Actually here we have a German who was an eyewitness - we seem to love eyewitnesses except those who disagree with us it appears. The idea that such a large project - the holocaust - could be done with so many people and over such a large time period without any documentation is..... well it needs a lot of eyewitnesses to make up for the deficient ( far more than we have I would suggest). The documents that are available - tons of them - all point away from a holocaust. The Germans may not have known or saw anything for the simple reason that there may not have been anything to know or see. Also no group -even Germans - are that good at keeping secrets and running giant governmental burearucies by word of mouth.159.105.80.141 (talk) 11:48, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Germans knew nothing about the Holocaust 

message: I have removed this line from the article: "He was sentenced to prison several times for a number of crimes..." It had no citation and I can find no evidence for such a claim. I therefore assume it to be an ad hominem smear. 
According to an article by Mark Weber, Christophersen was imprisoned in 1980: "In the 1980s he served a year in prison on charges of 'insulting the state' ("Verunglimpfung des Staates") and "insulting the memory of the dead." But this as a source I think would not be deemed acceptable as a wiki reference. And anyway it does not mention any other imprisonments nor any such thing as a number of other crimes. So unless and until anyone can find a verifiable acceptable reference as a source, I have deleted it. --Mystichumwipe (talk) 14:13, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

This changes the article significantly from a historical article on a closed railway line to a speculative article about a new line built on the old alignment. The trouble is that this new plan is hardly a credible project: Wales does not have spare half-billions lying around for transport infrastructure, especially now post-Brexit. So is this plan, which is only at the feasibility study stage and hardly likely to go further, now more prominent than the concrete existence of a past line?

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Ben McKay (actor)

message: Aha, found it!
Hi, my reasons for starting the page on Ben McKay were because there appears to be little information on the actor. I was hoping that others could contribute until we had the information (especially as he is slowly starting to take leading roles). If this is an inappropriate way to start a bank of information, I am happy to delete the entry. I do feel it is a shame that I could not find his profile on Wikipedia, as this is usually where I find such information, and it is probably because he is not as well-known. Can I have your thoughts on this?

I have just modified  on Conn of the Hundred Battles. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20081227214217/http://www.hastings.edu:80/academic/english/Kings/Home.html to http://www.hastings.edu/academic/english/Kings/Home.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).
"The Lebor Gabála synchronises Conn's reign with that of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (161–180). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 116–136, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 122–157.".... This sentence should be early in the article? It's frustrating to have to get to the very end of the article to get context of antiquity. Also, given such an early date, was this person myth/legend/historical? I think the article needs a more gradual introduction rather than jumping into the specifics of the legend.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.1.1.158 (talk) 00:14, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
