Casualty figures need updated.

The casualty figures for the Legion are in desperate need of being updated, they have not been updated since 17th June over 2 months ago. It is of course hard in the fog of war to get confirmation of casualties and their nationalities but surely there is some information out there, just moments ago I read a report about an Irish volunteer who is missing presumed dead and I imagine there have been quite a few others since June 17th. 2A00:23C8:90A:1601:288D:4963:FAE2:B1AC (talk) 00:51, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two months is not a particularly long time for a specific unit, WP:RS are needed for such updates. TylerBurden (talk) 16:05, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add CivDiv from YouTube as a notable figure who has enlisted as he has over a million followers and is putting out content from the Foreign Legion of the TDF. 66.208.69.222 (talk) 02:47, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The recent videos stated he is no longer part of the International Legion, but rather of a Territorial Defence Brigade. Davomme (talk) 10:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. TylerBurden (talk) 18:15, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Motto

Motto's listed were "Join the Brave" and "Contra Rationem" until the latter was changed to "F" on 7 March 2024. Real motto or joke? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raveheart97 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The source cited did not mention that it was the "motto", just seems like a marketing slogan to me. If we wanna make claims about what their motto is we should reference it properly. TylerBurden (talk) 18:37, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Low quality of sources used

Greetings people, please pay closer attention to sources being used, I spotted some propaganda like pravda-ru, and unnamed some like newsunrolled . ManyAreasExpert (talk) 19:54, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
