Talk:Prelude to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Merger proposal
I propose merging Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (prelude) into this article. There is basically nothing in the timeline that isn't already in this article, save a couple of specific dates, and it's actually less detailed and comprehensive than this article, which definitely isn't what one wants from a timeline article. Per WP:REDUNDANTFORK, " redundant or conflicting articles [...] are to be avoided", and "If the content fork was unjustified, the more recent article should be merged back into the main article."

 * I don’t think it’s redundant in principle, because timelines, lists, and encyclopedic articles are unique forms that present information differently. They have intrinsic qualities that render them all valid content.
 * This timeline is pretty short and could be part of the main article. What potential does it have for expansion? If none, then I’d say merge. If a lot, then no merge. —Michael Z. 23:59, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This is a good point, and one I had not considered. It can definitely be expanded. I'm gonna withdraw the proposal. HappyWith (talk) 12:42, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Main Map of the article
The article's main map is not accurate. For the time period that the article talks about, Finland was not a participant of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 02:10, 16 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Agreed. There must be a map on Commons of the alliance as of 2021. HappyWith (talk) 15:10, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * . I uploaded a replacement map that is just the older version of the map from before Finland joined. Hopefully I did the copyright stuff right, but this should work. HappyWith (talk) 13:03, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Wrong Link
Under: 'Initial Tensions (March-April 2021)'- First Russian Military Buildup - The third paragraph down

The link for Defender Europe links to an article about the Reorganization plan of United States Army, rather than the Defender-Europe 21 NATO exercise. Is this correct and/or or can someone fix this? 2601:602:867E:DCA0:6CE8:E3C5:A353:4B0D (talk) 04:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Fixed the link, thanks for the head's up! :) Dan the Animator 20:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
