In editing the article for [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]], the military strategy currently in progress is being described as an invasion of [[Eastern Ukraine]] with 4 battle groups, currently involved in besieging major cities which are within 100-200km of the Russian border inside Ukraine. This appears to be an [[encirclement]] strategy of Eastern Ukraine, however, none of the news sources are calling it an encirclement. Do any of the military sciences editors here at Wikipedia know what is the preferred description for this type of border invasion: using four battle groups to besiege major cities close to the invaded border before continuing military operations against the targeted nation. It looks like an encirclement of Eastern Ukraine, though news sources are not using this language. [[User:ErnestKrause|ErnestKrause]] ([[User talk:ErnestKrause|talk]]) 14:19, 25 March 2022 (UTC) |

Merge discussion for 12th Indiana
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/40px-Information.svg.png)
An editor has requested for 12th Indiana Infantry Regiment (3 years) to be merged into 12th Indiana Infantry Regiment. Since you had some involvement with 12th Indiana Infantry Regiment (3 years) or 12th Indiana Infantry Regiment, you might want to participate in the merger discussion (if you have not already done so).
Proposed splitting the article "Military academies in Russia"
I suggest to split the article "Military academies in Russia". The detailed description is here Talk:Military academies in Russia#Proposed splitting article into three separate articles. K8M8S8 (talk) 21:52, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

List of Russian military-focused secondary schools
The military warrant officer schools are educational institutions conducting the training career warrant officer programmes. Education acquired at such schools is vocational military education (level 4 according ISCED). The duration of studies is 2 years and 6-10 months. Graduates of these schools are assigned the military rank of praporshchik/michman.
At the moment, there are no separate warrant officer schools in Russia. The training warrant officer programmes are conducted by military educational institutions which also offer commissioning programmes.

Education acquired at such schools is higher military education (level 6 according ISCED). These programmes are named specialitet (Russian: специалитет) and take 5 years. Graduates of commissioning schools are assigned the military rank of lieutenant.
The commissioning schools are the first (tactical) level of officer training. Their graduates are appointed as platoon/company commanders and at equivalent positions. After several years of active duty service they can entry military post-commissioning schools for further education.
At the moment, some commissioning schools also conduct warrant officer programmes.

Armor-piercing ammunition
This article is a train wreck. There are almost zero citations, numerous errors, half facts, and other fun and exciting prizes. It might be best to put it on a speedy delete list. Failing that, perhaps we can put a team together to overhaul the article. I might also suggest merging this into another article. Tirronan (talk) 01:51, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Tirronan: what page would you suggest merging Armor-piercing ammunition into? Also, have you considered making any improvements to the page yourself? You suggested you would do just that back in 2019 on the article talk. Your comments also indicate you may have some subject-matter expertise on this topic, along with access to relevant reliable sources, so any changes you make would likely be a good way to get the ball rolling towards improvement. (jmho) Cheers - wolf 17:51, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- I do in fact know something about it. Mind you that a real expert is going to be found at the Yuma testing range or the Aberdeen facility. I'd prefer that someone collaborate with me to help with some of the research if that is possible. Otherwise, I am coming across as a solo effort.Tirronan (talk) 06:39, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Tirronan: It's usually (but not always) nice to have help, but if you have an interest in improving an article, don't let appearances get in the way. If no one steps up to offer assistance, feel free to work on the article anyway.
The only thing that really matters is that changes to content are an imrpovement, that they are properly sourced, and that they don't otherwise violate any wiki-rules, eg: copyright, etc. Cheers - wolf 19:04, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- Aye then. Tirronan (talk) 04:46, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Additional standard terms for parameter result in infobox Military conflict
In the Battle of Berezina the result within Infobox Military conflict says: "Inconclusive (See the Aftermath Section)". The Aftermath section says: "Napoleon was in a position to claim a strategic victory." Strategic victory says: "A strategic victory is a victory that brings long-term advantage to the victor and disturbs the enemy's ability to wage a war." The Documentation of Infobox Military conflict says: "Result: The term used is for the "immediate" outcome of the "subject" conflict" and "Omit this parameter altogether rather than engage in speculation about which side won or by how much."
All this shows that the term "victory" as a result does not help in complex campaigns. I suggest adding to the documentation of Infobox military conflict for the parameter Result three new terms: "X advance", "X retreat" and "X standstill". The outcome of the Battle of Berezina will be:
French retreat
Russian advance.
The outcome of the even more complex Battle of Maloyaroslavets will be instead of "See Aftermath":
French standstill
Russian retreat.

