So I saw this image on this article and it suspiciously closely resembles a moment from the youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_GCMgHeZtI, which I found because the author of this video was one I earlier liked (and watched almost all of his videos). Are Youtube videos even allowed as sources for images? Waited2seconds (talk) 07:52, 12 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

There are too many flags in the military conflict info box we should remove them. Vasily1926 (talk) 17:15, 9 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Several paragraphs are wholly or mostly unsourced. Entire sections of the article are also wholly unsourced. Yue🌙 (talk) 05:44, 19 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
