Irving is no longer a "holocaust denier" proper. He now has this weird theory that a smaller number of people were murdered by gassing in every camp except for Auschwitz 65.186.75.25 (talk) 03:37, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
Not sure about whether this claim about Irving is accurate or the details here, but he has long maintained that the scale of killings in the Holocaust was much smaller than was actually the case, and not that they didn't occur. Misrepresenting the scale of the Holocaust is a fairly common form of Holocaust denial (few deniers maintain that no Jews were murdered), and his aspect of his views was part of the reason that he was found to be a Holocaust denier in the libel action he launched (see ).

Year of German atomic bomb book
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
In the books section, please change the publication date of The German Atomic Bomb from 1983 to 1967. 1983 might be a later edition or just a reprint. Source: Nuel Pharr Davis, Lawrence and Oppenheimer (1969 British edition), bibliography section, p. 365. I guess at that time, Irving was still considered credible. 2601:644:8584:2010:0:0:0:5FA4 (talk) 07:10, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
The English court found that Irving was an active Holocaust denier, antisemite and racist, who "for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence".
No. There is not a single court system in the UK, the Courts of England and Wales are one system, Scotland has a totally different legal system and Northern Ireland has a third. As the case was tried in England it is correct to call it the English court. - Arjayay (talk) 21:06, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Not done -- the change you appear to want would be entirely inappropriate, not least because it is not supported by reliable sources. Thanks for your opinion, though. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 09:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Obviously this man isn't a very good person and that's a fact that this article needs to express. However, the entire opening section reads like someone's angry diatribe about someone. The problem with this method of presenting information is that the site looks heavily biased and deceptive to younger readers who will see the bias in the article and believe the very conspiracies the man professed due to have merit as a result. Even the page on Adolf Hitler is less aggressively negative.
If you know anything about Russian propaganda and pseudo-rightwing people on the internet, then you know that nothing fuels their conspiracies like the perceived victimization of their own kind. Whoever wrote the introduction to this article has greatly helped the neo-nazi cause. Nothing solidifies support in bad causes like the perception of victimization of the people involved. That's what Hitler did to rise to power and whoever wrote much of this article is helping the neo-nazi cause. Be professional when dealing with controversial topics since the wrong words can send the wrong message. The causes of men like him are fueled by the over-active censorship and mudslinging. 2604:2D80:6305:600:1595:C94D:DC4:424E (talk) 17:37, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
