Flag of Israel overlay breaking the page
Someone clearly overlayed an image of the flag of Israel on mobile to break the functionality of the mobile page. I have no clue how to edit it out so I'm asking an experienced Wikipedia editor to fix it. Thanks! 96.224.19.11 (talk) 02:56, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

@Mellk Regarding Akhmad Kadyrov, his description as "former Mufti" is factually correct and provides additional context about his background and influence in Chechnya. Taken directly from his page: "Akhmad-Khadzhi Abdulkhamidovich Kadyrov was a Russian politician and revolutionary who served as Chief Mufti of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria in the 1990s". Secondly, there is a lack of concrete evidence proving Kadyrov's participation in armed conflict to classify him definitively as a rebel.

The term "restored" implies a continuity of Russian control over Chechnya following the USSR's dissolution. Therefore, using "restored" inaccurately suggests a return to a previous state of Russian control which it did not have post USSR, ignoring the de-facto independence Chechnya exercised in those years. A term like "achieved" or "established" would more accurately reflect the reality that Russian control was an establishment of authority rather than a reinstatement of an uninterrupted status quo.

 * Saying "former rebel" is much more clearer that he switched sides. In regards to the term "restored", Chechnya declared independence in late 1991. It was part of the Russian SFSR. See for example: "Though the Republic split from the Chechno-Ingush ASSR and declared its independence from Russia in 1991, it was not until 1994 that the central government attempted to re-establish federal control over the region."

 * In that case writing "former Ichkerian mufti" is appropriate to indicate he switched sides. Ola Tønningsberg (talk) 02:16, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
