[edit] Woops

As you can see from the history of the article I did some accidental extingushing, while I only wanted to put in the citation wanted about the controversy. I undid this and shall try again after having found out, how this could happen. I never had this problem before. Sorry! Heinrich L. 21:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality

Eva Herman did not ".. her public comments about what she felt were benefits that the Nazis brought to German society ultimately..." What she was:"Und wir müssen vor allem das Bild der Mutter in Deutschland auch wieder wertschätzen lernen, das leider ja mit dem Nationalsozialismus und der darauf folgenden 68er Bewegung abgeschafft wurde. " freely translateted "And we must, above all, the image of the mother in Germany again appreciate learn, unfortunately so with the National Socialism and the subsequent 68-movement was abolished.". However a false quotation led to the image that she did praise it. --Cyrus Grisham 19:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Letter Soup

...and THAT's what happens when people edit who don't know the facts.

Someone (my guess is, a German with language problems here) wrote "...comments about the benefits the Nazis brought to German society...". What he meant were good things (Mrs Herman said, positive values) that were also stressed in the "Third Empire"; Mrs Herman clarified that the Nazis abused them, her point was that the 68ers did throw out the baby with the bath water when they "de-nazified" German society, and also abolished good, and much older, values and traditions.

Until now, it is just an error that can be explained by language barriers.

The next editor obviously knew nothing of the facts; instead of moving the whole sentence here and asking for clarification and voicing his concerns, he tried to clarify that if Mrs Herman said such thing (she didn't), this was her opinion: "...comments about what she felt were benefits that the Nazis brought to German society...". Which is libelous.

Boys and Girls, you ever pull this stunt on me, wikipedia's got its first libel case. To claim something like that about persons living as well as dead must only be done when there are unambigous sources for that claim. If someone thinks something's not kosher, but doesn't know about the facts, move it to the discussion, but don't edit it into something you feel is right. --137.193.51.192 03:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
