Re: Weber and racism

I suggest we keep this to Talk:Max Weber, where I suggest you repost your comment from my talk page. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:46, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you so much for the link! Regarding your remark about the work of Polish historians, I'll would like to bring in some work by Polish historians (which are unfortunately not always available in English as much as one might like), so given my linguistic limitations, if you know of any work that has been translated into English that you can recommend, I'll be very interested. Changing the topic, I'll like to discuss with you in confidence for reasons that I will make clear some concerns on my part about some sinister going-ons around here. I'll e-mail you in the next couple of days, if that is Ok. Thank you again, and please have a wonderful day!--A.S. Brown (talk) 00:19, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

moving pages

Well, it's you who moved the page without a prior discussion, knowing about the different views about it. HerkusMonte (talk) 11:33, 26 April 2011 (UTC) Do you actually understand the different definitions of Pomerania in Poland and Germany? The scholary books on the subject (e.g. Meier) don't use your "original name", but who cares, it's just another hoax on wikipedia. Have a nice day. HerkusMonte (talk) 11:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

April 2011

One of your recent edits violates the established policy of doublenaming places sharing a German-Polish history as defined in the well known Gdansk vote.

For Gdansk and other locations that share a history between Germany and Poland, the first reference of one name in an article should also include a reference to other names, e.g. Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) or Gdańsk (Danzig).

Contrary to these principles you removed the alternative names mentioned in brackets. Please restore the proper names in accordance with the Gdansk vote as

Persistent reverts against community consensus despite multiple warnings may be dealt with according to the rules in Misplaced Pages:Dealing with vandalism.

Thanks. HerkusMonte (talk) 12:32, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

No shared history in the section mentioned. Hence no double naming just like in other articles about these locations where we only use Polish names-see 1988 Polish strikes for example where only Polish names are used, since no shared history exists. Or Euro 2012 where no Germanized names are used either. Or Adoptation of Christianity by Mieszko were we also don't use Germanizied versions of Polish names.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 12:38, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

As the lead section of Pomerania during the High Middle Ages describes it:

Starting in the High Middle Ages, a large influx of German settlers and the introduction of German law, custom, and Low German language gradually turned most of the area into a German one.

Thus the article obviously covers a period of shared history. Unfortunately you preferred to remove further names in violation of the Gdansk vote . Please don’t continue this behaviour as violations of this policy might be treated as vandalism. HerkusMonte (talk) 13:03, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

So you are going to remove "Szczecin" from AG Vulcan Stettin, Stoewer etc. as there was nothing Polish about these companies. Your misinterpretation of the Gd. vote is remarkable. HerkusMonte (talk) 13:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

"They had Polish workers", Oh I see. I know someone working for a Polish company in Warsaw, didn't know that's enough to Germanize the respective articles. Seriously, that's absurd. HerkusMonte (talk)

As already explained above the Gdansk vote is absolutely clear about the usage of alternate names in brackets, you might take it to WP:3O. HerkusMonte (talk) 18:02, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Heads-up re. Roman numerals

I was reading Talk:Szczecin and noticed your (in my opinion, correct) suggestion that Polish sources be used in an article about a Polish city. However, you mentioned something about "XX century" history. You might not realize that this is not how centuries are described in English. Centuries are always numbered in Arabic numerals or words - "20th century" or "twentieth century", but never "XX century". I've been told by other Polish editors that this quirk isn't mentioned in English courses taught at Polish schools or universities, so it can trip up even the most careful editor.

Roman numerals have very limited uses in the anglosphere. You can't be confident that the average anglophone will even understand a Roman numeral, let alone use one. (These days the only place you see them outside the US is on very old clocks and buildings and in monarchs' names, such as Queen Elizabeth II. In the US you see them in the Super Bowl title and, sometimes, in proper names - but in the latter case they rarely get past III.) Good luck! --NellieBly (talk) 23:42, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

No problem; English is sometimes very strange. --NellieBly (talk) 23:49, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Edit at AN/I

I'm not sure what you were trying to do with your edit at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, but you deleted large portions of several discussions. I've reverted this edit and restored about 160k of text in the process. —C.Fred (talk) 14:01, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edit to ANI

Hi, this edit by you wiped a lot of other contributors edits from the page - so I have reverted you. You may wish to re-introduce your edit again. Cheers, LessHeard vanU (talk) 13:07, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

If I may make a suggestion, when posting to ANI or similar high trafficked pages; when you have composed your comment instead of pressing "Save page" instead highlight your text, save it to your clipboard and press "cancel". Then again hit the edit function and paste your comment into the correct place and then hit "Save page". Hopefully the less elapsed time will mean that you will not create a situation where other editors comments are lost. Cheers, LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:46, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Brier

