There is quite a lot of sources on Stefanine, including Kershaw, Toland, Linge and Kubizek. The Wikipedia article on Stefanie is rather horribly written and doesn't have much meat on it. I will begin actively editing again very soon and my first job will be to complete the GA-expansion of Hitler's adjutants, but when that's done, do you want to start a GA-expansion of Stefanie with me? It seems to me that Stefanie is a somewhat unknown topic when it comes to Hitler; I, for instance, didn't know about her until years after I began reading about World War II and Hitler, so I think it could benefit hugely from some improvements. Should also be more interesting than writing about adjutants. What ya say? Jonas Vinther ( speak to me!) 15:37, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi. I saw some of a movie on Judith Exner recently, but Wikipedia doesn't have a page on it. And you may have an interest, I'm trying to get the Cuban Missile Crisis capitalized again, on the Cuban missile crisis talk page, just to stop JFK from rolling in his grave (he may have Exner in there).

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Vorbunker you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Peacemaker67 -- Peacemaker67 ( talk) 00:01, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
The article Vorbunker you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Vorbunker for things which need to be addressed.

Thanks for the heads up on the March talk page. It probably won't be moved unless a large consensus forms, to more such a page needs overwhelming support (or at least I'd think so). I've never read the page, so finding a glaring mistake in the lead was well worth the trip over there. I've played with the Jackie Kennedy template, could you take a look at it to see what else could be done. Wondering if Caroline's son (can't reacall is name) will be the next generation to run for office. A grandson of a president will do well in today's U.S. political climate, where relatives of presidents are all the rage (within the two opposite meanings of the word).

Bending the rules a bit (this is in my book), but something interesting to get your opinion about. So, the guys with the numbered Death's Head patches were part of the Concentration Camp guard companies. They were organized first into about twenty five companies spread out across five guard battalions and eventually reorganized five regiments - all separate both administratively and operationally from the actual camp staffs (I've always found that a bit strange). Photographs have the SS guards wearing numbers as high as 25. Anyway...the locations of the Guard Regiment headquarters are pretty well documented. However, I have found no information anywhere as to individual concentration camp guard companies (known as the Hundertschafter) like where they were individually stationed, lists of personnel, etc. Have you ever seen any material on this? Also, you probably know this already, but in 1942 when the camps were folded into the WVHA the guard companies became part of the internal camp staff and the numbers on the Death's Head were done away with. Even so, you see some guys wearing numbered death head patches as late as 1944. Wonder why... Thank you! - OberRanks ( talk) 14:25, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

It's not of any significant importance, but should Albrecht be listed under navy adjutants with Puttkamer since he was chosen for that role because of his qualifications, and somewhat chosen as an NSKK adjutant simply because Hitler pitied with him after his dismissal by Raeder?

Even though WP:GA does not list any length requirements, would you say that her article is simply too short? I know Toland also wrote some sentences regarding her, but much of that can also be found in Kubizek, and one can only write the information which is known about her life. What's your opinion on this? Jonas Vinther • ( speak to me!) 21:58, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Does "having a bad reputation" directly translate to being a prostitute when it comes to women or at least women from that era? In any case, I would suggest adding a link to prostitution in the sentence to ensure clarity. Jonas Vinther • ( speak to me!) 20:58, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
As you may or may not have noticed, I've spend the last two days significantly improving the Barbarossa article in my sandbox with the purpose of getting it to GA-status.

Normally, or at least on every single biography article I've seen on Wikipedia, you start off by wring "<name> is/was a <nationality> known for <something>", but Stefanie's article starts off "<name> is/was a <religion> known for <something>". Generally, I would oppose this, but since she is worthy of an article on Wikipedia solely because Hitler was in love with, I'd say it's of high importance to included in the lede that she was Jewish; by replacing "Jewish" with "Austrian" a person reading the lede might wonder why Hitler's obsession with her is so much significant that "all" the others. Don't you agree? Jonas Vinther • ( speak to me!) 21:18, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Well, it is (was) Friday night, so I'll finish the article in my sandbox tomorrow; feeling waaay to wasted to do anything right now, but collapsing on my bed! However, I have to get up early for work tomorrow, so I'll probably finish it before that, so I'll be sure to ping when I'm done. I'm thinking you could do the ce's and whatnot in my sandbox, and then after that I convert the whole thing into an actual article. Peace, Jonas Vinther • ( speak to me!) 01:33, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
The title is okay. I was glad to help form it up; it is a subject of interest for me; still needs a little work. Some may want to treat it as a list, akin to what happen with " List of Adolf Hitler's personal staff"; which as you know started as an article. Kierzek ( talk) 02:45, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm a subscriber to a local history magazine and obviously a lot of the content is associated with World War II. A few minutes ago, I came agro a section with the title "Hitler's food taster suffered for every bite". it was about Margot Wölk, who, according to the magazine, was more or less kidnapped by SS officers in Berlin and forced to relocate to Gross-Partsch, just three kilometers away from the Wolf's Lair. Do you think she should be included in the list of Hitler's personal staff as his food taster? Jonas Vinther • ( speak to me!) 15:04, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

