Wikipedia talk:Featured article candidates/Hinduism/archive2

message: Hinduism is looking much better than before. I think it is at the level of a featured article. HeBhagawan 00:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Being a Hindu from India and having attempted to edit the article, my experience is, no worthy edits are allowed in the article and the same is tried to be monopolised by a single editor.  To me, the article is projecting improper connotation of the subject Hinduism.  The references lead to a book source page and is not true reference to the respective text incorporated.  The article is victim of sock-puppetry.  Incivility is used to discourage other editors.  Even if, the layout or the text is otherwise good, the article has to do  justice to the subject matter but the article is forced to be devoid of logics of Hinduism doctrines and created to be seen Hinduism doctrines as superstitious which as a Hindu, I object.  In principle, the article should be free for worthy edits which under one or other pretext or by sock-puppetry tactics is prevented from.  It would be apparent from the talk page of Hinduism that incivility is freely used to discourage other edits.  Citations for the matter of general knowledge of Hindus is sought and removed whereas other matters without due citations or supported by improper or false citations incorporated by a single editor or a group stay.
Is this all done to get FAC? then it's wrong.
While feeling honour as a Hindu, if, this article is nominated as FAC, I in principle plead that it should be considered whether right cause is backed by right means? Swadhyayee 07:34, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Gerhard von Schwerin

message: "Saviour of Aachen": 
* In an attempt to prevent civilian casualties and to protect the city's historical architecture and relics (it was the ancient centre of Charlemagne's empire, or the Holy Roman Empire), he left a letter at the telegraph office to be given to the American commander, General Courtney Hodges, informing him of his intention to surrender the city without an armed struggle. Later, when he learned that the Americans had stopped to regroup and that an attack was not imminent, he tried to retrieve the message, but it had fallen into the hands of Nazi party officials. Upon learning of the note's contents, Adolf Hitler ordered Schwerin's arrest and trial for treason. With the aid of General Field Marshals Gerd von Rundstedt and Walter Model however he escaped death and received only a severe reprimand.
Not according to sources: "no defiance of orders or humanitarian action. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:26, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The US official history says that he left a note asking the Americans to treat the population humanely, but may not have been aware of Hitler's attitudes to actions such as this (see page 71 of ). von Schwerin later launched a counter-attack which he knew would lead to fighting in the city (page 75) and remained in command of the city's defences until he was relieved of command (pages 81-82). This is in full agreement with Kershaw's analysis, which notes that he only stopped the evacuation of the city and didn't deserve a reputation as its "saviour". He certainly didn't surrender the place. Nick-D (talk) 07:32, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Grandchildren 

message: The following paragraph:
Whilst Schwerin was at the Academy the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler seized autocratic governing power in a paramilitary political revolution in Berlin, abolished the Weimar Republic state with the passing into law of the Enabling Act of 1933, and declared an ideological militarist dictatorship described as the Third Reich, fundamentally altering the post-World War political order in Europe.
Firstly, the seizure of power in 1933 was not a "paramilitary political revolution". Secondly, the Enabling Act was not passed by Hitler, but by the Reichsrat and Reichstag, then signed by von Hindenburg. The "[declaring of] an ideological militarist dictatorship described as the Third Reich" also sounds like a badly written account from a low-end newspaper.
Perhaps these inaccuracies should be corrected and the style amended to be more scholarly than sensational. FormalRS (talk) 02:12, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Guillaume Henri Dufour

message: The article Swiss Armed Forces states that Dufour served as the Federal General of Switzerland twice in his career: 1847–1848 and 1856–1857. However, the article General (Switzerland) states that he served three times: beginning in 1849, 27 December 1856, and 1859. There are at least two discrepancies between these two articles. Additionally, the single source "Swiss Armed Forces" cites for this can only be accessed if one is subscribed, and "General (Switzerland)" cites no source at all. Even worse, this article does not mention his two/three terms as general at all. Some help would be greatly appreciated. --1990'sguy (talk) 23:12, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Todd Shipyards (soccer)

