Talk:Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine/Archive 2

Article readability
I've changed the days from heading to bold in an attempt to try to improve the article readability. I also had lowered the headings of the months a level, but later realized that makes them not collapsible on mobile devices, so I reverted the change. Without splitting the article, the only thing left is to go day by day removing superfluous information. —AdrianHObradors (talk) 12:57, 3 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Rightly reverted by CAPTAIN JTK, with comment: «Restored level of day-wise section headings since levelling them down greatly hinders navigation and editing». --Dan Harkless (talk) 07:04, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Cyber != Cybersecurity
On June 2 there's a line about the US Cyber Command doing "cyber" work in support of Ukraine. This just mean computer work, when in fact the work they're doing is "cybersecurity" work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:110:8068:9:7112:D4F4:7C6B:4C8C (talk) 14:42, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Edit request: Add "This article may be biased towards certain viewpoints" under Multiple issues
The article has more lines about Russian advances and events that can be seen as beneficial to Russia than lines about Ukraine's advances. It's especially obvious starting around May. 49.144.204.127 (talk) 05:17, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

This needs to be significantly softened. The Goldschmidt article calls it an "allegation [...] rebutted by multiple sources", and the ref given here doesn't so much say that this happened, outside of the headline, but rather that there exists a tweet that says so.

 * And what does this source show? Dawsongfg (talk) 03:53, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

29 June - Russian sources
Regarding capture of Lysychansk - provided sources are kinda unreliable in my opinion. As a person which knows russian language, those sites are basically "no-names" and are only reposting informations from RIA, TASS and other RF services. Not mentioning linked tweet which is clearly pro-russian. Someone should verify it, as no other pro-western or neutral source has even replied to those claims. 150.254.61.175 (talk) 18:27, 30 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Um, BBC is a reliable source (as long as it isn't the Russian one), no? Dawsongfg (talk) 15:01, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Discussion on setting a time to split the article.
This isn't a discussion to split the article now, moreover when we should split it, like setting an actual time to split this article, my reasonings for this discussion is as follows:


 * 1) The current size of this article is 357,927 bytes, or about 350 kilobytes. In certain computers or other devices the sheer size of this article could cause one's device to crash or the page will simply not load. It shouldn't take a genius to realise that that is an inherently bad thing, especially on an article with this scale of importance. This was my primary concern when I initially proposed a split back in April.
 * 2) In a previous discussion as to whether or not to split the article, an editor pointed out that ~1000 sources was about as much an article could handle, this article is already at nearly 600 sources.
 * 3) This also isn't an issue of navigation, a template could be easily whipped up to allow people to access the more recent events that are on a separate page. you know kinda like those album infoboxes that have or something at the bottom, but at the top of the page. I know it's hard to visualise but I'm sure it's easy to make.

Therefore, I'm proposing an August|September split and I would very much like you to consider this. I have chosen these months as they are particularly far away from now (so therefore no one can pull out the politicising card), both are border months in different seasons and September is really easy to group with October, November and so forth, even in other languages.

I would like to stress again that this is not a discussion to split the article now, rather it is to set a time where this article can be split to allow a more efficient wiki, while also making sure navigability is accounted for.

I have been calling for a split since Mid-April, it's now Mid-June, if we don't agree to something soon this article could break. so I would like you all to discuss this please, thank you

P.S. I'm sorry if my English has been hard to understand, I am a native speaker though.

 * That's way too short. Maybe every six months? Dawsongfg (talk) 14:57, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Currently support the general idea but Oppose the proposed date Mid-late July would be better. Then again all somebody needs to do is just look for the day they're looking for.. It just depends on what happens. Dawsongfg (talk) 05:03, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

 * As a Russian conspiracy theory this one is also pretty stupid. Does Russia think that telling its troops that they are fighting against artificially boosted soldiers will improve their morale?  Maybe this story is being spread by Russians who are secretly against the war.  I guess that would be a meta conspiracy theory. John Sauter (talk) 15:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Yes, and one item is there now. But Wikipedia is restricted to using sourced and cited material, and not every notable thing that happens in war is identified to the single-particular-day organizational approach used by this list article.  Sometimes, we'll have a source that only identifies a time range, such as "...when at some point in early summer, Ukrainian artillery ran completely of its old Soviet munition."

