Add Asia to the list of continents where there have been operations, as Syria and parts of Russia are in Asia. IrisArgo (talk) 22:25, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the Serbia section of "Possible activities" it says "being training" when it should say "being trained". AshtonWest032 (talk) 17:01, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Logo before 2023?

I 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)[reply]

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"[reply]

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 sound Y like a university or a universal truth. You only need an when the U makes a vowel sound like in an umbrella. English is a very weird language.
