Hi. I've been enjoying your WWII montage for some time, but now someone is monkeying with it. Please help. Haber 21:39, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi! One of the images that you have used in your montage has been deleted. I marked the montage with a template that will give you 7 to 14 days to replace the image with another one. When you have replaced the image, feel free to remove the "No source since" template. Regards. Samulili 11:50, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
While I admire your great work with the montages, I have to say that I don't think five of the six images and approximately 16% of it in area should be from Europe. It was a truly global struggle. The Pacific War was fought by roughly one third of the total number of people involved in the war (see World War II casualties) and was much bigger in terms of area than the Euopean conflict, stretching from Mongolia to Alaska to Australia. Can I suggest that "Image:1anschluss.gif" is replaced, possibly by one relating to the China-Japan conflict? For example, the image on the right also connects to the unique atrocities committed in Nanjing as well. Thanks.

My reasons for the current selection of images (to view the image, click Commons:Image:WW2 TitlePicture For Wikipedia Article.jpg):
As you understand, my intention was to illustrate different aspects of the war, not necessarily warfare, theatres and nations. Nevertheless, I will think about it for a while, and see what other poeple think about this. So, if anyone else is reading this, please write your opinion here below.

Hi There. I was browsing a article about WW2. I Saw the pie chart you created for that particular article. I figured out that the percentages don't add up to 100% (Image URL, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WorldWarII-DeathsByAlliance-Piechart.png).
Hope this has been helpful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doomguy1001 ( talk • contribs) 09:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC).
Hello, Please make the picture of battle of Normandy half of it's size and add a ppicture from the battle of Stalingrad or Kursk. There were more then 20 Million Soviets who died in the, and in fact if not the Soviets the world was lost. It's really not fair to put the soviets in a "shade" on the image. Stalingrad and Kursk each were not less importent then Normandies, so please add one of them. M.V.E.i. 18:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Concensus reached As you could see here, there is a concensus on the fact my image for the World War 2 article fits more then the previous one. Anyway, i kept everything that was on your image, and furthermore, in the details of my image in the "author" i clearly said that it is mostly based on what was done by you. M.V.E.i. 15:29, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
I "understand" your reasons but I sincerely think you are wrong.
Your so-called "consensus" was formed by User:M.V.E.i., User:Vihljun, User:Kalan, User:Ezhiki, User:TigerK 69, User:Ilya1166, User:Alaexis within 5 days, and each supporter is Russian, each arguing for inclusion of a picture from Stalingrad! Please don't call this a serious consensus against an image selection which have stood stabile for years. I am sorry if I offend you, but this feels more like a Russian coup...hardly NPOV!
As I said before, the objective was not to cover different theatres of war. Now, the montage is seriously unbalanced with TWO images depicting the Soviet effort. What about those people who want one more Pacific image? Or China? Africa? Mediterranean? Atlantic? Now it is bad, and unfair, in my opinion.
A picture of bombed buildings which could be from anywhere in the world is certainly not a good selection. Furthermore, whether Stalingrad was the turning point of the war could certainly be debated (even though I agree it was one significant turning point). But what about Kursk? Invasion of Italy? Allied Strategic Bombing? Hell, even Pearl Harbor was a turning point, as Churchill said: "Now we have won the war".
Yet again, I suggest you read
and
Please consider this, before you enforce your views.
Artistically I think the montage is hurt by 6 equally sized images. Furthermore, you open up a can of worms by your inclusion of Stalingrad. I wouldn't be surprised if it will yield more discussions of other things "left out", and I wouldn't be surprised if the montage will grow into 8 or more pictures, which would be a disaster. I'd suggest you seriously reconsider your views, and seriously consider using the original montage, Image:WW2_TitlePicture_For_Wikipedia_Article.jpg.

