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]

-== Too many Vlads! (minor edit request for clarity in lede ) ==
-In the second paragraph of the lede, there are two sentences that read (bolding for emphasis:
-"He was the second son of '''Vlad Dracul''', who became the ruler of Wallachia in 1436. '''Vlad''' and his younger brother, Radu, were held as hostages in the Ottoman Empire in 1442 to secure their father's loyalty."
-Reading further, it's clear that the Vlad in the second sentence (Vlad and his younger brother) is Vlad III, not his father Vlad Dracul. However, because we just name Vlad Dracul and then make no differentiation, it's unclear at first which Vlad we're talking about. Can someone please change "Vlad and his younger brother" to "Vlad III and his younger brother", or otherwise make it clear?[[Special:Contributions/12.11.127.253|12.11.127.253]] ([[User talk:12.11.127.253|talk]]) 17:09, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
-== What exactly is wrong with the new map? ==
-[[User:Laszlo Panaflex|Laszlo Panaflex]], what's wrong with the new map, is it too big? How do you suggest I fix it? [[User:NeimWiki|NeimWiki]] ([[User talk:NeimWiki|talk]]) 22:21, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
-:It is far too large, sandwiching text down to a few words per line. Please see [[MOS:IMGSIZE]] for guidance on image sizing. [[User:Laszlo Panaflex|Laszlo Panaflex]] ([[User talk:Laszlo Panaflex|talk]]) 22:27, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
-::Also, text should not be sandwiched between two images, there is no need for AD ([[WP:BCE]]) and a caption does not take a period unless it is a complete sentence ([[MOS:CAPFRAG]]). Aligning the map with the second paragraph also places it next to the pertinent text. [[User:Laszlo Panaflex|Laszlo Panaflex]] ([[User talk:Laszlo Panaflex|talk]]) 22:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
-:::Hi [[User:NeimWiki|NeimWiki]], that map is incorrect again. We had several discussions before regarding many wrong maps.

-:::South Transylvania clearly was not part of Wallachia during the reign of [[Matthias Corvinus]] (and never) as it presented on the map.
-:::Here you attach quite obviously South Transylvania to Wallachia