- There are some battles and even wars that have the same issue. Jutland quickly comes to mind. As does The War of 1812. Berezina and come to think on it The Battle of Wavre are particularly thorny. Oh, and we have the Battle of Borodino as well. We need a process that is different from the way that is not working right now. Really complex battles and wars don't always fit our way of doing things. It ends up with endless squabbling without real answers. I'm going to suggest that such articles be worked over by designated teams and locked.Tirronan (talk) 06:56, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- No, never, this is a recipie for endless hair splitting, see aftermath is a far better way of dealing with the subtleties, the solution is to write a better aftermath section. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 07:07, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed. If the result is sufficiently complex that neither side can be unambiguously called a "victor" then the solution is not to cram more and more information into an infobox but to omit the argument or, as an alternative, to refer to a section of the prose that describes the outcome. As per MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE:
[T]he purpose of an infobox [is] to summarize [..] key facts that appear in the article[.] The less information [an infobox] contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance.
Adding additional qualifiers would also result in a bunch of (in my view rather pointless) infighting regarding which qualifier to use for any specific battle where a few sources describe it as a "pyrrhic victory for A", others call it a "tactical victory for A", a few more use "strategic victory for B" and the rest do not use any specific modifiers. Ljleppan (talk) 07:19, 22 March 2022 (UTC) - Agree per Keith-264 and Ljleppan. Cinderella157 (talk) 10:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- Strong agreement here as well. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 10:54, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed, point closed. I will look into the aftermath section. Ruedi33a (talk) 16:29, 22 March 2022 (UTC) @A. C. Santacruz:

Citations button question
The citations button in the edit page has disappeared and I can't find it in the preferences page. I had a look in preferences and changed a couple of things before noticing that it had gone but nothing that was connected. Can anyone shed light on this pls? Thanks Keith-264 (talk) 13:25, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Keith-264: Just an fyi, but the cite button is still present in my edit window. Have you considered restoring your preferences to default? Cheers - wolf 18:04, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

18th-century Spain in infoboxes
Hi all, just wanted to leave a courtesy notification that I changed a few links in conflict infoboxes for 18th-century Spain from Enlightenment in Spain to History of Spain (1700–1810), but I don't know how widespread this practice was, and only looked at the members of Category:Naval battles of the American Revolutionary War involving Spain. Some of those linked to Bourbon Spain, which redirects to the 1700–1810 article. I thought it was strange that we'd link to an article about intellectual and scientific development—even if it's a common way of referring to that time period—in a historical or military context. A clue was that some of these infoboxes had linked to Enlightenment Spain (not in Spain), which better captures the meaning of "Enlightenment-era Spain".
Given the inconsistency I came across, I didn't think I was going against any solid consensus, but just in case. Beyond that one category, I'm not sure what the linking looks like. Feel free to ping me if needed. --BDD (talk) 16:01, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Russian Military Partition of Ukraine into 2 Parts on the Model of the Dual Partition of Korea

- This NBC News report quotes Jeffrey Edmonds, "a senior analyst at CNA", who says that the Russian commanders were given very little time to plan the offensive, resulting in a "just drive down the road and see what happens kind of approach". Alansplodge (talk) 18:52, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
- Alansplodge That second Pentagon article you present from last month in February seems to introduce the divide-and-conquer strategy, that is, divide Ukraine in half geographically and then concentrate on defeating the eastern half. Here is a newer strategy analysis from last week discussing the four fronts description of the invasion [1]. Also this article from yesterday states that Russia may wish to partition Ukraine into two parts on the model of North Korea and South Korea here [2]. ErnestKrause (talk) 14:18, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
The project to revisit older FAs that begun in late 2020 is still ongoing, and as Warfare is the largest category of FAs, I think it would be good for the project to "give" back by looking over some of the oldest, as more expert eyes can be a big help. Some of the oldest ones that still need attention:
- USS Missouri (BB-63) is in a process of reducing overreliance on DANFS; any help there would be appreciated
- Operation Ten-Go is in pretty good shape, but needs some unreliable web sources pruned/replaced
- William Tecumseh Sherman has been at FAR for almost a year
- Has now been delisted.
- Rhys ap Gruffydd - an old Welsh warlord. Needs reviews to see if it meets standards
- Toledo War - an obscure internal US boundary dispute, needs reviews to see if it meets standards
- Battle of Savo Island - in good shape, needs some smaller source improvements and maybe some lead work
- Ulm campaign - has been given a formal pre-FAR notice for some sourcing upgrades needed. This looks fixable if anyone has relevant sources (I don't). It would be a shame if it were delisted
- Battle of Schellenberg - has not been looked at as part of the FA process, could use a read-through from someone familiar with the subject
- Battle of Ceresole Looks pretty good, but could use attention from someone more familiar with this
- Thomas C. Hindman - in very poor sourcing shape, has also been given a formal pre-FAR notice. I can help with this one, but lack a couple key sources.
All of these were promoted in 2006 or before, with the exception of Hindman, which was promoted in 2007. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and maintaining old FAs is just as important as creating new ones. If we can get these 10 looked at, that would be a great big help for the URFA effort.

