Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 09:13, 22 April 2007

IDGR frequently blamed to be Far-left

see the german article the english article is based on, have a look at the history , have a look at the discussion history (Yes, they realy do reverts on the discussion) too. IDGR claims to be anti-Fascist, its oponents say it is Ultra leftism. (Not my personal opinion, I do share none of them) Foreigner 15:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

New passage is a translation; sources see german article

pleases goto

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Miscellaneous#IDGR_needs_care_and_a_good_translator_german_-.3E_english

and, if you like compare it with the orgiginal lemma http://de.wikipedia.org/Informationsdienst_gegen_Rechtsextremismus

you are more than welcome to proof the history and the facts if u can read german, for sample http://de.wikipedia.org/Informationsdienst_gegen_Rechtsextremismus

of course, there's a little debate too, u can also find a plenty of sources there http://de.wikipedia.org/Diskussion:Informationsdienst_gegen_Rechtsextremismus

Wish you a lot of fun retracing the evolutionary history of the lemma. I haven't got the nerve for never ending debates with Slim about obviously evident facts, please see the history and discussion of David Icke and the "doubts" concerning ayahuasca. Will give you a better understanding bout slims "approach". Thanks for attention and goodbye. Foreigner 07:32, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Foreigner, if you want to edit the English Misplaced Pages, you have to edit in accordance with our policies. We need sources for any contentious edits. See WP:V and WP:NOR. SlimVirgin 07:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

The sources are all given. See above and proof it if you are able to read german. Foreigner

But, alas!, I'll give you a original source which is also quoted in the German Article, please see

• Kritik am IDGR von Claus Wolfschlag, einem Publizisten der Neuen Rechten

in translation it means roughly speaking

• criticism concerning the IDGR by Claus Wolfschlag, a publicist who is conciderd to be New Right

Foreigner 07:52, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

We need them in this article, not in the German one. Please review our content policies. SlimVirgin 07:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

see the source by Claus Wolfschlag I've postet above. Please also note, Claus Wolfschlag is not just anybody but quite an important Person of the New Right in the Federal Republic of Germany Foreigner 07:53, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand what's going on here. Please place sources in the article, either in the form of footnotes or Harvard references. Not on the talk page. SlimVirgin 07:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand what's going on here either. Sorry of being used to work in a different way sometimes for I'm only used to the regulations and policies of the italian and the german wikipedia. Editing there is much less complicated then here and nearly every source is given on the talk pages; hope I didn't give offense by not knowing every little detail right off the bat.

Please note also, that the existing article hasn't got a single source as yet, exept the link to the IDGR-Website and thus would urgently need the category 'Category:Articles with unsourced statements

I would suggest you (ore somebody else) implement the references in the article - if you like to - or we'll let the lemma unworked as it is. It's really up to you now. Ciao, forse alla prossima volta Foreigner 08:05, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

unwarranted edit war

User:I like Burke's Peerage edit summary:

"for sample there's an achieved and very well worked out consensous about the sample Silvio Gesell. Altogether your edits are to be considerd a deterioration, awfully sorry"

Gesell isn't mentioned here, a consensus can only be achieved on talp. If you mean a(r)chieved, please give me the link.

Most blatant of the contended edits:

"There are also files on persons who are not at first glance to be described as right wing extremists or antisemites, such as Silvio Gesell.<ref>The IDGR insists in Silvio Gesell being an antisemite (notwithstanding some of Gesells closest comrades-in-arms such as Berta Heim und Ernst Frankfurth where jews) </ref>"

1. It's not up to wikipedians to judge who is "at first glance to be described as" whatever. That's WP:OR
2. "notwithstanding some of Gesells closest comrades-in-arms...": A WP:POV qualifier infering (WP:OR) on the source's legitimacy.
3. "very well worked out", "Altogether your edits are to be considerd...": opining without reasoning.

Particularly the Gsell issue is in disregard of elementary WP principles. --tickle me 12:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. As I yust told you in the field for "Edit summaries" your changes are very unhappy ones. I like Burke's Peerage 14:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC) And please note: if anything ist to be considered blatant, it's that barefaced edit I like Burke's Peerage 15:07, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

"your changes are very unhappy ones": that's no answer as it gives no reasoning whatsoever.

