Crimea

Before adding Crimea please establish via high quality sources, where the Crimean pageant organisers are based. There is a difference between the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, and the Republic of Crimea (Russia). You must use the correct name, not what pageant organisers use (Same as North Korea or South Korea, not Korea). Note that in either case, the flags are subnational and should not be used.Sciencefish (talk) 08:15, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Crimea is part of Russia, greetings 178.51.64.144 (talk) 14:22, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was not the question. Sciencefish (talk) 14:29, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Big agreement with Sciencefish on this. Especially, I see three rational possibilities:

Crimea status vis-a-vis flags
Row index	Header text	Flag is appropriate?
1	Crimea is part of Ukraine	No (MOS:NONSOVEREIGN)
2	Crimea is part of Russia	No (MOS:NONSOVEREIGN)
3	Crimea is an independent nation	Yes

Hopefully we can all agree on this truth table. I don't think anybody is arguing for row 3, especially with the anon's comment "Crimea is part of Russia" regardless of whether that is something English Wikipedia community would endorse. Am I missing any facts or interpretations of the Manual of Style guidelines? ☆ Bri (talk) 15:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, now a mobile editor who probably is not aware of this conversation is adding various sub-national flags back in. I'm probably going to ask for admin help on this. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:43, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

“Big agreement with Sciencefish on this.”

Crimea was annexed by Russia ten years ago. See Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. Like I know we have to be neutral, but if Crimea is part of Russia or Ukraine, then it is Russia. Even Donetsk, Luhansk and other oblasts in Ukraine are now part of Russia. 178.51.64.144 (talk) 17:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anon, you are confusing me now. Are you agreeing with me and Sciencefish that there should be no flags on this row? ☆ Bri (talk) 17:55, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just answer my question on my talk page WinterSummer11 (talk) 18:23, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now I'm even more confused. Were you logged out when you posted to this talkpage before? ☆ Bri (talk) 18:53, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen you edited on "Miss Universe 1952" page. Why didn't you delete the flag of Puerto Rico or all the debuts of their first season ? I can't understand why other pages of pageants can add these debuts or flags but this page can't ? We had edited it normally until you came here 2 days ago and deleted all, but if i have the mistakes that other pages did not have i can accept it. But no, other pages also did it why didn't you come there and fix? for example the Miss Universe page. Why didn't you come and fix them too on other pages like Miss Universe or Miss Grand, Miss Earth, Miss Supranational ? They also have the same problems. WinterSummer11 (talk) 18:58, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's best to keep this discussion focused on this article. We can improve it without worrying about the others right now. Two editors have now engaged you with the flag related policy or consensus guidelines. You have not spoken to your acceptance of the guidelines. How about starting with a "yes I agree" to that? ☆ Bri (talk) 20:40, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is just because you could not even answer to my question on my talk page. You came and asked me first and then i have answered but you did not replied. "Two editors have now engaged you with the flag related policy or consensus guidelines" ? only you ! and you did not even answer my question. How can i agree ? WinterSummer11 (talk) 20:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So don't want to discuss with me about this"Crimea" just come to my page and talk to me about this "flag" issue, just fix all the flag at all other pageant pages (for example Miss Universe) and also the debuts in the first season. Not only on this page. WinterSummer11 (talk) 20:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I mean Crimea gained independence and it stayed for almost a month. Then it was annexed by Russia. Now if the Crimea pageant organization wants to use “Republic of Crimea” for neutrality ok. But the Republic of Crimea is part of Russia for now. 178.51.64.144 (talk) 20:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's also worth noting that the majority of these competitions are organised by franchised companies, not national governments, and are choosing in most cases to use their countries. In some cases they are they aren't countries at all, and the organisers use older inappropriate names such as Persia. Sciencefish (talk) 16:55, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The designated delegate of Miss Cosmo Crimea, is the winner of Miss Tourism Crimea (according to her bio), wherein as per checking the organization's official account, it has a flag of Russia at their bio. Although the point is uncertain due to geopolitics (on whether Crimea is part of Russia, Ukraine, or neither), but as per the question on where the pageant organizers are based, the answer would be Russia. See their bio here: [1] Japemizen627 (talk) 04:50, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As per my discussion post below, I have attempted to fix the issue of Crimea and the flag relevance. In the pageant, Miss Cosmo Crimea was under Russia and in order to differentiate the two I have added " – Crimea". In addition to this, I have replaced the Puerto Rico and Hong Kong flag back as other pageant pages such as Miss Universe and Miss World have the flags despite being a territory for sake of uniformity. NathalieMendoza (talk) 17:47, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can feel that we're having some difficulty resolving this between the three (or is it four?) editors involved. Have requested input from a 3rd party. ☆ Bri (talk) 21:08, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Response to third opinion request (Disagreement on whether to include flags for Crimea and other subnational entities):

I am responding to a third opinion request for this page. I have made no previous edits on Miss Cosmo 2024 and have no known association with the editors involved in this discussion. The third opinion process is informal and I have no special powers or authority apart from being a fresh pair of eyes.

