Area edit

Just a random geography fan, I've reverted your edits since the BBC country profile you added doesn't contain the area of DPR. Please feel free to add the area back with proper sourcing. Alaexis¿question? 08:23, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Someone please add back the flag, coat of arms and anthem. Why remove them for? 171.244.185.182 (talk) 13:26, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: It seems that the page had manual of style issues. Not reverting the edits. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 14:23, 30 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Durranistan: As said by ABG, it is a MOS problem, but also a sourcing problem. If you use a picture to establish that the flag is still in use, that’s WP:OR. And if the picture is two years old, you can’t establish it’s use for for 2024. Rsk6400 (talk) 15:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Add the flag back edit

Every federal subject of the Russian Federation has a flag and coat of arms. This is reflected in the Luhansk People's Republic, Republic of Crimea (Russia), Russian occupation of Kherson Oblast, Russian occupation of Zaporizhzhia Oblast pages.

Additionally, since User:Rsk6400 claims that there is no use of the flag in 2024, here is the link of the website of the Head of the Donetsk People's Republic: https://denis-pushilin.ru/. This website is regularly updated with news of government business and clearly displays the usage of the flag and coat of arms.

Thereby, these edits should be reversed immediately. Mysteriousgadfly (talk) 20:35, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

That looks like a private website. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 21:03, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is the official website of the Government of the DPR. It is regularly updated and features the flag and coat of arms, specifically in reporting of recent events.
The same address is verified by the Library of Congress. [[2]]
I don't understand what User:Rsk6400's issue is with the flag and coat of arms. Other pages regarding the 4 disputed regions on Wikipedia have flags and coat of arms, just as every federal subject does. The DPR did not magically cease to use their government's symbols, as evidenced by all of the links that I have posted. Mysteriousgadfly (talk) 23:02, 4 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
RS describe the "DPR" as a "Mafia-like" structure (Klaus Gestwa) or use similar terms. Meaning, anything "official" is still not reliable. Also, you might want to read MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE. Rsk6400 (talk) 04:58, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have restored the items per the MOS referenced, with the two items under discussion being the likely to be seen at a glance and likely expected by readers. Traditionally we have had such information for all polities that have them, the recent exception from RfC was for micronations, and this is not one of those. CMD (talk) 05:11, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
