Requested move 20 March 2022[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Move, as "anti-war" was deemed inappropriate in this context. I think having occupation/occupied together in the title is rather clunky, so I'm going with 2022 protests in Russian-occupied Ukraine as the solution (there aren't any others to differentiate it from).

2022 anti-war protests in Russian-occupied Ukraine2022 anti-occupation protests in Russian-occupied Ukraine – The protests are against the Russian invasion, but not exactly against the war. If Ukrainian troops came and retook the places where these people are protesting, they wouldn't keep protesting now to the Ukrainian government for this war to immediately stop and for Ukraine to stop recapturing land. My point is that these aren't simply "anti-war" protests, but against Russian presence, and we need a better title that reflects this. Super Ψ Dro 08:30, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Strictly speaking, most of the "anti-war" protests in relation to the invasion of Ukraine are literally "anti-invasion", and not opposing Ukrainians' right of self-defence (which is a component of war, though not war crimes), so we could in principle propose renaming all of these articles to "anti-invasion", except for the problem that that's not the common name. But in this case the problem is even clearer and the decision easier: the protests are mainly against the occupation by Russian forces, they are not opposing the possibility of Ukrainian forces throwing out the Russians.

Support. Yep, I can back that. When I created the page, I was struggling to think of the best name for it so just copied existing articles. Buttons0603 (talk) 21:39, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is this over or not[edit]

The infobox claims the protests ended in April 2022. It also claims them to be ongoing. Which one is it? Please change the article to not contradict itself 68.132.201.101 (talk) 22:34, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
