Hi, the article requires at least three reviewers supporting the A-class nomination, currently one two reviewers support this request. I pinged the other reviewer who had commented earlier to see if his concerns have been addressed. Some articles just take longer to attract enough reviewers.

I suggest curbing the "History" section altogether. I believe it was called "Overview" a few weeks ago and, to me, seems like a sort of second lede? Now that I've told you this, it's pretty hard to read and NOT consider it a second lede which seems rather pointless. What's your thoughts?

Hello. Last month there was a discussion concerning the size of the Nazi swastika in the Nazism sidebar which was peacefully resolved. However, recent edits from DasReichenz and Dannis243 are going against that consensus and are focusing on an old one from last year that chose the Nazi party emblem as the image. This consensus was made redundant by the consensus started by me and ended by you and I would appreciate your help in advising them to stop going against consensus. I considered speaking to them myself, but seeing their edit summaries leads me to believe that my words will fall on deaf ears. Your help is much appreciated.

Hi, Kierzek. I don't know much about WWII history, so I am wondering if you might take a look at Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp#Weapons research. The article reiterates the claims (fringe theory?) of a filmmaker who states that nuclear weapons research was being done there, but those claims appear to have been rejected by a panel of experts.

I am rather concerned about the implications of the ANI. A couple quotes:
I am indeed sickened and disturbed that all work he's done will have to be looked over for problems. I have difficulty seeing him as a devious mastermind systematically skewing these articles, and especially those that I've worked on. That's obviously just my ego, but I am alarmed at the consequences of this. GAB Hello! 23:11, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Wondering if you can help me with identifying suitable material for Sources, External links and Further reading, as I copyedit WWII articles. Here's a partial list:
Web sites:
Further reading
should probably not be used as "Further reading" in Fritz Witt article, given that the author is not a scholar.
Publishers
Some of the above examples (Yerger, Federowicz, Axis History, etc) can be found on Fritz Witt page, but I've seen some combination of those on many pages.
I assume none of the above qualifies as WP:RS source and should be removed when encountered if used as a reference. Is this assumption correct? External links and Further reading are more of a judgment call, and I would love to hear your opinion.
Sources Some specific questions about using the below as a source:
The author is a former officer and his wiki article states: "Fellgiebel himself indicated that the book is not official. The deteriorating situation of the Third Reich during the final days of World War II left a number of nominations incomplete and pending in various stages of the approval process; loss of evidence of the presentation was also an issue in the verification process. Author Veit Scherzer analyzed the German Federal Archives and found discrepancies in 193 instances of the original 7,322 listings by Fellgiebel (false acceptance rate of 2.6%)."
Are you familiar with this work? The fact of the commendations would not be in dispute, but I'm not sure what else the book provides. I wonder if it contains other material that may be taken at face value and result in some article written as if they were compiled from frontline commendation submissions, see Fritz Witt - Copyedits and inline citations.
It would seem that Scherzer probably supplants Fellgiebel in terms of what should be used in Wikipedia:
I would appreciate your thoughts on these materials and their proper use within Wikipedia. K.e.coffman ( talk) 05:52, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kierzek: I don't think JVL is a reliable source for the Waffen-SS article; if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll see that it's sourced back to Wikipedia. In general, I believe JVL to be more of content farm and thus a tertiary source at best. Any good content they have is usually sourced from other websites, such as Yad Vashem. What do you think? K.e.coffman ( talk) 19:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
@ Irondome: & Kierzek: I wonder if we should look at 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich next. Being one of the oldest divisions, it probably sees a decent amount of traffic. It's only partially sourced and stylistically sounds like much of the content comes from the Axis history forum. Any thoughts on this? K.e.coffman ( talk) 06:49, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
I put the English translation of the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service) in bold. You reverted my edit saying only titles or article names were put in bold. I just saw at the WP article for the National Assembly of Venezuela, that the name "National Assembly" is written in English and the Spanish translation in parenthesis is also in bold. Here's the link to the page so you can see for yourself. National Assembly of Venezuela. I'm not asking for the title to be in English, just that the English translation be in bold. I understand that names are in bold. Couldn't the English translation of the name be considered part of that name? I appreciate you realizing that the edit was in good faith. I just thought I'd suggest that maybe the English translation, being a translation of the name, could be in bold as well as the original name. NapoleonX ( talk) 05:11, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
You may want to have a look at Trigg, Jonathan (2015). Hitler's Gauls: The History of the 33rd Waffen-SS Division Charlemagne. The History Press. ISBN 978-0-7509-6711-2. It has a section on Fenet. I can't say anything about its quality. Cheers MisterBee1966 ( talk) 14:04, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey, don't want to seem unfriendly, but what's up with removing the link to an article about Joseph Goebbels' speech against the Catholics that was published in the Chicago Tribune the following day? As a teacher, I know students like to be able to track down those sorts of things, and I was under the impression that once a person released something on Wikipedia, they had agreed to allow edits. Not sure why you'd call it "unnecessary" since it does link to something that wasn't there before and which is absolutely relevant to research. At classical schools, we always teach our students to go to the primary sources, and so it's a bit confusing to me as to why someone would delete that. EDGRC
Thanks for directing me to these guidelines. I do have a question, though. Wikipedia states, "Every article on Wikipedia must be based upon verifiable statements from multiple third-party reliable sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. A third-party source is one that is entirely independent of the subject being covered, e.g., a newspaper reporter covering a story that they are not involved in except in their capacity as a reporter." Since my link was to a newspaper story about Goebbels' speech, would it not fit under the heading of a third-party reliable source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy? Could you clarify this for me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EDGRC ( talk • contribs) 20:39, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

