Hi K.e.coffman--I just ran into this (cause of a really irritating sock in the history), and it's a bad but important article. That entire "Historical committee response to criticism" section needs to go (unrelated to him), and the previous section is totally UNDUE--it seems to me that the entire section is dominated by three critics and ends with his leaving the project--but there's nothing in there that indicates how important the exposition was, and there must have been plenty of praise, and possibly countercriticism. Can you see if you have the sources to improve this? Thank you very much, Drmies (talk) 02:59, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- I see you've looked at the article before. Ponyo, I see you in there as well, with a CU block of someone--the editor I just blocked might be the same, and maybe you can look at their ridiculous AN post and see if this is worth pursuing and/or documenting. I am so tired of these BS socks with their war and gun fascinations that I didn't really look very closely this evening. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 03:02, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Drmies: thank you; I'm having a look. I wonder if you could protect the article permanently, given that it's a BLP. It's been long suffering from attempts to smear the subject. Please see my earlier removal of the "20th-century German criminals" category, and so on. --K.e.coffman (talk) 08:40, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
