Oskil westbank Bridgehead Offensive
[edit]Hey IiSmxyzXX, I saw you suggested creating a Page for events happening in Topoli, Dvorichna, and Kam'yanka. Honestly, I’ve been interested in this for a while—how about we chat about it now? Just my two cents, but if you wanna name this event the Oskil River Offensive, I don’t think that works right now. Here’s why: the Oskil River in Ukrainian territory stretches 111 km if you draw a straight line from the international border (near Topoli) to where it meets the Kharkiv-Donetsk border. But the straight-line distance from Topoli to Kalyone is only 34 km. So naming it after the river feels off. Maybe Topoli-Kam'yanka-Dvorichna Line? Or do you have a better idea? Let me know!

- Another suggestion I heard was to name the page something along the lines of “Kupyansk front of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine”, although I do think that this name is lengthy. If we don’t include the Oskil river in the name, then I believe it should instead include Kupyansk as that is the main area of which most of these events are taking place nearby. It’s also been reported that Russian forces may be planning to use the bridgehead as a means of directly attacking and encircling Kupyansk.
- What are your thoughts? IiSmxyzXX (talk) 22:13, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- I think for now the right title is kupyanks - Dvorichna - Topoli Line Bukansatya (talk) 04:06, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- I feel as though the name should be a common name in the media, as per Wikipedia:Common name. Most sources reporting on the engagements in the area, such as the ISW, refer to it as simply the “Kupyansk Direction”, and other news sources refer to it as the “Kupyansk Front”. The ISW also consistently refers to these engagements as part of an offensive operation, so I do believe that the word offensive should be in included in the page title.
- However I do believe that the page name can be discussed later as it isn’t a clear choice. For now, I think we should focus on drafting up an article for this front. As for a starting date to such offensive operations, there are two clear options (unless you could suggest another date): November 14, 2024 [1], which is when Russian forces began to directly attack Kupyansk city and shifted offensive efforts to this direction, or January 9, 2025 [2], when Russian forces established their first bridgehead across the Oskil river.
- As we said earlier, the contents of the article should highlight the events along the Kupyansk - Dvorichna - Topoli line between whatever start date we decide on to the present.
- I am fairly new to drafting articles on Wikipedia, but I will try to see what I can do. If possible, you may assist me by helping draft such article. IiSmxyzXX (talk) 05:05, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Alright then. Let's use 'Kupyanks Offensive' as the title. If you want to start the "draft", feel free to do so. I’ll assist as much as possible when I have time Bukansatya (talk) 05:32, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- I have created a draft at Draft:Kupiansk Offensive. It is currently bare as I have time restraints currently, but I will continue to work on it later and flesh it out more. Feel free to touch it up and edit it as you please. IiSmxyzXX (talk) 06:44, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- I'm working on a map for the Kupyanks Offensive, probably gonna take around 2 days to 1.5 weeks to finish. I'm super busy rn, so sorry if I can't help much this time Bukansatya (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hey man it’s all good, take your time with the map. I’ve pretty much got the writing of the article under control, so don’t stress if you aren’t able to help much. 👍 IiSmxyzXX (talk) 20:19, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- The map is finally done, though not really 100% done because I haven't added some small reservoirs, the Oskil River tributaries, and settlements from Shevchenkove settlement hromada and other hromadas. So I had to cover those missing parts with the map legend. Sorry it's a bit late—I ran into some technical errors and had to rebuild parts of the map from scratch, plus add around 50+ more settlements Bukansatya (talk) 18:16, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- It’s all good mate, map looks fine to me. Don’t stress about it IiSmxyzXX (talk) 21:25, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

Broskalitre thing
[edit]Hello liSmxyz, I saw your recent comment on my own page. If you are wondering, I am the same person as Broskalitre but operating in a different account on a different device. If you think you can improve my “Borova-Sviatohirsk-Lyman-Sloviansk-Siversk line Offensive “ page , I would warmly welcome you to do so. You can also edit my page but not move the title whenever you want. I have also seen on the top that you have created the Kupiansk Offensive page. Can I edit the page to make that page better and produce more information?(I will not remove any edits unless necessary like copyright) Liagdan (talk) 06:29, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- Also, do you think the “Borova-Sviatohirsk-Lyman-Sloviansk-Siversk line offensive” page is ready to be shown in the public and be shown in the “List of engagements during the Russian invasion of Ukraine” page? Liagdan (talk) 06:37, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- If it is then I would make a request to experienced confirmed editors to put this page into the “List of military engagements during the Russian invasion of Ukraine” page. Liagdan (talk) 06:39, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hey there,
- Whilst I do appreciate the offer for help, I pretty much have my Kupiansk Offensive page under control and am pretty comfortable at where it’s at.
