Talk:Battle of Truth (3020)

Battle?

For all we know, this was not a battle but a one-sided massacre of civilians. So maybe wrong category/infobox. Also, the Gabriel Quinn writeup on p. 132 of the Liao housebook indicates this actually happened in 3013 unless you assume that Ridzik had two distinct religious group of civilians massacred on Truth by a company of 'Mechs each in 3013 and 3020 respectively. The 3020 date is given only once; the 3013 date is backed up in the text by a subsequent 3015 event (prison release) and the notions that it was "twelve years ago", and a decade since she was released (in a sourcebook dated 3025).

Absolutely not a battle but should stay titled as such, because battle is of xxxx (xxxx) is purely a cataloging system within the military operations categories (and this is a military operation, and I purposefully stay away from using the atrocities category). Actual name of the event should go in the infobox and article text, as but lots of battles have no official name, or even several different names. As for the date, looking back, the initial creation was based on House Liao p 128 only, and another editor later turned the citation into a bizarre double one. If further information has come to light, move it, create a redirect and add a note as usual --Dmon (talk) 05:05, 13 September 2024 (EDT)

No further information. There is essentially only one source, the Liao housebook, but it mentions this event in (apparently) three different locations: on p. 63 as an undated massacre of Pan-Humanists on Truth "in the past two decades", on p. 128 in the Pavel Ridzik writeup as the Truth massacre of Pan-Humanists (dated 3020 here), and on p. 128 in the Gabriel Quinn profile something is mentioned that fits all facts but took place in 3013 and doesn't spell out which religious faction on Truth was attacked. I tentatively think the more detailed timeline suggests 3013 and that 3020 was in error. Frabby (talk) 12:57, 13 September 2024 (EDT)
