thread_title: Mehr bitte!

message: I put up the POV-check message because I am not sure whether this article conforms to WP:NPOV. The following two sentences under the section entitled "Relevance" stood out: "In times of increasing specialism, also within History and Theology, Kurt Aland can be regarded as one of the last representatives of academics who worked extensively and also efficiently on theological and historical topics. In the field of New Testament Research his work (and also the work that he has done together with his wife Barbara Aland in the Institute for New Testament Textual Research in Münster) shall be deemed to be pointing the way worldwide." The phrase "last representatives of academics who worked extensively and also efficiently on theological and historical topics" seems particularly disputable; qualifying this with "can be regarded as" seems ambiguous. I do not know what "shall be deemed to be pointing the way worldwide" means either, but I suppose a translator could clear this up. I am no expert. Since this seems to be a problem with this one section, I considered using the POV-section message instead. But considering that this page is a translation from the original German and that I cannot read German, I figured that it might be best if the whole article was nominated for a neutrality check.
Also, the second reference is a dead link. I think that the original may have been moved to here: http://www.bundespraesident.de/SharedDocs/Reden/DE/Horst-Koehler/Reden/2009/12/20091209_Rede2.html.
I am new to Wikipedia, so let me know if my edits were unnecessary or done incorrectly! Conner Holden (talk) 04:30, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I checked the whole article and arranged some changes and added some more information on Kurt Aland. Still, some big and importend facts are missing in this article. I might be able to add more texts soon. All in all I must say that the articles content is correct and neutral. All given information can be checked in the references-section. The "FAZ" is one of the biggest and respected newspaper in Germany. Lots of the information can also be found in the speech of the President of Germany (!) Mr. Horst Köhler. There are existing several international (also english) and obituaries on Kurt Aland (that I might also list soon). Therefore I removed the POV-check. IntelligenzBaustein 12:12, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
