The article Wehrmacht Propaganda Troops is linked to fi:TK-komppania on WikiData. I fail to understand why. The two entities do not seem to be the same thing at all. Most importantly, TK-komppania was a unit of the Finnish Defence Forces, which is not the same thing as the Wehrmacht at all. The fact that both units were used to record and propagate material for use in the same war does not mean they were the same unit.
In my opinion the article fi:TK-komppania should be delinked from Wehrmacht Propaganda Troops and a new article about it should be written instead here on the English Wikipedia. I have already asked about this on the Finnish Wikipedia but so far got no response. What should be done here? JIP | Talk 00:05, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
Man made monuments mark the border between Canada & the United States. Some of the monuments are "off" the originally described location as much as 100 feet (for instance, along the 49th parallel) due to inaccurate measurements made by surveyors in the 19th Century. So my question is, do the monuments simply represent the "visible" border, while the true border line may actually be a few feet to the left or right? Or have the monuments come to be accepted as the literal border despite the deviations? A little clarity would be appreciated. (It would make the difference between pertinent fact vs. pointless trivia in something that I am working on.) Thanks! Ditch ∝ 17:20, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
The BrewDog article says there is a new beer called BrewDog Pink IPA. According to BrewDog's own site, it's the same as Punk IPA, only in a pink can rather than a blue one. Is this correct?
BrewDog's site says the beer is available on their online shop, but I haven't been able to find it there. Is it available on the online shop, and if so, where?
I'm asking all this because I found out that the picture of the beer on the article appears to be a photograph of an image of the beer shown on a computer screen instead of a photograph of the beer itself, so I started to wonder how I could actually buy a can of it to get a better picture.

This is our overt parody on the failed, tone-deaf campaigns that some brands have attempted in order to attract women.[1] -- 2603:6081:1C00:1187:D850:7CD2:B521:2587 ( talk) 01:52, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