As far as I can tell from the Goldschmidt article and the various refs, the available information is way too murky to support this statement. There's consensus that Goldschmidt left Russia at some point, and that he's been voicing criticism at some point. But as for how those things relate to each other, there's just a bunch of claims and counterclaims and no-comments.

I can't really think of a way to salvage the statement. At one extreme, the easiest solution would be to make it "may have fled", but that's about as unencyclopedic as one can get. At the other extreme, one could plug in the pertinent part of the Goldschmidt article in full - but considering that the linkage to the subject of this article may actually be marginal to none, that rather loses the thread.

Maybe best to just take it out altogether, for the time being?

Diplomatic Context
Sorry, I don't know how editing works with semi-protected pages, but I think it would be helpful to add the diplomatic context to the outset.

08/02/2022 - French President Emmanuel Macron announced that Putin had assured him that he would not escalate the situation in Ukraine. (https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-russia-diplomacy-emmanuel-macron-europe-9dd7eb560d26a81306604dcb1c81bddb) 18/02/2022 - US President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House that he was convinced the Putin had decided to invade Ukraine. (https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/biden-ukraine-russia-invasion-intelligence/) 20/02/2022 - Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov claimed on US television, "There is no invasion and there is [sic] no such plans... We don't threaten anyone." (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-ukraine-ambassador-anatoly-antonov-no-such-plans-invasion-face-the-nation/). SamuelDrury (talk) 14:39, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Re the warnings on this article
An answer to these problems - arriving on this page I expected to see a chronology - that's a good idea - but it needs to have single line summaries I think, not detail. Citations are there for a purpose and a reader can go to those. Many of the events have their own articles, as I am finding, some titled after place names. This page could be a central index - it's already doing that but a decision needs to be arrived at about a better format. I've just made a link to it from the main article. Or what I think of as the main article.. Thelisteninghand (talk) 22:24, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

To boldly split infinitives where no infinitives have been split before.
Noob user here. A certain editor of this page (no names mentioned, I appreciate the effort taken to add content, regardless) has an annoying habit of splitting infinitives when starting sentences.

The gif that doesn't keep on giffing
Looking at the details page for the main timeline map animation, there is some sort of technical hurdle for the size of animated previews. On my mobile device, the image does not animate at all and only ever shows one frame - the state of affairs (as it were) on the outbreak of the invasion - it's not informative at all. May I propose that we put it on a serious diet so that only the most salient changes are reflected? I am also of the opinion that only a broad outline of the territorial situation at each point is necessary and that finer detail is superfluous. Alternatively, perhaps the last (most current) frame could be placed as the first frame, so that if only one frame is displayed, it shows the current situation.

Olaf Scholz said, not Putin apparently
At the 14 September 2022 part, it states: "Putin told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that he did not believe that the invasion of Ukraine was a mistake. [needs context]." Look up at many sources and you'll see it appears he didn't but Olaf did. So it's not the same as saying Putin said it, even though Olaf saw it pretty much seemed that Putin didn't see invading Ukraine as a mistake. Therefore it's accurate to say Olaf said, hope that makes sense.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/14/scholz-putin-does-not-believe-he-made-a-mistake-invading-ukraine

''Vladimir Putin seems to believe he did not commit a mistake by launching an invasion of Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday after a 90-minute-long telephone call with the Russian president. “Sadly, I cannot tell you that the impression has grown that it was a mistake to begin this war,” Scholz told journalists a day after his exchange with Putin."''

Robert Jenrick should be more accurately described.

Deletion of the timeline

 * This really seems like sabotage. I check the timeline here on this page on a very regular basis, and suddenly not only is it gone, but also finding the page is more difficult.

The section with the latest events should be linked on the main article
The main article 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine should link to the latest events Timeline of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine: phase 3 instead of this page. 81.225.32.185 (talk) 22:00, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Haha, the new October 6th update redirected the words "russian forces" to the wehrmacht article. Thanks for the laugh but this is obviously not true! Ocemccool (talk) 18:13, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Opinions of world leaders and other authority figures on this or that.
I noticed a recent revert of a revert (re Biden's statement about the world being closest to nuclear war in 60 years), citing an "unexplained removal". Previously I have removed a report on the Pope's opinion on arms sales to Ukraine myself.

