Talk:Joachim Müncheberg/Archive 1

Overly detailed article
I was going to place tag but want to see if I can get any feedback on Talk first. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:25, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I would oppose that. This article has been through multiple layers of review and no criticism of the level of detail were made. You are clearly unfamiliar with the comprehensiveness criteria for Milhist articles on en WP. Please familiarise yourself. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:38, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

The article is using a number of self-published and questionable sources, such as Ralf Schumann who also publishes in the extremist publisher VDM Heinz Nickel. The article contains a source from another extremist publisher. Given the WP:QS sources, the level of detail is WP:UNDUE. I tagged the article accordingly.

Please also see diff for additional reductions; rationales included in the edit summary. Please let me know if there are any concerns. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:01, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * re: this edit, I mentioned above that, due to the questionable sources, I found the level of detail to be undue. Would Template:Undue weight be more appropriate here? K.e.coffman (talk) 05:00, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * If the prime concern is source reliability (which I don't yet have time to comment on in this particular case) then I think that's the tag that should be used; I'm not sure an additional undue tag is needed since it would seem to follow from questionable sources, but it'd probably be more appropriate than an intricate detail tag, which could in theory apply equally to an article whose sources are judged impeccable.

 * Wubbe is used for one citation. The case for the unreliability of the other has not been made out, and appears to be that he has had a book published by a publishing house coffman doesn't like. He has also had books published by other publishing houses, including the one used here. In the absence of information about this particular publishing house, I think this complaint is very thin. I'm reverting the deletion of information cited to Schumann et al for now. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:35, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Ralf Schumann was discussed here: Talk:Joachim_Helbig. It seems unlikely that his Landser-hefte booklet from UNITEC-Medienvertrieb would be any more reliable than his works published with VDM Heinz Nickel. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:46, 10 August 2017 (UTC)


 * According to current consensus at WP:RSN, Schumann & Westerwelle is not a reliable source. Please do not remove the tag until this issue is resolved. –dlthewave ☎ 18:12, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
