English-language Misplaced Pages is documenting the crisis, too: Fifty-eight editors have joined the English-language WikiProject Ukraine group, and thousands of others are contributing to their projects. They've tallied the journalists killed in Russia, built a thorough daily timeline, and debated whether the mass graves in the Ukrainian city of Izium should be called a "massacre." (After a few days and 8,000 words, they reached no consensus.)

Wikidata map problem in page

I noticed that the wikimedia commons page for the page Pervomaisk has a problem with its map, where the coordinate point is right, but the outline is way off. I've tried to look in the wikidata page but found nothing problematic. It would be great to learn more about how to fix this kinds of issues, thanks!

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Ukraine:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

List of cities in Kherson Oblast has been nominated as a featured list candidate; the nomination can be found here. Since the list falls under this WikiProject's scope, I am posting this notice here. It currently needs more comments, so if you've got time, please comment on the nomination page. Thanks in advance! Hey man im josh (talk) 15:40, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Recent renames

A couple of days ago, the Verkhovna Rada renamed a bunch of localities and administrative divisions, for example, Chervonohrad to Sheptytskyi. At least those which refer to the localities controlled by Ukraine are clearly uncontroversial. Can we now move the articles to the new names, or should something else happen? Ymblanter (talk) 08:33, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Makes sense to me, though I'm having some trouble finding a complete list of the specific places that were renamed, which would be really useful for editors. HappyWith (talk) 16:42, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
As it always happens with Ukrainian topics, users with a low number of edits started to move the articles withuot having any respect to this discussions. This makes the discussion moot. I will now move whatever I can find. Ymblanter (talk) 21:10, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
Anything which is currently controlled by Russia can not be moved without any discussion.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:11, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine

It would be helpful to get some additional eyes on the lede of China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine as there may be some WP:FALSEBALANCE there that needs work. - Amigao (talk) 01:12, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Need someone to check my edit

I recently reverted an IP user on the All-Ukrainian National Congress article a few times before they explained themselves, but it got me curious. First, were they correct in their statement that the names they changed were "romanized falsely"? And second, I decided to fix up the references cited. Before, they only showed the title and author in Ukrainian Cyrillic, but I used Google and Google Translate to find links to the books and to translate the names of the books and their authors. Could someone double check my work and tell me how good/bad of a job I did at that? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, this is my first time retrieving foreign language sources. Sirocco745 (talk) 08:26, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

What I am really worried about is that the text (which is currently in the article) contains references in the format . It most certainly means it was copypasted from an external source and likely is copyrighted (in which case it must be removed and possibly revision deleted) but unfortunately I do not have time to investigate right now. Ymblanter (talk) 10:32, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Ohh, that's a good point. I'll double check the copyright on the text real quick and I'll get back to you on that. Sirocco745 (talk) 00:22, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