I would have no problem moving the entire "Iraq" section to Foreign policy of the John F. Kennedy administration if you prefer. Iraq was not a particularly important part of Kennedy's presidency, except inasmuch as a number of revisionists suddenly began blaming Kennedy for the rise of the radical pro-Soviet wing of the Iraqi Ba'ath Party (which seized power in 1968)—and thus Saddam Hussein's 1979 ascension to President of Iraq—after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, even though such claims are factually inaccurate. I found it difficult to condense the material regarding the various measures taken by Qasim's government that resulted in his pariah status to the U.S. and much of the Arab world, or to correct the grossly inaccurate description of the November coup without going into a certain amount of detail regarding the structure of the short-lived Ba'athist regime of 1963.

In search for my next article, I started looking into the biography of Albrecht Brandi, U-boat commander. What I didn't realize until now, his father was Ernst Brandi, a top manager in the coal and steel industry, who was involved in the Secret Meeting of 20 February 1933, and helped fund the Nazi election campaign of 1933, which pinnacled in the Enabling Act of 1933. Do you happen to have more context info? I find it very fascinating that Albrecht received such high awards during World War II for so-so success as a U-boat commander, at least in comparison to others. Thoughts?

Noticed you cited a Miller book dated 2006, but see no Bibliographic entry. When you get a chance of course. By the way - isn't Chief of the Adutantur (Himmler's personal office) different than the appointment as liaison to Hitler? Didn't Fegelein end up supporting Himmler and Hitler just as Wolff did before? You called your change to Reitlinger's observation a correction.

Hi Kierzek - You may want to peruse the latest week's worth of discussion on the Talk page for the Ideology of the SS article as a couple of editors are trying to paint the contents as being intentionally praiseworthy to the Nazis - likewise suggesting that the editors have misused sources and the like. It's pretty offensive stuff. Zwerg Nase has rang in a couple places and so have I since they are taking their edits, insinuations, and criticism too far in my opinion. I'd also be curious about the opinion of @ Diannaa: on this subject and the manner in which these editors are insulting others by way of content and/or direct aspersions-- Obenritter ( talk) 21:21, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
I'm wondering if you may have time to look at 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf. It exibits familiar signs of the problematic W-SS content: no citations, poetic language, etc; in general, reads like a typical "war narrative". I think if could also stand some improvements in tone and condensing, based on what sources are available. Please let me know what you think. K.e.coffman ( talk) 01:09, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

I suggest curbing the "History" section altogether. I believe it was called "Overview" a few weeks ago and, to me, seems like a sort of second lede? Now that I've told you this, it's pretty hard to read and NOT consider it a second lede which seems rather pointless. What's your thoughts?

Hello. Last month there was a discussion concerning the size of the Nazi swastika in the Nazism sidebar which was peacefully resolved. However, recent edits from DasReichenz and Dannis243 are going against that consensus and are focusing on an old one from last year that chose the Nazi party emblem as the image. This consensus was made redundant by the consensus started by me and ended by you and I would appreciate your help in advising them to stop going against consensus. I considered speaking to them myself, but seeing their edit summaries leads me to believe that my words will fall on deaf ears. Your help is much appreciated.

Hi, Kierzek. I don't know much about WWII history, so I am wondering if you might take a look at Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp#Weapons research.

I am rather concerned about the implications of the ANI. A couple quotes:
I am indeed sickened and disturbed that all work he's done will have to be looked over for problems.

