Problem with Casualties[edit]

For some reason, aid workers are being listed as casualties for the International legion. Why? There is a clear distinction between fighters of the international legion and aid workers from foreign countries. We should more stringently review the casualties and remove aid workers.

The legality part[edit]

The legality part seems very flawed and uninformed - should this not be updated? If a news article that is sourced says that it's gray zone, it's usually legal. Some cases are also marked as "disencouraged" but not illegal, so it's not unclear. To mark it "unclear" shows that the article's editors have no knowledge about law or the matter and that this part is very lacking. I'm not a wikipedia user usually since some editors spew their stuff here and get proven wrong later even after whining to their favourite mods and getting their edits protected, but consider looking into it more for this article as I won't edit. 2001:14BA:A301:ACE8:0:0:0:1 (talk) 22:21, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph on early war recruitment[edit]

I've given this a cleanup flag and made this topic to avoid an edit war. I believe that the paragraph in question should be deleted entirely, because it was a single anonymous source that does not seem to reflect the overall sentiment - since, after all, the selection criteria broadened. A later source corroborating this, from a more reliable (non anonymous) source is necessary.

If someone agrees that the paragraph should be deleted outright, please do so. I am only doing this to avoid edit warring. Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 19:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems OK to have such section, but I removed a duplication of this in another section. My very best wishes (talk) 19:21, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
