Pieces I've written
[edit]My view on Edit Wars (OPINION. Written on November 30, 2024. Completed on December 1, 2024)
[edit]I don't support edit wars. It makes Wikipedia gloomy for the editors (old and new):
- Some were on the news, as indicated in this article.
- Others did not get reported, for example:
- whether The Love Album: Off the Grid is Diddy's last album (due to the accusations against him)
- whether Robert Wagner killed Natalie Wood or not.
Screenshot of the latter can be seen here (it was taken on Nov 30, 2024):
Later, at 14:23 PM (GMT) the same day (November 30) - the word murdered[NOTE 1] was removed. Why?
HERE IS THE ANSWER ~ Natalie Wood's cause of death is disputed, as indicated in the following:
- Natalie Wood#Death
- Robert Wagner#Death of Natalie Wood
- Christopher Walken#Personal life - in the last paragraph of the section
- List of unsolved deaths#1975–1989
People are victims to sensationalism these days, as seen in the People article talking about Natalie Wood's death[1], often coming to this conclusion (sadly accepted): Robert Wagner murdered her - when THERE IS NO confirmation. I believe Donald Trump is a likely supporter of the murder theory[NOTE 2], as with other theories - all to be found misleading; deceptive; unsolved or just 'blatant disinformation'. But PEOPLE keep believing in them, thanks to sensationalism.
If Trump makes such statements about the deaths of Natalie Wood or Marilyn Monroe - it would not be surprising, given his nature. Marilyn Monroe's tragic and shocking death in 1962 is subject to various conspiracy theories already - long before Trump started his own theories on other things. Again, if he airs his views on Natalie Wood and Marilyn Monroe's respective deaths, it will remind me of the controversy of his friend, Jeffrey Epstein's death, many people thought (some still do) he was murdered too.
How to prevent Edit Wars
[edit]Please - cite reliable sources. Sources like the Daily Mail and Breitbart News are banned from Wikipedia - they CANNOT (in any circumstance) be added into an article. See in their articles for more info.:
- Why Wikipedia banned the Daily Mail as a source around February 2017
- Why Wikipedia banned Breitbart News as a source around September 2018
Conclusion
[edit]Don't succumb to misinformation - especially if you ARE a Wikipedia editor like me.

Notes for My view on Edit Wars piece
[edit]- [NOTE 1]: Since c. 2010-2012; Robert Wagner's reputation as a respected actor has been largely destroyed by alleged suspension/guilt over his wife's death. Despite this, he still has loyal fans (including me; who learnt more about both Wagner and Wood - sans controversy of Wood's death - in 2023).
- [NOTE 2]: There is no public evidence of Donald Trump supporting the theory.
Everyone whose death is controversial (Written on January 21, 2025)
[edit]Here are some controversial deaths and my view:
- Zachary Taylor (1850) - natural causes. For the assassination theories, go here.
- My Opinion: He passed away from natural causes. However, it does not really interest me.
- Louis Le Prince (1890) - likely drowned.
- My Opinion: We will never know what really happened to him.
- Lord Kitchener (1916) - lost at sea (?). See Conspiracy theories surronding his death.
- My Opinion: We will never know what really happened to him.
- Tom Thomson (1917) - see Death and legacy of Tom Thomson.

- Władysław Sikorski (1943) - see Władysław Sikorski's death controversy
- My Opinion: We will never know what really happened to him.
- Benito Mussolini (1945) - hanged. For the theories, see Death of Benito Mussolini.
- My Opinion: It does not really interest me.
- Adolf Hitler (1945) - suicide. For the theories, see Death of Adolf Hitler.
- My Opinion: I don't support the theories, but I do endorse the official findings.
- Subhas Chandra Bose (1945) - plane crash (?). Read Death of Subhas Chandra Bose for more information.
- My Opinion: It was a plane crash.
- Johnny Stompanato (1958) - killed. Read Johnny Stompanato homicide for more information.
- My Opinion: I am not very educated on this case, so I do not have anything to say.
- Marilyn Monroe (1962) - see Death of Marilyn Monroe.
- My Opinion: We will never know what really happened to her.
- John F. Kennedy (1963) - assassination. Despite it being solved, conspiracy theories have spawned. For the theories, see John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories.
- My Opinion: I don't support the theories.
- Lee Harvey Oswald (1963) - shot. Despite it being solved, conspiracy theories have spawned.
- My Opinion: I don't support the theories.
- Malcolm X (1965) - assassination. The people who shot him are disputed.
- My Opinion: I hope this case is solved.
- Lal Bahadur Shastri (1966) - heart attack, though some have refused to believe the circumstances of his death, instead alleging foul play.
- My Opinion: I do not have an official opinion on this case.
- Harold Holt (1967) - likely drowned. See Disappearance of Harold Holt.
- My Opinion: It was likely he did drown, poor thing :/
- Martin Luther King Jr. (1968) - assassination. Despite it being solved, conspiracy theories have spawned.
- My Opinion: It doesn't bother me.
- Robert F. Kennedy (1968) - assassination. Despite it being solved, conspiracy theories have spawned. For the theories, see Robert F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories.
- My Opinion: It doesn't bother me.
- Salvador Allende (1973) - suicide. For the theories, see Death of Salvador Allende.
- My Opinion: It doesn't bother me.
- Aldo Moro (1978) - kidnapped and then murdered.
- My Opinion: I don't support the theories.