Wondering if you can help me with identifying suitable material for Sources, External links and Further reading, as I copyedit WWII articles. Here's a partial list:
Web sites:
Further reading
should probably not be used as "Further reading" in Fritz Witt article, given that the author is not a scholar.
Publishers
Some of the above examples (Yerger, Federowicz, Axis History, etc) can be found on Fritz Witt page, but I've seen some combination of those on many pages.
I assume none of the above qualifies as WP:RS source and should be removed when encountered if used as a reference. Is this assumption correct? External links and Further reading are more of a judgment call, and I would love to hear your opinion.
Sources Some specific questions about using the below as a source:
The author is a former officer and his wiki article states: "Fellgiebel himself indicated that the book is not official. The deteriorating situation of the Third Reich during the final days of World War II left a number of nominations incomplete and pending in various stages of the approval process; loss of evidence of the presentation was also an issue in the verification process. Author Veit Scherzer analyzed the German Federal Archives and found discrepancies in 193 instances of the original 7,322 listings by Fellgiebel (false acceptance rate of 2.6%)."
Are you familiar with this work? The fact of the commendations would not be in dispute, but I'm not sure what else the book provides. I wonder if it contains other material that may be taken at face value and result in some article written as if they were compiled from frontline commendation submissions, see Fritz Witt - Copyedits and inline citations.
It would seem that Scherzer probably supplants Fellgiebel in terms of what should be used in Wikipedia:

Hi Kierzek: I don't think JVL is a reliable source for the Waffen-SS article; if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll see that it's sourced back to Wikipedia. In general, I believe JVL to be more of content farm and thus a tertiary source at best. Any good content they have is usually sourced from other websites, such as Yad Vashem. What do you think? K.e.coffman ( talk) 19:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
@ Irondome: & Kierzek: I wonder if we should look at 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich next. Being one of the oldest divisions, it probably sees a decent amount of traffic. It's only partially sourced and stylistically sounds like much of the content comes from the Axis history forum. Any thoughts on this? K.e.coffman ( talk) 06:49, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
I put the English translation of the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service) in bold. You reverted my edit saying only titles or article names were put in bold. I just saw at the WP article for the National Assembly of Venezuela, that the name "National Assembly" is written in English and the Spanish translation in parenthesis is also in bold. Here's the link to the page so you can see for yourself. National Assembly of Venezuela. I'm not asking for the title to be in English, just that the English translation be in bold. I understand that names are in bold. Couldn't the English translation of the name be considered part of that name? I appreciate you realizing that the edit was in good faith. I just thought I'd suggest that maybe the English translation, being a translation of the name, could be in bold as well as the original name. NapoleonX ( talk) 05:11, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey, don't want to seem unfriendly, but what's up with removing the link to an article about Joseph Goebbels' speech against the Catholics that was published in the Chicago Tribune the following day? As a teacher, I know students like to be able to track down those sorts of things, and I was under the impression that once a person released something on Wikipedia, they had agreed to allow edits. Not sure why you'd call it "unnecessary" since it does link to something that wasn't there before and which is absolutely relevant to research. At classical schools, we always teach our students to go to the primary sources, and so it's a bit confusing to me as to why someone would delete that. EDGRC
Thanks for directing me to these guidelines. I do have a question, though. Wikipedia states, "Every article on Wikipedia must be based upon verifiable statements from multiple third-party reliable sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. A third-party source is one that is entirely independent of the subject being covered, e.g., a newspaper reporter covering a story that they are not involved in except in their capacity as a reporter." Since my link was to a newspaper story about Goebbels' speech, would it not fit under the heading of a third-party reliable source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy? Could you clarify this for me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EDGRC ( talk • contribs) 20:39, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

I would have no problem moving the entire "Iraq" section to Foreign policy of the John F. Kennedy administration if you prefer. Iraq was not a particularly important part of Kennedy's presidency, except inasmuch as a number of revisionists suddenly began blaming Kennedy for the rise of the radical pro-Soviet wing of the Iraqi Ba'ath Party (which seized power in 1968)—and thus Saddam Hussein's 1979 ascension to President of Iraq—after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, even though such claims are factually inaccurate. I found it difficult to condense the material regarding the various measures taken by Qasim's government that resulted in his pariah status to the U.S. and much of the Arab world, or to correct the grossly inaccurate description of the November coup without going into a certain amount of detail regarding the structure of the short-lived Ba'athist regime of 1963.

In search for my next article, I started looking into the biography of Albrecht Brandi, U-boat commander. What I didn't realize until now, his father was Ernst Brandi, a top manager in the coal and steel industry, who was involved in the Secret Meeting of 20 February 1933, and helped fund the Nazi election campaign of 1933, which pinnacled in the Enabling Act of 1933. Do you happen to have more context info?

Noticed you cited a Miller book dated 2006, but see no Bibliographic entry. When you get a chance of course.

Hi Kierzek - You may want to peruse the latest week's worth of discussion on the Talk page for the Ideology of the SS article as a couple of editors are trying to paint the contents as being intentionally praiseworthy to the Nazis - likewise suggesting that the editors have misused sources and the like. It's pretty offensive stuff. Zwerg Nase has rang in a couple places and so have I since they are taking their edits, insinuations, and criticism too far in my opinion. I'd also be curious about the opinion of @ Diannaa: on this subject and the manner in which these editors are insulting others by way of content and/or direct aspersions-- Obenritter ( talk) 21:21, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
