Matters for Discussion

Got to talk with Antony Beevor and one of his colleagues recently about Operation Market Garden—in keeping with his most recently published book, The Battle of Arnhem.

The WikiChevrons
Obenritter, as a new year begins, I hereby award you the WikiChevrons, for all your hard work and careful research in the area of history related to Nazi Germany and World War II; done in an objective way and using good WP:RS sources. Thank you. Kierzek (talk) 22:37, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

I think this is the way to deal with the problem you just encountered: [1]. The odds are this IP is not some random new editor... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:40, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Piotrus: Thanks, you're certainly right that this is not some random editor as who else cites WP CIVIL, other than an experienced editor. Nonetheless, I have a handle on this, but I appreciate the advice.--Obenritter (talk) 00:49, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alaric I

Thanks for your work on this. I just finished the new Boin book (really good), and Kulikowski's 2006 when it came out, one of the Peter Heather books, not to mention Gibbon and Bury. This is a difficult subject area due to minimal primary sources and changing historiography interpretations. -- GreenC 18:53, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenC: It was my pleasure. Like you, I've read those works. Actually my primary PhD work was centered around Romano-Germanic contact. Nonetheless, I agree with you, the Boin book is absolutely amazing and so much fun. If you have the time, there are probably some minor gaps here and there from the invasion of Italy where Boin's work might be helpful. If not, I may get to it eventually.--Obenritter (talk) 21:19, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cookies for your past Waterwhiz interactions

I noticed this by chance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Responsibility_for_the_Holocaust

(I have never touched it, so I am not involved.)

Just in case you have not realized - you were so patient there with an IP-ed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Icewhiz

Bows for your NPOV and more there. Zezen (talk) 03:13, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Zezen: Thanks for your kind comments. Zezen, I try to be as constructive as possible with editors, albeit I am not always able to remain entirely NPOV with certain forms of deliberate belligerence. --Obenritter (talk) 15:35, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Them are wise words - that is what it was all about, to make you lose your cool and thus subject you to an ANI or two. Zezen (talk) 16:09, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Milhist coordinator election voting has commenced

G'day everyone, voting for the 2020 Wikiproject Military history coordinator tranche is now open. This is a simple approval vote; only "support" votes should be made. Project members should vote for any candidates they support by 23:59 (UTC) on 28 September 2020.

Reich Main Security Office - name change

FYI: You may want to comment on the talk page and state your informed opinion based on the RS sources as to name change. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 01:16, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I responded. I hate debating with people simply because of their opinion. These idiots who equate going to KZs across Poland and central Europe and who have read one or two books with being an expert on Nazi Germany and/or the use of Nazi terminology are such a nuisance.--Obenritter (talk) 02:28, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Text deleted

why did you delete my text?it´s correct. Don´t worry I've undone your edition God bye — Preceding unsigned comment added by REKKWINT (talkcontribs) 19:25, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@REKKWINT:You are citing an already referenced work in that article, which I have now corrected accordingly. Your content has been retained with a minor tweak or two, but only after I scoured the original text for your additions. The page numbers now align with the 1975 version. In the future, please try and see if a work is already cited and also--please use the citation format employed throughout the rest of the page.--Obenritter (talk) 12:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
