quote ( After annexing Russia doubled payments to about 560,000 pensioners and 200,000 public workers (in Crimea).[74] Those raises were cut back in April 2015.[75]

In June 2015 The Economist estimated that the average salary in Crimea was about two-third of the average salary in Russia.[75] According to Russian statistics by March 2015 the inflation in Crimea was 80%.[76]

According to the Crimean authorities local food prices have grown 2.5 times since Russia's annexation.[77] Since then the peninsula now has to import most of its food from Russia.[77] Ukrainian news agency UNIAN claimed in June 2015 that many Crimeans travel to mainland Ukraine to buy groceries.[78] )
one , info should be updated ;
two , since when , unian (and the rest) , expecially since pla$tic mayidan , is a (at least) neutral , objective and professional source ?!

Non-NPOV location maps[edit]

The location maps reflect a non-WP:neutral POV. They show two different non-NPOV international boundaries: the Russia map reflecting Russia’s current claims, the Crimea map its former claims 2014–2022. The Russia map shows the 2022 “annexation” as disputed (with stripes), but the 2014 annexation as not disputed, and there is no reason for the inconsistency. The Crimea map is just Kremlin POV and should not be used.

They should be replaced with up-to-date maps that highlight the territories in question, but otherwise reflect a neutral POV according to policies. International boundaries should be shown as recognized legally, internationally, and by the UN. Russia’s illegal claims should be treated as Russia’s claims. —Michael Z. 16:29, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a typo, are you saying that the 2014 annexation was not disputed? Slatersteven (talk) 16:42, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is the typo and where?

I’m saying that Russia calls parts of Ukraine “annexed” Russian territories, including Crimea, Sevastopol, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk oblasts: so any maps that show Russian “annexation” with stripes should show all of these areas with stripes consistently, and they should show international boundaries neutrally and consistently.

(Russia also claims other places: this week Putin said the Black Sea Coast and Odesa are Russian, and Russia issued Kharkiv Oblast licence plates before being driven out of there, but the map is based on the declared “annexations.”)

(And the two similar location maps should also highlight the subject the same way, either in red or in yellow, but that is merely a failure of consistency and not neutrality.) —Michael Z. 20:13, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh I see, yes all the maps should show the disputed claim. Slatersteven (talk) 11:50, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– The term 'Republic of Crimea' does not have a clear primary topic; therefore, according to WP:NOPRIMARY, the base name should direct the reader to a disambiguation page. To be considered a primary topic, the administrative division of Russia would need to be more likely than all other topics combined to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. However, this is not the case, as the other topics listed on the Republic of Crimea (disambiguation) page are collectively sought more often. Aldij (talk) 16:47, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What other uses are there? Slatersteven (talk) 16:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
see the list directly under Republic of Crimea or Crimean Republic, may refer to: on the Republic of Crimea (disambiguation) page. Aldij (talk) 16:54, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, might be a good move then. Slatersteven (talk) 17:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Republic of Crimea (disambiguation) just WP:CFORKs the Crimea (disambiguation) page; we should consider merging the two. 162 etc. (talk) 18:10, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinion about such a merger. If they were to merge, then Republic of Crimea should redirect to the Crimea (disambiguation) page. Aldij (talk) 18:37, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

support per nom. I support the merge proposal too—blindlynx 21:54, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 15 May 2024 revisited[edit]

I think the earlier page move needs to be reviewed, per WP:DENY AND Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dolyn. The Banner talk 23:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Wheatley2 (talk) 04:41, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
