Untitled[edit]

I noticed that Hohenloh removed a section that I added to the entry on Pitigrilli. The section referred to Pitigrilli's role as an informant of the Fascist secret police OVRA. My edit includes a reference to a book by Alexander Stille, with a link to the corresponding entry on Google books. This "dark side" of Pitigrilli is supported by several other documents (accurately reported in Stille's text) and is also carefully described in the Italian entry of the Wikepedia for Pitigrilli ( http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitigrilli ). I did not consider this as a controversial item. Nor it affects the literary value (or lack of) of Pitigrilli's opus. If however Hohenloh is of a different opinion, it would be appropriate for him/her to add a different perspective. But not to erased and censor my edit as "spam".

I'm very sorry, but this appears to have been an error on my part - I see no reason to delete that paragraph. I had several pages open at that time, one of which dealt with German history, and the consensus was that the information in that (German) article was fabricated, and I must have reverted the wrong article! It's quite clear that a source for Pitigrilli was provided, so I would have had no reason whatsoever to claim it was unsourced and it is clearly not spam. Must have been working too late, please accept my apologies. Hohenloh⁺ 22:19, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the rapid response. I understand the mistake was unintentional. No big deal. I am new to wiki editing and I don't seem to be able to edit directly Hohenloh's talk page so I am posting this here.

Did he really grow up as a Catholic? He had problems with Fascism for being a jew and he converted to Catholicism. So? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.217.164.221 (talk) 19:17, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
