"Historical revisionist"[edit]

This page calls author Martin Allen a historical revisionist, as per his usage of allegedly forged documents in his books. [1] However, as the page says, the prosecution never proceeded, and thus there is no definitive verdict. The German talk page on Allen (I admit, I have used Google Translate here) has what I believe to be a well-reasoned argument as to why this revisionist tagline is undeserved - "If the allegation of a forgery is made, it is imperative to prove it and to provide sources. Just because an opinion does not fit or is not pc you can not discriminate against the underlying documents as counterfeits !!!! Which work proves the "forgery"? Why should a reputable publisher such as Harper Collins publish a "fake"? In addition, copies of the documents are given and the accuracy can be checked"( Not signed contribution Xylemphloem)[2]--51.171.93.234 (talk) 12:44, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
