To C Fred[edit]

To C Fred: the source is the German Parliament, I can read in the history of this page that you have been incessantly changing the content of the page. Are you a paid writer? Why would you edit a page of a person you don't know and why would you doubt the German Government source?

Pinging C.Fred. On one of your questions, on WP we are supposed the edit articles about people we don't know, see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You should also look at WP:Edit warring and WP:BRD. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:57, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

C Fred has been incessantly changing the content of the page, he is deleting information of reliable source which is the German Parliament. It seems to me that he is a paid wiki writer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Friedrichsruh-Aumuhle (talk • contribs) 16:03, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quite the opposite. C.Fred is an administrator who has no ties (at least, not in the last 160 years) to Germany or its predecessor states. I protected the page in response to the amount of editing, particularly involving unregistered editors, that violates the Manual of Style and has other problems. —C.Fred (talk) 17:10, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To facilitate debate, I have flagged the unsourced material rather than delete it. (Although, any editor is free to delete unsourced material in a BLP.) I also addressed some of the style and grammar issues. —C.Fred (talk) 17:20, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you C Fred — Preceding unsigned comment added by Friedrichsruh-Aumuhle (talk • contribs) 17:41, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of old articles[edit]

The articles used as "citation" are old and intented to mislead readers. The NY Court dismissed all claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.184.96.169 (talk) 08:44, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then provide new articles that cover the dismissal, so we can add to the article. —C.Fred (talk) 11:15, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is no articles in English to be provided, he won't the case at NY Court. Someone keep on adding old articles with the clear intent of defamation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB00:CF8:2B00:B091:8544:CA45:9047 (talk) 18:06, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, we can't just take your word that the case was dismissed. —C.Fred (talk) 19:25, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage, alcohol problems and debts removed as unsourced[edit]

Text concerning von Bismark's marriage, alcohol problems and debts has been removed as unsourced. There has been quite some discussion about this in the Teahouse and if I remember I'll post a link here for posterity once it's been archived. HaeB did suggest there an alternative form of wording and some more reliable sources, but when I tried to turn this into a paragraph that conformed throughout to WP:BLP I ran aground and lost interest.

Legal threats[edit]

Just to let people know that someone claiming to be von Bismarck's wife is now making legal threats off-Wiki about the section above and previous edits. Fundamentally the topic doesn't interest me at all, so I will probably now wander elsewhere in search of a quieter life. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 09:39, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalized page[edit]

A series of editors are posting unsourced and defamatory content systematically and deleting reliable content. Supra75521 (talk) 00:09, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many of said disruptive editors also have a conflict of interest with von Bismarck. Many of them also, like the account above, are single-purpose accounts focusing solely on von Bismarck. —C.Fred (talk) 15:37, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
