message: I think this article has been hijacked for political means. In my opinion it would be safer to lock the article on an earlier version until passions sooth over Ukraine.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.43.58 (talk) 10:49, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lock request 

message: Having a couple unarmed officers for general information exchange and training shouldn't really count. Or does someone have hard evidence of people with Russian insignia marching around on a base there? Bodyguard/police types shouldn't be counted.

replies: text: Any of your personal thoughts on the matter are  precisely that: your personal point of view. Wikipedia relies of reliable secondary sources, not original research. There are reliable sources attesting to the fact that the base and contract are current. There are no reliable sources for what constitutes the contracting of the use of a base as being requisite time spans or any other factors either IP has discussed. Unless you have reliable sources stating that it is not an RF base, it is a base. It's hardly unique that any nation-state's foreign territory bases be up for re-entering agreements at any point in time... in fact, 'in perpetuity' agreements are the exception to the rule, not the rule. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:07, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

text: This is your personal reading. Russia uses it. Period. Regardless legalese. However if you find the exact text of the agreement, this will be very useful for the article to clarify the issue. - üser:Altenmann >t 04:47, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Why is Vietnam on the list?

message: This article is a joke if it recognizes Transdniestr, South Ossetia, and Abkhazia as sovereign countries. The overwhelming majority of the world recognizes them as Moldovan, Georgian and Georgian. ALL UN member states recognize Transdniestr as Moldovan. All but four recognize South Osettia as Georgian. All but four recognize Abkhazia as Georgian.--108.31.150.218 (talk) 12:35, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I see what's happened, . The map depicting Crimea as a disputed territory was supplanted without the crosshatched "disputed territory" identifier and legend stating that it is de facto administered by the RF, and that the RF's claims are not internationally recognised. Thanks for picking up on it. The map stays out as WP:POV and original research with no discussions... --Iryna Harpy (talk) 10:19, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  International Recognition 

message: I don't consider creating a subheader for Crimea here to be either WP:NPOV or useful for the reader outside of WP:RECENTISM and high profile media attention. The current bases list, as stands, already depicts a few other disputed territories in a neutral manner. Creating a separate subheader is potentially misleading for the reader as, by inference, it suggests that other disputed territories are not disputed or 'dispute worthy' as Crimea. Disputed territories are disputed territories. Parsing them as if they are somehow different in terms of the level of 'disputed' status is WP:OR. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:52, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Separate subheader for Crimea 

message: I've removed the RF bases map as WP:OR until issue of disputed territories being designated in another colour is addressed at Wiki Commons. As is noted on the file's talk page, Crimea is not internationally recognised as a territory of the Russian Federation, any more than Transnistria, Abkhazia, or South Ossetia. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:03, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fine as a starting point for creating a WP:RS map, but you've restored it without any amendments to the depictions of disputed territory. Approximate claimed territories need to be added first, then discussed here (on this talk page) as to potential tweaks and clearest methods of depiction for the reader to be able to comprehend. Anyone can create maps on Wiki Commons, but they must pass the WP:NOR and WP:RS Wikipedia demands of its sourcing. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:06, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Why does the article say "partially recognised Transnistria separatist region"? No UN member recognizes it. --63.243.196.34 (talk) 00:13, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed. I've gone WP:BOLD and changed the wording to reflect that Transnistria is unrecognised by any sovereign states. I've also tagged the content for a reference and clarification regarding what "peacekeeping" in a pro-Russian separatist state actually means. It smacks of WP:NOR/WP:SYNTH. If any other editors consider the content to be in need of better qualification, please table the references and suggestion for content on the talk page here. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 02:49, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
