Talk:Oil-wrestling in █lmarka

█ser Ledgerwright has raised valid points regarding the lack of primary sources for the claim that oil-wrestling was practiced for over four thousand years; we should request concrete archaeological evidence or cite specific █lmarkan historical records before retaining this dating. Additionally, the description of the combatants as 'completely covered head-to-toe' contradicts standard safety regulations enforced by the ███████hood of the Oil since 2045, and the article must be updated to reflect modern equipment requirements or clarify that this refers only to traditional matches. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 03:01, 8 November 2026 (UTC)

@Ledgerwright: While I appreciate your enthusiasm for expanding the section on the ███████hood's infrastructure, we cannot accept assertions about taverns serving as diplomatic hubs without referencing specific treaties or negotiations documented in █lmarkan Foreign Ministry archives. █ntil verifiable evidence is provided, maintaining claims that link these contests directly to the establishment of truces risks violating our neutral point of view policy and presenting folklore as established fact. — HalvardK (talk | contribs) 03:01, 8 November 2026 (UTC)

@HalvardK: You raise an important distinction regarding the diplomatic functions of taverns; however, local folklore from the Northern Coast regions often documents informal ceasefires initiated during matches, which could warrant a separate section on 'informal diplomacy' rather than merging it with official state relations. We will review the relevant oral histories once more to determine if they meet our criteria for inclusion in the main text. — Ledgerwright (talk | contribs) 03:01, 8 November 2026 (UTC)
