Given my current FLN List of cities in Donetsk Oblast is effectively ready and will likely be promoted in the next day or two, I'm going to go ahead and start this one. Most of the list content is copied over from the stuff I created at the Donetsk Oblast list, which was already reviewed during that article's FLN, so I'm guessing there won't be any major issues to resolve with this one. In any case tho, excited to get this one through and continue the series! Cheers, Dan the Animator 04:11, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Comments from Steelkamp

• Do the raions cover the whole oblast or just part of the oblast? This should be explicitly mentioned in the second paragraph.

Fixed? Yup, I reworded it to say The eight raions that make up the oblast are Alchevsk... and Svatove raion but let me know if additional rewording is needed.

• "War in Donbas" should be changed to "war in Donbas".

Fixed

• Holubivka and Pervomaisk are disambiguation links.

Fixed

• I don't think linking City in the table is necessary as it's an everyday word as per MOS:OVERLINK.

Removed link

• The space before reference 15 should be removed as per MOS:REFSPACE.

Fixed

• Why is Luhansk in italics in the table?

Luhansk is the oblast capital so I though I'd put some distinguishing feature on it similar to how other list of cities articles put an asterisk on capitals. If it helps tho, I don't mind taking it out... I didn't really expect it to be an issue.

It's just that without a key, readers might not know why Luhansk is italicised. Also, as per MOS:TABLEKEY, I don't think italics is considered accessible. A symbol is needed instead and a key used. Given that Luhansk is already mentioned as the capital in the lead, you could just do away with italicising/using a symbol in the table altogether. Otherwise, a key and symbol are needed.

Comments

In addition to the above.....

• Can't see any reason for the former names of cities to be in italics

Removed italics

• None of the image captions are complete sentences, so they should not have full stops.

Fixed

• Most of the image captions contains facts (eg "Popasna, a major railway city heavily damaged during the invasion") which are not mentioned anywhere else in the articles, so these will need to be sourced -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:36, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Added sources

• @Steelkamp and ChrisTheDude: I think that should fix most of it. As a side-note, I'll be applying any applicable suggestions here to my other FLN List of cities in Donetsk Oblast. Let me know if there's anything else I can do and thanks for the help! :) Dan the Animator 17:35, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
