Given that the article is still having a high editing load at the moment (I count around 16 edits within the last day) it appears that the article is currently too unstable to be approved for DYK. It has been a week since the marking for closure and yet the situation has not changed. As such I am regretfully closing the nomination. There is no prejudice against re-nomination if the article is brought to GA status.

... that since the start of the Russian invasion, over 5 million Ukrainian refugees have left Ukraine, the fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since the Second World War? Source: “Ukraine has fastest-growing refugee crisis since second world war, says UN More than 1.5 million people reportedly crossed into neighbouring countries since Russia invaded” “The Russian invasion of Ukraine has triggered the fasting-growing refugee crisis in Europe since the second world war, according to the head of the UN’s refugee agency.” The Guardian
Comment: The number of refugees will undoubtedly increase. Please confirm the current number before posting.
Comment As the number is changing rapidly, it would be better stated indicating the time frame, like “in the first X days,” or “X days after the start of the open Russian invasion of 2022.” —MichaelZ. 17:14, 7 March 2022 (UTC)reply
Annoyingly my ITN nomination has been closed on the grounds that this is part of the ongoing
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine which is already "in the news". So I will review this.

Optional - translate titles of non-English cites (trans-title param).
Happy with your hook but have proposed a shorter alternative if you prefer.

Thank you for your help. I will do some editing. A photo would be good. I like the current photo of people sheltering under the bridge. Is it of high enough quality for the main page? Maybe there are other photos? I looked a few days ago, but there must be more now. Not sure if all of them have been categorized properly.

The image was changed. I like this new one better.

Thriley It does not have to be the lead pic if you prefer another. There is no guarantee that a pic will be added but if you suggest one the DYK co-ordinators will decide later depending on quality and other DYK pics. You probably also need to tell them which hook you prefer - I prefer the shorter one as more punchy.

@
Chidgk1: I just added a photo to the nomination. Both hooks are fine. I’d like to leave the choice up to the DYK team. Thank you again for your help.

All OK. Note to co-ordinators - as this is topical it would be great if you could put it in as soon as possible.

unfortunately, this is gonna be on hold pending the DYK RfC on Russia/Ukraine.

The RfC is over, but I still have stability concerns about this one. Since the DYK review was carried out on March 8, this article has received over 500 substantial edits, massively skewing its content and authorship. It's still receiving over 50 edits a day. I don't think we can guarantee that this one is going to meet DYK standards by the time it hits the main page.

@
Theleekycauldron: I’ve been keeping watch of the article. While it is an evolving news story, I have not seen many serious issues come up with the new edits. Everything appears to be cited with reliable sources. It would be great to see this on DYK, especially since it was denied at ITN.
Thriley (

50 edits in just the last 19 hours, many of them quite substantive. I'm sorry, I haven't changed my position on this one. What do others think?

I want to note that this nomination was taken off the main DYK nomination page during the Ukraine/Russia RFC and was not put back until yesterday.

I'm going to reject this one as it is still getting heavy edits. --

evrik As the number has only recently stabilised at 5 million people perhaps you could wait a little longer. Hopefully there will not be any more dramatic developments, so I am guessing the rate of edits will reduce soon.

Outdated/misleading refugee data in paragraph
"As of 18 October 2022, according to UNHCR data, the countries receiving the largest numbers of Ukrainians were Russia (2.77 million), Poland (1.5 million), Germany (1 million) and the Czech Republic (0.5 million)"
This sentence is conflating border crossings for Russia with refugees for the other nations. It is also outdated information and redundant with data in the side table which is neither outdated nor misleading.
Fredepd (

Fredepd, you are correct and I have updated the text and the 'countries' bar chart to record 'registered' AFA possible rather than 'crossings" - which as you say leads to an inflated (and madly out of date) figure for Rus Fed. UNHCR has changed the way it displays figures several times - in the beginning of the crisis, all figures were 'crossings' which gave a misleading picture as many millions were entering Poland and other 'neighbour' countries , many of whom travelled onwards or went 'home' as soon as they could. We don't have 'registered', nor 'onward' nor 'return' figures for Russia, so all we can do is note the different criteria UNHCR has used. I've modified the text you pointed to such that it records those who have soought asylum/temp protection, rather than crossings.
