Talk:Eastern workers

message: This article contains a number of weasel words, which cause it to insinuate a number of untrue assumptions. Here I will explain why I altered the third and fourth paragraphs.
"A significant percent of eastern workers had developed anti-Soviet convictions, having been given an opportunity to be in an environment free of informers where open criticism of the Soviets was possible."
-A "significant percent" of American POW's in the Korean War mimicked the ideology of their Chinese and North Korean captors. This isn't necessarily because there were no American TV's and FBI informers around.
"This, combined with the opportunity to see the living standard of non-communist countries, made them seen as a threat by the Soviet system."
-Germany was cash and resource-strapped during the war; rationing was strictly instituted. That's why they enslaved the Soviet POW's in the first place. There was simply no 'higher capitalist living standard' to see. Also, being enslaved for 4 years should turn one into an ardent anti-Nazi.
"A number of eastern workers had also volunteered to join the Russian Liberation Army."
-'A number' can mean 'a large number' in standard English. The Vlasov army was tiny to begin with. They were recruiting 80-year-old White cossacks who could barely get on their horses. If there was some mass entry of Ostarbeiters into the ROA, it's news to me. Definitely source-worthy.
"After the liberation of "Eastern Workers" by the Soviet Army, a majority of them were subject to "filtration" and "internal exile", the latter mostly amounting to serving in labour camps for six years or more."
-I'm sure that some were investigated, tried, and sentenced. But "a majority" is a lot of Ostarbeiters and needs sourcing.
"[Operation Keelhaul] presented a dramatic issue, since Soviets sought to "repatriate" [the eastern workers], while many of them sought to avoid this kind of "repatriation", see, e.g., Ruthenia: Belarusians."
-Notwithstanding the terrible way this was written, it's misleading because, when read after the rest of the article, it clearly implies that most of the Ostarbeiters didn't want to go back home because they would be shot or they had become Nazis. That's definitely untrue.
Since this is the talk page, an anecdote.. my grandfather-in-law was a Russian POW turned Ostarbeiter. He didn't go back to Russia, but not because of ideological considerations; he remains a staunch Stalinist. He fell in love with, and married (after the war), the daughter of the owner of the farm on which he was forced to work. He didn't go back home merely because he didn't think his German wife would be properly accepted in post-WWII Soviet society.

Talk:Rebecca/Eureka transponding radar

message: There's a useful new image, described as a "Yagi". However this seems to be a dipole and a reflector. Is that a Yagi?  IMHO, a Yagi involves a dipole, a reflector, and at least one director element ahead of the dipole.  Yagi's innovation was these directors: the simpler form with only the reflector pre-dated Yagi and wasn't named thus. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:14, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008 

message: According to a book on Lippincott's in-laws, The Denison Family, he was not acquitted at all.
# He evaded a court martial on the claim that, as an irregular, he was a civilian, and wasn't subject to military law.
# charges against him, in the civilian courts in the rump of territory still controlled by the UK, were dropped, when a sympathetic judge claimed the incident occurred outside British control.
General Clinton kept Lippincott in custody, for the duration, as if he had been convicted, to prevent Asgill being killed in retaliation.
For what it is worth, Lippincott's brother-in-laws killing, by American irregulars, sounds extremely brutal - an eye plucked out, both legs broken, and arm cut off.
FWIW, Lippincott's claim he wasn't subject to military law would get him facing war crimes charges, today.  Geo Swan (talk) 10:46, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

message: It's a minor issue, but under the heading "10th Cavalry Regiment, the last sentence of the penultimate paragraph reads "Until November 1879, during his captain's four-month leave, Flipper commanded this unit by himself and received a well done." (emphasis added) The final words are confusingly written.  "Well done" is usually a quote.  The source it cites reads "Within months of receiving his new responsibilities, Flipper was receiving praise from his fellow officers for his handling of his commissary duties."  So it appears that it was a general approval from his colleagues and superiors that Flipper received. Perhaps the sentence could be changed to "...Flipper commanded this unit by himself and earned the approval and praise of his fellow officers." Thoughts? Bricology (talk) 19:26, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: See Wikipedia:Notability (pornographic actors). I would assume many porn actors have had hundreds of photoshoots so this in itself is hardly noteable. The fact that she's an old favourite of yours suggests you might be a little biased as well. While you're welcome to your preferences, this doesn't make her noteable. Also, the reason she was 'all over the web may have more to do with your preferences then anything else.

Talk:Ranaghat

message: My edits of the article were mostly to make the article more compliant with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, which says that Wikipedia articles should not promote a particular point of view. This policy also excludes personal opinions, so your opinion that the city should have an engineering college, no matter how valid, is not suitable in the article. If you're able to cite reliable sources about a debate to add an engineering college to the city, then it would be fine to add the information. Describing a church as "beautiful" is also out of the bounds of the neutral point of view policy, because it's giving a personal and subjective opinion. There must be more to say about the church - why was it built in Ranaghat, is there any interesting history to it?
I've also removed information like train schedules because of the policy that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information; train schedules and times are too detailed for city articles. They can also change quickly, and the best place to document this change is in a company's train timetables, not on Wikipedia. Finally, I also made edits to fix some spelling and grammatical errors; fixing these errors gives an article a more professional appearance. Graham87 04:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
