What's your opinion on this battle? Was it a Swedish victory or inconclusive? According to ALL Swedish and English sources I could find it's a "significant Swedish victory". The reason I'm asking you for help is that this guy "89.231.29.36" claims it to have been inc according to Polish historian Radosław Sikora. Also, he ignores Swedish sources on Swedish casualties which I find to be the most accurate ones (since Sweden also held the field); sources become more reliable if one side actually got the time to count bodies etc.

Hey, i would like to know why you deleted the words "Dutch German-born" in the article "Fahrenheit".

Ah yes ok, it seems to be disputed.

But there are other informations on the page which say something else. Actually it would be better to write "German-speaking physicist born in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth". This gives more information and is more useful than "Dutch-German-Polish". And there is no reason not to include "German-speaking physicist" in the "Fahrenheit" article. The fact that he can apparently only be described as "Dutch-German-Polish" makes the usage of the expression "German-speaking" even more useful. By simply writing that he was a "German-speaking physicist born in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth", and later mentioning that he moved to the Netherlands this "Dutch-German-Polish" thing can be omited. ] (]) 21:28, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

== Gleiwitz ==
In your wholseale revision of my edit, you are re-attributing that Hitler, in his Sep 1 speech, stated that "at the same time as the Gleiwitz attack, there were other incidents orchestrated by Germany along the Polish-German border, such as house torching in the Polish Corridor and spurious propaganda output. The entire project, dubbed ] and comprising 21 incidents in all." This is not factual, check his speech, so re-adding that cite to support those words about Op Himmler is problematic.
:Clearer - attributing the fact that the attacks were orchestrated by the Germans and the fact that Operation Himmler comprised of twenty-one incidents to Hitlers speech is obviously invalid, either the cite should be removed, or the text couched differently.

I re-ordered the two other cites as that is the order they do confirm the text.
:Further - I see now that the cite I moved for the 1st September speech (on the day of the invasion) is attributing the text "For months before the 1939 invasion..." - again it should be removed, or the text couched differently.

I quoted direct from the speech as nowhere in his speech does Hitler actually use the words "defensive" or state they are using defensive actions he states clearly that they are repaying (whether true or not) Polish actions, like for like and will continue to do so.
:Further - Hitler continues, stating/propagandizing that bomb will be met with by bomb, gas for gas, "until the safety of the Reich and its rights are secured". The word "defensive" used in such a way is unscholarly (employing sarcasm): Hitler's aims at expanding the Reich are clear and stated in that very speech - as he sees it "restoring German sovereignty over German territories". Another solution would be to drop the word entirely and have instead of "as justification for Germany's "defensive" action against Poland" simply "as justification for Germany's invasion of Poland."

The article is very short, these sorts of clarifications are not problematic.
FYI I was formerly an admin, with two FAs and some few DYK articles to my credit, and would appreciate more than a hand wave of "the paraphrase is perfectly fine. It says 21 incidents right there" to re-insert the above stated problems in your wish not to include an actual quote rather than any paraphrase.--] (]) 21:51, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

:Hi, I don't think having the entire quote from Hitler there is very useful - it's better to summarize it. If your objection is to the number 21, then I've removed it. Personally I do think the word "defensive" is implied in the quote but if it really bothers you then perhaps leaving it out would be ok.

== Advice Re: admin decisions ==

I have only been editing for a month. I ran across the article ] in the course of exploring visual art topics, and nominated it for speedy deletion as nonsense. This was was denied without reasonable explanation, but a suggestion that I improve the article with research. Now the article is on the AfD list. This is certainly confusing to the novice, since merely pointing out that the article was self-contradictory and unreferenced should qualify it as nonsense. I see my role as adding needed content as someone familiar with the visual arts, but does that mean not getting involved in cleanup, which is an admin function?] (]) 05:13, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

:Speedy deletion is for stuff that it's pretty obvious no one's gonna object to deleting. Here apparently there was some concern that someone might object. But I agree that the article is non-encyclopedic, which is why I nominated it for deletion. And even as non-admin you can express your opinion at the AfD, or even nominate articles for deletion yourself (provided the rationale is good). In fact, I'd encourage you to comment at the AfD (accessible via the big banner on top of that article), since you wanted to speedy it.<small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">]</span></small> 14:43, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Sorry if my words are vandalism or hurt you, but it seems to be that many enwiki users forget about how wikipedia maintains its '''neutrality'''. Misplaced Pages keeps its neutrality not by delete selected information because of Soviet this, Soviet that. It preserve that neutrality by accepting and expressing many points of view together. So if you see some articles are too POV, the only good thing to do is add verifiable sources from the other points of view to restore the balance, not by deleting the sources. Deleting like that is not making wikipedia more neutral. It is '''CENSORSHIP'''. To be frankly, I am sick of some users using the agrument "Soviet this, Soviet that" and delete the information, even if the sources are taken from reliable sources such as Russian Archive Agency (Russian, not Soviet). I used to think En.wiki is the most neutral wikipedia version because English users can be the citizens of many different countries, but now I am gradually believing that it is merely a propaganda machine of CIA and the anti-Soviet powers. ] (]) 14:01, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