My take is that these things do not necessarily lack notability, but aren't notable in the context of the timeline of the invasion, and am tempted to revert it once more. In particular, including Biden's statement strikes me as second-hand crystal-balling and would have no relevance on the invasion whether he said it or not.

Another proposal to split this article
The most recent discussion on splitting that I could find was in June–July, here; it seemed to have consensus to split but not much on where to split. We're now at a readable prose size of 140 kB, so I'd like to again propose splitting this page (it clearly needs to be). I think it would be best to split it the same way that is split: into two phases, 24 February – 7 April and 8 April – present (prelude/buildup would stay here). This would make for better consistency with that article, and enable the addition of section hatnotes on that page linking to the timeline pages for each section. By my quick scan, they are also at about the same size. If there is consensus on 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine to add another phase, then we would likely split again (e.g., if the current Ukrainian counteroffensive was successful and considerably changed the state of the war, that would probably lead to a "third phase"). Is this proposal acceptable? If this works, what should the split articles be called (date ranges or first/second phase)? Tol (talk &#124; contribs) @ 19:36, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment please nobody bring up the idea that this split might be "politically motivated", please. Great Mercian (talk) 20:33, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Splitting
Alright; nobody's opposed this, and it's been independently proposed in another section (§ Size above, which I've merged into this section), so I'm going to go ahead and split this when I can find time. Tol (talk &#124; contribs) @ 03:36, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Partial Mobilizations

All Quiet on the Western Front
Something notable doesn't occur each and every day. This is a matter of scale –"Im Westen nichts Neues" (literally "All quiet in the West") in the official communiques is factual given their granularity and focus. Too, the tempo of operations slows down, there's regrouping and the like, and some events only become the precursors of monumental events in retrospect. If you want to fill in a day, google it. It's not rocket science. As for the death of Queen Elizabeth II, there are tons of specialist media which carry on. https://smallwarsjournal.com, https://the-american-catholic.com/2022/09/09/ukraine-war-analysis-september-8-2022/, https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/8/russia-ukraine-war-list-of-key-events-day-197, etc. Get some. kencf0618 (talk) 14:15, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Al Mayadeen
Currently the October 10 section uses Al Mayadeen English as a source. However, that outlet has a strong pro-Russian slant and has previously parroted anti-Ukrainian propaganda from the Kremlin. Should we allow sources like that on this page?

Al-Mayadeen also (in the wake of the Mahsa Amini protests) ran an editorial calling the hijab a “working-class symbol against imperialism”, so it definitely seems to have an anti-Western and “Islamo-leftist” bias that colors everything it puts out. That’s why I think maybe it shouldn’t be allowed as a source on Wikipedia at all. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:3C07 (talk) 20:06, 11 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Deciding whether or not a particular source is reliable is a judgement call. In this case, since the report is about an official statement by the government of Belarus, and there is a second reference which confirms the report, I am willing to regard Al-Mayadeen as a reliable source.  John Sauter (talk) 21:38, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Al Mayadeen isn't The Daily Mail, and an editorial stance is also a given fact. Standard Wikipedia procedures apply. kencf0618 (talk) 14:25, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Editor mistake - referenced article says the opposite than the latest paragraph "5 November"
change:

5 November
President Putin has signed a decree that allows people convicted of serious crimes to be mobilised into the Russian army. The exemption does not include people convicted of sex crimes involving minors and crimes against the state such as treason, spying or terrorism. This could allow "hundreds of thousands" of people to be mobilised.

to:

5 November
President Putin has signed a decree that allows people convicted of serious crimes to be mobilised into the Russian army. An exemption includes people convicted of sex crimes involving minors and crimes against the state such as treason, spying or terrorism.

reason:

The referenced article says the opposite of what is written the paragraph. 2A02:A469:2B59:1:7B48:D4DA:FF3C:A31B (talk) 21:30, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

clarified instead: In the article and the reference "exempt" means exempt from the new decree. That is, people convicted of sex crimes involving minors and crimes against the state still cannot be mobilised. Thus, the original language is correct, though it could perhaps be clearer. 22:26, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

I have updated the language, in an attempt to make clear who can and who cannot be mobilised. 23:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

 * While this transcript is interesting, I do not think a reference to it belongs in this article, since Wikisource is not a reliable source.

