Painter in lede

@Dianaa, Herr Hitler’s paintings have a dedicated article and, at least in the 2010s, regularly sold for tens or hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars. My edit added a single clause - not even a sentence - to the lede mentioning this. Why is his time as a painter unworthy of less than a sentence in the lede of the article? Asperthrow (talk) 01:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The lead is a summary of an article's most important contents. Hitler's painting gets only the briefest of mentions in the article, and thus does not belong in the lead in my opinion. — Diannaa (talk) 02:10, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded - managing a five-paragraph lead here is a considerable achievement. It's been done by focussing on the absolutely key essentials. Hitler's (the "Herr" seems crass to me) paintings are rightly not among these. KJP1 (talk) 13:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. The lead is long enough as it is presently. The painting aspect is not noteworthy enough for the lead. Kierzek (talk) 14:20, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article contains propaganda and invalid sources, such as a "The Guardian" article

"His father beat him, although his mother tried to protect him." If this journal exists, we're taking a MSM article's word on Adolf Hitler's family dynamics. This does not belong on this website; please confirm and remove this if no better source is found. Protect the integrity of this website and do a better job on this page, everyone. Note: only Extended Confirmed Users can edit this, so I can only say something about this. CazadorDeLobo (talk) 06:27, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am confused, are you challenging the Guardian as an RS or MSM? Slatersteven (talk) 10:29, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you have some properly referenced source giving a date different from that very widely accepted, you should first say what it is, with appropriate citations, here on the Talk page.Sbishop (talk) 11:29, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done To change the date of death of this well known historical figure of whom much has been documented, you will need to tell us what you think it should be changed to, and offer the reliable sources you have to support your claim and why they differ from others. 331dot (talk) 11:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
