Religion confusion

I think the sources provided state that Vlad converted to Roman Catholicism from Eastern Orthodoxy and died a Catholic, shouldn’t this be made clearer in the infobox? (Meaning that it’s not so much a controversy wether or not he converted to Catholicism, but when) Aliy Dawut (talk) 23:42, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request, September 17 2024

Add bold font to section subheading

in the section "Assertion by modern standards", the subheading "national hero" is unbolded, I believe it should be bolded as it is the start to a new topic. If this is intentional feel free to ignore this. Skysilverknight (talk) 17:16, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done DonIago (talk) 17:39, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Didnt he executed??

Some sources say like that Donkirider (talk) 08:56, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than say "some sources", it would be helpful if you provided the sources. DonIago (talk) 15:03, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Vlademere Putin is often derisively referred to as Vlad The Impaler.
