- This is not an appropriate comment for the Wikipedia comments, you can easily look this up, Chechens are North Caucasians, specifically Vainakhs. ~2025-37619-50 (talk) 07:11, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
Change Infobox
Add info to government section of the infobox
I think we should change "Parliament of the Chechen Republic" to "Parliament of the Chechen Republic under an authoritarian dictatorship", or even "under a totalitarian dictatorship", as that what it is pretty much is!
I thought I would put it here for consideration by you, so I don't waste my time making an edit that could be reverted Sickminecraft45 (talk) 10:23, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for investing the effort of contributing your opinion. Now the only thing you need to provide is a published, reliable, secondary source that can be cited to validate your opinion, and we can get the ball rolling. Nom de vileplume (talk) 01:15, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

- Are these good enough to label it as an Authoritarian Regime? Sickminecraft45 (talk) 08:16, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
- I think that you should add it to the Politics section, something along the lines of "Kadyrov's government has been described as an authoritarian or totalitarian."
- These sources (the US government agency and a Polish think-tank) are not ideal, you'd want to use scholarly source. However I don't think anyone seriously doubts that Kadyrov's government is authoritarian. Alaexis¿question? 07:05, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- I am not sure why we are even using Template:Infobox settlement and not Template:Infobox Russian federal subject. IIRC there was an account that changed the infoboxes on the pages about the republics a couple years ago, but this was never reverted. Mellk (talk) 09:55, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
Garbled statistics
This anonymous edit changed some of the statistics relating to Islam without changing the source. It also left behind the following text: Significant percentages (over 5%) were found in(38.6%), Yamalia (17.4%), Astrakhan Oblast (14.6%), ... The 38.6% figure is orphaned. This inexcusably sloppy edit, uncorrected for over three years, leaves me with no confidence in the factual accuracy of the section. Hairy Dude (talk) 02:25, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
