Talk:American Revolutionary War
| The issue of using the terms mercenaries v auxiliaries in reference to Hessian soldier has once again come to the ARW Talk page. To achieve a lasting neutrality it has been suggested that we remove all usages of both auxiliaries and mercenaries, and just refer to the German soldiers as Hessian soldiers in a strictly neutral fashion. To help clarify matters we would include a footnote after the first usage of Hessian (soldier) (see proposed footnote directly above) which simply points out that historians often use the two terms interchangeably, while others use either term and offer facts and ideas that lend support to both auxiliaries and mercenaries. As this debate has occurred many times over the last several years, with no lasting agreement, it would seem this is the best way to put this issue to rest and come up with an article that doesn't leave half the readership disappointed or wondering about the integrity of WP editors. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 22:27, 19 April 2022 (UTC) |

Talk:Hypothetical Axis victory in World War II
| Objections arose after the removal of the map per WP:OR. Several maps were also proposed, as well as no map at all. Two questions: (1) Is original research tolerable in this context? (2) Which map, if any, would be appropriate?--Sapphorain (talk) 11:25, 5 April 2022 (UTC) |
| Should the infobox line for religion be omitted from this page, as with other major religious figures (two useful parallels being the pages for Jesus and Muhammad), given the inherent ambiguities in defining the religion of a 'founding' individual? (Not least since their upbringing will always have taken place in the context of a different corpus of belief and practice to that which they ultimately adopted.)
