[edit] Ten German Bombers

Thank you for adding citations to Ten German Bombers; however, as far as I can tell, neither The Times nor spiked appear to connect that particular song with the German provisions commonly associated with Nazist propaganda (e. g. §86, §86a and §130 StGB and others) and the Home Office’s press release does not mention any songs. Unless I am overlooking something, the citations in the article do not support the article’s description of the Home Secretary’s statements, which does not make much sense on its own, either. Therefore, I suggest deleting the relevant paragraph from ‘as it might be construed…’ on, unless it can be backed up with more citations. —xyzzy_n 11:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ten German Bombers

Hi Grot,

I don't exactly understand why you removed the information about the song by Egotronic from the article Ten German Bombers. The information itself is definately relevant and deserves to be included. If what disturbed you is that the source for the statement is from a German-language newspaper, then you should have asked for another source or tried to find one yourself. But removing the statement alltogether wasn't really necessary. But if you'll read what Wikipedia considers a reliable source before removing statements based on what sources are cited, you'll read that "foreign-language sources are acceptable in terms of verifiability, subject to the same criteria as English-language sources". That means that the statement and the source can stay. If you could find an English-language source that would of course be better, but until you do that source will have to stay.
