Talk:Friedrich Hecker

POV explanation
These are not neutral phrases: There are others as well. LaurentianShield (talk) 21:16, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * "attempted to extort"
 * "impracticable provisions"
 * "was not at all ready to listen"

Probable source
Update on the above: most if not all of the non-neutral language comes from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. See for example:



So I do not anticipate any dispute from modern Wikipedians. However, I believe we may need a little time for commentary. Also, I am not shirking my responsibility to clean it up myself, but it takes some work and there are a few other higher priorities for me right now.

Really just one section, so focused the POV tag on that. The rest of the article is just disorganized. Also there is a broken Wikisource link. All of these things add together and amplify the lack of neutrality on one section, but can be addressed one at a time. LaurentianShield (talk) 16:33, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Heckerlied
I came to this article from a non-Wikipedia mention of the song. It is barely mentioned in “Postwar activities and reputation” paragraph, but perhaps information from the German Wiki there cited should be adapted and given here (and in the Hecker uprising article). A job for someone with better German than me?
