Only a small part out of the tens of thousands Kadyrovtsy serve in this regiment

Just see the Russian article about the concept of theKadyrovtsy with the incomplete list if Kadyrovtsy units (most with their own articles):

https://ru.wikipedia.org/Кадыровцы

This isn't any sort of "common name", but a confusion and misinformation, perhaps based on the name (Kadyrov regiment). The Kadyrovtsy are all armed men serving the Kadyrovs. Today they're consolidated in many regiments, battalions, and so on, in addition to unofficial militias and reservists. And this one is just one of these.

It's not even the only one bearing the name "Kadyrov" (in fact most units are named either "Kadyrov" or "Akhmat", after Akhmat Kadyrov as part of his cult). And detachments from all of these existing today were sent to Ukraine, too.

So.please restore split tag, or just split the unit yourself.

Also since you're interested in the castration incident, the Russian policeman was a member of one f the Kadyrovtsy unitz the SOBR Akhmat. The unit on Ru Misplaced Pages:

94.254.185.85 (talk) 08:43, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Which particular article or edit are you referring to? Volunteer Marek 21:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

#Nomination of Torture and castration of a Ukrainian POW in Pryvillia for deletion - it's been done by a Chechen special police (SOBR) unit from Grozny, even if the man with the knife wasn't even a Chechen nor from Chechnya. (He also wasn't a "soldier" as the article kept describing him, but a policeman in the service of Chechen Interior Ministry, meaning of course the service of Kadyrov.)

Salso, several Kadyrovtsy units listed in the Russian Misplaced Pages article have been just recently (late 2022) created by Kadyrov specifically to be sent to Ukraine. Including at least 1 new regiment and multiple separate battalions of the National Guard (former Internal Troops), Russia's paramilitary police.

Ah, ok, could be right. Do you have any sources other than Russian Misplaced Pages? Volunteer Marek 23:53, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

The Russian article quotes https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/chechens-putins-loyal-foot-soldiers and several Russian language articles, I do not know if this Misplaced Pages accepts all of them as reliable. Xx236 (talk) 08:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

ChatGPT

I asked ChatGPT what your real name is, and it replied "Misplaced Pages has a policy of preserving the anonymity of its editors, and as such, the real names of its contributors are not publicly disclosed." Zero 05:26, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Apparently ChatGPT has a better understanding of Misplaced Pages policy than some editors on here. Volunteer Marek 05:43, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Arbitration case notification

You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Holocaust in Poland and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

Thanks, GeneralNotability (talk) 20:11, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

@GeneralNotability: Since you filed the case request is there a reason why you didn't include User:Chapmansh, the author of the article? Volunteer Marek 20:15, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Volunteer Marek, they were left off of the initial list because they are not actively editing in the topic area. If you believe they should be included, I recommend that you bring it up at the case request. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:22, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Uh... they wrote the article that is prompting the case. Volunteer Marek 20:24, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

And I'm sorry @GeneralNotability: I find the rationale of "not actively editing in the topic area" as a justification for exclusion to be quite strange since the list of parties includes User:Poeticbent who hasn't edited Misplaced Pages AT ALL in four years, which I believe qualifies as "not actively editing in the topic area". Volunteer Marek 20:32, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Seen, and I see you've brought it up on the case page, so nothing further to add here. GeneralNotability (talk) 21:13, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

I saw...

Your comment. I'm currently working through that pile again in prep for the expected opening of the arb case. And will be looking at other articles too. I guess I know what I'm doing for the next few weeks. I need to order that book on Chelmno... I never did get it last year. In my defense, when I got back to the house last Feb, my son left so I had to take on all the hobby-farm work as well as the outdoor work and the computer-gaming-work and the research I'm (supposedly) doing on my own books. So wiki editing has moved down the priority list. I looked to have some free wiki editing time coming up but I guess it's going to get swallowed up by arbcom. I never did thank you for the editing you did do, so thank you. Ealdgyth (talk) 01:30, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

License tagging for File:0 AE cases 2022.png

Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages.

(talk page stalker) I think I fixed this for you. In the future, I recommend uploading such stuff to Wikimedia Commons. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:44, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Russo-Ukrainian War Extended-confirmed protection

Greetings! Turns out non-extended-confirmed editors (as me, having less than 250 edits I guess) are barred from editing articles on a subject per Misplaced Pages:General sanctions/Russo-Ukrainian War . My contributions to enwiki are limited but I have contributed alot to ruwiki articles on a subject however - (most article edits are hidden for security concerns). Is there a chance to allow particular non-EC editors to make contributions? Thanks! Manyareasexpert (talk) 21:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

You can make a proposal or a request on article's talk pages. Volunteer Marek 03:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Tec

I have Tec's When Light Pierced the Darkness... but it's available on Internet Archive in two editions 1986 with red lettering and 1986 with yellow lettering. (For disclosure - I have the yellow lettering edition and it's even signed by Tec, although I got it used so...not inscribed to me) Ealdgyth (talk) 13:16, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Oh wow, awesome. Thanks! Volunteer Marek 15:37, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

I've found that InternetArchive is a lifesaver lately...there are a LOT of books I need for "fact checking" available there, thus saving my bank account a good bit. I did just order this work and it should be here next week... Ealdgyth (talk) 15:47, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

That looks like a really good book. I don't know if I'll have the time to obtain and read it myself in the near future though. Let me know what you think of it once you get it. Volunteer Marek 05:52, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

AE

I am using GCB's diffs and replying to them, by indenting my posts. Why do you think that diff is the evidence of my claims? Also, note my usage of "a" instead of "the". TrangaBellam (talk) 06:14, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

I have added the diff. Fwiw, as I said, I do not think that you casted any aspersion - I guess my framing was clear enough? TrangaBellam (talk) 06:19, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I see, you were talking about a completely different article. Still, I'm not sure how that addresses the relevant diff, nor how reminding everyone (not you specifically) that BLP applies to a particular article is "aspersions". Volunteer Marek 06:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

I do say that it is NOT an aspersion. Because you had reasonable basis to make the claim from my edit! Is that not clear from my writing? TrangaBellam (talk) 06:43, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Btw, can you please strike through the first part of your statement - since it was based on a misunderstanding. Regards, TrangaBellam (talk) 16:45, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm actually not quite clear what it is you want me to strike because I never said you were casting aspersions - I said you invoked them. I did strike that part though. Volunteer Marek 22:09, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey are you paid by pentagon to remove Amensty report on Ukrainian war crimes?

Generally curious are you on pay roll of Pentagon for past 6 months to continuously remove following report of Amnesty International on war crime committed by ukrainian forces?

Or you are doing it voluntarily ? Proud Indian Arnab (talk) 15:17, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