John Sauter (talk) 15:17, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Missile strikes
Do we need individual paragraphs for every single missile strike that happens? it's sort of bloating the page with the same "Russia launched missiles at Ukraine" "Ukraine claimed to have shot down 40 of 60 Russian missiles fired at Kyiv". at some point it's going to become too much, I'd argue about 50% of this page is missile strikes.

'KYIV, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Ukraine's steel production fell by 70.7% in 2022 to 6.26 million tonnes because of Russia's invasion and the destruction of leading steel plants, the steel producers union said on Tuesday.'

This is talking about a year long drop in steel and the article was released on 10 January, therefore it isn't specific to that date. The steel didn't drop 70% in one day, therefore I believe this should be removed.

This a "teach to fish" vs "providing fish" contribution, ya know...

Note bene:
 * - CCN is not type-A enough for me
 * - CCN has a text-only 'lite' site: https://lite.cnn.com/en
 * - GUARDIAN pagination is relative to the day of the search
 * - No paywall sites

`curl` or `wget` command line utilities may be used in script "one-liners", a baby browser


 * curl https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-1-16-23/index.html > Diary-Ukraine-2023-01-24.html


 * - you type curl, copy/paste the URL, you type the > Dia..., you press ENTER, you open the file Dia..

Advance usage
 * - write a one line script to construct the URL on the fly then feed that to the curl command
 * - per day manual or scheduled usage adding formatted dates as follows:


 * $(date +%Y-%m-%d)    1999-01-03
 * $(date +%Y-%-m-%-d)  1999-1-3
 * $(date +%-m-%-d-%Y)  1-3-1999 CNN-ish
 * $(date +%A-%B-%-d-%Y) Sunday-January-3-1999 FORBES-ish


 * swap dashes for slashes or spaces as needed - %Y/%m/%d


 * thousands of mix-n-matches with a dozen other "special" characters (directives)

YMMV

Is there a lack of interest? The final few addtions are a few words each...

IMHO

The main page should have a 3" tall font - TIMELINE blinking emoji'd link

The link should go to a page with infinite expansion in mind (wars have been in progress for thousands of years, so for).


 * CENTURY
 * DECADE
 * YEAR
 * MONTH

List all of each in columns and rows as needed. Need only link MONTH to a separate page of all DAYS, maybe with a sub-title word or two:


 * March 7th, 2033
 * DAY 3,696 - Pay to play 7 day Tough Mudder opens: https://toughmudder.com/

 * Wondering if aljazeera.com got approval from russia re: russia-ukraine-war 149.10.151.92 (talk) 22:30, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ... blinking emoji'd link
 * add sound and animation too 149.10.151.92 (talk) 22:34, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ppps
 * Advance usage
 * THEGUARDIAN - curl script may be the exact same text with each usage every other day:
 * curl https://www.theguardian.com/world/ukraine?page=1 > Guardian-Latest.html
 * Guardian-Latest.html will contain the last two days of updates ready to launch in your browser.
 * Sad to say the the lite.cnn.com site has no direct URL relation to the cnn.com site and appears not to carry all of the cnn.com articles. Here is a Mike Pence article URL:
 * https://lite.cnn.com/en/article/h_2b86ff15c87d2bb8ac5fdf53c283c00e
 * They appear to HASH the original URL, which is 99.999999% (six sigma) sure done programmatically, thus finding the HASH function and presuming no randomness the one-liner script for lite.cnn.com might work:
 * curl https://lite.cnn.com/en/article/h_$(hash-it "europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-1-22-23-intl/index.html")
 * this may be considered off topic... 149.10.151.92 (talk) 23:06, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 28 January 2023
Merge the entries after 12 November 2023 into the Phase 4 page. 2601:801:300:2D90:CD44:A756:FAA5:D4D9 (talk) 13:35, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

This request is rejected because it is not in the proper form. The merge of the phase 3 and phase 4 pages will be done when consensus is reached on the fate of the phase 4 page. John Sauter (talk) 13:59, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
