Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher

WikiProject Cold War,

Article: Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher

I have started a discussion on when he possibly entered the United States. I would like feedback on this and other information because I have been adding information, sources/references, etc on a subpage of mine concerning Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher article. If the article has not been changed since I copied it to my subpage, all the changes I made on my subpage concerning Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher article will be pasted into his main Misplaced Pages article which is located above. Feedback on any of the discussions on the talkpage is welcomed. Adamdaley (talk) 04:48, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Author picture

I would like to add a picture to the article for Pat Frank, author of the Cold War classic Alas, Babylon. However, I am not seeing on on Commons and I am not sure about the fair use aspects of using the picture of the author from other sources.

Any help would be great. Thank you. --Surv1v4l1st 02:02, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Free World

The page Free World was nominated for deletion; consensus was to keep the article. But as was pointed out at AfD, the content needs pruning and clean-up. The main concept discussed is the US Cold War notion of the "Free World" as anti-communist states. However, the page includes discussion of other loosely-related or non-related conceptions of freedom, possibly in violation of WP:DICTIONARY. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to undertake the clean-up myself (though I did merge content from Leader of the Free World after that page was also discussed for deletion). I hope members of this WikiProject might have a look at the page and undertake to improve it. Thanks, Cnilep (talk) 05:13, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Syngman Rhee

I've been doing some work on the Syngman Rhee article - mostly grammatical/mechanical cleanup, but I've also been trying to make it sound a little more neutral. There are places, however, where I think the neutrality could still use significant improvement. I think part of the reason I'm having trouble with the neutrality of it is because there are "facts" in the article that I can't, in good faith, simply delete, but which need some references and outside sources to be substantiated. I've gone through the article and added CN tags, but I'm having a hard time finding references (I'll keep looking, of course). If someone could add some more references and inline citations to the article, I think it would be a drastic improvement. Thanks. Sleddog116 (talk) 22:19, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

RfC: East Germany - Satellite state of the USSR or not

Discussion at Talk:East Germany#Satellite state of the USSR or not

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:East Germany#Satellite state of the USSR or not. Should this article describe East Germany (the former German Democratic Republic) as a satellite state of the former USSR?"" Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:00, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Template:Z48

Category:Cold War

Category:Cold War needs to be sorted out. A category with over 400 disparate articles in not of a lot of use. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 06:06, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Belgian uranium for Sovjet Atomic Bomb Project?

hello,

I read in the item "Sovjet Atomic Bomb Project" :

The single largest problem during the early Soviet project was the procurement of uranium ore, as the USSR had no known domestic sources at the beginning of the project. The Soviet F-1 reactor, which began operation in December 1946, was fueled using uranium confiscated from the remains of the German atomic bomb project. This uranium had been mined in the Belgian Congo, and had fallen into the hands of the Germans after their invasion and occupation of Belgium in 1940

So uranium mined in the Belgian Congo would have been used by the Sovjets for there first reactor? I did some research about this, but I could not find confirmation. Does anyone know the source of this information..?

Thank you Nice greetings, Luc B. Brussels — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.21.244.165 (talk) 10:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Cold War will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in within the Cold War. We've created an event page on English Misplaced Pages (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 20:33, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Supreme Commander of the Unified Armed Forces of the Warsaw Treaty Organization

The title should be Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Armed Forces....

The Soviet General Secretary was the Supreme CINC (verkhglavkom). The Soviet Marshal was "only" a Commander-in-Chief (glavkom) Gwgoldb (talk) 17:46, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

DEWLINE, 398TH T Bn, 4th Trans Command, Ft Eustis, Va.

The 398th Trns Bn, made up of several Transportation companies, was one of the major units that was training personnel for loading/off loading of Army Ships for the DEWLINE OPERATION. The article referred to personnel from the Transportation Command, but did not use unit designations. The period of Time for the 398th T Bn was Feb 56 thru Mid 57, then was inactivated upon completion of training, and dispersement of troops to the DEWLINE Sites.

Were the clashes between Libya and the United States Part of the Cold War

Should we classify the conflicts listed on Template:Campaignbox Libya-US (minus the 2011 bombing of Libya) as being part of the Cold War? Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 00:29, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Input required at Talk:Alger Hiss

A couple of editors have been edit warring over some specific wording in the lead of Alger Hiss. For the most part it appears the content dispute relates to the reliability of and weight to be given to specific sources. The editors are now trying to craft an RFC to address the content dispute in a rational manner. Input from interested parties in this project would be useful. --Mike Cline (talk) 15:06, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
