Would you be willing to read my article Solid South, which I've written most of by this point? I genuinely think it has the potential to be one of the best articles on Wikipedia, though it will likely take me months to further improve it. I've become an expert on the political history, from the time of Reconstruction to modern political history.

It's my masterpiece article on Wikipedia, although I do edit the articles for the two major political parties. I've spent over a year sourcing, editing, and expanding the article on the political history of the Southern United States from after the Civil War to the present day.

Hi Paul. Could you perhaps lend me a hand with verifying Henri Burda's date of death? I've only been able to find it at footballdatabase.eu and Transfermarkt, two sources we consider unreliable. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 11:29, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

: {{re|Robby.is.on}} I'm so sorry I missed this. I would have recommended a government website called [https://deces.matchid.io/search matchID], but no results came up on [https://deces.matchid.io/search?q=Burda+Henri the search]. This indicates he died before 1970, since the website records deaths of French citizens and residents since that year. I saw that [https://www.footballdatabase.eu/fr/joueur/details/66919-henri-burda#google_vignette FootballDatabase.eu] states his death to be 29 October 1965, which is what I believe the French Wikipedia is going off of. I'm trying to find other sources or ways to verify this but this is all I have right now. If you can find what commune he died in, I can verify the date of death.

:: I searched the municipal archives of Châteauroux, but was unable to access his death certificate. I did find that he obtained a construction permit in 1965, so he definitely died between 1965 and 1970. Can't get an official source to confirm his death date right now.