Brier is an expert on Polish-German relations and currently working at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw. The source is published by the University of Munich and very detailed. I don't see a reason not to use it. HerkusMonte (talk) 16:16, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Brier finished his studies in 2001 and worked at the Center for International Realtions in Warsaw in 2002-2003. I don't have more detailed informations about him. HerkusMonte (talk) 16:37, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I’m sure you know how to deal with sources you consider unreliable, a simple deletion is not the right way. However, WP:RS gives just examples of reliable sources. WP:SOURCES explains it more detailed:

"Where available, academic and peer-reviewed publications are usually the most reliable sources (...). But they are not the only reliable sources in such areas. Material from reliable non-academic sources may also be used, (...) Other reliable sources include university-level (...) books published by respected publishing houses. Electronic media may also be used, subject to the same criteria."

I don’t know about Brier’s academic background at the time when he completed this study and whether it might be considered "scholary" per WP:RS. It is for sure on a university-level and it is published at the Bavarian State Library's and University of Munich’s digital library, a highly respected institution. If you disagree you might use the appropriate way to solve the problem. HerkusMonte (talk) 16:37, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Maji Maji Rebellion

The Maji Maji Rebellion could be a project for you. The loss of life was at least 200k, far more than in Namibia. Don't blame me, my fathers parents were US citizens by then, they had renounced allegiance to the Kaiser.--Woogie10w (talk) 00:34, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Juliusz Karol Kunitzer

On 9 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Juliusz Karol Kunitzer, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Polish-German "cotton king" Juliusz Karol Kunitzer survived a 1893 assassination attempt, but died during that of 1905? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Your 1RR violation

Your 1RR restriction is a necessary condition of your permaban being vacated. Today, you violated your 1RR restriction at Oder-Neisse line:

• quote added
• your 1st revert
• quote restored with explanation
• your 2nd revert

Skäpperöd (talk) 19:07, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry but that is only one revert. This was a major edit not revert to a previous state before Herkus edit here- I kept the parts about the speech by James F. Byrnes and information but without excessive quoting. Anyway I self-reverted here for safety but missed the cut and past part. It is now restored. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 19:30, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

• Per WP:1RR, which applies in your case, it is considered a violation if you revert "actions of other editors, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material. It can involve as little as one word."
• Your so-called self-revert did not undo your 2nd revert , instead, the material was restored later by someone else .
• Another necessary condition of your permaban being vacated is that you address any reverts you may perform on the article's talk page. You have failed to do so with either of the abovementioned reverts. Skäpperöd (talk) 19:50, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

You might want to correct your claims. I wasn't permabanned Skapperod, but subject to indefinite ban. These two are quite different-something I believe you know as experienced Wiki user. Also Moreschi stated that my condition is that you discuss all reverts you do make on the relevant talk page, not that I have to start discussions on relevant talk page but participate in discussions. Which I do-and for your comfort I started one even. But do AGF-I self reverted to avoid accusations of edit warring, but missed that the copy and paste section didn't click on my lousy mouse(In hindsight I shouldn't correct some minor changes at the same edit), also I think that my extensive explanations of edits are sufficient. But I will ask Moreschi for clarification. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 20:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

What "permaban"? The blocking of the previous account because it might have been hacked? Slandering users and insinuating things which are blatantly false only contributes to the battleground atmosphere in this area, not to mention that it's just not nice.Volunteer Marek (talk) 20:14, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Nationalists

June 2011

Please stop your baseless accusations of "manipulating" sources as you did here. As I already suggested at Talk:Zygmunt Wojciechowski#Manipulating sources?, we might discuss whether a summary is complete or needs further details. Your repeated accusations show a battleground mentality and are neither reasonable nor acceptable.

You are currently under editing restrictions as outlined here ("..if you make any comment deemed by an administrator to have been incivil, a personal attack, or an assumption of bad faith, you may be blocked for any time limit up to a week")

If you continue to accuse editors of a manipulative usage of sources I will take that as a repeated assumption of bad faith and incivility. HerkusMonte (talk) 17:47, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

July 2011

Your recent edit to Masuria violates the well known Gdańsk vote (For Gdansk and other locations that share a history between Germany and Poland, the first reference of one name in an article should also include a reference to other names, e.g. Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) or Gdańsk (Danzig)) as Masuria and the towns within for sure share a Polish-German history.

The Gdansk vote further continues:

Persistent reverts against community consensus despite multiple warnings may be dealt with according to the rules in Misplaced Pages:Dealing with vandalism.