MILHIST that have been noticed for potentially needing FAR
These are ones with known issues that preclude status. I'll sort through the list, and post them here. Hopefully they can be fixed, but any editor can send one article to FAR a week, so if one is not going to be fixable in the near term, volunteers for FAR nominations would be welcome as a last-case scenario. Hog Farm Talk 21:12, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
- Shangani Patrol (British South Africa)
- Józef Piłsudski (20th-century Poland)
- Byzantine Empire (topic should be obvious)
- 1968 Thule Air Base B-52 crash (Cold War, nuclear-related)
- Óengus I (pre-Scottish warlord)
- Now at FAR
- Ivan Bagramyan (Soviet officer)
- Cleomenean War (ancient Sparta)
- First Nagorno-Karabakh War (Armenia/Azerbaijan conflict,)
- Ulm campaign (Napoleon) [see above]
- Cretan War (205–200 BC) (ancient Macedonia)
- Thomas C. Hindman (American Civil War) [see above]
- Edwin Taylor Pollock (early 20th-century US Navy)
- 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines (US Marine Corps)
- Attalus I (ancient Greece)
- Battle of Dien Bien Phu (French Indochina) [see above]
These are in varying degrees of condition. Hopefully they can be saved, but don't be afraid to send one to FAR if it is beyond reasonable fixing. FAR has some more detailed instructions on nominating rules, see WP:FAR there or ask at WT:FAR. I can attempt to answer any questions, but of the above, only Hindman is a topic I'm particularly familiar with. Hog Farm Talk 21:23, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Originalcola recently removed Hungary from the infobox after a discussion on the talk page. I think this is probably correct, but am unsure. Italy is still there, but no mention of Italians in Axis order of battle at the Battle of Stalingrad. I think some units from the Italian 8th Army may have been attached to the German 6th Army and caught in the encirclement. I think some clarification is in order here. This is not my area and the discussion on the talk page did not generate much input, so I am posting this here. Srnec (talk) 14:31, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- This may be relevant Italian participation in the Eastern Front GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:57, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- The Italian 8th Army occupied a defensive line on the River Don, with the Hungarians on their left to the west and the Romanians on their right to the east (map here). Beyond the Romanians further east was the German 6th Army at Stalingrad. The initial Soviet encirclement fell on the Romanians, but the Italian front was attacked in Operation Little Saturn which eventually led to their rout in February 1943. Alansplodge (talk) 21:38, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- But didn't Little Saturn also hit the Hungarians? The troop dispositions I (sort of) know. It is the 'boundaries' of the battle of Stalingrad—what 'counts' as part of that—that I am unsure of. And hence unsure of keeping the Italians and leaving out the Hungarians. Srnec (talk) 00:47, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I have started a discussion at Talk:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine#Should we continue to report equipment losses in the infobox?. Any information is particularly scant and/or from belligerent sources. Please comment. Cinderella157 (talk) 11:19, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Is that “neutrally worded” per WP:APPNOTE? DeCausa (talk) 12:02, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Is it in any way inaccurate? Cinderella157 (talk) 12:25, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- I don’t know. I don’t think accuracy is relevant. A notification which adds on an accurate statement which only supports one side of the discussion (which this clearly does) is not neutral. DeCausa (talk) 12:58, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

I though I would drop a note here that there are two different articles for the same information at the moment. LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmission∆ °co-ords° 15:49, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
