Why did you undo my contribution?

You wrote: > this ix not about gafieira. also refs to youtube dance videos are not reliable and may be used only as an additional illustration

The original article (now the current) contains so much nonsense The gafieira-page also. There is a conflict with Brazilians on YouTube that Ballroom Samba is not samba. My contribution made everyhing clear: that both are the same dances, but that samba de gafieira is a fraud.

To refute my conrtribution the refuters should answer these questions first: 1 why Brazilians use the American box step as basis? 2 Why do they step on the wrong beat? 3 How can Brazilians create samba the gafieira if they can not dance the basis: the waltz — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gdance (talk • contribs) 11:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

I read your respons. But you reverted to the bad original article. These points are absolutely wrong: 1 It differs considerably from the original samba styles of Brazil, in particular it differs from Ballroom Samba in Brazil itself 2 ballroom samba has its origins in Samba of Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century. 3 very disconnected from the origins and evolution of the music that gives it its name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gdance (talk • contribs) 21:12, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

NKVD

Can u tell me from where do u have this.--Sanandros (talk) 05:09, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

@Sanandros: of course not. 15 years ago, man!. But you may find much burocratic info from this encyclopedia . At that time my goal was to add info to combat a ridiculous cliche widespread in the west that all what NKVD did was killing off those who did not like stalin or those whom stalin did not like. This info was readily googlable by russian terms. Most probably I got it from Memorial publications available online, because thats how i created my numerous articles about soviet political repressions. - Altenmann >talk 09:27, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
PS I suspect you dont read russian. I will fill in refs from the book I ext-linked above. - Altenmann >talk 09:30, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
No Russian is not my language. But the info you added is still in the article and it would be useful to kick NKVD out of the Intelligence cats (on de wp). But for that I need a reliable source.--Sanandros (talk) 12:37, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
Did u found time to fill in the refs?--Sanandros (talk) 07:27, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Sorry I am ill. The link to book is a ref for GUSHOSDOR. Please ask someone from WikiProject:Russia to search this book. All is there. It is encyclopedia of kgb . - Altenmann >talk 05:24, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Ridiculous revert

It is scarcely believable that you undid my series of clearly described and obviously necessary edits to rootless cosmopolitan with the absurd edit summary "Not an improvement as a whole". Does any of this really need explaining to you?

  • as an accusation in their lack of patriotism is not grammatical; in should be of
  • The expression was coined in 19th century is not grammatical; there needs to be a definite article before 19th
  • the popular actor and world-famous public figure is not neutral in any context, and is transparently absurd in this case
  • blogs are not reliable sources
  • when and whether Golda Meir changed her surname is utterly irrelevant to this article.
  • Huge enthusiastic crowds (estimated 50,000) is not grammatical; Huge is vague, and redundant when the number is given; enthusiastic is unlikely to be neutral or verifiable
  • scores of Soviet Jews were fired - do you know what "scores" means?
  • Many were shocked to find a Yiddish verse (sung by Mikhoels) cut out from the famous lullaby in the Soviet classic movie Circus ("Tsirk", 1936), known by heart by millions and still very popular in post-war Soviet cinemas. - many? who exactly? Who says they were shocked? Why is their claimed shock relevant? Famous is a peacock word which conveys no information. "Classic" is not neutral. "Known by heart by millions" is not verifiable. "Still very popular" is not verifiable.

And yet, you put all of these obvious failings right back in the article. What explanation do you have for doing that? 146.90.125.54 (talk) 21:56, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Result of Battles of Rzhev

Hello Altenmann

Just for your information, I did not introduce the result 'tactial victory' on the article's webpage. Prior to my latest involvation, the article was heavily edited by multiple socks, (probably still going to be an issue in the near future) I simply reverted his/hers edits. It appears, that the result was inserted by an IP diff back in June 2019. I have not noticed the mistake until your edit summary. *made me chuckle* I agree with your sentiment, and I would argue —after checking my source— that the result should be 'inconclusive' per WP:IMC Template. Regards, Wildkatzen (talk) 12:36, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Russian historian Svetlana Gerasimova states in her 2013 issued book "The Rzhev Slaughterhouse: The Red Army's Forgotten 15-Month Campaign Against Army Group Center, 1942-1943" pp 167-9:

Extended content
Just who won and who lost the Battle of Rzhev? The question is not at all a simple one. Upon examining this question, the Battle of Rzhev is reminiscent of the Battle of Borodino; even today, historians still argue over who won that battle. In both battles, the sides didn’t achieve their ultimate objectives, but at the same time fulfilled specific assignments. Several scholars believe that the Battle of Borodino had no victor, but gave a morale boost to the Russians. The results of the Battle of Rzhev in a certain way are similar to this situation, but with a minus sign on the Russian side with respect to morale.

The Soviet forces in 1943 made significant territorial gains. Unquestionably, the elimination of the dangerous German staging area in the center of the Soviet-German front and the simultaneous removal of a constant threat to the Soviet capital must be viewed as an important result and one with strategic significance. The liberation of Rzhev and other cities and towns in the German salient, which the Soviet forces had been unable to take for many months, was an important political result. But this victory was far from triumphal in the way of the Battle of Stalingrad: the primary objective of all the operations in the area of the Rzhev – Viaz’ma salient – the destruction of the main forces of Army Group Center – was not achieved.

The German forces voluntarily withdrew from the salient, unbeaten and unbowed on this sector on this sector of the front. They did of their own volition what their opponent had been trying to force them do for more than a year, and in the process conserved their strength for future operations. However, at the same time the Wehrmacht could no longer hold on to the salient, and it lost its strategically advantageous staging area at the center of the Eastern Front. The Germans were compelled to abandon Rzhev, this eponymic city, which personified the defense of a large territory, this “gateway to Berlin”.

For both one side and the other, this was a lost victory. But for both sides, this victory was even more a pyrrhic one. The Rzhev salient, the “Rzhev bulge” became for both armies a “black hole” that sucked in and swallowed large numbers of troops. In the memory of the Soviet soldiers that served there, it remained the “Rzhev meat grinder”, the “Abyss”. To the present day, in the villages of many districts around Rzhev, the expression “herded at Rzhev” still circulates. This actually was a Moloch, which devoured their children. The heroism and self-sacrifice of some stood side-by-side with the negligence, oversights, blunders and at times even criminal behavior of others. The problem with material-technical supply, the mistakes in planning the combat operations on the whole and in separate operations, the shortcomings in controlling the forces, the leadership of the country and the Red Army’s Supreme Command tried to resolve at the expense of the “human factor”. The striving to achieve victory “at any cost”, at the expense of enormous human losses does not give evidence of the ability to fight according to Suvorov’s dictum – “Not with numbers, but by skill.” The acquisition of combat experience by the Red Army command and the leadership of the country came at too high a price.

Sandarmohk

Thanks for creating Sandarmokh. The 2018 information about "new investigations" was also covered by the Finnish national broadcaster Yle: in 2018. And two days ago, Ilta-Sanomat published awo extensive articles about the effort for digging up the site again: Interesting information that Johan Bäckman is leading the PR efforts there. In the article, Finnish historians wondered why the Russian researchers have not been interested in Finnish archives and straight suspected that it is a "propaganda stunt". I'm probably going to write something about these developments, but it's hard to write NPOV text without Russian sources. --Pudeo (talk) 18:37, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