Please respect this established community consensus. Thanks. HerkusMonte (talk) 05:59, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

No, in this case MMA's change is correct. G/D vote applies to historical naming and to ledes. Those names don't belong in that section of the Masuria article anymore than they belong here in List of cities and towns in Poland (and please don't try to make any WP:POINTY edits to that article). Quite simply, we use modern names. You can of course use historical German names in the history section. I'm going to revert that.Volunteer Marek (talk) 09:23, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

No it doesn't HK. For instance the articles about województwa in Poland don't have German names inserted, even if Warsaw was part of Germany under Nazis.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 19:02, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Manipulation

Once again I ask you to stop using the term "Manipualtion" whenever you might think a user has left out information you regard as important. The repeated usage of such a term is offensive and violates WP:AGF. HerkusMonte (talk) 18:31, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Czech photos

I recall you wrote once that Polish photos were allowed for free use up to a certain year. We all know German WWII photos taken by German photographers can be used. The query here is as to a photo-see:Talk:Reinhard Heydrich (File:The place where Reinhard Heydrich was killed.jpg Nominated for Deletion) taken after the assassination attempt. The photo is up for deletion. Do you know anything about Czech photos and whether they are up for free use, too? I think it should be kept, if it can be done.

Thank you

Dear Molobo, thank you again for all your kind words and interesting ideas. It is nice to see that someone else out there who knows and cares about history. I see no problems at all with the clean war myth template, other the need for some references, and maybe a few stylistic changes here or there. Now, that I seeing the end of working the graveyard shift, and getting back to getting days again, that's a huge backload of things that I need to get caught up with around here. So, there a few other things that I wanted to get caught up, and then I'll make some changes There's all sorts of good sources one one can use for this subject, especially that book The Myth of The Eastern Front, which was the subject of such dispute on the Manstein talk page. The only limitation of that book is that it limited to the image of the Wehrmacht and its supposed "clean war" in the United States. But still it reveals much about how history was re-written and repackaged. Two great book on the subject of the "clean war" myth is Wehrmacht Myth, History Reality by Wolfram Wette and War Of Extermination: The German Military in World War II. In English, Christian Streit, Jürgen Förster, Omer Bartov, Richard J. Evans, Michael Burleigh, Lord Russell of Liverpool, Raul Hilberg, Ian Kershwa and Mark Mazower all strong on the subject. Mazower's book Inside Hitler's Greece has an entire chapter on the subject of Wehrmact crimes in Greece. Evans's book In Hitler's Shadow has an entire chapter devoted to blasting the "clean war" myth, which is somewhat depressing if one remembers that book was published in 1989, and still most people out there still believe in the "clean war". Rarely, has the discount between historians and popular memory been so large. Because of the Cold War, most historians in the West believed in the "clean war" in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, but nobody has believed in it since the 1980s, except at Misplaced Pages, where it still gets repeated ad nauseum.

The only suggestion that I might want to make is, and this something that I talked to you about in more detail later is to look at the reason why people are receptive to the "clean war" myth. You already hit the hammer upon the nail by noting two very good reasons for it. In Germany, there was and still is the nationalist need for a history that makes us feel good. Beyond that, there was the Cold War, which led and still leads some people to see the Wehrmacht as a "bulwark against Bolshevism" holding back the "Asiatic hordes". I might suggest one more reason for the "clean war" myth, and that is sex. The image of the Wehrmact as super-soldiers appeals to men who for whatever reason feel sexually inadequate and so they live out vivacious fantasies of masculinity and power by embracing the Wehrmact as a symbol of power. Having turned the Wehrmacht into manly heroes to allow them to live out a vivacious fantasy, these guys have no interest in hearing about genocide and war crimes by the Wehrmacht. But that is just a minor point. Thanks again for the kind words and keep up the good work!--A.S. Brown (talk) 03:17, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Blockade of Germany

Hi. Here is a project you may want to include on your "to do list" The Blockade of Germany included the blockade of German occupied Poland. The 1928 German academic report on the blockade Deutschlands Gesundheitsverhältnisse unter dem Einfluss des Weltkrieges did not break out the deaths by region. Over 40 years ago older Germans( 80+) from Danzig and the east told me of the WW1 famine, a diet of apples and turnips!! They claimed Germans in the West were not as bad off as they were in the east. I wonder if the Prussian bureaucrats in Berlin were starving the Poles in order to feed Germany. What do Polish academic sources have to tell us on the WW1 blockade? Regards--Woogie10w (talk) 02:08, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Took your side

here (zap one step back to read the dirt).

