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?

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]
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]
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]
