A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on November 4, 2014.

The weapon

Why does both articles Salvador Allende and Death of Salvador Allende says that he shot himself with an AK-47? that weapon is obviously incorrect. Allende's weapon was a AKMS, a underfolding stock variant of the AKM.

most sources say it was a AK-47. If you find sources saying otherwise then add them. Twitter and Flickr posts are obviously not acceptable Bedivere (talk) 15:22, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can we just settle his manner of death once and for all???

Chilean courts repeatedly ruled his death as a suicide, after two autopsies of his body clearly showed that he died by suicide. His family had also long accepted that he died by suicide, and mentioned that he had suggested the possibility of taking himself out days before the coup. And yes, he did have an AK-47 and carried it around in several pictures. He even said in his last speech that those were his "últimas palabras". He planned to do it. ^[1]^[2]^[3] David Jiang (talk) 18:31, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The manner of his death was self-sacrifice. He choose to die to save his family- Pinochet had offered a plane to fly President Allende and his family out of the country, but Allende knew that, if he was on the plane, it would be shot down and his family wiped out- there was a recording of Pinochet, from that day saying this was his plan. Salvador Allende choose to sacrifice himself to protect his wife and children- it was heroism, and should not be implied to be cowardice, or admission of failure or wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:603:4E00:AD10:F813:3B23:1ACB:F7F4 (talk) 21:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged CIA coup backing

Describing the 1973 Chilean coup as "CIA backed" exaggerates the CIA's role. 2600:1700:19E0:36C0:152D:2060:20CE:1482 (talk) 07:16, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not only that, but the CIA played no role in organizing or orchestrating the coup in the first place Kingllama100 (talk) 04:37, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously you buried the fact that he died under "coup"?!

The page for Kennedy should be used as a template to avoid bias

That is, there should be a heading titled "assassination". 208.98.223.47 (talk) 01:26, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
