Hallo, I see you've put the On the Jewish Question article into the Category: Anti-Judaism. I guess the reason is that Marx's essay is considered to take a standpoint hostile to Judaism. I've removed the article from that category again. Please note that the article gives the sourced information that most critical scholars reject the argument that Marx would be an anti-Semit (I have not checked that source myself). So there must be a good reason to put the article into the category "anti-judaism". Schwalker 08:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the report to AIV as there was only one minor warning given to the ip. Furthermore, it appears that this might be a content dispute since the ip is substituting text. I have commented at their talkpage that this is inappropriate and that changes should be discussed and consensus gained for such changes. If the ip continues to ignore discussion then warn them, and if they ignore the warnings bring it back to AIV. Thanks. LessHeard vanU 11:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Okay, you reported 172.163.27.244 ( talk · contribs) on the page ( diff) for "insulting me on their talk-page after a warning". I'm not sure which IP you are talking about here, but looking through this IP's contributions, I see no edits to any talk pages. Initially, when I removed your report, I had not checked that user's contributions, and just looked at the talk page and saw no warnings for the supposed insults. My apologies if this incident has caused you any incovenience. On a side note, articles that are currently being edit-warred over are not semi-protected, but rather are full protected (see Wikipedia:Protection policy) ~ Sebi [talk] 11:28, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
If you were aware of the controversy, but have deliberately not reflected that in the article, then it would a form of intellectual dishonesty and against the spirit of cooperative and consensual editing of Wikipedia. So I will assume that you are not aware of the controversy, and therefore encourage you to read more widely before you contribute to the article in question. In the meantime, I will endeavour to find you a reference. Grant | Talk 17:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
You removed material from this article with the edit summary, "Hitler as a vegetarian -removed sentence which did not contribute to the article's topic; neither savitridevi.org nor S. Devi herself are a reliable source)". [1] I am not the author of this material, nor do I care much for its inclusion, but Devi isn't being used as a reliable source - Devi's position is being represented in relation to her beliefs about Hitler's vegetarianism. If there is a question about the accuracy of these statements, or their interpretation, please raise that issue on the talk page, but claiming the source isn't reliable when it is used to represent the proponent, isn't a valid argument. — Viriditas | Talk 08:11, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your long explanation nad please excuse me that I'm not able at the moment to address each source that you've presented. I still can't see that they would sufficiently support the sentence in the wikipedia article:
I don't know of a clear statement by H. himself or a scholar ascribing to him that the had such a belief. For example, vegetarianism was not a part of the Nuremberg laws, and is not mentioned in " Racial policy of Nazi Germany". I think the article should not confuse things which in deed may be interconnected, but in a different way. Vegetarianism and environmentalism were according to some scholars a part of Nazi ideology. Most scholars agree that H. himself practiced or pretended some form of vegetarianism. But this alone does not imply that we should ascribe a belief to H. that vegetarianism would be an effective means to "protect" or "spiritually renew" an Aryan race. -- Schwalker ( talk) 19:35, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Now I've looked up Robert Procter: The Nazi War on Cancer, p. 136. He writes (with additional boldface emphasize by me on passages which seem to support my doubts):
Hitler appears to have given up meat in 1931, though the reasons behind his decision (if reasons are to be expected in such matters) are not entirely clear. Several of his biographers point to the influence of the nationalist antisemitic composer, Richard Wagner. In an 1881 essay, Wagner had claimed that the human race had become contaminated and impure through racial mixing and the eating of animal flesh (the original human diet in his viewe, too, was vegetarian); a new kind of socialism was needed to purify Germany of these twin evilsm calling upon "true and hearty fellowship with the vegetarians, the protectors of animals, and the friends if temperance" to save the German people from Jewish aggression. Wagner claimed that abstaining from a fleshy diet would allow a human redemption - possibly even for the Jews.[43] Hitler seems to have taken at least part of the message to heart: "I don't touch meat largely of what Wagner says on the subject."[44]
To summarize: For Procter, Hitlers reasons for vegetarianism are not entirely clear, Wagner's position was that vegetarianism would allow human, not just "Aryan" redemption, and Hitler seems to have taken part of the message to heart, which is not necessarily the whole of Wagner's concept.
Greetings, -- Schwalker ( talk) 11:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Hitler believed that a vegetarian diet could both alleviate his personal health problems and according to the racial policy of Nazi Germany, spiritually renew the Aryan race.
Only the "pure-blooded" Aryan type, the highest, was essential to the organic whole....Non-Aryan types were sub-human and degenerate accretions which were ranked biologically between human beings and chimpanzees. They were described by the S.S. Main Office as "a creation of nature, apparently completely similar biologically to the human with hands, feet, and a sort of brain, with eyes and mouth, which is, however, completely different, a horrible creature who is only an attempt at being human..." It was the value of a people (Volkswert), of a living race, that was the basic unit of measurement of worth for Hitler. The members of the Aryan race were considered fully human. (Walter et al. 1990. ISBN 0809131919)
The vision of the future was a world where animals would not be unnecessarily harmed...meat-eating became a symbol of the decay of other civilizations; and vegetarianism became a symbol of the new, pure civilization that was to be Germany's future....Wagner's thinking was particularly influential...The human race, Nazis argued, had become contaminated and impure through a mixing of the races and the eating of animal flesh. "Regeneration of the human race" was linked to animal protection and vegetarianism. Wagner's principal concern was with the biological purification of Germany and its political future. He believed that socialists had to ally with vegetarians, animal protectionists, and friends of temperance to save mankind from Jewish aggression...In an essay, entitled "Heldentum und Christenheit" (Heroism and Christianity), Wagner articulated an anti-Semitic theory of history, which linked vegetarianism to Germany's future... (Arluke, Sanders. 1996. ISBN 1566394414)
I'm afraid you still carry out original research by combining facts and asumptions in order to arrive at a new theory:
However, now you combine these points to conclude: Hitler ... believed that (only) a civilization composed of Aryans could be regenerated through vegetarianism, and this according to the racial policy of Nazi Germany. But we don't have a direct quote to support this conclusion, and to construct such a synthesis on our own is prohibited for an author of Wikipedia. -- Schwalker ( talk) 19:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Schwalker. Okay. Firstly, the neutrality template. See Wikipedia:BLP#Privacy_of_birthdays. The birth date will not be re-added to the article, and if that's the reason for the neutrality template, it really should not be there.
This edit ( [3]) is telling - you seem to want de Zayas labeled as a revisionist. Any such claim will need multiple very reliable sources. Such a notable figure's being a revisionist would not be confined to one cherry-picked review from an online discussion forum ( [4]), unless the claim was a nonsense.
This is also, I believe, why you want the award from the Ingolstadt Research Institute for Contemporary History included, and to describe them as a "far-right revisionist group". I can't find any evidence of this being the case. I find evidence of their being revisionist (eg [5]), but not "far right". You say "I'm not sure how problems can be solved by silencing important facts". The onus is upon you to show how the group is important and hence if their award deserves mention - do they have an article? A useful and typical cut-off point for whether awards should be included on an English Wikipedia biography is whether the awarding group has an article. 08:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
As far as I can see, the paper "The ‘Practical Turn’and the Convergence of Traditions" by M Luntley, Philosophical Explorations 1998 is not on politices but on philosophical logic. Since I don't have access to the text, I would guess that the author doesn't really claim that Bill Clinton was a crook, but that he only uses the sentence as a hypothetical example. Teachers often use such examples in their class to address their students on an emotional level and motivate them to start thinking on their own. However, I've readded a more accurate version of the critique of de Z.' alleged revisionism with two additional citations of H-Net reviews, one calling de Z. a revisionist, and the other describes the reviewed book as nearly frankly revisionist, and in particular critisizes a chapter written by Z.

