Propaganda Jargon

[edit]

The early part of the biography smells a bit like BS. Typical propaganda jargon from the period. Can we please remove that? After all Gagarin can't talk back any longer. 105.4.6.55 (talk) 10:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. That's both a blessing and a curse. To avoid having an edit like the one you suggest reverted, justifying it here with e.g. WP:NPOV would be a good approach. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 11:13, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correction for the date of birth

He was born at 1937 not 1934 2A04:241A:8400:980:79B1:C2A2:F41A:48A1 (talk) 15:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Britannica says 1934, as does the European Space Agency, and Purdue University and New Scientist, etc. etc. What's your source? Thanks Martinevans123 (talk) 15:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
