Contents 1 Uwe Boll 2 broken link 3 Question 4 Why is this article so utterly strange?

[edit] Uwe Boll

Heinrich Böll had three sons: Raimund, René and Vincent born 1947, 1948 and 1950 as you can easily see in the German wikipedia. Uwe Boll (even the last name is different) was born in 1965 and is definitely NOT a son of Heinrich Böll - whatever you might think of his novels...

[edit] broken link

The Link "The Heinrich Böll Page" http://www.electroasylum.com/boll/ is not working ... cut it out ...

   RE: The link seems to work just fine, though the website does not seem particularly informative.

[edit] Question

Is his name Heinrich Theodor Böll or Heinrich Böll only? --AFP 14:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why is this article so utterly strange?

This is the wikipedia article on a Nobel prize winner. But it is [in its current version] utterly strange, and does not even bother to list a single one of his books? The "Literature" list gives us twenty books about his wondrous novels, which is fine, but of course the article needs to mention his best books, something about his life, etc. This is perhaps not a major problem, as we may go to any other "lesser language" wikipedia to learn about Böll, but it remains a strange and very weak article for an encyclopaedia in an ostensibly important language like English.

• It's strange because someone had messed it up, someone else had removed the mess, but forgotten to put back the original paragraphs. The're back now, and I've cleaned out a few chunks of vandalism. I also removed the claim that Böll lost his toes in WWII due to frostbite, actually he had surgery on his left foot in the 70s - he was a heavy smoker... Asav (talk) 14:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