I am german, and depending on the rotation of the earth, mostly i am closer to the left than to the right edge of the disk . On the first view it is too much to analyze, whether you have the propagandistic bias that is criticised. I doubt that your politic of editing in wikipedia, and all of your arguments are always sound, as I doubt that for anybody else, including myself. And therefore, digging deeper, I found some of your arguments scientifically well supported. Therefore they have their own right in Misplaced Pages. In everyday life, with people in germany and in poland, I notice a tendency, to forget unpleasant historic facts, and to make friendship on the base of embellishing the own past. The opposite is neccessary: friendship on base of unpleasant historic reality. Though it sounds crazy.

There are convincing reasons, to treat nazi comparisons as an „unsubject” in internet communication. Nevertheless, I understand your remarks about bad jokes and propaganda, when you tried to defend yourself. The dilemma is, such comparisons, when you want to speak the truth, and want to communicate about the subject in a way that leads to somewhere, need another level of language to work, than you have used. I believe we share the category, whether someone acts humanfriendly or not. The mobbing propaganda against you is absolutely intolerable not only from this point of view.

Propaganda

No, both the German and the Polish side established an immense "public relation" campaign. In political context such a campaign is usually described as "Propaganda" and that headline was established long ago. The violent atmosphere was however a result of such propaganda and that's why it belongs to that section. What I don't think is helpful is to mention only German activities under a topic named "Propaganda" while the Polish campaign is presented as an attempt of Masurians to join Poland. In fact the Polish campaign had only very limited support from within Masuria (though I'm sure we disagree on that). HerkusMonte (talk) 13:23, 17 January 2012 (UTC) P.S.

lice feeders

I'm trying to finish up this article , though I'm a bit short on time. The article itself is mostly about Weigl's institute in Lwow and the lice feeders, like Banach and Herbert, who survived the war by working there. However, the article would be missing a good chunk of relevant info if it didn't talk about OTHER experiments on typhus, as carried out by the Nazis in concentration and death camps. If you know of good sources on the topic, I'd appreciate if you could add some info to it - there's a hidden "Typhus experiments on human subjects in German concentration camps" section that could use expanding.

I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

Maschke

Maschke is the source that was cited by historians in the US to refute James Bacque, in any case the work of the Maschke commission was confirmed by Overmans. Do you have a source that says the Maschke figures are tainted?--Woogie10w (talk) 20:46, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

The German historian Rüdiger Overmans puts the number of German POWs dead in the Soviet captivity at 1.0 million. Based on his research Overmans believes that the deaths of 363,000 dead POW in Soviet captivity can be confirmed be the files of Deutsche Dienststelle (WASt), he maintains that it seems entirely plausible, while not provable, that 700,000 German military personnel listed with the missing actually died in Soviet custody--Woogie10w (talk) 01:42, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

92,000 surrendered at Stalingrad, only 5,000 returned home.--Woogie10w (talk) 01:47, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

The issue is not really about the numbers but how the 1.0 million missing POWs became an issue West German politics. Maschke's commission was set up to investigate the fate of the missing. Maschke concluded that the men were dead during the war, not being held as slave labor in the USSR. --Woogie10w (talk) 02:07, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Apropos Untermensch-article

Hello Moloboaccount
You deleted a lot of information that I added to the article. I don't know about any banned English Patriot Man that you mentioned; as you can see I'm adding information from Germany. No suspicion please.
Simply for the sake of truth I added quotations and verifiable information that helps paint a true, a correct picture and correct common errors. Of course it's easy to simply delete information if it does not fit into one's idea. I think it's a pity and does not help truth to do so.
Let the Misplaced Pages-reader decide whether citizenship / ethnicity matters. I'm sure it's a false impression to say that Nazis considered Slavs subhuman (before reading more and more sources I shared the common idea considering this; not any longer) -- and I do not delete information -- I add verifiable information. Don't you think that's a better way to approach truth? Sincerely, 79.230.143.69 (talk) 09:58, 18 June 2013 (UTC) You are using original research(please read on this rule in wikipedia), synthesis and author connected to revisionism. Please read on Misplaced Pages:Reliable Sources. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 09:34, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Master-race article and the Junge Freiheit

I just saw that you also removed information that I added to the „master race” article. Without giving a source / a reason / an explanation you maintain that the Junge Freiheit would not be reliable.
I just added information to the Junge Freiheit article by adding a quotation that the Jewish writer Ephraim Kishon said in an interview with the newspaper.
Prof. Dr. Elliot Neaman who teaches at the University of San Francisco also regularly writes for the Junge Freiheit. The information I added to the Misplaced Pages article was written by Dr. Stefan Scheil. Why do you simply delete it?
Sincerely, 79.230.143.69 (talk) 12:08, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Second try for a discussion

