Talk:Mitrokhin Archive

message: I took out the sentence completely because it was an innuendo and a non-sequitur, placed in the second paragraph. It couldn't really be taken in any other way than criticism of Christopher Andrew. If it is to be in the article at all it should be explicit and be in a section on criticisms.PussBroad (talk) 20:43, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Earlier quote by Andrew

message: I don't think its appropriate for the 'disinformation topic template to appear on the bottom of this page.  it doesn't really make any sense, as the archives is not disinformation according to generally accepted scholarly opinion on the topic, and even if the KGB did in some way 'manage' the contents of the archives, the information in it has repeatedly been shown to be accurate, so disinformation doesn't really fit here.

replies: text: I'm not sure what to do. The Archive itself is not disinformation, but Mitrokhin through Andrew reported on disinformation operations. See section called "Disinformation campaign against the United States". I don't know if that means the template should be removed or if this article should be added to it. -Location (talk) 15:07, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:   That's a good point.  Although I am somewhat concerned that it could be misinterpreted as potential POV pushing? SomewhatSpurious (talk) 17:53, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  OK. I've removed it. It appears as though the template was once named ; however, it was changed as some point. I briefly looked at the edit history of the template and I couldn't figure out when. -Location (talk) 18:34, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disinformation topic template 

message: Since these Mitrokhin documents are handwritten or typed transcripts, why is it called an archive? Isn't an archive made up of primary-source documents? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:bdfb:5300:11dc:9d83:6c11:8d3c (talk) 19:17, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of the word 'archive' 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Mitrokhin Archive's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
