A fact from Edda Göring appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 December 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Edda Goering played in a fifty-metre-long replica of Frederick the Great's Sanssouci palace, built for her by the Luftwaffe in an orchard at Carinhall?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/December. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Edda Göring.

Wikipedia

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Infobox[edit]

The Infobox, which I recently added to this article, has been removed with no other reason given than "rm, please gain consensus before re-adding". It should be restored. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:40, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a strong view either way, but I doubt the benefits. The infobox which was added has a non-free image of Edda as a child of four (which is on the page anyway and which isn't terribly good for giving an "at a glance" summary of a 74-year-old), plus links to Edda's parents, who are linked in the lead already. The subject isn't complicated, and I think some benefit would need to be suggested. Or is there a policy which supports infoboxes in any event? Moonraker (talk) 21:05, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whether the image is free or non-free is immaterial to the use of an infobox. The fact that certain points are in the lede is also immaterial. The benefits of an infobox in this article, as for the many thousands of other articles that include one, are that it summarises key information from elsewhere in the article, for the convenience of readers wanting a quick overview, not least those accessing the collapsed view on mobile devices. It makes that information available as machine-readable metadata on the page; and for use in dbpedia. And it will, shortly, provide an interface with Wikidata. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:25, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A pointless addition. The details contained in the ex-infobox were three facts that were repetitions of the opening line of the article. Really no need for it at all, either as it stood, or in most other ways. To try and summarise the life of a seventy-something year old in a few trite facts is unnecessary. - SchroCat (talk) 21:30, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Message[edit]

I intend to clean up this article and review it, very soon. Jonas Vinther (talk) 15:12, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article is cleaned up with full and reliable references and sources. Grammar mistakes has also been corrected. Jonas Vinther (talk) 19:33, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~I have just nominated the article for GA status. Jonas Vinther (talk) 23:03, 5 May 2014 (UTC)~~[reply]

Informal review[edit]

I have had a look at this article as requested. It has been significantly improved, well done. I have added a couple of interested WikiProjects, and it should be GA nominated under one of them. I don't believe there is sufficient military linkage to include WPMILHIST. A few points:

there is an uncited statement, I have tagged it.
there is a citation which doesn't point to a reference (Ackermann), and a reference that has no citation pointing to it (Lachenmann).
the references need to be alphabetised, and given the number, I suggest the refbegin and refend templates are used to reduce the font size.
I haven't checked the licensing on the images.

Well done, and good luck with it. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 05:05, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ISBN problem[edit]

I will fix the ISBN problem and make some improvements soon. Jonas Vinther (talk) 13:09, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Misrepresentation of holocaust[edit]

What is the purpose of the statement that Edda has "never publicly commented on her father's role in the Third Reich and the Holocaust"? The so-called Holocaust is not the most important event in her father's career. In fact it had little or nothing to do with him. What about his relationship to Hitler, leadership of the Nazi Party, propaganda role, or involvement in the war? These are all far more important.Royalcourtier (talk) 19:04, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mistranslation of Quote?[edit]

The block quote in the "Later life" section is clearly the same quote as the one in the article on Winifred Wagner, but in that article the first person mentioned is Emmy Göring, not Edda. Can someone with access to Gottfried Wagner's "Our Zero Hour" check to see which is right and correct the appropriate article? SilverStar54 (talk) 07:11, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
