Biased POV/Bad faith edits

I won't get into an edit war with you over a draft, especially when it'll disrupt everyone else's work. However somehow I don't think your actions are in keeping with the spirit that Wikipedia is supposed to represent. 83.70.234.35 (talk) 20:42, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a work in progress, as it says at the top. There are issues with PoV at present, but we will work on those as the draft phase goes on. Please don't edit war on a draft. RGloucester — ☎ 20:45, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just want to point out the content dispute, but the IP was injecting both unfounded info on American mercenaries that was debunked, and also a big WP:OR note for it explaining how its illegal in international law....entirely without sources. It was a mess.--Львівське (говорити) 21:25, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

The infobox needs to be trimmed. It is taking up way too much of the page. RGloucester — ☎ 20:53, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

i agree, the point form stuff can be the first to go and just make it more concise. It doesnt need to be a timeline in of itself. Also, the groups involved can be trimmed down, we dont need every single police division and extra details in parenthesis. —Львівське (говорити) 21:23, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Take out what you think is appropriate. I'm going to try and see if I can fix missing references. RGloucester — ☎ 21:28, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and consider taking some of the stuff in the infobox and placing it in the body. RGloucester — ☎ 21:30, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To do list

This article is going to need a lot of work. Presently, we need to do the following things:

Eliminate PoV statements.
Fix references that have been broken.
Trim the infobox.
Write background sections for each region.
Organise information.
Copyedit.
Determine an appropriate title.

All assistance is appreciated. RGloucester — ☎ 21:03, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

name

how about Ukraine-Russia crisis? (or something close?) which would include Crimea, military buildup, and foreign relations. —Львівське (говорити) 22:55, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The main focus is fundamentally the 'protests' or 'unrest', so state names are not really WP:CONCISE. RGloucester — ☎ 22:58, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Odessa

Would anyone mind compiling and writing a little background section for Odessa? I've not been able to find anything good. RGloucester — ☎ 23:08, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Parties?

Here is a RS for the foreign mercenaries, quite flimsy I must say. Better sources have carried a claim that there are foreign / US mercenaries.

This draft has already been implemented. It would be better to use the article talk page. RGloucester — ☎ 00:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
