[edit] moved from my talkpage, dab ()

I saw that you added material I removed back to the Else Christensen entry. The links are non-functional and that is why I removed them. Also, I stated that it was ironic that she herself ended up in prison, when she has been working with prisoners much of her life. I also think it is ironic that she is portrayed as a national socialist when she herself was in fact persecuted by the national socialists. Do you want to hunt down your sources to fix the links, or shall I remove them?-71.116.133.72 18:07, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

well, I think I see what you mean; my idea of "irony" would however be, for example, if she had actively helped imprison people, and ended up in prison herself. Inasmuch as she was on the prisoners' side all the time, I don't see anything particularly ironic in her imprisonment. The link to the letter to Ben Klassen seems broken, so I'll remove the statement. Her Nazi leanings otoh are well documented and afaik undisputed; yes, you can argue it is ironic she had to flee from the Nazis in spite of such leanings, but this happened to a lot of people, and according to your statement, it was due to a misunderstanding anyway (the Nazis suspected her of being a partisan, nobody claims that she actually did support partisan activities). So far, apart from Odinist websites, the only serious reference we have is Pitcavage, so I suppose this is what the article should be guided by at this point. dab () 11:24, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] cut from article

Since the link it was taken from is inactive now, I am cutting this as unreferenced; I do not think that anyone actively claims that it is inaccurate, however, and as far as I am concerned, it could be re-insterted.

In a 1986 letter to Ben Klassen [1], she writes
The new has not been born yet, but I hope and believe that we are today doing the groundwork for the foundation upon which the new basis for the religious/philosophical moral concepts will be built. They will have to be racial, discriminatory, self-assertive, proud.

Found the wayback link and moving it back in with proper attribution. dab () 18:33, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rework of Article

I corrected numerous errors and hunted down all the links to make sure they work. I added the rest of the paragraph from Klassen's book which seems to have been taken out of context, as well as corrected the numerous references to Pitcavage. It was actually Mattias Gardell who wrote Gods of the Blood - Pitcavage only reviewed it. All the quotes attributed to Pitcavage are actually Gardell's. Look HERE. I also removed a link to an announcement of Rud Mills book being released to members of the Odinic Rite because it was already linked earlier in the entry, and isn't really relevant unless there is actually an online copy. I also attempted to put more sources in, but don't know how to footnote them in the wiki markup. I took out some of the wiki-links that appeared numerous times to adhere more to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style, but may have missed a few.HroptR 22:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

good job, thanks! You can use {{ref|some_label}} in the text and ==Notes== #{{note|some_label}} at the end of the article for endnotes. dab () 22:21, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
