a or an
Hi Tetizeraz,
I try to answer your question: the "an" is used if the word begins with a vowel (with a, e, i, o or u), the "a" is used if the word begins with a consonant. So it is "an online", but for example "a line".
However, it is not important how the word is spelled but how it is pronounced. As an example, it is "a European trip" although European begins with the vowel "e", because the word is pronouced like "youropean" and "y" is a consonant. Also, it is "an honest man" because the "h" is not pronounced (it is pronounced like "an onest man"). And it is "a one-legged man" because the "one" is pronounced like it begins with a "w", not with an "o". I hope this is not to confusing.

Named ref removal at 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
Friendly notification: This recent edit you made also removed a named reference (i.e. <ref name="500troops">{{cite...}}</ref>
) which resulted in an error being shown in the article because that reference was used in more than one location. If you happen to come across references with names in the future the typical easy fix is to just copy the citation and move it to another location that uses the same reference. The completed edit would look something like this. It's already fixed and nothing to worry about - just something to keep an eye out for if you happen to catch it. (...and sorry to belabor a topic if you already knew all this and just overlooked it.) Cheers. --N8wilson 06:36, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
