Pirate edits
Thanks for your edits on Moody and Noland! I fixed the Noland page (changed date, added reference, reworded), and I like the way you worded the Moody edit. I hadn't had time to find the reference in Johnson, but you beat me to it, so it's all good! I've never used the Quote tag but I'll try to do so more often in the future.

- Thanks for the immediate fix to Richard Noland! In a similar vein, Richard Worley's page states that Moody may have been active "well after 1718", citing Charles Grey; however, I don't see references to dates other than "November 1718" in text near "Moody". Do you know whether the statement is backed up by Grey, and if so, on what page[s]? —

Kherson
Added a new source (published as of 15 minutes ago) by the BBC regarding the Ukrainian flag being hung in Kherson by protesters, and the report clearly refers to the city as "occupied". The earlier second source you added was clearly referring to Kherson as a province since the sentence that talks about Ukrainian attempts to regain territory is right bellow a map showing Kherson in Russian-controlled territory, while the areas north of Kherson city are contested. The map in that news post could itself be considered a source confirming Russian control. If there is actually fighting in Kherson city itself, we would need sources that more clearly establish that.

Re: Velykyi Burluk
Hi, I've added a CNN extra source for Velykyi Burluk.--HCPUNXKID 19:32, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
Control of cities during the Russo-Ukrainian War
All of the mentioned towns also fall within territories confirmed under Russian control by the Institute for the Study of War, which bases almost all of its information on announcements by the Ukrainian General Staff. For reference, see the latest version of their control map [1] which has been republished and reused by dozens of reliable sources since the start of the conflict. Also, no problem with adding the info you mentioned to the "More information" column. Best regards and thank you as well for keeping all of it up-to-date! EkoGraf (talk) 02:30, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- @EkoGraf Indeed, I had not considered the map. That said, the map does not show territories "confirmed" to be under Russian control, but only "assessed" so. In addition, as I am sure you are aware, the Control of cities during the Russo-Ukrainian War page is used to inform changes to the detailed map, for which "copying from maps is strictly prohibited" (even for reliable sources, because these maps are "approximate"). Either of these is, I believe, sufficient reason to not use the ISW map as a source. Therefore, I still consider the edits in question too close to WP:OR. (Related to this, I was unable to verify the previous source for Krolevets, so I would suggest not restoring that but classing the city as having "Unknown" control.) —

Bamboula Village moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Bamboula Village, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)