In times of war (take World War II if you need a specific example), are basic POW treatment and moral standards required by law if they're are not part of the laws of war? For instance, Nick-D mentioned on the Barbarossa talk page in relation to the war crimes section, that although the Russians had not participated in the Geneva Convention, they could rely on the "basic standards of humanity" for protection. What's your legal understanding of this? Jonas Vinther • ( speak to me!) 22:09, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

We both agreed some time ago that reliability of Spartacus Educational is questionable at best, but even so I think it's wrong to remove it from "External links" sections. Why? Because it's, regardless of its reliability, a reasonably well-known encyclopedia and abundantly used reference site by students of America and Britain. After all, if Spartacus was considered a reliable source by the Wikipedia community it might as well have been used in the article rather then being placed in the "External links" section. Furthermore, IMDb is not reliable at all, but is linked in the "External links" section in almost every movie article; think this is the same principle.

I starting improving Edda Göring back in May 2014 with the aim of getting it to GA-status. For reasons I can't recall, I never finished, but got quite far; when I stumbled across it today, very little had to be done to make a qualified GA-nom (only problem now is lots of ISBN's missing in source section which I will fix later on). Unless I'm starting to annoy you with all these request, I would appreciate some copyedits, and especially if you could review all the paragraphs.

Progress is slow on Goebbels. I am reading Thacker and Longerich trying to get up to the point chronologically in the sources where I can add to the chronology in the article. Meanwhile I paused yesterday and edited the antisemitism / Holocaust material, so that I could remove some of the post-it tabs from the source books. I have booked off the week of June 15 and hope to finish or be close to it by the end of that week. Someone has placed a hold on the Longerich book and the Thacker book is due back on the 16th.

Was re-watching one of my favorite WWII documentaries a few hours ago and naturally Himmler appeared in some of the clips. This time I noticed a white V symbol on his right arm, placed between the shoulder and elbow. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is some sort of "mark of loyalty" Hitler gave to the earliest Nazi supporters right? Do you think I should create an article about it? At first it would obviously be a stud, but I have some history magazine sources on the V symbol that could expand such a stud. What's ya think?

Weil ich keine Kenntnis über die Schriften von Infield habe, werde ich dein Urteil vertrauen. Wir sind aber gar nicht über den Wert der akademischen Bücher basierend auf Datum der Veröffentlichung einverstanden. Das hat keine Bedeutung in Bezug auf wissenschaftliche Zuverlässigkeit - zumindest in meiner Meinung oder die Einschätzung andere Gelehrten. Beispielweise man musst die entsprechende beispielhafte Arbeit von Shirer, Fritz Stern, Neumann, oder J. P Stern in Betrachtung nehmen. Nimmst Du keine Bücher weg, nur weil Du denkst, es datiert ist. Wenn man das für andere Faktoren wie wissenschaftliche Überprüfbarkeit macht, das ist doch in Ordnung. Hoffentlich diese Angelegenheit ist erledigt. -- Obenritter ( talk) 03:15, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

|last1=

to each source book. I have changed "Burleigh 1968" to "Burleigh 2000" as that matches the ISBN number. This book had a first edition date of 2000, so it must be the one? please confirm. For how to do a chapter in a book edited by one person but authored by another, there's examples in

Hello,
Hope you're doing well. I am currently engaged in a lengthy dispute resolution process over at No Gun Ri Massacre, which has seen a very heated debate between Cjhanley and WeldNeck which has seethed for years.
Part of it revolves around a sourcing dispute, namely, the credibility of the U.S. No Gun Ri Review Report, the initial AP reports (particularly the credibility of certain eyewitnesses), and of historian Robert Bateman. In general, the page has been a battleground, with frequent personal attacks, accusations of POV, bold edits against consensus, and so on, although it has calmed down as of late. It is important to note that Cjhanley is in fact one of the AP reporters who initially broke the No Gun Ri story, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize; also, WeldNeck has accused him of a conflict of interest. Both editors have compiled extensive lists of their grievances, and have dragged one another to ANI: [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] WeldNeck also attacked Cjhanley as a sockpuppeteer: [11]. Neither editor is blameless, to say the least. I filed a DRN quite some time ago.
For some time, I, along with Timothyjosephwood, Wikimedes, and Irondome have attempted to mediate, and we have successfully imposed an unofficial "freeze" on editing the page without prior proposals. The page has been fairly quiet for a while. Unfortunately, there has recently been some adding and reverting of content, as the "freeze" has begun to thaw out: [12] [13] [14] [15] I would appreciate any help an experienced editor such as yourself could offer. If you are interested, I can also provide some sources to provide background, although some can also be found on the page's external links category.
Thanks very much, GAB ( talk) 01:40, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

