[edit] Organic Farming and Nazi origins

Why the censorship? - this is heavily documented and not at all vandalism

• My apologies for calling it vandalism. You can re-add it but you'll need to make sure that it has a neutral point of view and that it is has reliable third party sources that are cited, preferably inline. Please review WP:NPOV and WP:V, which are Wikipedia policies. Thanks.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 16:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

• Added back with full citations and promptly deleted by another user. Interesting to see our modern day environmentalists adopting the same tactics as their Nazi forebears. We live in worrying times when such inconvenient truths as the origins of a farming technique have to be suppressed. P3rkypat (talk) 17:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

• "adopting the same tactics"? Hardly. Did you notice that I left in this reference: Alex Avery (2006) The Truth About Organic Foods (Volume 1, Series 1) Henderson Communications, L.L.C. ISBN-10: 0978895207, which you added to the revision which I partially undid? I also responded to your comments on the article's talk page.

Please read History of organic farming, which has references to support the claim that the idea of organic farming did not solely come from the Nazis. In fact, the German who was mentioned, Rudolf Steiner, wasn't even involved in Nazism and Hitler was disdainful of him.