Hi there. I noticed the work you did earlier this month on weeding out the pictures in World War II. I really think you were on the right track there. Unfortunately, things got reverted and re-reverted, and then the article got protected without your changes, and then the whole discussion got archived. Now there are more attempts to add unnecessary pictures to the sections dealing with the USSR. Would you consider raising the discussion again? Or are you thinking that the pictures can wait until the proposed restructure takes place? - Eron Talk 21:56, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Dna-Dennis.
Thanks for your comment. I've been following the discussion there in regards to the proposed transformation of the article. I pretty much agree with everything you and Oberiko have stated. If there's anything I see that needs to be address, I'll make sure to make it known. Thanks again. Parsecboy 01:11, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi again, Dna-Dennis
Go right ahead. I don't own the article anymore than anyone else does, afterall. It's just a little irritating that User:Senzangakhona continually inserts the Khatyn massacre image, that doesn't really belong on the WWII article, along with other unhelpful edits he/she keeps making. Parsecboy 22:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
commons:Image:Sopwith.Camel_in_flying.jpg was deleted because it didn't have a source. It needs to be replaced in commons:Image:WW1 TitlePicture For Wikipedia Article.jpg. Edward 15:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Howdy Dna.
Thanks for the words. As an FYI, we've posted the "complete" sections up at World War II/temp, though further tweaking will likely be needed. Where I think I'm going to need help will be in determining what's important enough to mention and what isn't. For example, in the last section, I'm omitting Dakar, Gabon, the French-Thai War, and some of the actions in the Battle of the Atlantic. If you think I'm not putting in something that should be there, or vice-versa, I'd appreciative it being pointed out. Oberiko 14:15, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dennis According to Soviet sources listed in Erlikman 6,850,000 Ukrainians died in the war including soldiers and civilians. These losses are for the entire territory of the USSR including territories annexed in 1939-40[3,20-21] I have a detailed breakout of the 6,850,000 in the book by Erlikman. I will give you the details when I get home from TaeKwando class this evening. They are in an Excel spreadsheet with the details of Erlikmans figures for each Soviet Republic. The key point to remember that Erlikmans numbers include 3 million dead in the annexed territories including 1.5 million Jews . Ukrainian losses were about 5.3 million in 1939 borders. Total USSR Jewish losses in the 1946-91 borders were about 2.5 million. Total Soviet dead were 26.6 million including 3 million in the annexed territories.-- Woogie10w 17:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I have an Excel spreadsheet for you-- Woogie10w 00:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words about the Franklin pic. A bit of nostalgia there, the original upload goes back to the days before image resizing, so it was actually one of a pair, the other being thumbnail-sized (thus the rationale for adding width to the name). Nice to know we have a hi-res one now! Stan 17:41, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Howdy Dna, that's a great picture of World War II casualties you made, very clean and concise. Good work! Oberiko 15:50, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
it`s mildly insulting that you left Canada, Australia and NZ off your chart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.175.66.94 ( talk) 10:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
This map shows the concentration camps of the 40ies with the state boarders of 2000. Thus it is unhistoric and useless and should be replaced quickly. A historical map should show the state borders of 38 and the range of the German occupation. As it looks now it says that Netherlands, France etc. have sent their Jews to Auschwitz.

