Talk:March Action

Reaction Section of the article
I wasn't impressed by the supposed reaction of the Die Rote Fahne (“Shame on the workers who do not know where their interests lie and keep away from the revolution [...] It is the fault of the working masses who have not given the answer they should have given...”) and I found it to be very out of character, apparently the source comes from an italian book on the forgot characters of the 20th Century (i.e. an opinion piece, basically). The source doesn't cite the date of this issue of the DRF (not even the year), and unfortunately because of me not knowing German I can't check any digitalised issue of the Rote Fanhe in the period of April 1921 (which is when I suppose this presumed reaction of the DRF was written). Since this is a quotation, and the Wikipedia policy on quotations is pretty clear about the fact that you must use original sources (especially not books that doesn't even cite their bibliography on the matter), I will delete this "quotation" until it can be verified on the DRF itself.

This article is plagiarized from Deutsches Historisches Museum
This article is an almost word-for-word translation of Die Märzkämpfe in Mitteldeutschland 1921 from the Deutsches Historisches Museum at https://www.dhm.de/lemo/kapitel/weimarer-republik/innenpolitik/maerzkaempfe. On 7 March 2020 St Judas the Lazarene  (now permanently blocked) claimed he had expanded the Wikipedia article from the above, but even though the DHM article is cited at the end of every paragraph, the text in most places is so close a translation that virtually this whole article should be in quotes. (The German language Wikipedia article on the March Action is, interestingly, largely just an uncomfortably close paraphrase of DHM.)

Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
