Talk:Erich Klausener

message: Moved this here because there is no indication in the sources given that Klausener and Pacelli had any contact. "Klausener's relationship with the future Pope Pius XII has sometimes been controversial." -What relationship?  "While authors like Guenter Lewy have expressed criticism of Pius for not intervening more forcefully in the case," ...what case? Klausener hadn't been arrested, he was summarily murdered.  "...other authors including  Joseph Bottum and David G. Dalin have presented a more positive assessment of the attitude of Pius XII during that time.The Catholic Church and Nazi Germany, by Guenter LewyThe Pius war: responses to the critics of Pius XII, by J. Bottum, David G. Dalin  The "other authors" indicate Pius was supportive of the grieving family; but not that he and Klausener had necessarily worked together before.

message: Some claim Klausener was the first Catholic martyr of the Nazi regime, others specificy first of 1934 or first of the Night of the Long Knives.

Talk:Erich Koch

message: I suggest, this article mention the Evacuation of East Prussia, because as Nazi governor, Erich Koch was in charge.

message: If he was sentenced to death in the late 50s but spared because off ill health how then did he live another 30 years? If he was ill shouldn't he of died long before. And if it was illegal in Poland to execute the ill, if he got better later when not execute him when his health recovered. And if he was only kept alive because he may of known about a lost treasure why didn't they kill him after they couldn't find it? As a Riechskommissar neither the Russians or the West or anyone would of protested his execution.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.188.52 (talk) 13:14, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Earnock

message: As is common with untrained 'sound-a-like' attempts at etymology, and worse so the wholesale adoption of nonsense gathered from most books of antiquarian wanderings, it may be quite helpful to point out that the first two etymological derivations state no authority, provide no linguistic basis and on the whole are unfounded. The third etymology is more secure, although could be balanced in the context of more recent toponymical analysis. If these points cannot be included then an alternative would be to categorise the first two derivations as 'typically antiquarian', so as not to misguide novice readers. 2A00:23C8:6684:C101:EC97:945A:C118:BA26 (talk) 02:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Ernest Howard Crosby

message: Hello Crosby contributors,
I just thought that you might want to know there is at least one other publication by Mr Crosby. I have a copy of one of Crosby's publications which is not listed on the Crosby list of publications on his Wikipedia page. It is "Edward Carpenter: Poet and Prophet" second edition, published in 1905 by Arthur C. Fifield, Fleet St, London EC.
I've just checked on the British Library's website and they have one copy of the original edition and two copies of the 1905 edition.
Perhaps you only posted a limited range of his publications and already knew about this.
With best wishes,
Mike Jackson

Talk:John Watkins (diplomat)

message: Sawatsky writes that Watkins "cruised Ottawa's gathering spots and sometimes made a wrong approach and got beaten up. He knew about KGB tactics and once posted to Moscow realized he could not cruise. ... His resolve weakened in the fall of 1954 during an extended trip through the Soviet Union's southern republics when i a Muslim area he met a young man, hardly in his twenties, named Kamahl. ... Kamahl's boyishness and innocence appealed to Watkins and, so far from Moscow, he thought it would be safe. ... He invited young Kamahl to his room. Evidently the hotel staff spotted the pair entering the room and a few months later Watkins received a letter from Kamahl saying he would be visiting Moscow for the his first time and would appreciate being shown the city. Kamahl's visit had been staged by the KGB and by the time the kindly Watkins had entertained him and liaised with him--each time in Kamahl's hotel room--the KGB had all the photographs it needed."
Sawatsky's description of KGB post honey trap blackmail tactics is very interesting but too long to quote here. One way to interpret all this is that KGB found out about a real assignation and coopted "Kamahl" to set up a honey trap. Gribanov was a VERY senior KGB officer. If I have read Sawatsky right, he believes that that Gribanov became involved AFTER the KGB discovered that Watkins was vulnerable to a honey trap, perhaps even after Watkins stepped in the trap. His job was to make sure the high risk operation was not screwed up, and he apparently did a superb job of it. Pretty blood-curdling to read about though. Rgr09 (talk) 00:31, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't sound like either of us is wanting to tackle it, but an article on Gribanov would be interesting, as would one on the RCMP's "gay purge". - Location (talk) 19:57, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Verifying unusual image licenses

message: I drafted this proposal after considering the Publicgirluk photo debate, a number of similar situations, and the opinions of various editors.  In particular, it became clear that a number of editors (Jimbo included) feel that assuming good faith is insufficient when the images involved are of such an unusual or controversial nature that they might cause harm to others.  And that some process was needed to provide Wikipedia with an extra measure for assurance in such cases that the claims being made were genuine.
I believe that this proposal accomplishes that.  It balances a need for proof against a desire not to be unduly burdensome on contributors.  The goal here is not to provide proof beyond all possible doubt, but rather to provide enough reassurance that a reasonable person could conclude that the actions and claims are most likely to be genuine.
In writing this, I have in part co-opted the existing permissions@ process run by OTRS, as I feel this is the best way to provide the process with both an archival record and reasonable assurances of confidentiality.  Dragons flight 19:24, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Permissions is controlled by m:OTRS staff, a few dozen trusted volunteer Wikipedians from across various projects.  The OTRS system, as I understand it, allows specific members of that group to take control of a specific request so that there wouldn't be dozens of people all trying to repeat the same action.  Dragons flight 14:25, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the answer.  Is that staff willing to take on this additional responsibility?  And is the existing OTRS team big enough to handle the expected volume?  (I assume that this project will be promoted up from a Wikipedia proposal to a foundation-level process which would mean including all the projects in scope.)  If they are willing and able to do it, I think this is a great solution. Rossami (talk) 15:10, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

While these rules are already in place an explicit mention in this policy does seem warrented. Per you second concern, I also agree that anomnimity to the general public should be preserved. The existing permissions@ system seems to handle this very well by using a few trusted volunteers. Good points, they help the policy without disabling it or making it overly complicated.

thread_title: The best yet
Talk:Ernst Niekisch

message: The article makes the bold statement that Niekisch was "anti-Jewish" but this seems dubious. From the quotes on the German Wikipedia, it appears that the critical statements he made of some Jews was in relation to what he perceived to be their involvement in capitalism. These opinions can be easily gleaned from Karl Marx's own writings On the Jewish Question. Given that Niekisch was a lifelong Marxist, was involved in the Bavarian Soviet Republic (with several Jewish comrades) and was even himself persecuted by the Gestapo, it seems dubious to blankly claim he was "anti-Jewish". But then there are lunatics who claim Stalin was an anti-semite on here. Claíomh Solais (talk) 23:15, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

message: It appears that a new bio stub, John Williams (New York State Senator), is the same guy as the subject of this article. See links here and here. His entry in the newer Biographical Directory of the United States Congress doesn't mention getting expelled from the state senate, so it's possible that it's not the same guy, and that earlier writers confused the John Williamses. Or perhaps someone sympathetic to Mr Williams's legacy wrote the Biographical Directory entry and left out the embarrassing incident.

Talk:Bookman list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1900s

message: The Hackett book identifies The Bookman as the source for 1895 - 1912 (see inline citation added today). But the title of the related Wikipedia articles is "Publishers Weekly List of..." which makes it sound like PW is the sole source. That's not accurate as far as I can tell. It seems to me that the simplest solution is just to remove PW from the titles of those articles, call them "List of bestselling novels in the United States in the (decade)" and let our reflist explain the sources. This potentially affects:
* Publishers Weekly list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1890s
* Publishers Weekly list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1900s
* Publishers Weekly list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1910s
