should not the title be italicized, since the page is about a word. Other pages about words (see:You, Faggot (slang), I (pronoun), etc.) have their titles in italics, so shouldn't that be the case here as well? |

In 2022 the term "tankie" is sometimes used for those leftists who support the Russian invasion of Ukraine (such as by Hungarian YouTuber Adam Something). Maybe this use isn't frequent enough yet to be mentioned in this article. ] (]) 20:00, 17 October 2022 (UTC) |

== Reliability of Sources == |
|
|

I was purusing through the article and noticed a part that seemed odd. So I looked at the sourcing, Source 10, and the title stood out as a little odd. So I decided to go to the piece in question. It is an opinion piece that has anti-Chinese misinformation in its opening paragraph that then goes on to talk about China. While the piece does have some possible uses, are there not any sources that don't open with the equivalent of blowing their foot off? Or at least something that doesn't have such an extreme bias from out of the gate? ] (]) 07:48, 4 January 2023 (UTC) |

"''Tankie'' is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies" should perhaps include the denial of atrocities, repressions and other such things by tankies. ] (]) 13:36, 24 November 2024 (UTC) |

Under the Definition section it starts with the Prague Spring (1968), but under the Usage section it states the term comes from the UK when referring to the Soviet invasion of Hungary (1956). Should there be an addition in the beginning of the Definition section that starts with the definition from British politics, or is it that the term was popularized/its definition solidified in common lexicon after the Prague Spring? ] (]) 01:36, 31 May 2023 (UTC) |
