this is a more appropriate place to ask about it as it potentially impacts hundreds of articles. I've just checked a similar discussion from 30 November 2023 and the classification changes still seemed inconclusive back then (no change in practice). Therefore, I'll quote my original concern: | |||
| {{tq|@Ykvach: Do you have proof/evidence that Krasna Hora would now be considered a "rural settlement" and not a "village"? Because from what I understood from the new, late 2023, law is that a settlement with less than 5k people would become a village. By the way, did any specific change even become official? Because it's one thing to approve a new principle, it's another to implement it in reality. We should at least have a total number of villages and rural settlements under this new classification. Otherwise this would seem like ], sadly.}} | |||
| Alternativelly, is it too early to make such massive changes throughout Misplaced Pages? ] (]) <sup>['']'']</sup> 21:21, 28 April 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :{{ping|Ymblanter}} You've justified your edits with before, but that still seems like ] because the new classifications depend on population and structure of the settlement. The appropriate Ukrainian ministry/body should do this reclassification, not us. We should not interpret laws and make such large scale decisions from them. ] (]) <sup>['']'']</sup> 02:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::The fact is there are no urban-type settlements in Ukraine anymore. If the government makes more subtle classification, for example, upgrades some to cities, we will upgrade the articles. We recently had a long discussion about it, with a few participants, but I do not remember where it was. ] (]) 05:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::I'm still split on this... I would greatly appreciate if you linked the previous discussion. Do you remember at least if it was in this project space or a random settlement talk page? ] (]) <sup>['']'']</sup> 05:54, 1 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| :::Furthermore, if you guys are making interim decisions, why not already adopt the 5k people village-settlement threshold? Or at least word the change as an ''implication'' instead of an official fact? ] (]) <sup>['']'']</sup> 06:13, 1 May 2024 (UTC) | |||

All villages, rural settlements, cities keep their status, but the law introduces certain thresholds that settlements need to reach to change status. The process of up/downgrading the status must be initiated by the local council. ] (]) 11:20, 11 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::Interesting. So the urban-type to rural settlement is automatic, but the redistribution among villages and rural settlements is gradual and on a case-by-case basis? ] (]) <sup>['']'']</sup> 17:26, 11 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::Yes. For example, ] Settlement Council, after , sent to the Verkhovna Rada to upgrade the status from rural settlement to city. In the document they sent it is noted that the current population is estimated to be 12,329 with predominantly (~90%) multi-storey housing, which means that Slobozhanske passes both population and population density thresholds. ] (]) 04:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC) | |||

| ::::] is non-negotiable. Their argument is basically worthless. We should try to implement that again. I would recommend a footnote in the infobox and an extra sentence in the body. What do you think? ] (]) <sup>['']'']</sup> 00:07, 3 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::::Please correct me if I'm wrong about this, but AFAIK the exact designation does not actually matter that much in the law of either country. Therefore the way I would recommend writing these articles would be to not mention the settlement types prominently in the first place. Then somewhere in the article body, we can mention briefly that the designation of the settlement is disputed. Example: "Ukraine, which is internationally recognized as having sovereignty over , designates it a rural-type settlement. However, Russia, which illegally occupies , ''de facto'' administrates it as an urban-type settlement". This is similar to what I've already done in a lot of articles about occupied places where the raion is disputed, because the raions were never really important either. | |||
| :::::By the way, does anyone actually have the relevant law about urban-type settlements in Russia? I've taken a look at the relevant section at ] but was not able to really parse it in a useful way. I don't doubt the overall premise that Russia doesn't recognize the changes, but I think it might be useful to double-check what exactly the Russian classifications are. ] (]) 14:00, 3 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::{{tq|not mention the settlement types prominently in the first place}} How should we write the first sentence of the articles though? Because they're mostly: " is a in , Ukraine." Should we just say the generic ''settlement'' in the first place and then go deeper somewhere else? | |||
| ::::::Furthermore, I would be more careful with overgeneralizations and negative connotations in the ''explainer'' paragraph. For example, "which is internationally recognized..." implies all countries recognize the Ukrainian control. Pretty sure not all countries were fond of the way Ukraine handled the separatism in those regions. Further ahead, "illegally" unnecessarily give a heavy negative value judgment on Russia. "Occupies" already implies that, and we don't need to go into a short analysis of legality, who's right or wrong, evil or not, in every settlement article. Especially since Ukraine did illegal things too. Just gotta keep the text dry and with neutral wording. | |||
| ::::::{{tq|but I think it might be useful to double-check what exactly the Russian classifications are.}} Do you mean in Russia or Donbas? I think that if we simply say they don't recognize the new law, then we can get away with simply implying that whatever was the old type still stands, unless they themselves have changed it since. ] (]) <sup>['']'']</sup> 17:16, 3 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::{{tquote|Should we just say the generic settlement in the first place and then go deeper somewhere else?}} | |||
| :::::::Yeah, that's what I was thinking. As for your criticisms of the connotations and generalizations, the exact wording doesn't really matter, it was just the general gist I was trying to get across, which I think we agree on. | |||
| :::::::{{tquote|Do you mean in Russia or Donbas?}} I was under the impression Russia mostly adopted the laws of the LPR and DPR when it annexed those regions. You're probably right that the specifics aren't that important here. ] (]) 16:04, 5 May 2024 (UTC) | |||

| :::::::::We mention the type of settlement for every other country, I do not see why we should not do it for Ukraine. ] (]) 20:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::The Russian classifier, OKATO, would indicate that urban-type settlements remain urban-type settlements. One could argue that that document is outdated, but at least we have a basis to assert that the latest Russian understanding is that they are urban-type. In fact, it seems that all Ukrainian changes are ignored, for example Bakhmut is still referred to as Artemovsk in the document. | |||
| ::::::With this in mind, I argue that for the sake of ] the classifications of both parties should be equally displayed (no footnotes for the Russian POV) in infoboxes and text, but with the Ukrainian classification appearing first for the sake of notability, larger recognition and because order can be more arbitrary. "de facto" and "de jure" should not always (maybe the 2024 captures are still not "de jure" for Russia, idk) be used because the occupied towns are also both "de facto" and "de jure" following the Russian classification in the Russian and local POV. Therefore, the different classifications should be distinguished by "per Russia/Ukraine" or "according to Russia/Ukraine". | |||
| ::::::It should not be solely stated that those settlements "<u>were</u>" considered urban-type as that is only for the Ukrainian POV. So the explanations should also be amended. I also propose to revive the old category as it is still helpful for historic purposes and to respect ]. ] (]) 20:59, 24 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
