"Zionist conspiracy" comment at Talk:Adolf Hitler

I just wanted to let you know that the "Zionist conspiracy" comment at Talk:Adolf Hitler was made by abusive sockpuppet impersonator Ameriquə (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), not by the legitimate user Amerique (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). szyslak (t, c)

Heinrich Himmler

Sorry about that. Monthneedbe 15:53, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Mark - I don't understand. I did not make any sweeping changes the second time. I only made syntax/grammar corrections and added the fact/POV tags that you yourself suggested. If there is anything in particular that I did wrong, please let me know, otherwise I don't see what the problem is. I hope you will only revert factually inaccurate items. Monthneedbe 16:25, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, yes, I was slightly over-reacting maybe now that I've had time to review your changes more carefully. However, I feel that you have placed POV tags in places where frankly it's hard to arrive at a "neutral" position about a subject that is absolutely certain to be highly prejudicial in the sense that it's hard to write an article about Himmler that does not state his crimes. I think you need to be more specific about the aspects you regard as POV - we've had many of the same debates on other Nazi leader articles and ended up removing the neutrality tagging. I ask again though - are you a new editor? You've been on WP for 2 days (apparently) yet appear very competent. Of course, you may just be a quick study! But then again.... maybe not.

I was not privy to any of the Nazi leader articles debates and if the neutrality tag is inappropriate please feel free to remove it. I guess as a Jewish person I kind of feel passionately about this subject. I have friends and co-workers who use Misplaced Pages and who introduced me to it. I am 42 years old, so I should be competent. If that makes me a "quick study", so be it. I guess I am more of a dinosaur on this site. Monthneedbe 16:37, 16 October 2007 (UTC) Oh I forgot. I did edit in the past before I registered a username. That count? Btw, what is "standard civility supervision"? (I couldn't help but notice the above). Monthneedbe 16:41, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

My guess is - you know! :-) Anyway, it's very civil to request that you not remove large amounts of material carefully constructed over a long period from a key article without at least some discussion. Thanks. MarkThomas 16:47, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
