Mistake in religious breakdown pie chart
The colors used in the legend is mismatched with the colors shown on the pie chart. 14.139.176.131 (talk) 19:37, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

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)


 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg 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)
 * 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)

Add the flag back
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)
 * That looks like a private website. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 21:03, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * []
 * 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. []
 * 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)
 * 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)
 * 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)

Delete territorial control map
The territorial control map should be deleted as this article is about an entity that exists under Russian law, not about the military situation on the territory of the DPR. The territorial control vs. claimed territory distinction can be made by using a lighter shade of red on the map of the Russian federal subjects just below the current territorial control map.

If the territorial control map is to remain on this article, then it would make sense to add such a map for Jammu and Kashmir, Taiwan, and the Gaza Strip. Mysteriousgadfly (talk) 04:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No, there is a big difference. This is territory militarily by one side during an active war. North8000 (talk) 13:28, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