Do you doubt that Slavs were recruited for the Waffen-SS?
Do you doubt that the Misplaced Pages reader can decide for himself how to judge a statement from the very same pamphlet that actually is already quoted in this very article? You simply remove it.
You seem to be very sure that those secondary sources that you added were correct -– then for the sake of truth -– provide original sources, primary sources! Why not substantiate what you deem true, but instead remove information you don't want readers to know?
You insult me and accuse me of falsely presenting a wrong picture! By doing what? Adding verifiable primary sources!
I also added information to the Junge Freiheit article -- are you going to remove it?
You simply claim that Dr. Stefan Scheil can't be trusted and remove a quotation from a primary source, that he provided. No substatiation for your claim. Let's try to handle this decently. I think you err, but I do not simply erase what you added.

http://en.wikipedia.org/Gerd_Schultze-Rhonhof In recent years, Schultze-Rhonhof published works on the history of the Causes of World War II in Europe. In this context, in May 2006 he and historians Stefan Scheil and Walter Post took part in a conference organized by the publishers Wigbert Grabert and Gert Sudholt (which are assessed as extreme right by Verfassungsschutz, the German Federal Agency for Internal Security).

Hitler's War in the East, 1941-1945: A Critical Assessment - Page 4084 "Revisionist work, such as Stefan Scheil's Fiinfplus Zwei, and idem, 1940/41, continue to be the historiographical exception"

http://de.wikipedia.org/Stefan_Scheil Scheil nahm wiederholt an Veranstaltungen teil, die auch von Rechtsextremisten ausgerichtet werden. Er war neben Gerd Schultze-Rhonhof und Walter Post Hauptreferent auf der Tagung Wollte Hitler den Krieg? vom 6. Mai 2006, die die Herausgeber der geschichtsrevisionistischen Zeitschriften „Deutsche Geschichte – Europa und die Welt“ (Druffel & Vowinckel-Verlag) und „Deutschland in Geschichte und Gegenwart“ (Grabert Verlag) organisiert hatten. Er nahm an der Jahrestagung des von Dietmar Munier gegründeten Schulvereins zur Förderung der Russlanddeutschen in Ostpreußen vom 3. bis 5. April 2009 teil, und verfasste 2009 einen Beitrag für das vom rechtsextremen Druffel & Vowinckel-Verlag herausgegebene Sonderheft Deutsche Geschichte. German wikipedia mentions several other points like blaming Allies for war and other activities in far right and revisionism. Enough said. He is not an acceptable source. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 09:34, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Silesia

No consensus has been reached. Two editors, Piotrus and I, have proposed a link to Nazi war crimes, and you want the text you have written, variations of which are appearing on numerous other articles. Until a consensus is reached any edits you make are subject to revision. It would be best to leave the text as is until a consensus is reached or seek alternative forms of dispute resolution. Rsloch (talk) 14:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Please stop adding material you know to be disputed to get past the agreed desire for a consensus. I'm asking you this privately here not on the talk page to avoid any antagonism. Rsloch (talk) 15:49, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

You wrote '...the Jewish population of Silesia was subjected to Nazi genocide with executions performed by Einsatzgruppe z. B.V led by Udo von Woyrsch either placed in ghettos or expelled to the General Government and Einsatzgruppe I led by Bruno Streckenbach' Could you explain why that doesn't need editing?Rsloch (talk) 19:59, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Your edits

You've been adding things willy nilly all day, oddly just after I've made edits, and I've had to do a clean up. Please be more careful. On Forster I said in the notes I would welcome the addition of extra material on massacres Forster was responsible for. Your additions do though need editing before inclusion and should be in the right sections ie massacres in a massacres section, Germanization in the Germanization section. The massacres at Piaśnica deserve their own section and can not be viewed as 'minor'. Rsloch (talk) 20:46, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 23:15, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Evening

This is an attempt to avoid the need to take this further. You have always, wrongly, assumed some partisan motive for my edits. Bar terminology we only really disagreed on where the mass murder of Silesia's Jewish population occurred. It's a question of fact made moot if you add Auschwitz to Silesia as seems to be the consensus on the article. Not really a reason to launch into an attack on another article's talk page. So here's an idea, you and I robustly but civilly edit each other's material as usual but agree that we have both in the past been prats towards each other and we're leaving that behind. Agreed? Rsloch (talk) 20:34, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Something being sourced does not preclude it from being edited or removed. I have tried to explain every edit in the summary, and you are welcome to ask for more detail. Rsloch (talk) 22:28, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Slavs were Aryan too

Hi, I have came to your talk page because I have seen that several of my edits into pages around Nazism, Nazism and race, the Nazis view on other people besides Germans and Hitler's own political beliefs.

I see that further up on your talk page titled "Second try for a discussion" somebody else has had this problem with you and which is why I have came to your talk page to try and resolve this problem.