I would like the editors of the Holocaust page to cooperate with me to clean up the section on non Jewish losses. I believe that the USHMM website should be used as guide to what is posted on that section of the page. The USHMM has credibility as a source and it is available on line for readers to verify.-- Woogie10w ( talk) 17:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the effort so far. Your map is far superior to what it replaced. The borders issue is a bit tricky. There are 4 sets worth considering, and I think the best options will combine two of them. 1937 borders (pre-Munich). 1942 borders (maximum extent of the 3rd Reich, showing altered borders of satellite states, the General-gouvernement, the reichskomissariats, etc. 1954 borders (post-war, Soviets out of Austria). Today's borders (after fall of wall changes).
Let me throw out my thinking for your consideration. I would recommend using the height of German power in Europe (November 1942), and then modern borders.
1942.
Colors with dashed lines could be used for 1942 (maybe one color for Germany, one for satellites/allies, one for occupied areas, one for neutral countries, one for Allies), and dotted boundaries for today? With different fonts for the 1942 and the 2007 names? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jd2718 ( talk • contribs) 22:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
FYI, all, - I am working on a new map, but it will still take some time. It's a little tricky, this stuff...(but I knew it would be). Jd2718's notes above were (and are) a great support. Regards, -- Dna-Dennis ( talk) 04:34, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks very much, Jd2718 and Woogie10w! You were both quite correct on everything you mentioned, and I have updated the map accordingly. Furthermore, I noticed that my (Poland) Generalgouvernement-borders were significantly wrong, and this has been corrected. Also, if anyone has time/opinions; there were more camps in SE Europe, and there is some space on the map for more. Does anyone know if some more camps are worth including in particular? Examples (maps from USHMM):
And, of course, further corrections/suggestions are happily received. Regards, -- Dna-Dennis ( talk) 17:08, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi could you either change colours to distinguish collaborating countries from occupied ones ? Or at least label countries occupied German name(occupied XXX). It would avoid the impression that they were collaborating.Ah, and also General Gouvernment was always called General Gouvernment by Germans, they avoided the name Poland in documents like fire.-- Molobo ( talk) 01:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC) Here are two maps that might be helpfull: [1] [2] -- Molobo ( talk) 02:00, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I would like to inform the reader of the previous texts about some serious misinterpretation of data concerning the number of Roma deaths. According to the information given only 2 percent of the holocaust deaths seem to be Roma. It is true that in the official data about Roma deaths in German concentration camps the number of Roma deaths is only 2 percent, however this does not mean that only 2 percent of the deaths of the Holocaust were Roma. The total amount of Roma deaths by holocaust is estimated on 600 000 up to 2 000 000. Especially in Eastern Europe estimations are hard to make, and defer a lot. However most investigators agree that the number of Roma deaths is at least 600 000. (This is 10 percent of the holocaust deaths). Roma were mainly executed by bullets on the place of arrestment (Roma-hunting), and therefore they are not counted in the data of the concentration camps. In the black see Roma were put on ships that were made to sink, in Croati¨they were killed in Concentration camps. Appart of the "total number of deaths" there is also the percentagte of deaths, which (in most research lay higher for Roma than for Judes, although here again estimations are hard to make.
Another Roma related error in the texts above, is the information about the first experiments with Zyklon-B. Those were executed on Roma children, the experiments on Russian adults came just after.
You can find more information about this on many sites and pages, also in wikipedia. When searchiong for information, not that the Roma-holocaust is often refered to as "Porajmos". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.195.61.232 ( talk) 11:09, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I think you made a mistake on [4]
You listed Yugoslav allied military deaths at 3%. This is what the source says: 'Military losses of 237,000 Yugoslav partisans and 209,000 Ustaše'. Judging from 3% being higher than the 2% of the United States, you've included the deaths of the Ustase, which are in fact Axis forces. Grey Fox ( talk) 02:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
That said Yugoslavia can also be added on the Axis Death diagram (The Ustase and the Chetniks), you can find the axis casualties for Yugoslavia here: Yugoslav Front (World War II) Grey Fox ( talk) 12:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

These losses are for the entire territory of the USSR including territories annexed in 1939-40[3,20-21] I have a detailed breakout of the 6,850,000 in the book by Erlikman. I will give you the details when I get home from TaeKwando class this evening. They are in an Excel spreadsheet with the details of Erlikmans figures for each Soviet Republic. The key point to remember that Erlikmans numbers include 3 million dead in the annexed territories including 1.5 million Jews . Ukrainian losses were about 5.3 million in 1939 borders. Total USSR Jewish losses in the 1946-91 borders were about 2.5 million. Total Soviet dead were 26.6 million including 3 million in the annexed territories.-- Woogie10w 17:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words about the Franklin pic. A bit of nostalgia there, the original upload goes back to the days before image resizing, so it was actually one of a pair, the other being thumbnail-sized (thus the rationale for adding width to the name). Nice to know we have a hi-res one now! Stan 17:41, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for relinking this for me. :) Wallie 09:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Howdy Dna, that's a great picture of World War II casualties you made, very clean and concise. Good work! Oberiko 15:50, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
it`s mildly insulting that you left Canada, Australia and NZ off your chart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.175.66.94 ( talk) 10:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
This map shows the concentration camps of the 40ies with the state boarders of 2000. Thus it is unhistoric and useless and should be replaced quickly. A historical map should show the state borders of 38 and the range of the German occupation. As it looks now it says that Netherlands, France etc. have sent their Jews to Auschwitz.

