Talk:Morgenthau Report

Fact tag defacement of the article
After I added some reliably sourced material, Piotrus came into the article and bombed it with 16 fact tags, effectively defacing it. Piotrus has a habit of following me around and challeging my edits, based not on the quality of the edits but apparently on some form of animosity. That's not reason to deface and article and make it difficult to read. I've noted the tags and will address them soon. All of the info added is sourced to the refs I added at the end of paragraphs.

Kapiszewski article
Andrzej Kapiszewski, Controversial Reports on the Situation of the Jews in Poland in the Aftermath of World War Studia Judaica 7: 2004 nr 2(14) s. 257-304

On page 270:

Gibson reported also that Piłsudski told him that the troops newly arrived from France, that is General Haller’s army, composed to large extent of volunteer Polish-Americans, “had shown a disposition to make life miserable for the Jews, chasing them through the streets, cutting off their beards et cetera.”

Following this meeting, Gibson informed Washington about events in Warsaw on June 26, in which some soldiers from Haller’s army beat a number of Jews.50 Gibson reported that the Polish Minister of War issued a special order condemning the incident, warning the soldiers that “any violation of civil rights is a crime to be punished with full severity of law,” and that they were “obliged while off duty or on duty to aid the oppressed.” Nevertheless, the Minister believed that inter-group tensions were caused “by the enemy agents paid to provoke them”.

 * The question is whether or not this appears in the Morgenthau report (it might, I have no idea), or is it a WP:SYNTH.  Volunteer Marek   08:21, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

I removed information which was NOT referenced. There is no mention of the Blue Army in the Morgenthau Report as printed in the January 19, 1920 NY Times article. http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9904E5DF103AE033A2575AC1A9679C946195D6CF How can one include information in an article when that information was never in the Subject of the article? Where is the reference to the Blue Army in the Morgenthau Report? I was told that Wikipedia strives for accuracy and verifiability, over truth. Cite me the accurate reference to the Blue Army in the Morgenthau report, as it was published in the public newspapers, not from subsequent articles written by other people. Also, what happened to the edit button on this article? Hallersarmy (talk) 04:40, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
