Talk:Killing Patton
 | This article has not yet been rated on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. |
First section[edit]
I think it needs to be established that this is a work of fiction about actual events. In no way can it be non-fiction because of the diliberate use of facts out of context. The book also uses real facts, but then attributes false or misleading motives to the actors to elicit a point of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.157.160.12 (talk • contribs) 13:04, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
NPOV[edit]
How absurd that a section I added about General Donovan was removed for not being a "neutral point of view." As if O'Reilly's views are "neutral." Who edits this Wikipedia page? Bill O'Reilly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.123.164 (talk) 13:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Irrelevance[edit]
Please explain how providing a link to a report showing unequivocally that General Patton's death was caused by an automobile accident and not the result of paranoid conspiracy theory is "irrelevant to the article"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.123.164 (talk) 02:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- It's about the book. But I doubt you got unequivocal proof for 'no assassination'. 105.0.3.177 (talk) 13:13, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Irrelevance[edit]
Let's remember this is an article about the book, not about Patton. The point of this article is not to dispute or approve O'Reilly's hypothesis (to which, incidentally, he has a right), it's simply to present and describe the book and its contents. All you O'Reilly haters can sit and stew over a beer at the nearest pub, but this article ABOUT A BOOK, is not the place to spew your hatred of conservatives, Fox News, or any theory of Patton's death that does not hew to the current received wisdom.2600:100D:B10D:6E30:8868:986B:D032:548A (talk) 01:37, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- There has been controversy around the book, and referencing that controversy here is appropriate. -- Pemilligan (talk) 15:06, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
Sales[edit]
It appears that this was the best-selling non-fiction book of 2014 and even Wiktionary describes a tome as "A large or scholarly book" which obviously doesn't apply to the 4 novels with more sales. 65.130.207.193 (talk) 02:36, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
