Talk:Sir Tony Wilson, 6th Baronet

Falklands
I watched a TV documentary last night on Channel 4. It portrayed Wilson as being an indecisive ditherer; first-hand testimony from witness after witness said that he came close to losing Britain the war. I don't suppose there's any way of citing content to a TV documentary?

Third-rate self-published source
A note on one point: a good deal of the post-military career biographical stuff cites Mahle's "The Lonesome Commander" (2012), which, per the pdf citation- https://download.e-bookshelf.de/download/0000/6733/51/L-G-0000673351-0007831491.pdf - is barely intelligible, which throws its quality (if not reliability- a superior work would have been more assiduously proof-read) into some doubt, as does the fact that it's self-published, by CreateSpace Publishing- the "Edition Octopus" listed at the start of the pdf yields nothing, and all online references to this work give CreateSpace Publishing, its Wikipedia article giving "On-Demand Publishing, LLC, doing business as CreateSpace, is a self-publishing service owned by Amazon. The company was founded in 2000 in South Carolina as BookSurge and was acquired by Amazon in 2005." Just because Mahle went the extra mile and paid for an ISBN doesn't make this a work of any particular quality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.168.59 (talk) 22:37, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