There is quite a lot of sources on Stefanine, including Kershaw, Toland, Linge and Kubizek. The Wikipedia article on Stefanie is rather horribly written and doesn't have much meat on it. I will begin actively editing again very soon and my first job will be to complete the GA-expansion of Hitler's adjutants, but when that's done, do you want to start a GA-expansion of Stefanie with me? It seems to me that Stefanie is a somewhat unknown topic when it comes to Hitler; I, for instance, didn't know about her until years after I began reading about World War II and Hitler, so I think it could benefit hugely from some improvements. Should also be more interesting than writing about adjutants. What ya say? Jonas Vinther ( speak to me!) 15:37, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up on the March talk page. It probably won't be moved unless a large consensus forms, to more such a page needs overwhelming support (or at least I'd think so). I've never read the page, so finding a glaring mistake in the lead was well worth the trip over there. I've played with the Jackie Kennedy template, could you take a look at it to see what else could be done. Wondering if Caroline's son (can't reacall is name) will be the next generation to run for office.

Bending the rules a bit (this is in my book), but something interesting to get your opinion about. So, the guys with the numbered Death's Head patches were part of the Concentration Camp guard companies. They were organized first into about twenty five companies spread out across five guard battalions and eventually reorganized five regiments - all separate both administratively and operationally from the actual camp staffs (I've always found that a bit strange). Photographs have the SS guards wearing numbers as high as 25. Anyway...the locations of the Guard Regiment headquarters are pretty well documented. However, I have found no information anywhere as to individual concentration camp guard companies (known as the Hundertschafter) like where they were individually stationed, lists of personnel, etc. Have you ever seen any material on this? Also, you probably know this already, but in 1942 when the camps were folded into the WVHA the guard companies became part of the internal camp staff and the numbers on the Death's Head were done away with. Even so, you see some guys wearing numbered death head patches as late as 1944. Wonder why... Thank you! - OberRanks ( talk) 14:25, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Even though WP:GA does not list any length requirements, would you say that her article is simply too short?

Normally, or at least on every single biography article I've seen on Wikipedia, you start off by wring "<name> is/was a <nationality> known for <something>", but Stefanie's article starts off "<name> is/was a <religion> known for <something>". Generally, I would oppose this, but since she is worthy of an article on Wikipedia solely because Hitler was in love with, I'd say it's of high importance to included in the lede that she was Jewish; by replacing "Jewish" with "Austrian" a person reading the lede might wonder why Hitler's obsession with her is so much significant that "all" the others. Don't you agree? Jonas Vinther • ( speak to me!) 21:18, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm a subscriber to a local history magazine and obviously a lot of the content is associated with World War II. A few minutes ago, I came agro a section with the title "Hitler's food taster suffered for every bite". it was about Margot Wölk, who, according to the magazine, was more or less kidnapped by SS officers in Berlin and forced to relocate to Gross-Partsch, just three kilometers away from the Wolf's Lair.

In times of war (take World War II if you need a specific example), are basic POW treatment and moral standards required by law if they're are not part of the laws of war?

We both agreed some time ago that reliability of Spartacus Educational is questionable at best, but even so I think it's wrong to remove it from "External links" sections. Why? Because it's, regardless of its reliability, a reasonably well-known encyclopedia and abundantly used reference site by students of America and Britain. After all, if Spartacus was considered a reliable source by the Wikipedia community it might as well have been used in the article rather then being placed in the "External links" section. Furthermore, IMDb is not reliable at all, but is linked in the "External links" section in almost every movie article; think this is the same principle.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is some sort of "mark of loyalty" Hitler gave to the earliest Nazi supporters right? Do you think I should create an article about it?

Thanks, now about that SS-Volksmarschall rank. ;) Kierzek ( talk) 14:02, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Rochus Misch you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jonas Vinther -- Jonas Vinther ( talk) 22:20, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
The article Rochus Misch you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Rochus Misch for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

done! please check if this is correct. Those listed with a generic generals rank are probably all "General der ..." and are ranked above Generalleutnant and below Generaloberst MisterBee1966 ( talk) 17:54, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Fantastic job in handling the GA-review of Schaub, look forward to a Barnstar. :) I don't know if you've spotted, but Salon Kitty's GA-review is also open. Lots of points been made and I have "fixed" most of them which you see via the link. You might be interested in sharing your thoughts as well.

