What kind of abbreviated piece of crap is this article? What kind of artificial piquancy is this? Who says the battle for Donbas ended in September 2022? Who are you making crazy? What about the ] and the ]? ] and ] are not located in Donbass? This is hard core cretinism that it is unrepeatable to watch, let alone read. I have never seen so many cavities and malicious oversights in my life. There is more neutrality in the current ] than a single battle related to the Russia-Ukraine War. I had to write this or I was going to explode with rage. How rude of you to leave out Soledar and Bahmut battles. This is a crime by moderators and admins. My stomach hurt from nervousness. I no longer have the energy to look up anything related to the ] on the English Misplaced Pages. Trunke has no objectivity and all are ordinary hairstyles of piquantery wrapped in very low-quality wafers. The horror. — ] (]) 21:51, 20 October 2023 (UTC) |

:It was either this or deleting the article. As the "hard core cretin" who initiated the scope-changing discussion myself, I put forward the argument that the idea of the "battle of Donbas" in its former form was largely invented by Misplaced Pages editors and not a concept actually well-defined in sources - and that the only actual defined scope for an article with this title would be the summer 2022 offensive, as referred to by a couple of military analysts. ("Summer 2022 Donbas offensive", or something along those lines, might be a better name for this article in the long run, IMO, but I doubt that could get consensus.) |

::Better that this piece of garbage be removed from the article like many of my articles that have been deleted, edited or redirected than to look this disgustingly hollow, illegible and artificially shortened to the point of unbearableness. I literally feel sick. The ] never existed because the Russian forces could not get closer than 20-30 km to it, but from a bunch of my local articles related to the battles for nearby places, someone simply put everything in one bag and made the ] article. I understood this as a kind of simplification of the archival material of the fighting after the Russian victory after the ], until the heavy defeat in the ]. Essentially, the Russians never or still did not launch an offensive on Sloviansk not because they did not want to but because they could not because they were stopped at the places of Krasnopillia and Bogorodichnoe and at the city of Seversk. The ] was officially announced by ] on April 19 last year that it had officially begun, which happened the day before with the rapid Russian capture of the city of ]. That is all known. The fact that the Russian side slowed down the advance by no means means that the offensive was stopped in July after the battle of ] nor after the ], as evidenced by the Russian offensive operations in the battles for the places of ], ], ], ], ] and ], where the casualties are huge on both sides. This Russian offensive was stopped, but not by the ] in September and October last year, but after the takeover of ] by members of the Wagner Group and the ] that began on June 4. The result is tied because Russian forces captured the cities of ] and ] this year, but they lost ], ] and ] last year, and this year Ukrainian forces recovered many lost settlements around the city of Bakhmut and soon regained some lost positions in the city of ] itself on its western periphery. The offensive was stopped either on May 20 after the Russian capture of ] or on June 1 after the retreat of the ] or on June 4 at the beginning of the ]. There is no fourth, and it was certainly not stopped before May and June of this year. It is so obvious and the article must be updated until that period or better removed and deleted. It looks so amateurishly hollow that it's unbearable to look at, let alone read. A simple pamphlet. — ] (]) 06:01, 21 October 2023 (UTC) |

:::This article was always unnecessary duplicated trash. I had advocated for its deletion many times. Finally it was given a proper scope, the Russian offensive that ended after the capture of Lysychansk and Sievierodonetsk. This article extends a bit after that because it still makes sense to group the info here. |

:::{{tq|The fact that the Russian side slowed down the advance by no means means that the offensive was stopped in July after the battle of Lysychansk}} they explicitly announced an "operational pause" right after it. {{tq|nor after the Ukrainian Kharkov counter-offensive}} we've never seen any regional-scale offensive aimed at taking the whole of Donbas after it, only focused and localised efforts at Bakhmut and Soledar, Avdiivka, Marinka or Lyman, or at small villages in Luhansk Oblast, these not having taken place at the same time being part of one single coordinated effort, rather an intermittent Russian try of their luck in different parts of the front every once in a while. Even smaller in scope articles like ] feel like they make little sense because fighting keeps stopping and re-erupting. Effectively the Kharkiv counteroffensive put an end to the strategy of taking the whole of Donbas at once as encircling it was not possible anymore. I believe the shortening of the article's scope was a very good idea. ] (]) 14:53, 21 October 2023 (UTC) |

::::@] {{tq|Finally it was given a proper scope, the Russian offensive that ended after the capture of Lysychansk and Sievierodonetsk.}} |
|
|
::::Considering that scope, would you be open to the prospect of moving the majority of the post-Lysychansk (July–September) information to either the background or early sections of the ] article? I'm suggesting this split because nearly all of the content in that timeframe takes place within the environs of Bakhmut, and much of it involves the Wagner Group. Geographically, I'm talking about places west of Popasna and north of Horlivka, like the ], ], ], ], ], ], ], ] and the like. |
|
|
::::I know you said {{tq|This article extends a bit after that because it still makes sense to group the info here}}, but considering the "operational pause" and the different geographical focus, I think adding that info to ] makes more sense than retaining it here. I also want to ping @] since I know you've been closely involved in defining the scope here. Lastly, apologies to all for replying to such an old comment. |

:::::I don't think it should be done. The logic here is that this Russian offensive was the second phase of the war, between the first (from the full-scale invasion to the withdrawal from the north) and the third (Ukrainian counteroffensives, starting in September) phases. Between July and September took place engagements that I do not believe should be included in the Battle of Bakhmut article, such as the ]. I think it makes more sense to keep pre- and post-July Russian advances in the same place as they have in common that Russia still had the initiative at that moment. ] (]) 23:44, 22 January 2024 (UTC) |
|
|
::::::Super Dromaeosaurus: First of all, apologies for my lack of clarity. I am not suggesting that the entire section, including Avdiivka–Pisky, be added to the ] article – only the relevant portions. The remainder should be removed and integrated into ] and/or location-specific articles like ]. |
|
|
::::::I think it's a fallacy to say that Russia lost initiative country-wide on the entire front line during September 2022. Wagner was still conducting offensive operations in the Bakhmut region before, during, and after the Ukrainian counteroffensive. I'd argue that in the Bakhmut sector, Wagner/Russia had "the initiative" the entire time. The post-Lysychansk engagements in that region are a prelude/opening phase to the ]; there is already some overlapping information, since that article begins on 1 August 2022. |
|
|
::::::But I think the key disagreement is whether or not the scope of this article should be a "phase" or an "offensive." You say {{tq|this Russian offensive was the second phase of the war}}, but I don't see them as one and the same - the "offensive" ended at Lysychansk, but the "phase" ended with the Ukrainian counteroffensive. It seems unreasonable to consider the April–July Severodonetsk–Lysychansk operation to be part of the same offensive as some later clashes much further south, which followed an operational pause. |
|
|
::::::If this necessitates a consensus to change the scope to refer strictly to a April–July "offensive," I am prepared to propose that. We don't have articles on ] or the ], because phases encompass a number of offensives in different geographical regions which are better understood when separated. |

I request to the status changed from inconclusive to ongoing. There's no indication that the battle of Donbas is over. There's still fighting ongoing in settlements and cities in the Donbas such Advika, Marinka, near Bakhmut and surrounding areas. It doesn't make any sense that the battle is considered over while both sides are still launching offensive to capture territory in the region. I also request to change the title to "Battle of Donbas (2022-present)", as the battle is still ongoing. LegendaryChristopher (talk) 06:31, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
