Addition of category: People declared dead in absentia

Carrying over from Talk:Adolf Hitler#Death declaration. The consensus there was that this wasn't a defining characteristic of the biography article. I don't think it's so un-defining here.

While adding the category I changed the default sorting of this article to the surname Hitler, which seems to be more consistent with other articles. UpdateNerd (talk) 04:34, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The topic

The death of Hitler was first reported by the Soviets, however the evidence tells us he escaped to North America. Why is this fact and why is no one challenging this? Even Stalin disupted his death, and the bone fragments of his jaw that were found coulr have been anyones, any eye witness testimony was given by Nazi's Eck (talk) 22:46, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but what you state is only speculation, conjecture and fringe theories as to any survival past 30 April 1945. We have to base the article on the accepted facts by the WP:RS evidence and the opinions of respected historians. Otherwise, it’s WP:OR, at best. Kierzek (talk) 22:55, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any relevant info is cited on the Conspiracy theories article. The jawbone fragment is definitively, proven beyond all doubt to be Hitler's (but a DNA test would be äwesome). UpdateNerd (talk) 00:00, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Change "it became clear the Soviet Union would defeat Germany." to

"it became clear the Allies would defeat Germany." Prez 17:37, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. I went with "...after it became clear that Germany would lose the Battle of Berlin, ending World War II in Europe.". — Diannaa (talk) 19:31, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replace the "Her" Majesty's Security Service website to "His Majasty's" since Queen Elizabeth II has died September 8, 2022

Good catch; there's nothing about either majesty in the site name, at least not currently. UpdateNerd (talk) 07:34, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm yeah. But still we still need to change it.

Maybe they are going to add majasty after his coronation or something? SmileyPH12 (talk) 09:41, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: No mention of the king in the website whatsoever. https://www.mi5.gov.uk/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmileyPH12 (talk • contribs) 09:56, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No reason to change the name. It is just mi5. Kierzek (talk) 11:07, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Charlier's 2018 paper was not kept secret and was co-written by four additional researchers

Please don't cover up that it was published in May 2018 by the European Journal of Internal Medicine. I will not use this source again, as I discovered a better detailed version of the European Journal of Internal Medicine was already in the article, but this is an example of what I want to be known.[1] Sometimes, research papers are kept secret for a period of time, which is why I want it to be known that it was published by May 2018. It was also co-written by four others, which should be noted too.Speakfor23 (talk) 01:00, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not characterized as "secret" and the authors are appropriately cited. All co-authors do not need to be mentioned at every instance. UpdateNerd (talk) 01:46, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