I would like the editors of the Holocaust page to cooperate with me to clean up the section on non Jewish losses. I believe that the USHMM website should be used as guide to what is posted on that section of the page. The USHMM has credibility as a source and it is available on line for readers to verify.-- Woogie10w ( talk) 17:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the effort so far. Your map is far superior to what it replaced. The borders issue is a bit tricky. There are 4 sets worth considering, and I think the best options will combine two of them. 1937 borders (pre-Munich). 1942 borders (maximum extent of the 3rd Reich, showing altered borders of satellite states, the General-gouvernement, the reichskomissariats, etc. 1954 borders (post-war, Soviets out of Austria). Today's borders (after fall of wall changes).
Let me throw out my thinking for your consideration. I would recommend using the height of German power in Europe (November 1942), and then modern borders.
1942.
Colors with dashed lines could be used for 1942 (maybe one color for Germany, one for satellites/allies, one for occupied areas, one for neutral countries, one for Allies), and dotted boundaries for today? With different fonts for the 1942 and the 2007 names? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jd2718 ( talk • contribs) 22:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
FYI, all, - I am working on a new map, but it will still take some time. It's a little tricky, this stuff...(but I knew it would be). Jd2718's notes above were (and are) a great support. Regards, -- Dna-Dennis ( talk) 04:34, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks very much, Jd2718 and Woogie10w! You were both quite correct on everything you mentioned, and I have updated the map accordingly. Furthermore, I noticed that my (Poland) Generalgouvernement-borders were significantly wrong, and this has been corrected. Also, if anyone has time/opinions; there were more camps in SE Europe, and there is some space on the map for more. Does anyone know if some more camps are worth including in particular? Examples (maps from USHMM):
And, of course, further corrections/suggestions are happily received. Regards, -- Dna-Dennis ( talk) 17:08, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi could you either change colours to distinguish collaborating countries from occupied ones ? Or at least label countries occupied German name(occupied XXX). It would avoid the impression that they were collaborating.Ah, and also General Gouvernment was always called General Gouvernment by Germans, they avoided the name Poland in documents like fire.-- Molobo ( talk) 01:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC) Here are two maps that might be helpfull: [1] [2] -- Molobo ( talk) 02:00, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Howdy Dna. No worries, I've been preoccupied with matters outside Wiki for awhile myself as well. Thanks for the assistance thus far already though, it was a large help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oberiko ( talk • contribs) 12:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello i am an australian student currently studying The Propaganda Ministry of Nazi Germany. In widely searching through Wikipedias files i came across a pictorical contribution of yours- it is a map that details where the ministry is in proximinatey to the Reich Chancellery. I was just wondering if you could please provide me with the details as to where you found this image ( Image:FuehrerBunkerBerlinLocation.jpg) as it is very useful to my paper.
Your efforts are much appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.70.180 ( talk) 08:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Denis, I need your help. Somebody put a tag on the photo "Lamenting the Dead" It is in the public domain according to Wiki Media [3]. How to I fix this? I don't want the photo deleted.-- Woogie10w ( talk) 02:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
I've seen this done, but haven't figured out how, so I'm hoping you can explain. I wanted to link to a particular (past) version of a page edit, to demonstrate exactly what edit I mean. How can I do it? Trekphiler ( talk) 19:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I tried using this great image you made about earth's obliquity, and someone deleted saying I didn't provide an authors real name. Is Dennis only your first name? Thanks! 24.8.147.6 ( talk) 07:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
Is there any particular reason why the

I would like to inform the reader of the previous texts about some serious misinterpretation of data concerning the number of Roma deaths. According to the information given only 2 percent of the holocaust deaths seem to be Roma. It is true that in the official data about Roma deaths in German concentration camps the number of Roma deaths is only 2 percent, however this does not mean that only 2 percent of the deaths of the Holocaust were Roma. The total amount of Roma deaths by holocaust is estimated on 600 000 up to 2 000 000. Especially in Eastern Europe estimations are hard to make, and defer a lot. However most investigators agree that the number of Roma deaths is at least 600 000. (This is 10 percent of the holocaust deaths). Roma were mainly executed by bullets on the place of arrestment (Roma-hunting), and therefore they are not counted in the data of the concentration camps. In the black see Roma were put on ships that were made to sink, in Croati¨they were killed in Concentration camps. Appart of the "total number of deaths" there is also the percentagte of deaths, which (in most research lay higher for Roma than for Judes, although here again estimations are hard to make.
Another Roma related error in the texts above, is the information about the first experiments with Zyklon-B. Those were executed on Roma children, the experiments on Russian adults came just after.
You can find more information about this on many sites and pages, also in wikipedia. When searchiong for information, not that the Roma-holocaust is often refered to as "Porajmos". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.195.61.232 ( talk) 11:09, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I think you made a mistake on [4]
You listed Yugoslav allied military deaths at 3%. This is what the source says: 'Military losses of 237,000 Yugoslav partisans and 209,000 Ustaše'. Judging from 3% being higher than the 2% of the United States, you've included the deaths of the Ustase, which are in fact Axis forces. Grey Fox ( talk) 02:07, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
That said Yugoslavia can also be added on the Axis Death diagram (The Ustase and the Chetniks), you can find the axis casualties for Yugoslavia here: Yugoslav Front (World War II) Grey Fox ( talk) 12:02, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
