Bolivia edit
I've just read that the Virgin Mary is officially recognised as an "Admiral of the Bolivian Navy", and was formally crowned in 1925 as "Queen of the Bolivian Republic". I know it sounds absurd, but I'm not making this up. It's from a newspaper article ("Virgin on the miraculous", about Copacabana, Bolivia, by Campbell Smith, in The Age, 3 July 2004). Is there any truth to this? -- JackofOz 04:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
References edit
I think many of the patronages listed here are correct, but they lack references. Yet I am sure some were added by IPs here and there, and may not be correct, so in time this needs to be reference checked. History2007 (talk) 23:21, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- How do we know if this edit was correct? I do not even know if we can have any chance of verifying these patronages. So what is to be done? Only three realistic options:
- Shrug our shoulders and say: someone will check it in a few years. In effect accepting totally unverified info in Wikipedia.
- Put some type of requirement that unless something is ref checked it does not go in after now. I do not know what policy there is for this, except revert/revert.
- Delete all the ones without references (namely 95%) and go from there.
- Suggestions? Thanks. History2007 (talk) 12:19, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