message: I'm not sure what takes precedence here, but it seems like the soccer team was probably named for the shipyard, and is not nearly as notable as the shipyard. I've looked through the history the company gives, but it doesn't note a name change. One item from the fact sheet says "Todd Pacific Shipyards is a wholly owned subsidiary of Todd Shipyards Corporation." Marketwatch says Todd Shipyards Corporation ticker:TOD "operates the Shipyard through a wholly owned subsidiary, Todd Pacific Shipyards Corporation 'Todd Pacific'." I'm not sure how to fix this, but maybe there should be 3 pages. Todd Shipyards Corporation for the corporation ticker TOD which owns Todd Pacific Shipyards, the actual shipyards in Seattle and historically other areas and this one to disambiguate and/or Todd Shipyards (soccer team). The soccer team is definitely a minor player in this story since it is likely named for the shipyard. --Dual Freq 00:38, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I was somewhat baffled by the preceding extract which was in the 'Post-war' section, but the fog started to clear when I read the line: from the German Wikipedia and quotes such as: "Commander of the 3rd ship department", "commander of convoy ships", "the volunteer adoption headquarters" & "blocking and artillery". I think the translation has been a bit too literal, but apart from changing 'artillery' to 'gunnery', I'm not too sure what is meant with the others.

Talk:Hugo Sperrle

message: An article called "Bomber Boys: Good men doing an ugly job" by Patrick Bishop, in BBC History magazine Vol 8 no 3, March 2007 page 17 first paragraph, states that:
:Hugo Sperrle, commander of the German Air Fleet Three, was not charged at the Nuremberg trials with war crimes relating to the Blitz, for fear of drawing attention to the damage done to German cities.
Patrick Bishop who writes in the Daily Telegraph has written a book called "Bomber Boys: Fighting back 1940-45" that is scheduled to be published in April 2007.
If someone has time I would really like to know more about this decision, as it could show that no one was tried for aerial bombardment for Allied political expediency and not legal considerations that there was no chance of a conviction on such charges  --Philip Baird Shearer 12:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No interviewer with the English-language press failed to ask if it was not Hitler who started both the war and the bombing of cities. "They that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind." If only that were true! A characteristic of air wars is that those who sow the wind do not reap the whirlwind and those who reap the whirlwind did not sow the wind. One of the sowers was certainly Field Marshal Hugo Sperrle, who as commander in chief of German Air Fleet 3 led the bombing of London and Coventry. Tens of thousands of British citizens died by his hand. In 1948 he stood before the U.S. military tribunal in Nuremberg. His prosecutor was the great American international law scholar and historian Brigadier General Telford Taylor. But Taylor did not even charge him with that bloody act—though 40,000 victims were a lot even by Nuremberg standards. That act did not appear in the proceedings; the charges included only the Russian prisoners of war allegedly assigned under Sperrle's command to build military facilities. That is prohibited by the Geneva Convention. The judges acquitted Sperrle due to insufficient evidence. Why was his documented annihilation of London schoolchildren, hospital patients, and churchgoers not consider a wrong? And why were the firestorms that consumed the schoolchildren of Hamburg, Dresden, and Cologne their proper punishment for Sperrle's unpunished attacks? Why was every soldier in the Nazi Wehrmacht—even the Waffen SS—who was captured in the invaded countries of Poland, Russia, or Belgium taken into custody and treated and protected according to the Geneva Convention while his wife and child at home were outlaws? The enemies could do what they wanted with them, albeit only if the attack came from the air. If Charles Portal or Hugo Sperrle had run amok through Berlin or London with a machine gun, then Taylor would of course have charged him for the action. At least that is what he later wrote. According to the legal position in Nuremberg, it was not the willful killing of noncombatants that determined the crime, but the direction of fire. The horizontal fire of a machine gun is illegal; the vertical direction of the bomb munitions, on the other hand, is legal.
