Logo before 2023?
editI remember the patch of a skull in a sniper reticle being prominently displayed on the article in the past. Was it removed due to copyright reasons? Surely it'd fall under fair use, right? It baffles me that the older and more notorious design wouldn't be shown anywhere on english wikipedia, let alone the dedicated page. EnzarelX (talk) 03:50, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

TenshiPT (talk) 12:59, 16 June 2024 (UTC) At the final category (Post-Prigozhin's death) there's a sentence that says: "Wagner is officially becoming a unit of Rosgvardia...The entire structure, methods of work and commanders remain the same.", there's supposed to be "an unit of Rosgvardia" not "a unit of Rosgvardia"
Not done: a unit
is correct,an
is only used when the next word begins with a vowel sound (regardless of whether the letter is a vowel or not). Unit begins with the consonant soundY
likea university
ora universal truth
. You only needan
when the U makes a vowel sound like inan umbrella
. English is a very weird language. Jamedeus (talk) 01:29, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Contradictory payment figures
editThere are paymen figures in this article that hardly make sense. Namely, it says that the pay could be between 80,000-250,000 rubles or 667-2083 in USD citing a 2017 article. So the USD/RUB ratio was about 120 back then. Problem is, back in 2017 and prior the USD/RUB ratio was between 60-70 rubles, and even if we take into accout the taxes, it is still way off the 667-2083 range stated in the same sentence. The same applies to the next sentence, which states that 300,000 RUB corresponds to 2,500 USD according to an article published again in 2017 - once again a random USD/RUB ratio which has nothing to do with 2017 reality.

- THis looks like OR. Slatersteven (talk) 12:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- It may very well be. Either someone failed to understand the article they cited, or the authors of the article are really bad at math. 12:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Or that was not the exchange rate in 2017, care to link to a source for it? Slatersteven (talk) 12:14, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
