Talk:Karlheinz Deschner

message: Isn't it a real shame that Deschner's Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums (Christianity's Criminal History) hasn't been translated to English? I've already read some volumes... in Spanish!  —Cesar Tort 19:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I can find no reliable sources for the Prizes ("Karlheinz Deschner was awarded the Arno Schmidt Prize in 1988, succeeding Wolfgang Koeppen, Hans Wollschläger and Peter Rühmkorf. In June of 1993 he followed Walter Jens, Dieter Hildebrandt, Gerhard Zwerenz and Robert Jungk in winning the Alternative Büchner Prize and in July of 1993, following Andrei Sacharow and Alexander Dubcek, he was the first German to be recognized with the International Humanist Award. In the fall of 2001 he received the Erwin Fischer Prize, and in November of that year the Ludwig Feuerbach Prize as well.") the GHits seem to come from this article.  I've taken them out - they should be re-added only when sourced.  A claim on the author's website will not do! NBeale (talk) 06:51, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a little section with the prizes overview. It is translated from the referenced author's book, in which it can be found in an introductory section "Über den Autor". The book is available in the "Digitale Bibliothek Deutscher Klassiker" (CD 132), and can retrieved  from the Regenburg University - see ref in the article. Various parts of the text can be Gsearched with many hits, independent of the author's website. I guess all this can be taken as a WP:RS. I couldn't find a non-wiki-copy reference for the Serbian Academy. Cheers, DVdm (talk) 20:33, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

message: There is no reason to omit this category just because "Critics of Christianity" has been added. Categories are not mutually exclusive and both of these describe different things. Elizium23 (talk) 14:08, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: not wrong, however he critizised any denomination, hence the master category is more appropriate. Are there any cats like "critisism of the protestant church", "..of the orthodox church" etc.? If yes, they had to be added also, to keep the info balanced and complete.

replies: text: It is not a "master category" there are two separate non-diffusing categories. I would not object to additional specific categories as long as they comply with WP:CATV, i.e. can be sourced and written in the article. Right now the only specific church mentioned is the Catholic Church. Elizium23 (talk) 14:41, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  "Critics of the CC" is clearly a subcategory of "Critics of Ch". But anyhow, we can leave it as is. Nillurcheier (talk) 15:49, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Critics of the Catholic Church 

message: There is no mention of him ever being a member of the Catholic Church, much less when or how he left it. It seems that this sort of information could be gleaned from his own writings. Elizium23 (talk) 01:57, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