I typed in "Nazis Slavs Aryan race" into Google Books and found on the first few pages the exact books that you cited as 'evidence' that they were regarded as non-Aryan, the sources you provided do not actually go in line with Misplaced Pages:No original research, Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view and the Misplaced Pages:Verifiability when citing sources.

There is overwhelming evidence that they regarded as "Aryan" as the Germans were. In fact, even Alfred Rosenberg acknowledged the Slavs as Aryan (although in his mind - lesser than Germans) and complained about the treatment Slavs and other non-Jews were receiving by the Nazis in occupied territory. The Aryan Certificate said Slavs were Aryan, the Nuremberg Laws did not effect the Slavs. The Ahnenpass mentions both Czechs and Poles (both Slavs) as examples of Aryans.

After the invasion of Poland in 1939 the streets were straight away rounded into the "Aryan Side" and the "Jewish Side" and any Poles that helped Jews by forging them "Aryan Papers" to pretend to be ethnic Poles were given the death penalty. After the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 the Russians were regarded as "Aryan" and were encouraged to fight against the Jewish Bolsheviks, even in Ukraine, Hitler was seen as "liberator from the Communists" and many Slavic SS divisions were formed to fight against Bolshevism.

The definition of "Aryan" was so loosely used that it could be used in many different ways such as: German, Germanic, Nordic, European, etc etc. Under the definition of "Aryan" by the Nazi racialists the Slavs WERE accepted as Aryan and were never racially discriminated against as all Europeans were racially equal - even by Nazis standards. It was when they used the term Aryan to mean the "Germanic race" was when Slavic peoples, Celtic peoples and others were not accepted as Aryan.

Even the term untermenschen aka subhumans was never directly applied to Slavs, yet many authors of books continue to repeat the Slavs = untermenschen myth. Please use your translator and visit this site http://actualhistory.ru/race_theory_origins--198.58.112.253 (talk) 14:22, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Please discuss in talk pages and simply stop reverting

You are refusing to co-operate with me but are simply taking out chunks of info on pages and editing to them how you want to and ignoring the talk pace of the article.

Can you please actually resolve this with me instead of simply reporting me as a sockpuppet in which I am not?

I am simply using Misplaced Pages and sticking to the rules which you are not, you seem to be ignoring all what is shown to you and mis-reading words and then reverting back to your version whilst reporting me which is wrong and outrageous.

Firstly, "volk" under Nazi terminology could mean "race" "European" or "Germanic" so Slavs could also be accepted in the "volk" like others, please see Volk#Nazi_era for further information.

You are seeming to forget that the sources you are showing is using the term Aryan as the 'master race' or 'Germanic people' this is not what the Nazis always used the term as, all non-Jewish Europeans were Aryans INCLUDING the Slavs.

Please go to the talk page of the master race here Talk:Master_race#Slavs_were_Aryans_but_not_part_of_the_Herrenvolk I have tried two attempts to co-operate with you about this and you are ignoring this. Please stop.--198.58.112.253 (talk) 08:10, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Recent edit on the folk page

You have made a recent contribution to the Folk page and put "Thus the term Volk refered in the vision of Nazis to the entirety of German nation" and the source as Literature and Film in the Third Reich but I Googled that book and found no way you can access it directly, may you show me the source fully please? I have made a section Talk:Folk#MyMoloboaccount_recent_new_edit to see what others users say as in my opinion it is irrelevant already mentioned such as the Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer the Volk in this slogan translates to nation, i.e the German nation which is what you edited and added into the article...?

I also see on a sidenote you have done this because of the Master race debate me and you have had although you have left atm unedited again, the term "volk" could mean several things and your recent new edit is just covering what is also mentioned in the article already. Any reason why you emphasized it so much apart from the fact that the Aryan description of all non-Jewish members of the European Volk meant more than just Germanic people has upset you?

Also, your page claims you to be of German and Polish descent, surely you should be aware of the "Aryan Side" in Poland after the invasion of Poland in 1939 such as Ghettos_in_Nazi-occupied_Europe#Aryan_side (there is also other articles on Wiki that mention the Aryan Side) which was mostly of ethnic Poles and the other end was the "Jewish Side" and many Jews tried to forge "Aryan papers" pretending to be ethnic Poles i.e Aryan to avoid persecution and any Poles found helping Jews were subject to the death penalty instantly, why do you deny this?--198.58.112.253 (talk) 18:45, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II

