replies: text:  What facts in the article do you dispute? Just the fact that the listed sources are the same, unless there are specific reasons to suspect Gardner of not being a reliable source I can see no justification for this template. I have removed the template again. If there are specific facts that you dispute, please add it again. TH 09:27, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

The tasteless joke is obnoxious and has no place on Wikipedia.

message: Why doesn't one of Adolf Hitler's nephews get a Y chromosome DNA test done on himself to see if he has a middle eastern Y chromosome? This would prove that Adolf Hitler had a jewish grandfather since the Y chromosome is passed from father to son pretty much undisturbed..
:What is a "middle eastern Y chromosome"? User:Zoe|(talk) 23:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you being facetious or are they really releasing a book? BTW Haplogroup R1a is less so a "Germanic male" Y Chromosome than haplogroup J is semitic (it's highly Italian too). R1a along with R2 can be found in south asia, R1b1b2a2g or R1b1b2a1 would be the likely "German" forms of R, with I2b1 following closely as a Germanic paternal-line ancestral-indicative haplogroup found in Germany (along with I1 which would be more nordic / Scandinavian but not unknown in Germany). R1a would just be ironic because of the eastern Indic use of the term "Aryan" and it's small frequency also in north-western Europe, but that does not make it "German" or likely to be found in an Austrian. The paternal lines of Napoleon could also be tested, as they still live through his brother's sons, such as Jean-Christophe Napoléon or his father Charles Napoléon who would have the same Y chromosome as Napoleon I. 67.5.156.228 (talk) 20:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The article says:
If we can verify that William Patrick Hitler's adopted name was indeed inspired by Houston Stewart Chamberlain, we should mention that and attribute it. If it was not inspired by Houston Stewart Chamberlain, the similarity is merely an interesting and amusing but essentially unencyclopedic sidenote and should be omitted. I think we should either verify and attribute this, or not mention it at all. AecisBrievenbus 10:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Quoting the article: "William Patrick Hitler served in the US Navy and received the Naval Medical Corps before being discharged in 1947, after being wounded during the course of the war"
Maybe this is supposed to say Naval Medical Corps 'medal' or something like that. It is unlikely he received the whole Corps.
Wanderer57 (talk) 11:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: this is just WRONG from beginning to end. the 'medical corps' is one of the staff corps of the navy, consisting of commissioned officers who are m.d.'s. corpsmen are NOT considered to be members of the medical corps, any more than are nurses, who are commissioned officers with their own staff corps (the 'nurse corps')! moreover, they weren't called corpsmen during wwii, but, rather, 'pharmacist's mates', and the rating device wasn't the now familiar caduceus, but a red cross.Toyokuni3 (talk) 16:02, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Clean-up and streamlining 

message: It is virtually impossible to prove that a man has fathered no children. Except in cases where medical confirmation of sterility from early his early teens on or in cases where there was no opportunity to engage in sexual intercourse. For a man in normal society, it is essentially impossible to prove or even convincingly demonstrate that he has no offspring. At most, what can be demonstrated is that the man claims not to have fathered any children (although it should be clear he would not necessarily know whether a casual sexual encounter resulted in a woman's giving birth). This article claims that none of the sons have children. This suffers from 3 problems:1. They wouldn't necessarily know. 2. They would likely want to protect their children from the notoriety of being a relative of Adolph Hitler (suggesting they have a motive to lie in public statements about their children's existence) and finally 3. Even if they hadn't fathered a child as of yesterday, that can change with a single sexual encounter today. I suggest the wording of the article be changed to indicate that one (or more?) of the sons claims to have no children as of the date that the claim was made.98.21.210.4 (talk) 19:03, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: When a bio says someone was childless, or unmarried, everyone knows that's merely the best information available, and that a secret marriage or secret paternity can't be ruled out. Unless a source raises a plausible reason to doubt such statements, we aren't going to belabor the point. EEng 22:32, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
