 * I changed freedom to right because freedom means you can do something without restrictions but a right means you can do something with necessary restrictions for example you cannot threaten someone's life 47.189.239.148 (talk) 20:47, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

 * I deleted the land forces section on the land forces article because it already describes what a land force is on the infantry, combat vehicles and artillery section of the article 47.189.239.148 (talk) 22:52, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Dictatorship definition
Hi, I'm not sure that your change to the definition of dicator is an improvement. What was wrong with the previous definition? Other encyclopaedias (https://www.britannica.com/topic/dictatorship) and dictionaries (https://www.oed.com/view/Entry/52314?redirectedFrom=dictatorship) seem to support a wider definition. BobEret (he/him) (talk) 22:27, 15 May 2023 (UTC)


 * On the structure section you shouldn’t put the leader of a dictatorship is a dictator because it already said it in the beginning of the article and I changed the dictatorship definition because it is controlled by a dictator the dictator may share power with elites but he is the one who has the real power so that’s why I changed it to just a form of government controlled by a dictator 47.189.239.148 (talk) 22:48, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding. Could you provide a WP:RELIABLESOURCE to support this claim? As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was able to find two sources that suggest that a dictatorship can include more than one powerful person (e.g. the dictatorship of the proletariat, or a military dictatorship). BobEret (he/him) (talk) 23:07, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Just to add to this: I have had a look at your recent changes, and they seem to largely not involve any sources, which might make it original research. This is not allowed on Wikipedia: WP:NOR. It doesn't matter if you know it is right; you need to find a WP:RELIABLESOURCE which says that it is right. BobEret (he/him) (talk) 23:16, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * For example hitler controlled his inner circle there might be people with power but the dictator influences them 47.189.239.148 (talk) 23:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The dictatorship article states that the Dictator maintains control by appeasing and influencing the other circle so people in the inner circle may have power but the dictator influences them which means he has the real power 47.189.239.148 (talk) 23:22, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That's not a reliable source - Wikipedia can't cite itself. I noticed that one of the sources you added was this https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/RR-04-2013-0073/full/html, which is a review of a Simple English Wikipedia article. That's not a reliable source for your claims - you need to find a non-Wikipedia, reliable source. BobEret (he/him) (talk) 23:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The German military swore allegiance to hitler and he had sole power to make a decree without the consent of parliament and he gave the ss and the sa police power so he had power over  the nazi party and Germany this you can find  in the holocaust encyclopedia 47.189.239.148 (talk) 01:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi again! I have reverted your edits on Dictatorship, because they do not seem to me to be particularly NPOV. If you want to make them, it would be great if you could establish a section on the talk page (or here!) first, showing reliable sources which support your changes.

Weimar Republic
I tried to explain in my last change why there is confusion between:

"the hunger and privation of the war years combined [merged / came together] with the awareness of an impending military defeat to help spark the German Revolution" (the original intended meaning)

and "the hunger and privation of the war years, combined with [in addition to] the awareness of an impending military defeat, helped spark the German Revolution" (the completely legitimate way you were reading it that I hadn't noticed at first)

So I changed it to remove the confustion: "the hunger and privation of the war years came together with the awareness of an impending military defeat to help spark the German Revolution", which is grammatically correct. Your change to "the hunger and privation of the war years came together with the awareness of an impending military defeat helped spark the German Revolution" is incorrect and doesn't make sense (unless you put 'and' before 'helped').

OK? Can we put this to rest now? GHStPaulMN (talk) 11:30, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
