The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

Karl, my copy of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich bears a 1959 copyright date. This date is repeated in This is Berlin, the collection of broadcasts published after Shirer's death. We also probably shouldn't be too specific about the page count in Rise and Fall, as that varies by edition, of which there have been many, of this spellbinding book. — JonRoma 06:13, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hitler

Karl, the info you inserted into Hitler was word for word accurate (I guess you are referring to this by naming Shirer - Machtan is not impeccable scholarship but the author of the fringe theory). However, the info was also mere details of which we could included thousands and your edit summary "Hitler's sexuality" betrayed your POV, as did your follow-up posting of a category. We will not have fringe hypothesis with bascically not a strain of credulity in the article, especially not by decreeing them as fact or by sneaking them in by not stating but alluding. I don't care what the Homosexual community thinks on this, I care for the Historical community and what it thinks on Machtan. How the deletion of poorly based, overblown claims that one of the biggest mass murderer in history were an homosexual can be considered "homophobic" is beyond even the wild extensions of that term one commonly encounters. If your care for procedure, than put it up for discussion on the Hitler talk page. Thanks very much. Str1977 16:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to read what Onefortyone/80.141. etal, who was placed on probation by the Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee for fabricating text that he inserted into Wikipedia, said to Simonides and CPMcE and Michael Dorosh as well as Str1977.

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 46% for major edits and 13% for minor edits. (Based on the last 113 major and 54 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 20:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wyss cannot edit about a person's alleged homosexuality/bisexuality

Wyss is unambiguously banned from any edits relating to a person's alleged homosexuality or bisexuality. Whether her claims on accuracy or inaccuracy are correct is immaterial. She cannot edit on the topic, period. I have blocked her for 24 hours for breaching the arbcom ruling. If she breaches the arbcom ruling again she will be blocked for a longer spell.

Misusing an admin's good name

Karl, be sure that Jtdirl will get to know about your misuse of his name. Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 20:30, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Stephanie von Hohenlohe, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Blocked ?

I don't know who User:Mushroom is, but if someone wishes to tell me why and where it was decided I should be blocked as a supposed "sockpuppet" of User:Ted Wilkes, please advise. Karl Schalike 18:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:ChiefJusticeLemieux.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:ChiefJusticeLemieux.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 22:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 8 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Lothar Machtan - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
William J. Stairs - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
