Separate page for Battle of Rubizhne
A separate page should be created for the Battle of Rubizhne, as there has been very heavy and bloody fighting ongoing there that is distinct from general fighting for Sieverodonetsk. History Man1812 (talk) 19:24, 28 April 2022 (UTC)History_Man1812

Ending
The battle has ended with Russian forces seizing the industrial plant in the city. Video proof is provided in the source.

 * There is a issue with the article. In the infobox the battle for Rubizhne is over, but in the article body is said that Popasna was captured by Russia.Mr.User200 (talk) 13:25, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * the other issue is: does this page relate to only Rubizhne, or places in the greater Sieverodonetsk ration of which Rubizhne is a part? There seems to be more activities going on near the Sieverodonetsk city now.
 * Perhaps a new article should be created for battle of Sieverodonetsk, or this article should be renamed from Rubizhne back to Sieverodonetsk. Cononsense (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It exist Battle of Sievierodonetsk (2022).Mr.User200 (talk) 14:26, 12 May 2022 (UTC)


 * This article is about the battle of Rubhizne, but i cant find any RS that justify the battle was win by Russia, so pls change to ongoing, until we found RS DrYisus (talk) 21:32, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree, the article end, keeps mentioning Popasna a but that is not related geographically. That part should be removed or shortened.Mr.User200 (talk) 22:19, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Capitalisation of "battle" in "battle of Rubizhne"
The initial letter of the title is only capitalised in running text if it would normally be capitalised. Per MOS:CAPS: Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization. In English, capitalization is primarily needed for proper names, acronyms, and for the first letter of a sentence. Wikipedia relies on sources to determine what is conventionally capitalized; only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Wikipedia. Per MOS:CAPS, the burden is to show that capitalisation is necessary in accordance with the criteria of MOS:CAPS. MOS:MILTERMS (part of MOS:CAPS) states: Accepted names of wars, battles, revolts, revolutions, rebellions, mutinies, skirmishes, fronts, raids, actions, operations, and so forth are capitalized if they are usually capitalized in sources ... [emphasis added]. The advice at MOS:MILTERMS is substantially the same as the general advice. Looking at news sources here, there appear to be no sources that would lead to a conclusion that this is an accepted name (ie WP:COMMONNAME), let alone that it reaches the high threshold set by MOS:CAPS.

Update symbol on Map for Rubizhne
The page on Battle for Rubizhne clearly states that the battle was in fact won by the russians. Also additional information by ISW has also confirmed the same. Yet the map showing the russian advances has not been updates and Rubizhne is still being shown as a contested city. The map needs to be updated, as in the symbol for Rubizhne should be changed from "contested" to that of "Russian controlled" as of 17th May,2022 RioLiquid (talk) 03:44, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Move some sentences on Popasna to its article
In the "May" section of the article, there are the following two sentences which seems like they belong in the Battle of Popasna article rather than here: 'On 8 May, Ukrainian forces announced that they had withdrawn from Popasna, allowing Russia to fully occupy the town. In the fighting near Popasna, Russian forces reportedly damaged or destroyed every property in the town center. Seriy Hayday, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, claimed that Russian forces were "removing [Popasna] from the map of Luhansk region".' I propose moving them there. --Tydeu (talk) 00:57, 21 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Added template. I would have liked to establish a consensus first per WP:ER, but there does not appear to be enough activity on this talk page to do so, and the change seems uncontroversial enough to not require it. --Tydeu (talk) 00:56, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You should have permission to make this change yourself. Well technically you're 1 edit short, but make a response to this and that's your 10th edit. (Note: I personally don't see why this change is necessary. The sentences might work at that article too, but they seem fine here.) Snowmanonahoe (talk) 18:41, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
