[edit] Julius and Ethel Rosenberg

Since I am not "in love with power," as you put it, I did not respond to your rambling and typo-ridden personal attack by deleting the entirety of your recent edit, much of which is gibberish. Instead, in the interest of good scholarship and quality writing, I took a close look at your contribution and found that, despite at least one factual error, it was both more neutral and better sourced than your previous contribution (presuming that this was you). For that reason only, I have not deleted it, and will instead address each change I have made:

  • "Ethel typed notes... on a Jell-o box." Not so, the Jell-o box was used as a recognition signal, not an information medium.
  • The sentence on Jean-Paul Sartre was a run-on, so I broke it into two sentences.
  • "Other intelligent and famous people" are weasel words that attempt to punch up the value of the statements.
  • "and with enough time passing between being the only religous group to fully deal with Hitler and their failed concordat even the deeply anti-communist, Eugenio Pacelli AKA Pope Pious the XII condemned the execution." What does this mean? Not only does this sentence start mid-phrase without a capital letter, it's convoluted and tangential.

None of these edits should be taken as tacit agreement with the information contained within your edit; they're only meant to make it comprehensible.

May I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the basics of Wikipedia — listed below — which include the simple advice "If you don't want your material to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it." Also, perhaps you would care to create an account for yourself.

Welcome!
