Thank you for your work in the fight against Naziism in Wikipedia. I've been feeling so alone like a one-man army trying to fight back against the attempted rehabilitation of Herberts Cukurs and it is so good to see that I am not alone and that other people oppose creeping and outright Holocaust denialism.--KazyKazyKazakhstan (talk) 02:30, 15 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

October songs

my story today

Thank you for improving articles in October! - Today, it's a place that inspired me, musings if you have time. My corner for memory and music has today a juxtaposition of what our local church choirs offer. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:56, 20 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I read the Noam Cohen Wired article. Thanks for your continued efforts to keep Wikipedia a place where entries are held to rigorous fact checking. Editors like you help keep Wikipedia the valuable resource it is.

	Thank you so much for making the articles on Nazi history more credible! I've heard a lot of external complaints from Polish people about Nazi bias on Wikipedia, but never gave it much thought until I read the article about you! :-) Remingtonn (talk) 16:41, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I am picking on you because you were in the same case I was, but I think you paid more attention than I did to this part: how to evaluate IPN publications, particularly if they seem to be be out of print and also are not available online. Does it depend on the date of publication? Does it make the work someone more authoritative because the IPN no longer hosts it? Is it borderline unverifiable? (I read the memo about how verifiable does not necessarily mean easy to verify, but how far does this go if it is a lot of the references?)

If you don't know or don't want to comment, sorry to bother you, but you came to mind as someone that might know off the top of their head, so if you do have a comment I am interested. Thanks for any brainpower you apply to this problem Elinruby (talk) 08:11, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

1. If the work is held in libraries (search worldcat) it is not unverifiable
2. Yes, the IPN has gone through various periods of political influence, that particularly affect its more public-facing content. I would say that the more scholarly publications are probably a better source to cite as well as hopefully less affected by political bias.

I don't recall asking you, buidhe, nor is that what asked. Thanks anyway I guess. Elinruby (talk) 09:13, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

sorry this squabble followed me here. Go ahead and disregard the question though; I'm just re-reading the decision for myself on second thought. Elinruby (talk) 06:23, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