WikiProject Poland Newsletter • January 2014 • Issue II For our freedom and yours Welcome to the second issue of WikiProject Poland newsletter, the Monitor (named after the first Polish newspaper). Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Misplaced Pages notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Poland page, so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were featured in the Signpost, and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members! In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop: we have an active assessment department. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a quality assessment, and 2,000, importance assessment. We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages? assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the {{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}} template. See here for a how-to guide. once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in our article alerts and news feed, which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting that feed, in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions. you can also see detailed deletion discussions at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content) we have also begun B-class quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own A-class quality reviews. As of now, we have about 500 C-class articles in need of a B-class review. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in point 10 of our assessment FAQ. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found here. also, those articles will be included in our cleanup listing, which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!). did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed here. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be welcomed and invited to our project if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content. we are maintaining a Portal:Poland automated Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s) Breaking news: we are looking for a Wikipedian in Residence for the New York City area. See Misplaced Pages:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America for details. This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools! With all that said, how about you join our discussions at WT:POLAND? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself? It took me three years to finish this issue. Feel free to help out getting the next one before 2017 by being more active in WikiProject management :) You have received this newsletter because you are listed as a member at WikiProject Poland.

Your recent edits

Okay MyMoloboaccount, I see you have accused me of being s sockpuppet because some other now apparent banned user has questioned about Slavs being Aryans by the Nazis. Well, if you take a look on the several related articles such as on the Racial policy of Nazi Germany or the Nazism talk pages there is others who have questioned this.

Your recent edits of:

Master race article - , , , .

Racism in Poland article: , .

Aryan race article: .

Strike me as being somewhat parallel to those of others who I've had a dispute over and has now went way further than I had imagined. It seems rather a coincidence or not that the user Yatzhek first had the "advice" of Tobby72 and now you have been commenting on the investigation article talk page and then you have started making edits which are related to the dispute.

In regards to Slavs as Aryans, there is overwhelming evidence that the Nazis did regard the Slavic population as Aryans the same as Germans. I'm aware that some authors and historians do say that examples of "non-Aryans" were Jews, Gypsies, Slavs. However, in regards to the Slavs there is actually no evidence to support this as Slavs as pointed out were used as examples, they were eligible for Reich citizenship and they were not subject to any discrimination against them by the Nuremberg Laws like the Jews, Gypsies and others such as blacks. Thankfully and rightfully so many authors and historians do state the truth about Slavs and they were Aryans. It should be no big deal about this I don't see why it bothers you to accept this fact when all the evidence is there for you to see.

Let's look at your edits:

Master race - can you show me anywhere in Nazi terminology that Slavs were given the non-Aryan status?

Racism in Poland - can you please tell me where anywhere says Poles were not part of the Aryan race and where in Mein Kampf Hitler says that Poles were not Aryan (chapter and page please)?

Aryan race article - the status of the Poles is not what the page is discussing, why is there any need for it to be there?--Windows66 (talk) 11:11, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Instead of actually ignoring me, it would be best to cooperate. My recent edit on here on the Ahnenpass page is reliable. Your recent revert here is confusing me, how is the sourced paper "controversial" and how is what you put as a source considered reliable? You may want to check out WP:V.--Windows66 (talk) 11:08, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Volksliste

Hi, based on my understanding of a source published in West Germany, Menschen und Grenzen by Alfred Bohmann. I believe the Volksliste figures include about 300,000 ethnic Germans resettled in Poland. Bohmann's presentation of the Volksliste figures shows that cat A & B totaled 710,000 persons, he then goes on to describe the resettlement of 287,000 ethnic Germans in Poland. To me this implies that 710,000 persons from pre-war Poland were in Cat A/B, not the 1 million that appears in the sources cited here on Misplaced Pages. Alfred Bohmann was an SS officer during the war and a well known supporter of the expellees in post war West Germany. If this is the case, the number of ethnic Germans in prewar Poland has been overstated in historical literature. I need your help. What do Polish sources tell us about the classification of persons on the Volksliste? --Woogie10w (talk) 15:50, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. It seems more than likely to me that the figure of 1 million Germans in Cat A/B Volkslisten includes 280,000 Germans re-settled there in 1940-41, based on Alfred Bohmann's study. I was hoping that Polish historians would have caught this. BTW Alfred Bohmann was quite frank in his description of the mass murder of the Jews, which indicates to me he no longer was supporter of the Nazis after the war. There is a German translation of Madajczyk, I need to order it. Anyway I am reading Die Vertreibung im deutschen Erinnern. Legenden, Mythos, Geschichte, I would not be surprised if it is translated into Polish and Czech.--Woogie10w (talk) 10:07, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I requested the book at the New York Public Library. They replied, Your request for Organizacja i przebieg wysiedle ludnoci niemieckiej z Polski w latach 1945-1949 / Pawel Kacprzak. was successful. Stay tuned, I may need your help for translation, my Polish is so-so.--Woogie10w (talk) 10:53, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

