Documentary film

Romualdas Marcinkus was a great man of Lithuania. There is a documental film about his life --86.100.205.18 (talk) 12:35, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is the film to which you refer the one already included in the article in the "Commemoration" section or is it a different film. If it is a different film do you have any sources? Dpmuk (talk) 23:31, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK, there is one film and it is already mentioned in article. M.K. (talk) 18:18, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV tag

I've removed this tag from the article as I believe it was added inappropriately. The only issue appears to be an issue over Gdansk/Danzig. I don't believe this warrants a NPOV tag as according to the documentation for the template "The purpose of this group of templates is to attract editors with different viewpoints to edit articles that need additional insight. This template should not be used as a badge of shame.". Given that we don't need to attract editors, as a decision has already been made of the issue, a NPOV tag does not seem necessary, and indeed gives the impression of it being used as a badge of shame. Additionally there appears to be no on-going dispute, it would seem likely that the page creator was simply not aware of the issue - if the placer is unhappy make the appropriate changes and see if a dispute actually happens. I also believe it is inappropriate to use the NPOV tag for the whole article for such a minor part of it.

I would also have thought it would have been easier for the editor who placed the tag just to make the appropriate change. Reading Talk:Gdansk/Vote it would seem the only way this article doesn't follow the vote is in not cross-naming as Danzig is the appropriate name throughout the article as all events fall in the period 17943-1945. I will go and fix the cross-naming now. Dpmuk (talk) 12:50, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chronological inaccuracy

In its introduction the article states he joined the French Air Force after the Soviet occupation of Lithuania however, as Soviet forces only moved into the Baltic states on 15-16 June of 1940, that event was a few months after he arrived in France in March. I will modify the reference to reflect the chronology.Cloptonson (talk) 21:40, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
