Trịnh Tố Tâm advice
[edit]Howdy. I created Trịnh Tố Tâm through using the Vietnamese article as a base. The statement that he personally killed 272 enemies during the Vietnam War is exceptional, but I can't find any sources that criticize that number. I'm not sure I'm the one to tell what's propaganda or not. Would it be incorrect to use words such as "allegedly" or "claimed" as I did in the article, or would this be a mild form of WP:OR as the sources do not seem to use this language? With this exceptionalism in mind, what articles would you link to this one in order to de-orphan in? Mbdfar (talk) 12:59, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Mbdfar: Technically, yes that would be OR. What you could do is recast the sentence to make clear that it's not Wikipedia's voice. For example, using info from vi:Tiền phong (báo), you could say "The state-owned news outlet Báo điện tử Tiền Phong reported that ...". That level of caution is a good practice when repeating any information from non-indepdendent state-owned outlets. Ed [talk] [OMT] 19:52, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello! There has been several threads, some archived, about which of his decorations should be mentioned where in the article, like the infobox, and if a primary source should be used. One ongoing thread is Talk:JD_Vance#Why_do_you_keep_deleting_his_medals?, and it lists some other threads. If you have an opinion, please join. In case you didn't know, JD Vance is Donald Trumps VP-candidate. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:32, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Remember Wikipedia:Ownership of content. There is consensus on the inclusion of medals yet you seem to have devoted an inordinate amount of time in pushing for undue change. Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and perhaps you could take a break from hyperediting a single article above all. There is also no need for Wikipedia:Canvassing. 73.123.180.173 (talk) 22:46, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- No, there is no consensus to include them. His awards are in the category of "was present with a pulse"; I have all of his same medals (or the Army equivalent) with the exception of the sea service medal. They're routine, run-of-the-mill awards that are handed out by the literal hundreds of thousands, and they do not belong in the infobox. Parsecboy (talk) 23:11, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- If there was consensus to include the medal, we wouldn't have like ten separate discussions on the topic. There's more discussions than Vance has medals. Cortador (talk) 09:11, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

- Anyone know why this pic isn't showing at [1]? Regards Keith-264 (talk) 17:01, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- "error on line 31943 at column 21: Namespace prefix sodipodi for type on path is not defined". What does that mean? I've no idea. You've reached the end of my use in this! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:07, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Along the lines of Pickersgill-Cunliffe, I'm thinking there's an issue with the original svg file. I can't see it on Commons, and when I download it I see the same line 31943 etc. error. Weirdly, I can see the svg's Spanish translation. Ed [talk] [OMT] 19:27, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Any Holy Roman / Frederick Barbarossa fans around here?
[edit]I've just tagged a bunch of statements in Frederick Barbarossa's lead as either not being supported in/contradicting the body, not being verified in the body, or being absolutely ridiculous (one sentence says he was "almost superhuman" .......). Does anyone have the resources to be able to address the article's issues? See also Talk:Frederick Barbarossa#Problems with the lead. Ed [talk] [OMT] 19:14, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
