3rd paragraph bad grammar; "rose to leader of the USSR"

idk sorry just has bad grammar 24.51.232.181 (talk) 13:35, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Typo in Espionage section; period should be a comma

In the Espionage section, the paragraph/sentence that begins, "According to historian Robert L. Benson..." should have a comma after "messages" instead of a period. Micahwierenga (talk) 14:45, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Category:United States History articles with to-do lists

I found this page through the category. I guess it used to have the template? (WP:TODO) This currently had a to do list page(Talk:Cold War/to do) - admittedly at the moment very sloppy. Maybe I would suggest near-blanking out the page and seeking consensual tasks? (alternatively maybe removing this page from the category?) User:Dwarf Kirlston - talk 04:50, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

First Cold War

Should we not be considering renaming this article as the First Cold War, since it seems quite apparent that the Second Cold War is already well under way? Guinness2702 (talk) 14:34, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:We should not, because reliable sources have not consistently and confidently (i.e. not in the manner of asking the same question you did) described the current global political situation as such. There have been so many "is this the Second Cold War" questions raised since 1991. Yue🌙 18:17, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:Multiple historians contend the Cold War never ended. There was a thaw during the 1990s under Yeltsin, before the conflict revived in full. HerbGowan (talk) 20:21, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

::Individual historians say a lot of things. We reflect the body of reliable sources as a whole, ideally with each point of view and aspect treated proportionately to its attestation in said body of sources. Remsense ‥ 论 20:26, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Short video sequence showing the EU’s growth in the ‘Influence’ part of this article

The video sequence consists out of singular images, showing the gradual growth of the European Union. Considering that the UK has left the EU, should another image be added to that video? One in which the UK is not shown to be part of the EU any longer? SapphireElixir (talk) 10:59, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

In popular culture section

It is silly that this section talks only about one source of media and does so in greater detail than needed. Why does this section focus only on “the Americans”. It should either be deleted or more references added. Tom Clancy/jack Ryan Hunt for Red October, Alvin and the Chipmunks when they were at the Berlin Wall, heck, even Top Gun is Cold War media!

Can some one fix this

Edit: I’ve thought some more, “Bridge of Spies” with Tom Hanks, “Red Dawn” and even the Tetris movie that came out a few years ago. This list is so long, why one show is referenced seems like someone at the studio had authorship rights here.

:I have removed the reference. The link to Culture during the Cold War is sufficient. The Banner talk 14:14, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
