Trịnh Tố Tâm advice

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)

"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?

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)

Royal Australian Navy 1940 question

Did the RAN have a version of this {{navy|UKGBI}} in 1940? Thanks Keith-264 (talk) 15:51, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

This might be a question for Nick-D or Sturmvogel 66? Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 18:08, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

What like Template:Country data Australia? But be advised that I have no idea about which Australian flags might have been adopted when.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:30, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

I happened to write New Zealand White Ensign a few years ago; they adopted their own ensign in 1968, prior to this using the RN ensign. The Australian version is at Australian white ensign and was adopted in 1967. The reason for the change being that ships fighting in the Vietnam War were otherwise doing so effectively under the flag of a non-belligerent state - Dumelow (talk) 19:57, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I found that but it would be an anachronism; it's the RN ensign then. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 20:31, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