This is one of the most important economic works of the period and is often cited. According to your reasoning Adam Smith references shouldn't be allowed either. Please do not delete references unless you have read enough of them to know whether or not they are appropriate. Use the Talk page or use a tag calling for more references if one is inadequate.] (]) 13:05, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

::Wrong. This is not a "potentially controversial claim". It is so widely accepted that a reference isn't even needed.] (]) 19:26, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
:::I don't think so. The source comes from the time before the advent of quantitative methods in economic history. More recent research has quantified and revised a lot of the claims concerning where the actual productivity increases occurred. For example, way back in the 1960's already, ] showed that the non-quantitative assessments of railroads' contribution to economic growth were very exaggerated (]). More generally, I really dislike the phrasing '''"Great sources of productivity improvement..."''. What exactly is a "great source" of a productivity improvement? Like a really spiffy source? At the very least shouldn't it be something like ''"Some sources of great productivity improvements..."''. That's just bad writing. Also, what exactly does the word "great" mean there? How much? 10%? 15% 1000000%? <span style="color:Blue">]</span><span style="color:Orange">]</span> 19:53, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

::According to Misplaced Pages policy: <blockquote>"primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Misplaced Pages; but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them"</blockquote> This source has been reliably published (it was widely read at the time and is still available in modern reprints) and the whole point of the book is that the cited productivity changes, price decreases and improvements in living standards, which are explicitly described in the book, are the main theme of the book. This is without question. One secondary source who cites ''Recent Economic Changes'' is Carlota Perez, but I remember seeing others.] (]) 19:26, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
:::The point is that this might be a potential primary source for what people thought in 1890's. It's not really a reliable source concerning what actually happened during the Industrial Revolution since it has been potentially supplemented or revised by subsequent research. If newer research agrees with Wells, then it shouldn't be that difficult to cite modern research.

::::Unless you have read Wells (apparently not from your uninformed comments) you have no idea how this source relates to the appropriateness of the reference. Yes there are other more modern sources, people such as Milton Friedman, Anna Schwartz, Murray Rothbard, David Landes
read sources like Wells, but none of these people are as reliable as Wells. Why? Because wells was the leading authority on technology in the U.S. at the time.] (]) 04:14, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

:::::No, I haven't read Wells. That doesn't change the fact that we should not use a source from the 1890's.

== Help needed ==

Hi :-) I hope it's not rude what I'm asking. On the ] page due to a long discussion we came to a conclusion that Einstein should be taken out of the image due to the fact he himself stated that he doesnt see himself as a German and wants nothing to do with it. In another discussion it was decided to put Angela Merkel instead of him. Later we came to a conclusion to put ] instead of Marx. The problem is we need someone who knows how to edit that specific picture used in the infobox. Could you please replace Einstein with Merkel? I saw you replaced someone in the past there, therefore ask for your help. ] (]) 19:33, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
:Here are the original discussions: (this one is where the vote took place regarding] and here is the discussion on who to use instead of Einstein: . Here is the discussion who to put instead of Marx: . Just wanted to let you know about the discussion on the Poles page, though with a delay but I understood that Poles was actually written about the nationality to. On the Germans it's different, that's why they came to a different conclusion. ] (]) 19:36, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

:::It's a bit more complicated with that page. The discussion regarding Marx and Einstein is concluded, now they are talking about different stuff which is that character of the article.

:::::The discussion have ended. Just because you and one or two new people jumped in and bring the same arguments which were already answered it doesn’t mean in re-started.

Hi! Looks like there was some sort of edit conflict glitch and your edit reverted a long comment from Nederlandse Leeuw (which is of interest to me because I was tagged in it).

Um... I hope my ping at WT:RFA didn't bother you. I didn't mean to remind you of what you went through but I was somewhat angry on your behalf. I didn't really know much about what Icewhiz did before I read your comment months ago and seeing FeydHuxtable write Not sure why several seem to think exceptional editors like Wifione & Icewhiz had malcious intent? Ice used to be a fellow ARS member, he was unusually gentle until he suffered severe provocation. He only sought adminship as a means to fight a certain evil. His play for adminship might have failed, but he simply kept taking things to a new level until his will proved too great for the community to resist. Much as I believe Ice was mistaken in seeing said evil as residing in certain edtiors or being tolerated by Misplaced Pages as a whole, one has to admire his ingenuity & determintation to achieve rightful victory (as he saw it). bothered me. I was hoping that maybe the diff I shared would be like a victim impact statement? But I also didn't want to speak on your behalf because obviously you can do so for yourself (hence the courtesy ping). But again, I didn't mean to remind you what you went through.

Utsa Patnaik

Hello VolunteerMarek. I had a query about the reliability of Utsa Patnaik on the Bengal Famine of 1943 article? I ask because you fully removed her opinion from the body on June 24 because it was apparently fringe, yet another anonymous user on July 1 added a whole paragraph sourced to Patnaik to the lead about inflation even though it's not a summary of the body and with no remaining mention of Patnaik in the body. I think her view deserves some mention in the body but clearly what this anonymous user added is undue and not following Misplaced Pages's guidelines for the lead section. No other scholar even gets named in the lead apart from Patnaik. 185.21.22.198 (talk) 11:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Patnaik , Monbiot and Hickel are most certainly fringe by any reasonable definition of fringe. “Comment is free” is not a reliable source. Volunteer Marek 18:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