I saw the book, Kacprzak did not mention this. West German sources claimed that there were 1.2 to 1.371 million ethnic Germans in pre-war Poland. Alfred Bohmann's study puts the number at 711,000 in cat A/B on the Volkslist, in a separate section he then goes on to detail the 280,000 Germans re-settled there in 1940-41. To me it seems that the the figure of 1 million Germans in Cat A/B Volkslisten cited in historical literature includes the re-settlers. I am surprised that Polish historians have never caught this.--Woogie10w (talk) 20:59, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

IMO the dummies at Nurnberg in 1946 picked up the document that listed 1 million Germans on the Volkslist, they did did not realize it included 290,000 Germans resettled in Poland. Alfred Bohmann's Menchen und Grenzen is a goldmine of statistics. --Woogie10w (talk) 22:29, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement

Please can you review the content you added at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Lvivske.

• At least one of the diffs you posted were not correct diffs. I think the reason for the problem is that you are stepping through the article history and assuming that this process produces good diffs. It often does not on my browser (Firefox). I find that the only way to get good diffs is to create them by pressing the "compare selected revisions" button on the article history.

• There is a second problem. You need to explain carefully why each diff shows a breach of the sanctions. The explanation you gave under "T-64 article" might be OK if you were accusing him/her of edit-warring, but does not explain what you think the problem is for your accusations about Lvivske.

• For at least one of the accusations, "Reverted to revision 612105104 by SkoraPobeda (talk): Category exists for a reason, terrorists took control of an airport and did terroristy things Revert done without discussing it prior on discussion page as per sanction." the revert looks like reverting vandalism, which is allowed by the sanction. Again the problem may be, because you have not provided an adequate explanation.

Dear Molobo Thank so much for the very interesting link. In general, I think it is clear that the "men of July 20th" wanted a greater Germany, or in other words, they were not planning on giving most of Hitler's conquests, especially in Eastern Europe. I am sorry for being so late in getting back to you. I so overwhelmed with work as all this business of working all day and studying all day takes its toll, plus Chinese is NOT an easy language to learn, so I am rather hard-pressed with time.

Issue of Nazi Germany's diplomatic tactics involving lebensraum in relation to Poland

I have seen that you have made a series of alterations and removals to content involving Nazi Germany's official diplomatic gestures to Poland involving reassurances on lebensraum. Some of those changes I disagree with, though I agree in retrospect that the info mentioned on the Axis powers article on Germany's war justifications was too long and unnecessary.

First of all, I want to be clear that I am not a person who holds a revisionist tendency in reviewing history. I am not attempting to say that the Nazis let alone Hitler genuinely wanted any permanent Polish state on their frontier. The behaviour of the Nazi regime regarding Poland was one that mixed their views of racial inferiority of Poles though also for a time there were concerns that pushing Poland too far would be giving the Soviet Union an ally. The Nazis for diplomatic and strategic purposes, put forward the concept that Poland could achieve its own lebensraum, while Germany would go through the Baltic states into the Soviet Union, this meant to convey to Poland that they did not need to fear destruction by Germany's lebensraum. Was it a cynical ploy to buy Germany time to prepare for war without having Poland go into the Soviet sphere? From Hitler's behaviour on other similar diplomatic occasions, I believe so. However it is noted that Hitler did speak of the possibility of the benefits of using Polish soldiers against the Soviet Union, albeit in vulgar taste that it would reduce the number of German soldiers needed and less German casualties - in short they would be cannon fodder.

From my perspective, Hitler always used the same tactic with each country he conquered, first he would engage in positive diplomatic relations and claimed that old issues in the past could be resolved peacefully at some point; next he would attempt to diplomatically corner the country on a contentious diplomatic issue - be it minorities, supposed "aggressive" behaviour of the government in regards to relations with Germany, and raise the highest possible demands upon them; when the country did not accept Germany's demands and either war or forced diplomacy occurred (Sudetenland), Hitler would then claim to the public that he had done everything possible to achieve a mutually acceptable agreement for Germany and the other country but that the other country's leadership refused to cooperate due to "anti-German" or "pro-Jewish" tendencies and that Germany was forced to struggle against them.

Including material on it does not mean that it is the truth, it is stating what was said and what was claimed.

I see inclusion of material on Germany's official claims to placate Poland as valuable because it shows that Germany was scheming to keep Poland's guard down and especially to keep it from seeking help from the Soviet Union.

I agree with your inclusion of material that shows that Germany was preparing for a war with Poland while at the same time claiming that it was seeking cooperation with Poland. That was a common tactic that the Nazi regime used.

To use a famous quote used by an actor portraying a diplomat speaking with Joachim von Ribbentrop in the movie Battle of Britain (1969) "Hitler's guarantees guarantee nothing."
