This is encyclopedia, not legal history.

Somehow the verbally challenged user above managed to delete the past entries of this history page and paste them over at another wikipeida page. A very small portion of them I will repost:

[edit] Stasi spy

is this true?--84.172.90.6 11:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

it's widely speculated. If you mean true, as in with a court order then the anwer is no. But then how many actual spies have you seen outed in court? It would defy the point of spying if it that was a usual bussiness. There's been a plethora of evidence in the greek press however, most notably, the thirty plus pages special booklet issued by eleftherotypia, with only a miniscule portion of the stazi archives making extensive reference to the person in question. That said, it's the basis of all western democracies that everyone is innocent until proven guilt, and we should always bear that in mind. 195.134.69.112 00:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Allegations of spying

Please do not remove the BBC source from the article. According to WP:BLP, accusations that could be considered libellous against living persons are to be removed immediately, unless there can be a reliable source to back it up. Before my recent edit, the BBC citation had been removed (I had to go back to the history to find it) and the article had an unsourced claim about espionage charges. So it is essential that the BBC citation is not removed, or else the article becomes nothing more than slander.

Also, it is absurd of some users to remove the allegations alltogether. The incident was notable in this person's life, so it is important to have a mention in the article, given its due weight. In this case and considering the current length of the article, I believe one sentence with the appropriate citation is enough. --Michalis Famelis (talk) 12:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
