[edit] Langer's psycological profile of Adolf Hitler

I remember reading somewhere that during the Second World War Langer was asked by the US OSS to draw up a psychological profile of Adolf Hitler. Does this warrant a mention? Does anyone know what his conclusions were? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.74.92 (talk) 13:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] North Dakota Rebellion

This phrase appears to be unique to Wikipedia; Google search on "north dakota rebellion" reveals one hit, a wordspam site. The incident is minor and can easily be folded into Langer's article, which could use the meat anyway. | Klaw Talk 00:53, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Hello I am the user who created that page. I am sorry but I wasn't sure what the name of the Rebellioon was. So I posted it under the most obvious name. I would say move instead of merge. Maybe find a better name for it etc. I would not consider the sucsession of a state "minor". Lazylizards8 04:13, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
    • First of all, North Dakota never actually seceded. It was nothing more than a publicity stunt. Second, the event fails the notability test - in a Google search on "north dakota secession" (as three terms, not as a single phrase), there are no hits regarding Langer's paper move. There's nothing wrong with documenting the event in Wikipedia, but the real topic is Langer himself, not a secession that never happened. | Klaw Talk 05:26, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually they did actuall sucede. Since no succesion by a state from the United States is legal, there is no legal way in which to declare a state independent of the US government. So Langer declared independence from the United States, in the same way (illegaly I mean) but not the same method as the South during the civil war. So, yes North Dakota did actually secede. Also I vote to move it to North Dakota Secession. Lazylizards8 17:34, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
    • You shouldn't have merged North Dokata Succesion with this!!!Lazylizards8 23:36, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
    • While we are at it we might as well merge the American Civil War with Abe Lincoln or such. Lazylizards8 23:40, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
