Talk:Herbert Kappler

message: The original article, created by an anonymous editor with no subsequent contributions nor active talk page, was apparently transcribed verbatim from the entry on Herbert Kappler in the Encyclopaedia of the Holocaust and no attribution given. (Section headers were added.) As copyright violation would unfortunately result in the deletion of this article, I'm taking the following action:
*Adding citation of the source article in References
*Light copyediting of the text (limited by time constraints)
I would appreciate if other editors would assist by further copyediting so that only relevant material remains. --Thanks, Deborahjay 19:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article taken verbatim from published source 

message: Upon further advice at the New contributors' help page, it seems that the proper course of action is to tag the article for copyright violation -- that will result in its deletion and the need for rewriting, rather than editing the existing article. As an interim measure, I'm adding the citation under References as above. -- Deborahjay 19:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: have done some further editing including adding a little info plus tidying, translation, references and 'see also'.  Consequently (and based on the work by others in the intervening period) have removed the 'stub' appellations to return it to uncategorized to allow others to judge.  Also note the copyright violation has long since been removed. - HTH r 03:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: adds some insight into Kappler as well as what may well be an article on Msg O'Flaherty.  In accordance with guidelines i have not put external link in the article.  There are 4 sections (1 Times article, 1 sourced from a book on the subject and 2 of unclear attribution).  I hope they will either be of interest or of use to add to actual articles. r 03:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Msgr O'Flaherty and Kappler's interactions with the Vatican/Church 

message: The article states that Kappler was 7 when the conflict started, and 14 when it finished. The First World War lasted for four years, so this does not make sense.

replies: text: There was no consensus to remove any of that material.  If "citation needed" tags are called for, give us that chance since all of this material is heavily verified.  Kappler was a major figure in the German occupation and all of this info is of historic interest.  I also see no reason at all to blank large portions about his early life, including the fact he was an Army military reservist, which is also of historical interest. Please do not blank this material again without consensus. -O.R.Comms 13:56, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

message: I re-removed the material, which I'm preserving here by providing this link. My rationale was: "Uncited / unreliably cited intricate detail ". 
The content was restored by OberRanks, now site-banned for fabricating sources, so should be presumed to be dubious. For more information, please see: User:Future Perfect at Sunrise/OberRanks. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:33, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