Dear Schwalker,
I noticed you restored the Prominent Marxist list on the Marxist sidebar as a large collection of names.
The Frankford School, I'd point out right away and as a side note, is not an individual, and if it was, its mother must have hated it, what would it call itself - T.F. School?
Anyway, couldn't help myself there, when we speak of prominent Marxists its Marx, Engels and Lenin. They are the major contributors, period. Most people would include Trotsky (though he is despised in some quarters despite being probably more famous than Lenin historically by his own actions/writing), and I think its justified to include Luxemburg and Kautsky. Especially Gramsci and Bertstein in a way are real stretches, though, IMO.
The others--- Most people don't know of them, they are not prominent, either popularly, or theoretically, on the level of Marx and Engels- which is the defining issue when you put M&E into a list like this. Why can't they all be resigned to the "More Marxists" section? You say "You Can't Get Around" some of the obscure individuals who are unknown outside of their currents, but to a non-Marxist who is most likely to come upon this box, your diluting the truly famous Marxists with scores of relative unknowns, which is very anti-social, you know.
So-hopefully you'll mull that over, all I'm saying is:

This is exactly why editors like you Schwalker are needed who have the knowledge to expand these stubs. The point is that Claussen is a member of the SPD and most of the time implies that they are a politician. Most of the articles started are politicians but we can't be held accountable for the several who may not be and are just party members and may be sociologists or whatever. We run by categories and picked up weiss through his article being categorized as a CDU politician. Please do not scold ALbert in the way that you did when most of the article started are politicians and is obvious from German wikipedia. Most of his and my stubs do make sense. The system is taken from german wikipedia where the articles are organised by party under German politicians by party'. I am certain that the vast majority in the lists are politicians, there may be a number who have got mixed in for being party members and not much else. Either way these srtubs are a start, and whether Claussen is a sociologist or not, it leaves the gateway open to editors such as yourself who know who they are and can expand them accordingly.

"Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. ... Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism."
Please do not throw accusations of "vandalism" around lightly, even in edit summaries. This is especially true when an editor provides information supporting the validity of the edit quoted directly from Wikipedia policies, such as WP:USER#NOTOWN.
