Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. HirowoWiki (talk | contribs) 00:16, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

The legality of the annexation of crimea is not an "opinion". 2001:99A:2054:E900:ECFB:6F44:22:B6C1 (talk) 06:07, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

The statement violates Wikipedia's policies by using the term "illegal annexation," which reflects a specific political stance rather than a neutral description. Wikipedia requires a Neutral Point of View (NPOV), meaning that articles should present facts impartially and avoid language that indicates bias. The term "illegal" conveys a judgment about the annexation's legality, which can mislead readers and fails to provide a balanced view of the issue. Kalbome22 (talk) 06:30, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

The term illegal is all over the article about the illegal annexation. Your point makes no sense. 2001:99A:2054:E900:ECFB:6F44:22:B6C1 (talk) 06:37, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Also stating the factual legality is not a "political stance", it's just stating the legality. US Political style discourse has clearly invaded Wikipedia editorial styles. 2001:99A:2054:E900:ECFB:6F44:22:B6C1 (talk) 06:39, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

It's true that the term "illegal" might appear frequently in articles about contentious issues. However, Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy requires that language reflect a neutral stance, even if certain terms are commonly used in discussions about the topic. Using terms like "illegal annexation" can suggest a particular judgment and bias, which might influence readers’ perceptions. Instead, Wikipedia aims to describe the situation in a way that presents multiple perspectives without endorsing a specific viewpoint. To adhere to NPOV, it’s important to provide balanced coverage and use neutral language, even if it means adjusting or clarifying terminology that might imply a specific stance.

And last point, the current form of the article misleads readers as it leaves room to interpret that Crimea was somehow legally annexed. 2001:99A:2054:E900:ECFB:6F44:22:B6C1 (talk) 06:40, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

The phrase "illegal annexation" may lead readers to assume the annexation was universally recognized as unlawful without presenting differing viewpoints or the complexity of international legal opinions on the matter. Kalbome22 (talk) 06:50, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
