Talk:Léon Degrelle

message: Hi,
I've previously read the french wiki of Degrelle, and I've seen he didn't continue its studies after the two first years and didn't obtain a BA. More, I have nowhere seen that he had a doctorate in law, even if he began a cursus in law.
I think you have to verify this information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.189.67.117 (talk) 07:06, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Because of the historical link and geographic distance between Great Britain and Belgium, and prior experience with Belgium articles, I think we should adopt British English and convert what's there now into that dialect. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 06:18, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that there's a strong connection to a local version of english here: the article does not currently mention the UK at all. It does already use dmy dates consistently, but I think it should use the established spelling . I use US spelling and dmy dates for most of my articles because that's what I like but have no objection to British spelling either. (t · c) buidhe 06:22, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

message: This ABC news article states: "«Si tuviese un hijo, me gustaría que fuese como usted», le dijo Adolf Hitler a León Degrelle en agosto de 1944, durante la entrega de la Cruz de Caballero con Hojas de Roble –Ritterkreutz–, un distintivo militar único en el III Reich." ABC is very reliable as a news outlet but it doesn't state where this claim comes from or what the support is besides Degrelle's own claim. Can we confirm this?

replies: text: I myself cannot substantiate this with any *legitimate* sources. Degrelle, however, wrote about it and was quoted about it in this article until two days ago. IIRC Hitler is also supposed to have said pretty much the same thing to Hartmann and Rudel, which hardens my stance even further against even including it. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 21:44, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

message: Now that the article has gone to GAN, I'm checking the licensing of the images.
*:File:Léon Degrelle portrait.jpg may well be PD in Poland, but there's no indication that Poland is the source country of the image. Other likely possibilities (Belgium, Germany) have stricter copyright laws for photographs.
*:File:Propaganda from Waffen-SS. SS-Division blindee "Wallonie" leader Leon Degrelle.jpg unlikely to be PD-US
*:File:Léon Degrelle à Charleroi - 02.jpg no publication at least 70 years ago is listed. Even if it was published that long ago, it wouldn't be PD-US. (t · c) buidhe 20:05, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: just a heads up in case you missed this, it does have to be solved for the GAN to pass. (t · c) buidhe 08:39, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for the ping. If the Charleroi picture isn't kosher, would that mean the San Sebastian picture is also no good? –♠Vami_IV†♠ 08:52, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The San Sebastian one is clearly not public domain as there is a known photographer who died in 2016. But it should be OK as it was released under a free license by a legitimate archive that apparently owns the rights to it. (t · c) buidhe 12:16, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that's good. The other cases make me very sad, though. I hate image copyright and I'm not good at source-hunting for these things. I'll scrap them the problem images from the article. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 13:07, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  What about this image, from Commons? --K.e.coffman (talk) 13:18, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

message: Excellent work on this article. It and Rexist Party have been on my hitlist for years without, I am ashamed to say, anything really coming of it. I thought I would add some drive-by comments here, ahead of the GA process:
* Degrelle's journalistic career could use more work. In particular, his reports for the Catholic press from Mexico were very significant in forming his reputation.
** Working on that... by which I mean finding reliable sources I can access to read and then write about this. But, once I do find and obtain material for this, I'll definitely write about Degrelle's time with the Cristeros.
* The "In the Wehrmacht" section reads as slightly confused. Can it be clarified?
** Yes. I'll get on it. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 23:28, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: *, thanks for this. I have a copy of Léon Degrelle et l'aventure rexiste (1927-1940) but it'll be a few weeks before I can add much to it.—Brigade Piron (talk) 11:06, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: * That is positively music to my ears, delay or no. If you can speak French, I also haven't fully investigated Willequet 1967, and there are lots of French books and journals I didn't use because I can't access them. –♠Vami_IV†♠ 13:05, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  although I can understand you removed all the books/chapters Degrelle wrote, I do think you need to mention it somewhere. He was a pretty active writer and you should mention this. At least note somewhere he was very active as a propaganda writer or something like this.Garnhami (talk) 13:27, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

message: According to Muere Teodulfo Lagunero, el “millonario rojo” que trajo a Carrillo de incógnito y con peluca :
:Ejerció como abogado defensor del fascias León Degrelle.
Can you provide a better reference to change the article to something like:
:which Degrelle's lawyer your ref dismissed by stating that Friedman lacked
?
