Russian control over luhansk is 100℅

in the infobox it says russia has occupied 98.5℅, which is outdated, reuters reported one week ago that luhansk is entirely under russian occupation https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-takes-full-control-ukraines-luhansk-region-russian-backed-official-says-2025-07-01/ 94.187.14.179 (talk) 08:38, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Territorial changes in infobox

Per WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE this should be a simple summary of key points. Multiple prose like dot-points are not well suited to the infobox. This represents way too much detail for the infobox. I suggest pruning to just the first of these. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:59, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, percentages seem sufficient. If anything, one more figure regarding the percentage of Russian control in Kharkiv region could be added to make up in a way for the removal of the second bullet. SaintPaulOfTarsus (talk) (contributions) 05:38, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead then. Cinderella157 (talk) 03:21, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done In the apparent absence of any reliable sources publishing the percentage of the Kharkiv region under Russian control, I took the word "fragments" from the pre existing sources, though this phrasing is not quite encyclopedic and not entirely to my liking.

Eastern front of the Russo-Ukrainian war (2022–present) → Eastern front of the Russo-Ukrainian war – The topic of this article is clearly the most notable eastern front of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Therefore, the article is the WP:PRITOP of its base title and should be moved to that title. Because the status quo creates a WP:MISPLACED situation that violates WP:ATDIS, those who oppose this move should propose an alternative fate for the "Eastern front of the Russo-Ukrainian war" title. –Gluonz^{talk contribs} 17:10, 26 October 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

Oppose – The parenthetical is not disambiguation, it is an integral part of the article title. This article is a subpage of Russo-Ukrainian war (2022–present), and therefore must follow the parent article per WP:CONSISTENT. The 'base title' did not exist until you created it. Russo-Ukrainian war is a completely separate article. Yours, &c. RGloucester — ☎ 22:06, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
