Talk:Gerhard Ritter

message: This is one impressive Biography. But a bit too much of a wall of text. I tried some chapters, but i guess it could still need some more.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herr Lennartz (talk • contribs) 16:43, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chapters 

message: The above suggestion has been done, for better or for worse. By looking at the endnotes, it appears that much of the content was 'poured' into the text from sources. Thus, how to untangle the threads of the large paragraphs and break them down into smaller pieces was not always obvious. In doing so, I did clarify and modify the prose of the article, in many cases simplifying what appeared to be convoluted passages, or phrasing that seemed to imply a point of view, or passages with an overabudance of qualifiers that created a kind of fog obscuring the meaning of the text. Also, as a consequence, the sequential order of the text was changed in many places, large and small. 
At one point, in moving text, a large chunk of it simply disappeared! Fortunately I was able to regain much of the work in jeopardy due to this snafu, but the result was large text duplication in the article. Over several 'edits', this has finally been rectified. Unfortunately this snafu shows up in the edit history, which shows large contributions (which are duplications) and large deletions (of those duplicaitons); these can be misleading.
Herr Ritter is an interesting person, yet one with whom I would have much to disagree! Although unfortunately he seems potentially polarizing, he has courage. In his favor, he does present a more or less consistent point of view and shows a will to improve the situation;  but whether or not his projected policies would work to the good is questionable. For example, he does not seem to be inclusive in his social policies, on purpose. This in itself causes much discord with the type of society I would like to live in.

thread_title: Biography - Works

message: I am Danny Orbach, PhD student in Harvard University, and an author of several publications (a book and several articles) on the German resistance to Hitler. Some parts of the article (under the headings "Freiburger Kreis" and "Advisor to Goerdeler" were flatly wrong, and were therefore erased. The Freiburger memoranda was described in a distorted way, based on a highly inaccurate secondary source. I do not have the memo before me, and therefore (for now) erased these sentences. As for "Goerdeler's advisor", the sentences quoted were written by Goerdeler, not by Ritter (and were also described in a very inaccurate way). Therefore they were erased.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.45.130.172 (talk) 11:21, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
