We should probably list it as annexed instead of "occupied" as that would be more accurate to the description of Crimea.BarakHussan (talk)13:56, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you are describing Russian, Ukrainian, and even Greek (my own) history, please respect our cultures and how our use of BC and AD (as opposed to your use of BCE and CE) is preferred to describe our people's historical timelines. However "progressive" you might be, your substitution is actually considered "elitist" and quite disrespectful. Your proposed CE timeline excludes the incorporation of Central and South American people, First Nations of North America, Aborigines of Australia, Asians, most Africans, and is actually a slight on these people. "Common Era" didn't happen, anyway, until late 1700s when every continent was finally discovered and every people around the world were brought into the mix, so your proposed idea of a CE starting time as the same time as the borth of Jesus Christ is really off because that would really make our present day not 2024 AD where a real "inclusive" start time, factoring the 1700s would make today the year 270 CE or something.173.177.127.212 (talk)20:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add link toBlack Sea Fleet dispute in the sentence "The Soviet fleet in Crimea was also in contention", with "in contention" linking to the article.Rutdam (talk)23:12, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article needs updating, since Ukraine has retaken much of Crimea, or certainly its coastal areas if not the mainland. Over the past two years, there have been many encounters between Ukraine's navy and the Russian Black Sea Fleet invaders. Now I don't know whether the Russians might have won the occasional short-term battle, but certainly 99% of wars have been won outright by Ukraine. There were two reports three weeks apart reporting a retreat by Putin and these are both in the past few weeks, one is here from 15th July 2024https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1923436/vladimir-putin-russia-black-sea-fleet-crimea, and this one three weeks after,https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1932221/vladimir-putin-crimea-retreat-air-force-russia. With Ukraine winning and winning and winning, it is patently obvious that they control most if not all of the coastline. Can someone able to edit please make the necessary adjustments? Thanks. --Four 4 Play (talk)09:34, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reading the article, I see that the Politics section does not mention the Crimean parliamentary elections, the most recent in 2024, or the fact that 4 members of the Russian Duma represent Crimean constituencies, with another one representing Sevastopol. Can this detail be added?2A00:23C8:3D81:7801:E8BC:C4D2:6856:9648 (talk)16:15, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Listing in the Crimea article the ethnic composition of the Taurida Governorate as per the 1897 Russian Empire Census is not only unnecessary, but also misleading. Crimea's population composition was very different from other uyezds in the Taurida Governorate. Commingling these numbers serves only to confuse and create incorrect impressions given that the 1897 Russian Empire Census provided figures specific to just Crimea. Instead of: "The 1897 Russian Empire Census for the Taurida Governorate reported 196,854 (13.06%) Crimean Tatars, 404,463 (27.94%) Russians and 611,121 (42.21%) Ukrainians. But these numbers included Berdyansky, Dneprovsky and Melitopolsky uyezds, which were on the mainland, not in Crimea." The text should say:"The 1897 Russian Empire Census for Crimea reported 194,294 (35.6%) Crimean Tatars, 180,963 (33.11%) Russians and 64,703 (11.8%) Ukrainians. Jews (including Krymchaks and Crimean Karaites) represented about 5% of the population. Other minorities included Armenians, Bulgarians, Belarusians, Germans, Greeks, Roma (gypsies) and Turks."71.105.71.116 (talk)19:09, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
