Question: is "defuze" a correct spelling?
in the first paragraph of the section, "Air Attacks", it says:
"In the landing zone, the limitations of the British ships' anti-aircraft defences were demonstrated in the sinking of HMS Ardent on 21 May which was hit by nine bombs,[126] and HMS Antelope on 24 May when attempts to defuze unexploded bombs failed.[127] Out at sea with the carrier battle group, MV Atlantic Conveyor...."
Is this deliberate? Google seems to recognize this spelling of the word "defuse", but Ive never heard of it. INSANITYISAVIRTUE (talk) 01:45, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think this has come up before although I can't remember where. I too think it odd and without a good reason not to I would use defuse not defuze. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 04:34, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
Why is there so much disparity between the Spanish text and the English text?
It would be a good idea to rewrite the given information about this conflict as objective and factional as possible, correcting both texts English and Spanish. In order to avoid confusion and misinformation to readers. 64.140.144.49 (talk) 06:50, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- The English and Spanish language Wikipedias are separate, and don't need to agree with each other. The Spanish language Wikipedia's coverage of the Falklands War is likely dominated by Argentines. The general consensus in the literature is that Argentine sources need to be used with care as they often contain myths. Many English language sources going back to the 1980s have drawn on interviews with Argentine veterans and consulted Spanish language sources. I think that it's fair to say that there aren't any definitive histories of the war at present though. Nick-D (talk) 10:19, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
What just happened
I came into the article, and I saw a slight error in starting a sentence: a paragraph started with space, which caused text to be pixelated and encased inside a box. I corrected it, but then I realized that the entire lede was written as if it were a history of the archipelago, instead of an introduction to a page describing a war. I can't find a way to revert it back to a previous edit, can somebody look into it, please? GabMen20 (talk) 13:30, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
