Martin Van Buren
I have started the Martin Van Buren now from scratch now  Requesting thread archival (why?) Bongolian (talk)

Can I please edited the Hollywood Conservatives list
Also Could we reopen it to General people again as well? It's been three years since the incident. Maybe things will be different now? &mdash; Unsigned, by: Darth Vader 180 / talk / contribs
 * You're not off to a good start with your first edit being so poorly formatted. Bongolian (talk) 19:29, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

question
is there anyway I can move/rename articles? Ernor (talk) 13:26, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Once you show that you can make reasonable edits, you may be given permission to do that. What do you want renamed? Bongolian (talk) 17:48, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * This page needs to be renamed for a new Afd: RationalWiki:Articles_for_deletion/Aurelio_J._Figueredo. Can be renamed to Aurelio_J._Figueredo (1st) (archive, or whatever). Ernor (talk) 00:39, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, done. Bongolian (talk) 00:49, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * thanks, the only other I can see is Fróði Debes. these two are poor articles of only a few lines. It's unclear how they got accepted in first place. Ernor (talk) 01:42, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, also done. Bongolian (talk) 03:44, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Indira Gandhi
Gandhi was a dictator, so was she a communist or a fascist?

Also, I have an article detailing how Putin relates to the great replacement:https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/great-replacement-theory-trump-putin-lie-b2083656.html Rational Dude (talk) 12:55, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * That's fine to add text and a reasonable citation for confirmation along with the appropriate category. Bongolian (talk) 14:33, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think Gandhi could have been called a dictator for the entirety of her career, certainly during the 1975-1977 State of Emergency though. Dictators and Dictatorships don't have to neatly fall into communist or fascist categories. Bongolian (talk) 15:13, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright. Also, I removed atheophobia from the page for the right stuff because it wasn't explained why in the article or sourced. Rational Dude (talk) 17:32, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Putin
Why do you keep undoing my edit on Putin? He is a world war 3 edgelord by annexing territory and sending forces to fight. It's a half serious/half joking heading. Rational Dude (talk) 17:41, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Your section title does not encapsulate the contents of that section: edgelord ("a person who affects a provocative or extreme persona, especially online"), i.e. someone hiding behind an anonymous persona trying to provoke. The contents are about Putin's imperialist ambitions. He is not hiding, everyone knows who he is. He is not trying to provoke, he is now actively trying to commit genocide. And by the period of time in the section (2021-2022), Putin had already seized part of Ukraine (Donbas/Luhansk and Crimea in 2014) in what we now know was a prelude to the full-scale invasion. Bongolian (talk) 17:53, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * "World war 3 edgelord" is a joke reference to John Oliver's show on Putin in last week tonight. Rational Dude (talk) 18:42, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Which isn't even cited on the page as far as I can see. Bongolian (talk) 19:05, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Should I cite it in the paragraph? Rational Dude (talk) 19:07, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * What's the full quote? Bongolian (talk) 19:43, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Here's the full quote and the source:“As we are all now painfully aware, Vladimir Putin, Russian president and World War III edgelord, began an assault on the second-largest country in Europe this week, shelling several cities and sending troops across the border. It has been horrifying to watch, and CNN, during its coverage of air raid sirens in Kyiv, somehow found a way to make it even worse with this terrible transition to break.” Rational Dude (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * It's reasonable for a quote. I still don't think edgelord should be in the section title though. Bongolian (talk) 22:20, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Very well. Where and how may I put it in the paragraph? Rational Dude (talk) 22:38, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Unless you can figure out how it would flow with the surrounding text, I'd put it at the top. Bongolian (talk) 22:48, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of putting it as a quote above the paragraph but below the header. Rational Dude (talk) 22:52, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * OK. Bongolian (talk) 23:26, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Alt history collab essay
Am I allowed to make a collaborative essay for alternate history scenarios? Rational Dude (talk) 22:03, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course. Bongolian (talk) 22:26, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Rational Dude (talk) 23:10, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