"if anything ist to be considered blatant, it's that barefaced edit": I fail to understand your wording - I reasoned my edit referring to corresponding WP rules: WP:OR and WP:POV, as I elaborated above. Where does "barefaced" come in, if not as incivility?

Related: why don't you react when you willfully distort sources, foisting Neo-Nazi's allegations into a reputable Historian's mouth? --tickle me 15:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Query

Does anyone know what's meant by "democratically inclined groups"? SlimVirgin 23:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Also, this is used as a source to say that Wolfschlag alleges that the allegations are used only to defame, or similar wording. Can someone point me to the sentences in the source that say that, please? SlimVirgin 23:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

"democratically inclined groups" means "weaselese" in English :-). Earnestly, I could plaster some fact tags into the article, however, I'll expand and source it, ugh, later.

"Can someone point me to the sentences in the source ": It's the second sentence in this paragraph (the only) dealing with IDGR:

Man nehme den Weltnetz-"Informationsdienst gegen Rechtsextremismus" (IDGR), herausgegeben von Margret Chatwin als Beispiel, wie weit der Medieneinfluß gediehen ist. Dienlich ist diese Weltnetz-Seite vor allem der öffentlichen Anprangerung unliebsamer rechtsstehender Personen. Ein Blick auf die beim IDGR vorgestellten mitwirkenden Autoren verweist auf den weitreichenden Einfluß von "antifaschistischen" Leitbildern auf Autoren in bedeutenden Institutionen und Medien: Neben "Maegerle" findet man zum Beispiel Uwe Ruprecht, journalistisch tätig beim Norddeutschen Rundfunk, bei der Zeit oder dem Hamburger Abendblatt, ebenso Julika Bürgin, vorgestellt als Bildungsreferentin beim DGB-Bildungswerk Thüringen e.V. und viele andere. Auch Künstler und Musike, beispielsweise beim "Rock gegen Rechts", können sich profilieren, indem sie ihre mittelmäßigen Arbeitenunter das Motto "gegen Rechts" stellen. Etwas gutmeinende Medienöffentlichkeit und ein kleiner Stiftungspreis stehen so in Aussicht.

(This internet site is mainly used to denounce publicly disliked persons of the right)

OT - Funny wording of his: Weltnetz ("teutonised" for internet) is Neo-Nazi parlance - he claims to be ..."democratically inclined". The motto is Klick-Heil im Weltnetz. --tickle me 16:25, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Don't use Pen names

Margret Chatwin is a (weak) Pen name only. In fact her name is Anna Margret Bezold-Chatwin. Bezold-Chatwin can be found here http://www.nizkor.org/ftp.cgi/people/ftp.py?people//k/koch.manfred/1996/koch.1096.de ; please also compare http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/wir/weg/weg_log.html) Byzanz

By the way on the discussion page I found an IP-contribution

Nice additional information. Margret here claims that Misplaced Pages.de has stolen her material. -> keiner dieser dreisten Klauer, die so nach und nach alles vom IDGR - weil ja frei im Netz zugänglich - nach Misplaced Pages rüberschaufelten, zeigt eine Reaktion. Neben 1:1 Raubkopien, auf die ich jedesmal nach stichprobenartiger Prüfung mit mehrmonativem Intervall gestoßen bin, gab es eben die Fälle, in denen am Text ein wenig gefeilt wurde, während man in der Regel die von mir zusammengestellten bibliographischen Angaben, wie auch Zitate gerne übernahm, ganz so, als hätte man sich mit dieser Literatur tatsächlich befasst! Byzanz

Changes

The article here was obviously written with the POV of German users who were not successful in trying to include that POV in the German version in the past (like the above who tries to expose personal dates which have nothing to do with the subject). I corrected it as good as possible because IDGR is closed and we have to rely on secundary sources. Reasons for the new versions were given in the summaries. All last changes under IP came from me, I only forgot to log in. Jesusfreund 16:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Please don't delete any relevant information. We never ever lie to our readers. This includes not to keep quiet about the fact, that an editor in chief always wrote pseudonymously. By the way: google can bee helpfull , and detailed. Regards Byzanz 07:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

As far as "facts" are concerned

Friend of Jesus demanded: These facts are sourced in the German article on IDGR, please trust, I am participant of it as a German use.

