Military district (Germany)

Hello, thans a lot for posting on Reference desk/Archives/Humanities/2018 February 18! As you seem to have sound knowledge on the subject, would you mind improving the article in question accordingly (if you can arrange it at some point)? Best wishes--Boczi (talk) 20:46, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll take a look at it. I'm sort of busy right now so it may be awhile before I make any changes. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 04:01, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Landwerh, Fedorowicz, etc.

Re: Talk:Narva Offensive (15–28 February 1944)#Tieke, Landwerh, etc., is a Waffen-SS apologist who’s written for the Journal of Historical Review and a notoriously pro-Wehrmacht publisher really a hill you want to die on? A genuine question: are you not familiar with such authors / publishers?

Separately, if you could consider responding to my comments at Talk:Erich_Hoepner#Eastern_Front before reverting my edits across multiple pages, I would appreciate it. You also stated you’d address similar comments at Talk:Wilhelm_Ritter_von_Leeb#Leeb_and_Einsatzgruppe_A. --K.e.coffman (talk) 23:17, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@K.e.coffman: I've reviewed Tieke and Landwerth. Tieke was a participant in the war and any material he has written as memoir is fine as long as it's properly attributed in context and not demonstrably false. I'd take a pass on anything else he's written. Landwerth seems to be wholly inappropriate, not necessarily because of any perceived bias, but because he's non-credentialed and, as far as I can tell, not cited as a reliable source by credentialed historians or other recognized subject matter experts. Yes, I'm familiar with J.J. Fedorowicz and the JHR, but the willingness of a publisher to put out what could be characterized as apologist literature is largely irrelevant to the reliability of a source. All that matters is the pedigree of the author. That said, I'm not familiar with any reliable sources who have published in JHR. LargelyRecyclable (talk) 18:11, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
