New definition of Fascism[edit]

In a recent article, an author uses a definition of fascism developed by the writer and retired businessman, Laurence Britt. To develop his theory, Britt compared the regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Salazar, George Papadopoulos and Suharto, all of which he deemed fascist. Can we now accept this new definition and change this article to reflect its findings? Please discuss at WP:RSN#Proud Boys. Note that while the source is used to label the Proud Boys as fascist, it could also be used as a source for other articles if it is deemed reliable. TFD (talk) 23:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Killings?[edit]

I have read elsewhere that Suharto was responsible for literally millions of deaths of Indonesian people.

But I cannot find that fact mentioned anywhere in this article.

Why? 2601:200:C000:1A0:494:DE11:8C09:9B16 (talk) 15:47, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide verifcation from a reliable source. Peaceray (talk) 19:49, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am no expert, but 30 seconds of googling led to many websites, like this one:

It is true that he did that, I think it's mentioned in the article. Khalif Ali Husain the Third (talk) 03:05, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait[edit]

Why do people keep changing his portrait with 1998 one?

If you are doing this, please stop, and reach consensus here in the talk page first.

Khalif Ali Husain the Third (talk) 08:08, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The 1998 portrait is simply more suitable; it shows what he looked like in the majority of news broadcasts and books etc. from when his regime first came to light. Also, most other political figures generally have their portraits from their last term or even after their terms ended, for example Margaret Thatcher or Barack Obama. Surely the same applies here?

infobox honourific titles[edit]

a wikipedia editor had removed his title of General on the top of the infobox stating that it doesn't fit with wikipedia's standards, yet we can see it on infoboxes belonging to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min_Aung_Hlaing , why is it a different case here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mordhau (talk • contribs) 16:54, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