I don't care what he regards to be souced on wiki.de. We need the soruces here and we need it as a citation in the text. I also can't see, why anybody should trust a person in advance only because he claims to be participant of it as a German user. But if the user calling himself "friend of jesus" should be willing to cite and quote correctly, he's more than welcome to deliver reputable quotes here. Regards Byzanz

Reasons

"Don't delete facts":

• "The Informationsdienst gegen Rechtsextremismus (IDGR) has been a privately financed German project on the Internet set up to counter anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial...": right wing extremism was deleted without reason.
• "...similar to the Nizkor Project" was restored although untrue and not sourced. Policy of IDGR was definitely different, it did not counter Holocaustdenial by answering Holocaustdeniers postings and countering them in newsgroups etc.; there was no direct dialogue with them at all.
• The former name of the editor was restored although without any relevance to the project itself - that it is a "penname" was not sourced and is irrelevant for the matter, too.
• "IDGR was widely regarded as the main German-language source of information on right-wing extremism": "widely regarded" by whom? Unsourced. There is no scientific statistics on how much IDGR was used in comparison to other German websites for right wing information.

• "Mission" was restored without reason: a POV expression. Better be called "purpose" or "goal".

• "Groups associated with German New Right..." was restored without source. Sources give only evidence for single critics, not groups.

• "After almost all former assistant authors of IDGR had left the project...": "almost all" is not sourced and probably untrue because IDGR had more than 40 co-authors, redok doesn't. And only some of them are identical with former IDGR-co-authors: These were also working for other projects against right wing extremism at the time they worked for IDGR (f.e. Maegerle and others), so to leave IDGR was nothing specific indicating disconsent with IDGR.

• "...because of internal fractionalism" was not sourced. Quarrels between editor and some co-authors don't have to indicate "fractionalism".

• "moaned" is POV-expression, unnnecessary.

• "Further reading" did not give further readings but only the final declaration of the editor: better linked as reference for the quote.

• External links only cite critics, not supporters of IDGR: POV.

• Section "Support" was completely deleted although exactly sourced: POV-intention obvious and unacceptable. Jesusfreund 09:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Nobody is to be blamed if he can't understand English well enough to contribute. But it would be nice to look up misunderstood words in a dictionary to inform about what's for sample a "mission"; the lemma Mission statement is helpfull too. Byzanz

Chatwin and her friends are involved in the conflict here

As you might have seen, User:Steschke wiped out the correct IDGR-editors name. Plesase let me remark that that steschke got a german account too. An IP has edited his archives there. Having a closer look on the IP 129.187.15.196 you can see, it is the same IP who signed as Margret Chatwin reproaching wikipedia with plagiarism which also edited steschkes german archives. So we arrive at a conclusion that Steschke either is Magret Bezold-Chatwin or a very close frind of her.

This can easily bee proven:

Please allow me to show in short that Jesusfriend and Steschke are buddy-buddy. Steschke always allowed Jesusfreund to edit his site, please see , for sample. The exclamation mark you see always has been a code for Steschke to go to action. Regards Byzanz

Oh, what a bad hoax

It was tried to establish Andreas K. as an reputable historian without giving any sources for his "reputableness". Of course I've done away with the hoax. Pitohui

Encyclopedic content must under all circumstances be verifiable. The German Lemma and it's partial translation can't be verified. Please excuse me wirting German:

Der deutschsprachige IDGR-Text ist ein Musterbeispiel für Adminwillkür. All diejenigen, die kritisch hinterfragt hatten, ob Magret Chatwins private Hetz- und Meinungsseite tatsächlich gegen Nazismus gerichtet war, wurden langfristig von politisch linkslastigen Admins und Chatwinfreunden kaltgestellt. Heraus kam ein extrem antifa-orientiertes Lemma, das praktisch ausschließlich von Chatwin-Freunden unbehelligt bearbeitet wurden durfte.

I strongly suggest to source every little detail with sources in form of harvard-citations or delete details which can't be verified. Quellnymphe 09:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

It's obvious that users which are banned indefinitely on German Misplaced Pages abuse this site for their personal campaigns. The subject here is IDGR and nothing else, if you don't contribute to it you should simply shut up. 84.136.75.124 10:30, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Would u please be more detailed? Pitohui

Don't vandalize the lemma!

Refrain from vandalizing the lemma. Don't delete the editors propper name. You can addd sourced information, but don't delete any proven information. Your are not allowed to delet the tag "This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality." Pitohui

@Steschke: Sorry, but I can't assume good faith any more now. Pitohui