Weil ich keine Kenntnis über die Schriften von Infield habe, werde ich dein Urteil vertrauen. Wir sind aber gar nicht über den Wert der akademischen Bücher basierend auf Datum der Veröffentlichung einverstanden. Das hat keine Bedeutung in Bezug auf wissenschaftliche Zuverlässigkeit - zumindest in meiner Meinung oder die Einschätzung andere Gelehrten. Beispielweise man musst die entsprechende beispielhafte Arbeit von Shirer, Fritz Stern, Neumann, oder J. P Stern in Betrachtung nehmen. Nimmst Du keine Bücher weg, nur weil Du denkst, es datiert ist. Wenn man das für andere Faktoren wie wissenschaftliche Überprüfbarkeit macht, das ist doch in Ordnung. Hoffentlich diese Angelegenheit ist erledigt. -- Obenritter ( talk) 03:15, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
As you know i'm om vacation at the moment, but me addition caused me to log in today to snoop and sniff around a bit. The bad thing is i'm forced to type om this freaking annoying touch iPad keyboard which is so tiny; my fingers almost touch al the bottoms at once. Even more annoying, the grammatik is set at Danish so every other word i type is a typo! I also can't capatilize or Italiceze words. Lastly, my the internet jumps on and off. Under these condirions, i can't edit wiki properly. Anyways, i just wanted to inform you i've seen all the work and expansion you did on Hitler's bodyguard article and loved what i saw. The article is much better. When i saw a lot of the new editions i thought, "Why didnt i Think of that?" ;) keep up the good work. Hope this dano-english messege is readable. :) Jonas Vinther • ( Click here to collect your price!) 15:18, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
While I sent this same message to Jonas, it seems he is on vacation. If you get a moment, please look at my addition to the article - paying particular attention to the citations number 24-25 taken from Racial Science in Hitler's New Europe, 1938-1945. Since I am not sure how to cite an author's chapter within a book, it might need to be reworked for 'harv' citation continuity. Thanks-- Obenritter ( talk) 00:04, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
|last1=
rather than |author1=
, and you need to add |ref=harv
to each source book. I have changed "Burleigh 1968" to "Burleigh 2000" as that matches the ISBN number. This book had a first edition date of 2000, so it must be the one? please confirm. For how to do a chapter in a book edited by one person but authored by another, there's examples in
Auschwitz Concentration Camp (Piper, Gutman, Lifton, etc, all from Anatomy of the Auschwitz Death Camp). I have reformatted your citation,
here. --

Have you seen the movie? It's really, really good. Despite being a black-and-white movie from 1935, it ranks among my favorites. Definitely recommend. :) Jonas Vinther • ( Click here to collect your price!) 16:24, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Have you seen this Spiegel article? It stated that Eva Braun had a crush on Fegelein and would have considered a relationship with him if Hitler would have "released" her. MisterBee1966 ( talk) 08:29, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
Been working on a little something special these past few days. Should, at all expectations, be finished my tomorrow. I'll be sure to throw you a link as one of the first. Peace, Jonas Vinther • ( Click here to collect your price!) 23:04, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Please watch this, especially because of this, which I suspect because of this. Thanks! - O.R. Comms 01:33, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
Hope you're doing well. I am currently engaged in a lengthy dispute resolution process over at No Gun Ri Massacre, which has seen a very heated debate between Cjhanley and WeldNeck which has seethed for years.
Part of it revolves around a sourcing dispute, namely, the credibility of the U.S. No Gun Ri Review Report, the initial AP reports (particularly the credibility of certain eyewitnesses), and of historian Robert Bateman. In general, the page has been a battleground, with frequent personal attacks, accusations of POV, bold edits against consensus, and so on, although it has calmed down as of late. It is important to note that Cjhanley is in fact one of the AP reporters who initially broke the No Gun Ri story, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize; also, WeldNeck has accused him of a conflict of interest. Both editors have compiled extensive lists of their grievances, and have dragged one another to ANI: [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] WeldNeck also attacked Cjhanley as a sockpuppeteer: [11]. Neither editor is blameless, to say the least. I filed a DRN quite some time ago.
For some time, I, along with Timothyjosephwood, Wikimedes, and Irondome have attempted to mediate, and we have successfully imposed an unofficial "freeze" on editing the page without prior proposals. The page has been fairly quiet for a while. Unfortunately, there has recently been some adding and reverting of content, as the "freeze" has begun to thaw out: [12] [13] [14] [15] I would appreciate any help an experienced editor such as yourself could offer. If you are interested, I can also provide some sources to provide background, although some can also be found on the page's external links category.
Thanks very much, GAB ( talk) 01:40, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
