Talk:Kristoffer Domeij

Alleged "promotional" deletion
Besides WP:I don't like it, was there a rationale for gutting the article here? This was all properly and reliably sourced. While I WP:AGF, this from a "Journeyman editor" and "reformed vandal" looks a lot like WP:Vandalism to me. I would note that the deletion of all this material was done by the same person who moved to delete the article, which failed. WP: Dead horse. Doing by indirection that which he could not achieve by direction. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Not only is this a wildly un-AGF comment, but I'm kind of concerned that an editor with 13 years of experience would be saying this. A large amount of what you added to the article was completely irrelevant to the subject and honestly was included to make the reader sympathize with him ("The 14 deployments he had were extraordinary, both in quantity and quality." "That he was cut down with his experience inflicted a loss and a psychological trauma on his unit members." "In Domeij's case, that translates to a man whom his unit commander described as "irreplaceable" – on the battlefield and in life," etc etc.) Need I go on?

 * It is relevant, but apparently not to you. YMMV.
 * That is what the multiple WP:RS sources said. I did not make it up.  WP:Verifiability not WP:Truth.
 * More importantly, that is what his fellow soldiers and the army had to say. Obelisk anyone?
 * If you remove all the content, and reduce this to 'soldier dies in war' then the article is useless and not notable for anything. And should be deleted, which is what you tried to do before. But that seems to be your modus operandi.  I don't need to speculate on your motives; the conduct speaks for itself.  Res ipsa loquitur 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 13:11, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Did you even read what I wrote as my edit summary? I did not remove content for no reason; you were making parts of the artice puffery. Your comment on how me removing this puffery was my "modus operandi" for vandalizing the article shows how unaccepting you are of anyone that criticizes you. You don't own this article now that you expanded it. Your opinion is "once a vandal, always a vandal," which is simply wrong and a one-faced way of looking at things. I won't bother you anymore, as you seem to hate me for making a good-faith edit, but I hope I won't have to encounter anyone with your level of distrust and stubborness again on this site.

 * I hope you're right. It works for everyone, doesn't it.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:20, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Feedback
This article reads a bit oddly. It doesn't provide a coherent summary of Domeij's military career, is repetitive at times, and contains opinionated language. It also seems to rely too much on quotes, which I think have contributed to the problems with opinionated language. It also beats around the bush a bit on the debate over whether 14 deployments was too many, with this not being presented in a coherent way. I've also removed some WP:PEACOCK language and some material which was vague and/or incorrect, but more could be done here. The DYK hook is also obviously factually incorrect: he set a record for the number of deployments when he commenced deployment number 13 (given the previous record was 12), not when he was killed during deployment 14.

 * I agree. I was about to write something similar. It reads like an op ed not a biography in an encyclopedia. The article lacks a chronology ie early life, career (sic military), death. In fact his passing is phrased in a one line sentence = he died with others in a roadside bomb. A rather dismissive finale to his dedication and service. Yep this is just another rubbish article written in a lazy cut and paste way. TBH wikipeda editors just stop writing and post links under article headers to create a body of knowledge, that way people can read what they choose about the topic. 81.141.32.36 (talk) 11:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Special:Contributions/81.141.32.36 If you can make this article better, please do. Remember to find and use WP:RS and cite them.  Just posting links in articles is not what we do.  Criticism is easy; making articles takes work.  In fact, this is a well sourced article, and you could actually look at what is there, and go directly to the sources; and please improve the article..  <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 14:48, 10 March 2021 (UTC)


 * The source states that "With his 14 deployments, Domeij becomes the Ranger with the most deployments to date killed in action." So the record was set when he died, not before, and the hook was correct. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Congratulations

Pronunciation?
Please provide a pronunciation for the late sergeant's name. Doh-medge perhaps? Thank you. 99.228.43.228 (talk) 00:34, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
