OK, so who were the other two? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.10.127.58 ( talk • contribs) 20:59 UTC, June 7, 2006
I inserted a link to Nocebo; and within a short time I received the following message:
The rerason for inserting the reference, was in relation to this brave man's selfless decision to throw himself on a grenade in order to protect his mates.
I am fairly new to Wikipedia, and I have been led to believe that one of the driving notions of the Wikipedia is to cross-reference as mch as possible, to assist readers.
In the Nocebo article, I have written the following:
I was specifically using this reference to this brave man as an example of somebody who threw himself on a grenade to save his mates.
Now, if it is that, in your opinion, the fact that he did not die means that I am either being disrespectful or being inaccurate, I would beg to differ.
However, given that my purpose was neither sinister nor disrespectful, and that it seems that there may well be other people who can provide me with what, under theese circumstances, may be a far more universally acceptable answer, I would simply request that I am provided with a new name or names of such heroes.
By the way, I stand corrected; and, thank you for pointing out the extent to which one aspect of my example did not "map across", when so many other aspects did "map across". I am certain that, with more relevant information at my disposal, my point, as originally intended, will be far better made Lindsay658 06:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
The example of Lawrence Oates seems to be a better fit for the description of self-inflicted death. I'll move the more general discussion to your talk page. Again, thanks. — ERcheck ( talk) @ 11:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
