message: The unref tags were removed from this article but no references were added.  This was not appropriate IMHO.  Suggest that editors with the ability to read German consult the German article for sources.Mtsmallwood (talk) 05:06, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I changed "Eicke and his division distinguished themselves by an unmatched brutality and several war crimes" to "became known for an unmatched brutality ...." Distinguished themselves, with its positive connotations, was inappropriate for such savage acts.

thread_title:  Primary source 

message: Seen from a german nationalist, or nazi point of view, Hampont sounds somewhat undeutsch, in other words not acceptable; that's clear. Therefore the name was changed in WW-1, to Hudingen. Notwithstanding, when Eicke was born there it was named Hampont, and that stayed so for some years to come. It's kind of Geschichtsklitterung (history engineering), to project the spelling in 1915/18 back to 1892. --129.187.244.19 (talk) 09:53, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody is trying to promote German nationalist sentiments by offering the historical name of the place—even the temporary one—but because it shows up in so many sources written on the subject, it would confuse people new to this information if it were missing. Placing both names together makes the most sense. Stop with the attempt at aspersions on people editing around here. (Niemand schrieb absichtlich eine revisionistische Geschichte, oder eine angebliche "Geschichtsklitterung" dabei.)--Obenritter (talk) 03:50, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Obenritter is correct that we have to go with what the majority of the main-stream WP:RS cited books or works state; our own opinion does not matter, that is WP:OR. Lastly, stop with the obtuse aspersions. If you have RS cited sources to present for consideration, please do so. Kierzek (talk) 14:14, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: o.k., then let decide the Nazis himself how to write (or spell) things like their "birthplaces"...(most sources most likely could be pro-nazi sources, but I noticed - you have no problem with that, pg.

replies: text: Actually it's Schäferhund and the sources we've used are respectable neutral ones. Unfounded ad hominem attacks prove that you are not here to help construct an Encyclopedia. --Obenritter (talk) 14:51, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

message: was, in fact, not named Salzburgen before 1941. It's heavily misleading to project Salzburgen in German Empire times. --129.187.244.19 (talk) 10:41, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
