Talk:New Swabia

message: At some point this article had been seeded with a PoV framework to support unfounded popular rumours that AH may have fled here after the war. I have NPoV'd that content and generally cleaned up the prose and syntax. Wyss 08:52, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I really don't agree, IMO you gave far more airing to these ideas than anyone else had. As far as the "Hitler in a UFO w spaceman friends", I don't know of anyone who admits to believing that ;) I find it a fun story tho, much like the "Jesus rides on a UFO w bigfoot" cult in brazil. ¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸ 20:01, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Such unusual informations are what got me interested in encyclopedias in the first place. From a very early age I have enjoyed researching bizarre or esoteric phenomena. As far as "reality", anything that is even thought of has a certain intrinsic reality, even centuries after the imagining. Also, if only one out of every 100, or 1000 conspiracy theories or cryptid sightings contains a legitimate mystery... that would still be pretty impressive ;) ¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸ 04:46, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I read Snopes from time to time, as an amused skeptic. IMO this stuff can be presented in an encyclopedia (especially WP) so long as it's done in a way that a reasonable, skimming reader can't mistake it for reality (or whatever one wants to call it). You know... that's why I didn't just delete it or try to ban it to a separate article etc. Anyway the moment I saw the new section title, the issue was resolved for me.

text: I'm not too worried about the sensitivities of people who want to believe such things (as you say, few apparently do). So long as fantasy (or myth, or whatever one wants to call it to avoid a semantic dispute) is plainly labeled and separated from supportable assertions, informing readers that such tales exist is helpful.

text: If you go the the Nazi moon base article, which this article refers to, you will find a link at the bottom to the originator of these fantasies: Vladimir Terziski. Regards. Thomas Blomberg 01:34, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah and who knows... that Russian living in LA may not even believe it (and if he does, he's a nut). Lots of this stuff comes down to people hoping to make a bit of money by stirring up controversy about famous topics among the gullible. Wyss 08:03, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there's much doubt about Terziski's nutiness - but he probably believes it himself. He would probably have made more money working as a cashier at Wal-Mart, than he has made on his books during all these years. Thomas Blomberg 20:38, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Schwabenland.jpg

message: In the article on New Swabia it states that some think through a legal loophole the Third Reich still exists in New Swabia.  Please provide a reference. 
Almost certainly the Final Settlement of 1990 excluded German claims to this region, if they ever existed after 25 May 1945.

thread_title:  New Swabia 

message: Meanwhile, since 1997 New Swabia can be visited by normal tourists.
I gave sources for that:
1.)John Krakauer: On the edge of Antarctica, Queen Maud Land. In: National Geographic. 193, Number 2, pages 46-69).
2.)
So, please don´t delete that again, or say why you don´t think it should stand in this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.61.234.244 (talk) 17:42, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (February 2018) 

message: The terminology "unrecognized" claim is used in the article. The meaning is very unclear. Generally, nearly all of the claims made in Antarctica at that time (the 1930s) were not subject to any formal recognition. The area in which New Swabia was located was within Norway's Queen Maud Land which was (at the time) equally unrecognized. It would be possible to call the claim disputed, but "unrecognized" is not something that appears in any other article on these claimed areas in Antarctica covering this period of time. 12.12.144.130 (talk) 20:31, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Southern Reich" listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|Redirects for discussion]] 

message: the article showed a Flag of New Swabia with is identical to the Flag of the Reichskolonialbund (see also this unused flag image). There is no evidence this flag ever appeared in context of a New Swabia claim (which is anyway to be doubted ever officially made) or the German Arctic Expedition of 1938/1939. See also the crwflags page.
Therefore I will remove this flag from article. If a flag is needed to be shown, either the normal 1935 Nazi Flag of Germany, no flag or Question mark image make sense here. I will simply leave the flag attibute empty, so no flag wil be shown at all – just the expedition logo. -- Burts (talk) 15:16, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
