[edit] Churches in Dresden

Hello and Welcome aboard to Wikipedia PeterBln. I have noticed you have been contributing to the Dresden article and starting several new pieces concerning some of the buildings that were destroyed during the Allied bombings of WW II. Thank you for your contributions. However, it appeared you were rushing to enter information and not too concerned about the wording or formatting of the article. Sorry to say, this may cause the pieces to be tagged for deletion. I have gone ahead and modified two of the articles Japanisches Palais and Wackerbarth-Palais to fit more into the Neutral point of viewNo original research * VerifiabilityReliable sourcesCiting sources* Manual of Style *CopyrightsPolicy for non-free contentImage use policy* External linksDeletion policyConflict of interestNotability. In addition, I am currently reworking the Sophienkirche piece, which I believe could be a real gem. What I would ask from you is that when posting the articles, to Wikipedia, just take a little more time and structure your pieces into a more encylopedy type of format, as the links above will help you with, before posting. It will prevent the article from being tagged for deletion and it will prevent you from being frustrated from have to defend the articles from the editors chopping block. Any help I can give, please just drop me a line either here or on the Wikipedia German site under the same user name. Once again, Welcome Aboard. Shoessss |  Chat  00:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, how can i reply to that,please? The email-function doesn't seem to work. Regards, Peter

Hello Peter - Sorry it took so long to respond! I actually took your talk page off my watchlist after a couple of weeks and, to be honest, just forgot to check back. Regarding the email function if you go to either Shoessss , my User page, or Shoessss page and hit Email this User on the left hand side of the page, I should receive your email. Hope this helps.

[edit] April 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to East Prussia has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive.

---> Hi, i know that Allies historians would regard anything as "inconstructive" that reveals their crimes. Everything i write is proven to be true, if you think history is about making you feel good about your country, rather than dealing with facts, then keep on hiding these facts., I might change the article back anytime, at the moment i have no time for it.


Use the sandbox for testing

Thank you, i shall not. A sandbox is for testing, i do not need to test, i am capable of writing and i would consider my command of the English language as sufficient.


Greetings ,

Peter

[edit] Dresden Image

Hi, the image is not misleading since it clearly says "Coventry Cathedral" in the caption. There is no ambiguity.

--->

I have not said the words were misleading. I have said the picture was.


So why is the picture there in the first place? It seems like one of these popular attempts to "excuse" or legitimize the Dresden massacre. I am not going not accept that.


Secondly, it is worthy of inclusion because it has interesting historical value in the context of highly notable WW2 bombing campaigns.


>


The "interesting historical value" is, that Coventry was centre of the British Ammunition industry, and therefore a military target of high value. Dresden was everything but that. The few factories that still were producing anything at all, were at the edge of the City. In Dresden during the massacre, they were never targeted. So if you include this crucial difference, saying that coventry was a defended city and military target, and Dresden was neither of that, then we might be able to discuss about leaving this image. But even if you included this main difference (which until now you haven't), it seems as if you are trying to hide facts and legitimize the Dresden attack. Remember, in Coventry there were no 500 000 refugees at the time of bombing, and nobody in Germany had ordered that the target in England were civilians. A british legal norm issued on February 14th 1942 had ordered exactly that: that the targets were civilians, rather than military objects. At the same time, the Allies powers knew that the large majority of people in the city were mothers and children, and the elderly, whilst men were fightingt at the front. In other words: The official target in Dresden and any other German city was not the Nazis, but Mothers and Children.

Stop trying to legitimize Allies crimes and atrocities, William. We're not living in the cold war era any more.

greetings,

Peter