- Pope John Paul I (1978) - heart attack. For the theories, see Pope John Paul I conspiracy theories.
- My Opinion: I don't support the theories.
- Airey Neave (1979) - assassination.
- My Opinion: I don't support the theories.
- Natalie Wood (1981) - drowned, though some people (including her sister Lana) claim she was murdered by Robert Wagner and/or Christopher Walken. Some of her family members and (probably) friends, most notably Robert Wagner and their daughters (including Natasha), do not support the theory she was killed.
- My Opinion: I support the original findings: she died accidentally. Opening the investigation in 2011 was all a big mistake. Instead of focusing on her death, why not celebrate Wood; Wagner and Walken's careers? The men did nothing wrong. Innocent until proven guilty is an excellent example for this case.
- Olof Palme (1986) - assassination. His murderer is unknown.
- My Opinion: I hope this case is solved.
- Zia-ul-Haq (1988) - plane crash. See Death of Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq.

- GEC-Marconi scientists (1980s–90s)

- Turgut Özal (1993) - heart attack, which is seen as suspicious.
- My Opinion: I am not very educated on this case, so I do not have anything to say.
- Vince Foster (1993) - suicide, though some people say he was murdered.
- My Opinion: I don't support the theories.
- Kurt Cobain (1994) - suicide, though some people say he was murdered. Most of his family members and friends do not support the theory he was killed.
- My Opinion: I don't support the theories. Instead of focusing on his death, why not celebrate his career?
- Yitzhak Rabin (1995) - assassination. For the theories, see Yitzhak Rabin assassination conspiracy theories.
- My Opinion: I don't support the theories.
- Diana, Princess of Wales (1997) - car accident. For the theories, see Conspiracy theories about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
- My Opinion: I support the original findings. Seeing it as something else is all a big mistake. Instead of focusing on her death, why not celebrate Diana's achievements? The Royal Family did nothing wrong. Innocent until proven guilty is an excellent example for this case as well.
- Alois Estermann (1998) - murder. Despite it being solved, conspiracy theories have spawned.
- My Opinion: I am not very educated on this case, so I do not have anything to say.
- Nepalese royal family massacre (2001)

A Complete List of Reactions to the Death of Jimmy Carter
[edit]These three paragraphs are an excerpt from Death and state funeral of Jimmy Carter - Reactions.
President Joe Biden stated that "America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian", and president-elect Donald Trump said Carter "did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans."[4] In an address from Saint Croix in the United States Virgin Islands, Biden said that Carter was a "remarkable leader".[5] Former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton paid tribute to Carter, as did former vice president Al Gore.[6][7] Senator Bernie Sanders, for whom Carter voted during the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries, stated that "Jimmy Carter, both for what he did as president and in his later years, will be remembered as a decent, honest and down-to-earth man."[8][9] Across Georgia's political landscape, his death was also mourned by Governor Brian Kemp, former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler, the state's congressional delegation and many others by both Republicans and Democrats in Georgia. Delta Air Lines, operating its largest hub in Atlanta, also reacted to Carter's death, lauding his past life.[10]
Internationally, Carter's death was mourned by Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, King Charles III of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, British prime minister Keir Starmer,[11] Italian president Sergio Mattarella, Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel, Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, French president Emmanuel Macron, German chancellor Olaf Scholz, Bangladeshi chief advisor Muhammad Yunus, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, Israeli president Isaac Herzog, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba, Panamanian president José Raúl Mulino, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Pope Francis, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese, Chinese president Xi Jinping, Dutch prime minister Dick Schoof, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, European Council president António Costa, Maldivian president Mohamed Muizzu, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, Philippine president Bongbong Marcos, Tanzanian president Samia Suluhu Hassan, South African president Cyril Ramaphosa, and Vietnamese president Lương Cường.
Unlike other reactions, Iranian state television's coverage of Carter's death characterized him as the "architect of economic sanctions" and remarked on his "failure" to "properly deal with Iran". A moment of silence was held for Carter at the United Nations Security Council on December 30.
The following paragraph is from my own words.
Former governor of Massachusetts Michael Dukakis reflected on Jimmy Carter, calling him "a guy of real integrity".[12]
Sadly, I was too lazy to add more references here. Will do it later.
