Beneš decrees

Who thinks that we shouldn't talk about the Beneš decrees in the Slovakia article? Squash Racket 08:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Now, if you'll excuse me, I don't think we shouldn't talk about Beneš decrees and about its impacts today (last days confirm that), but currently I think there is too much emphasis on it. Because if we're talking about Beneš decrees in such detail, so we should on Magyarization. What I expect from this is no harassment for my opinion. MarkBA 08:51, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
But these were not even mentioned in the history section! You think the Beneš decrees are not important in the history of Slovakia (actually even today, if you exactly know what I mean)? And you call someone a vandal for putting info back? Squash Racket 08:56, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Maybe I overreacted, as Beneš decrees are quite key event (why the Germans then disappeared), but what I didn't like is the removal of uncontroversial content and inserting POV wording, and that's frowned upon. And impact today – last days speak for themselves. But I question this - do you think that two opposing sides here can negotiate neutrality? Again, no harassment please. MarkBA 09:11, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
You mean right now for this question? Can you propose an even shorter version that still talks about the impacts today?
We can wait for others' reaction too if you will. Squash Racket 09:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Possibly into this: "The part dealing ... ... has become a controversial issue in today's politics". I think we will just wait. MarkBA 09:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