- For now though, I’d check the comment I just left on Talk:Borova-Sviatohirsk-Lyman-Sloviansk-Siversk Line Offensive and take the necessary steps to help fix up your page. I may help out on your page once I finish off some work outside of Wikipedia. IiSmxyzXX (talk) 20:48, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- Sure ! Thank you so much Liagdan (talk) 05:08, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Northern Donetsk Campaign
[edit]Hello IiSmxyzXX,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Northern Donetsk Campaign for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want Northern Donetsk Campaign to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Articles for deletion nomination
[edit]Hallo IiSmxyzXX, i want to ask for your opinion about nomination of the articles for deletion Luhansk Oblast Campaign Order of Battle . I’m not asking you to agree to keep or delete it. I just want your honest take—if you think the page deserves to be deleted, that’s totally fine. If not, no problem either Bukansatya (talk) 10:34, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Readiness of Northeast Donetsk Campaign
[edit]Hello IiSmxyzXX, I think the page for the Northeast Donetsk Campaign is done and what do you think and your opinion of the page and is it ready to be published? Broskalitre (talk) 22:36, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
- I think it looks good so far but still has some working on to do. Maybe leave it for a few more days and flesh out the body section a bit more. IiSmxyzXX (talk) 21:35, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
New readiness of Northeast Donetsk Campaign
[edit]Hello @IiSmxyzXX, I have made a lot of changes to the Northeast Donetsk Campaign page and added a lot of new information and significantly expanded the timeline section. So do you think it’s is ready to be moved into the article space and ready for the public and what do you think about the page? Liagdan (talk) 02:53, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- I have checked over the page, and whilst I do think it still has a few flaws, I do believe it is mostly ready to be published and moved into main space. The article’s issues at this point are minor and can be fixed and worked on in the main space instead. IiSmxyzXX (talk) 04:17, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
- Ok Thanks! Liagdan (talk) 04:18, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
Topic.
[edit]Hello @IiSmxyzXX,
Regarding the recent talks about the discussion of the Northeast Donetsk Oblast campaign, you recently mentioned that you strongly suggested a new title for the page should the page be kept. I just want to know your suggestion for the title of that page since I really could not find any new title for the page except for the old name " Sviatohirsk-Sloviansk-Lyman-Siversk Line of Offensive" which I know @Bukansatya would likely oppose since we can already see it based on the talk page of the Northeast Donetsk Oblast campaign. So, let me know your suggestion for the new name of the page. Broskalitre (talk) 13:53, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- If I am going to honest with you, I do not know. All I know is that whatever new name the article takes on, it should be a common term in the media. I’d like to remind you that the media seems to commonly refer to the Lyman and Siversk fronts as seperate, which is why SaintPaulOfTarsus started that discussion over at Northeast Donetsk Oblast campaign.
- Upon doing some research, I cannot seem to find any common and/or easily identifiable name for this particular area. Perhaps you should start a new discussion regarding the title once the results of the split discussion are clear. In the event that this article is kept and a replacement title cannot be decided on, the only other idea I can think of to somewhat mitigate the situation is to create a few redirects for the specific sections of the article.
