[edit] Unjustifed Criticism

The person(s) who put the tag that the article "reads like an advertisement" did not thoughly read it. An advertisemrent would not mention that the book reads like a disguised tract against Gun Control, not would it mention that the writers ended with a cliffhanger and than failed to write the promised sequel. I think this is about the WORST advertisement possible for a book of this kind. So, I ask for whoever put this tag to come forward and defend his/her position, failing which after a reasonalbe time I would remove it. Adam Keller 15:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

iam for removing the tag now. If anything this is quite the harsh end of it. All kinds of unbalanced negative critical talk. Written more as an 'anti-advertisment' if anything. Needs a cleanup tag to have sections for the critics and sections for plot etc. So I'am taking out the inaccurate ad tag and adding a cleanup tag. Under plot you got more negative talk about the book. Other projects, etc etc with a small part actually talking about the plot for one part. Needs restructuring.--Xiahou 23:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Justifed Criticism

This piece of crap has an article dedicated to it? If it didn't have Gingrich's name on it, it would never have been published. It's got historical extrapolation that is laughable (leaving Britain undefeated just so the U.S. can race to her aid, Germany switching to a 9-rotor [!] cypher machine just so the writers can conceal their objectives) & technical extrapolation just as bad (granting the U.S. jet fighters, when the U.S. had no jet engine program without British aid; granting the U.S. M26 tanks, when Japanese tanks were even worse than American ones, & the M26 only happened in response to heavy German types). This is almost as bad as Fatherland, where the main character is a nitwit, & the writer is just as poorly informed. Trekphiler 06:06, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

this has what to do with improving the article or is this just all your personal critical view. aka POV. --Xiahou 21:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Publishing problems

There were two links added dealing with publishing problems stating facts and figures. But when you clicked on the link one does have a stat not in the article that 100,000 (out of ?) remained in the warehouse of baen. The other was some forum link which is not a reliable source. The entrie section became citation needed. It didn't sell well but could someone possibly find some good sources with accurate info to put in. --Xiahou 21:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
