[edit] Family

I've now got Harrer's biography. What the film shows is reasonably accurate about his first wife. Nothing that Harrer says supports the theme with his son, who was in fact raised by his first wife's mother. --GwydionM (talk) 11:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Added some more details, and removed the 'needs more' tag. --GwydionM (talk) 19:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

The demand is a bit excessive. Regarding Anschluss, Lhasa Gonggar Airport and the Seventeen Point Agreement, you only need to click on the link to find a well-referenced Wikipeida article. Isn't that enough?

I've added more explicit references for other matters. --GwydionM (talk) 17:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

No, it isn't enough. You can't use Wikipedia as a citation/source. Comments such as To have said that in 1939 would have been extremely bold, since Austria had been part of Greater Germany since the Anschluss of April 1938 are certainly OR. John Smith's (talk) 22:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

What is 'original'? To mention the fact that Austrian had officially vanished, which is not in dispute? Or to assume that Nazis didn't take kindly to criticism?

I'd have though 'original research' was claiming to have uncovered new facts, not generally known. Not pointing out an unlikely event in a supposedly true story.

Seriously, do you believe that Harrer would have got away with such a remark? --GwydionM (talk) 17:00, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
