The article states that Bukowski's parents left Germany because WWI reparations had caused severe economic problems. The issue/cause of the German economic collapse after WWI is a lot more complicated than that, so I'd like to make this sentence more neutral. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 15:44, 8 December 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | The article states that Bukowski's parents left Germany because WWI reparations had caused severe economic problems.

"A few critics and commentators, also, supported the idea that Bukowski was a cynic, as a man and a writer; yet he was a pure stoic, not a cynic. As Bukowski stated himself in an interview: 'I've always been accused of being a cynic. I think cynicism is sour grapes. I think cynicism is a weakness.'" |

Cause of German Economic Problems Post-WWI
The article states that Bukowski's parents left Germany because WWI reparations had caused severe economic problems. The issue/cause of the German economic collapse after WWI is a lot more complicated than that, so I'd like to make this sentence more neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.189.255.44 (talk) 15:44, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
On cynicism
In the writing section: Isn't this an opinion and should be more factual?
"A few critics and commentators, also, supported the idea that Bukowski was a cynic, as a man and a writer; yet he was a pure stoic, not a cynic. As Bukowski stated himself in an interview: 'I've always been accused of being a cynic. I think cynicism is sour grapes. I think cynicism is a weakness.'"
