Talk:Lie

Suggestion: Discussion or inclusion of the topic of "gaslighting"
Under the "Types and associated terms" section, there seems to be a lack of discussion around the aspect of gaslighting, where false or untrue narratives are presented to the other person(s) which often makes them question their own reality or truth. I feel this is a unique and important form of lying which is not currently in this section. Antiquetwerp (talk) 02:28, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Image
I remember distinctly that the lead image for this article was Pinocchio.

Can someone please give me good reason as to why this was changed? This was a good, international, nonverbal representation of the concept at hand.

Now, it is a singer who is popular for the 2024 Eurovision.

I don't find this very sensible. — Urro[ talk ] [ edits ] ⋮ 02:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

 * I have changed it back. I wanted to give the article more currency and relevance to the present day, but your point about Pinocchio is valid. LeetToTheBeatMakeItRoar (talk) 16:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I appreciate it. Hopefully I did not sound too frustrated in my original response... I was rather confused.
 * I think that the image you used was not as timeless or global, but I otherwise understand the intention.
 * No problem, I am a new Wikipedia editor and always learning LeetToTheBeatMakeItRoar (talk) 06:38, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
