Recent additions in "Spaniards" and "Arabs"[edit]

Recent mass additions by Sr L adds WP:UNDUE amount of material about a subjects such as "Arabs" and "Spaniards" subtopics into the article and violates WP:PROPORTION. Some of those material relies on WP:OLDSOURCES or predatory journals (such as drafts, undue reliance on local newspapers, etc.). Such low-quality sources should not be used in contentious topics like these. I suggest the involved editor to have them fixed; otherwise, it is best to revert the article back to a stable revision.

It is also generally advised to not add a very large amount of material in a single edit (it is cumbersome to review). --WikiLinuz {talk} 16:21, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree on the WP:UNDUE – we don't need a separate section for every single ethnic group Hitler once spouted some ill-informed opinion about (presented as a blockquote), at least without further coverage by RSs.–Ich (talk) 19:22, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

3kb[edit]

@Czello Hi, about this -- It seems that the source is okay, but I agree that relying on one source for this is not great. I haven't read the whole cited book chapter, but it seems like the claims are supported. I have formatted the reference and did some copyedits. I think that the way forward would be to find another supporting source. Do you still support removing? —Alalch E. 09:35, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's looking much better now, so no worries. Thanks for the ping. — Czello ^(music) 12:55, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

British section[edit]

Why put this in the article:

"unlike mid 19th century English race theorists, who believed they were superior to the Catholic Irish and tried to claim that Celts were less evolved as subhuman nonwhite others"

Ignoring the juvenile prose, exactly what do "mid 19th Century race theorists" have to do with Nazi racial views? And who are these "English race theorists"? English "race theorists" held a range of views although it is certainly true that the "Anglo-Saxonists" thought the Celts were inferior. But "Celts" were not just Irish -they were Welsh, Cornish, Highland Scottish. And it is one thing to say "English race theorists" thought Celts were "inferior", but to leap to "non-white" is theoretical overreach.

How about sticking to what Hitler and the Nazis thought about Celts and leave "mid 19th Century English race theorists" out of it? Jonathan f1 (talk) 09:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request: typo[edit]

“In June 1935, Nazi politician and Reich Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick argued that "non-Aryan" should have been replaced with "Jewish" and "of foreign origin". His recommendation was rejected. Frock then commented, "'Aryan' and 'non-Aryan' are sometimes not entirely tenable... From a racial political point, it is Judaism that interests us more than anything else."

From the Racial hierarchy, Aryan: Germanic and Nordic section

I assume “Frock” is a typo of “Frick” 2A00:23C6:95CE:B401:E0E6:5C5D:9021:9D7B (talk) 16:00, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Typo fixed. Thanks for catching it. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 16:11, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
