Partially Recognized?
[edit]Not sure why defunct NKR(artsakh) is considered partially recognized, it was never recognized by any member of UN 109.205.160.172 (talk) 05:15, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- Some unrecognised and partially recognised states had done so, including Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Various sub-national governments, including several U.S. states, had issued calls for recognition of Artsakh by their national governments. Also it was a member of the Community for Democracy and Rights of Nations. Slatersteven (talk) 09:17, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

[edit]As shown in the Mali war article, Wagner left Mali around June-July of this year (though the Africa Corps remains). Remikipedia (talk) 07:33, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 7 April 2026
[edit] | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Remove "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamist_insurgency_in_Burkina_Faso" from the "Battles and wars" infobox as there is no evidence of Wagner soliders ever being in Burkina Faso. Traore brought in the Bear Brigade PMC to train security units for him back in 2024, they were there for a couple of months before leaving. Trackstarx (talk) 16:21, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
Done on the basis that this is uncited and the "Possible activities" section doesn't confirm this information, and other activities in this section are also not included in the infobox. If another editor disagrees with this, feel free to revert. Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 02:50, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
"state funded"
[edit]Wouldn't this just be considered as state employed? Considering that other similar companies were heavily funded (such as Academi) by their perspective states, this should be changed accordingly PhilovGraves (talk) 15:41, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
