Outstanding sources! Avica1998 (talk) 05:57, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will see if I can help. You have done an excellent job on this page. Avica1998 (talk) 21:29, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

^: 587, ^: 609 and ^: 599 do not seem to be properly formatted

These are page numbers in the referred book. I also wish that they were in the footnote itself, but not sure how to do that. 19:42, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Ethnically Russian

Why is the article emphasizing the fact that Crimea was overwhelmingly Russian? Is the article created for the purpose to question what was settled back in 1991 when the Soviet Union was dissolved? What is the real purpose of the article? To raise some justification for the war of aggression? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 00:13, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to the official Soviet census of 1989, Russians in Crimea constituted 67% which is about two thirds, however the article wants to use word overwhelming. Why? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 00:23, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sources on subject existence

I checked a few sources and can't find any actually confirming the existence of the article subject. Catching up with 'Europe'? Constitutional Debates on the Territorial-Administrative Model in Independent Ukraine: Regional & Federal Studies: Vol 12, No 2 (tandfonline.com) - nothing. The Crimea Conundrum: The Tug of War Between Russia and Ukraine on the Questions of Autonomy and Self-Determination on JSTOR - nothing. Can somebody please provide quotes?

Infobox

Greetings @Flemmish Nietzsche, I'm not sure it's correct to show an infobox saying some entity ("Republic of Crimea") has existed from 1992 to 1995, given we have no sources for that. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 18:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well the 24+ sources in this article do exist; as I said in my edit summary, if you are saying that this entity from 1992 to 1995 did not exist, then it would be best to bring this article to AfD rather than having a body and title which states it did exist, while having an infobox saying it didn't. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 18:42, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's address the question above. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 19:08, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's not. Just changing the infobox to state the entity did not exist while not challenging the existence of this article in entirety is a waste of time. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 19:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's not
That means there is no argument supporting the inclusion of the misleading infobox and it should be removed. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 19:30, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why do believe the infobox to be more "misleading" than the rest? If stating in the infobox that this entity, the Republic of Crimea, existed from 1992–1995, is misleading, then why is the article's title not by that logic "misleading"? Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 19:34, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about the whole article. Judging by the discussion above - Talk:Republic of Crimea (1992–1995)#Sources on subject existence - you are right. There are no sources for it. Either way, the infobox should go. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 19:53, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
