I removed one citation to Clemens Range: diff. This is intricate detail and immaterial. The publication itself has been described as neo-Nazi in this discussion: User talk:Hawkeye7/Archive 2016#Neo-Nazi publications. Please let me know if there are any concerns.

The opinion of one editor is not sufficient. This is a featured article, and the information is entirely relevant. Dishonest edit summaries are disruptive. Dapi89 ( talk) 16:48, 16 March 2017 (UTC) reply

I consider the statement to be trivia and unnecessary: "Lindemann was the 94th recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross in the Kriegsmarine. ^[1]"

If he were the 4th recipient, then maybe it would be worth including, but the 94th? K.e.coffman ( talk) 19:57, 16 March 2017 (UTC) reply

K.e. and I don't often agree on what constitutes "intricate detail", and I can't speak to the reliability or otherwise of the source, but I also think there is no reason to include this particular detail -- first few or last few should be worth mentioning but beyond that seems a bit unnecessary.

It is interesting and worthy of note. It doesn't matter which number it was. And above all, it is a fact. Dapi89 ( talk) 18:20, 18 March 2017 (UTC) reply

The inclusion of this material fails WP:DUE. K.e.coffman ( talk) 20:28, 30 March 2017 (UTC) reply

Opinion. This is a fact. Reverted. Dapi89 ( talk) 15:41, 31 March 2017 (UTC) reply

I've reached out to the WP:NPOVN. The thread is Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Fringe source in WWII bio article. K.e.coffman ( talk) 19:46, 31 March 2017 (UTC) reply