The political status of Crimea is unambiguously a contentious issue. Generally, flags of national entities should be used when flags are displayed as icons like this. However, in situations like this where the nation whose flag should be displayed is disputed, they should not be used. See this section of the MOS for detail: Flags should not be used in any list, table or infobox where they could result in ambiguity, controversy or a lack of clarity. Some of the discussion which has taken place at User talk:WinterSummer11 has focused on other articles; see this page explaining why that isn't relevant. A flag should not, in my opinion, be used to represent Crimea. For consistency, it makes sense that other subnational entities (PR, USVI, etc.) do not have flags either. AviationFreak💬 02:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

so it means that other pages can use these flags but this page can not ? Wow it's so "fair". They could not even answer my question so it's mean this problem is not fixed. That person named Bri even deleted all the debuts on this page. I do not agree with this." While consistency with other pages is not a good argument by itself, comparisons between pages are often made in order to illustrate a more substantial argument; as such, comparative statements should not be dismissed out of hand unless they lack any deeper reasoning". So it means i am not wrong here. OK Bri you can do whatever you want i quit using wikipedia and editing on this page. Nice try ! Keep ruining this page.

Stop using Instagram as a source

Note that currently, just under 60% of this article's sources are from Instagram. Per WP:RSPINSTAGRAM, Instagram is Generally unreliable: [...] Outside exceptional circumstances, the source should normally not be used, and it should never be used for information about a living person. Even if the source provided passes most of the relevant checks per WP:SOCIALMEDIA, it fails 5. The Wikipedia article is not based primarily on such sources. Sciencefish (talk) 10:49, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this, I'm against of putting the Instagram as source and I want you to make a consensus about this to delete all Instagram sources since a lot of legit sources are popping up in this edition because the article is newly pageant and beside waiting for the other legit source that all the participating countries included on that source. 🌼𝓡𝓬 𝓡𝓪𝓶𝔃🍁 (talk) 13:11, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no consensus needed. The article is now based on instagram sources, against WP:SOCIALMEDIA 5. The Wikipedia article is not based primarily on such sources. They are not a minority, any new ones will be reverted per WP:SOCIALMEDIA. Older ones need replacing. Sciencefish (talk) 13:18, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What if that's the only reliable source available to back up the claims? And besides, you're right about that this is the inaugural edition of the pageant and it has no deeper foothold yet unlike the other pageants, but there is no other source for the information other than what the franchise holder's account announces. Should we only consider not allowing the announcements by pageant enthusiasts or vloggers instead of the whole general Instagram thing? The announcements made by the pageant organizers would be claimed as reliable since it came from them, and not from anybody else. Japemizen627 (talk) 01:31, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then perhaps the pageant isn't notable. Not everything needs to be in wikipedia. Sciencefish (talk) 13:13, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Crimea and MOS:FLAGRELEVANCE

@Rc ramz & @Bri Why has the Crimean contestant been placed back as Crimea when she competed under Russia? And in regards to the subnational flags, why have they been removed when other pageant pages have been allowed to keep subnational flags. Perhaps as this issue cannot be resolved the whole 'contestants' section should be deleted. NathalieMendoza (talk) 23:07, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Second question first: Deleting sections because of style non-conformance probably is not acceptable. All articles should follow the Manual of style.

For your first question, we should hear from the other editor who made the change in question? ☆ Bri (talk) 00:10, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your point and questions are completely in conflict, as it seems the issue mentioned above hasn't been resolved. It seems that you are more concerned with proving your beliefs to be right, rather than following Wikipedia's policies, rules, and guidelines, such as the Manual of Style. Your argument lacks substance because you don't seem to understand the basics. If you continue to present your point without valid reasons to support your claims, you can request or gather consensus. From what I see, even before the problem above, you were trying to argue with an experienced editor without realizing the flaws in your position. 🌼𝓡𝓬 𝓡𝓪𝓶𝔃🍁 (talk) 00:35, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
