Polish death camp controversy
Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'  — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 23:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * LOL first you say the changes needed to be described instead of being classified as "minor" so I did that yet you still revert my edits lol. "Deceptive" gives a much clearer meaning to the term in question than "descriptive". "Descriptive" is what CTV had in mind when the used the term "Polish camp in Treblinka" which is incorrect. But then again this is Wikipedia lol so I'm not suprised such bs is going around. Beckenbauer1974 (talk)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Jayjg (talk) 00:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Malik Shabazz said that the changes needed to be described instead of being classified as minor which I did so thanks for coming out :) Beckenbauer1974 (talk)

Please read Wikipedia's policies concerning neutral point of view and verifiability. Your assertion that the phrase is deceptive is not sufficient reason to include it in the article. Also, the use of the term "deceptive" introduces an inappropriate point of view to the article. There's no need for any modifier. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 17:06, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it does not introduces an inappropriate point of view to the article, that's just your opinion. Mabey you're the one who should do some reading on Wikipedia's policies concerning neutral point of view. But I see you have removed "descriptive" so at least you're doing something right. Thanks for listening!


 * What are you talking about? Two established editors both wrote that "deceptive" is POV. Also, I removed the modifier before your recent rants, so I'm certainly not editing in response to anything you've written. Have a good day, and go easy on the question marks and exclamation points. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, just like another "established editor" claims more Romanis were killed during The Holocaust than Poles! And stop lying, you removed it after I contested it so thanks for coming out! You too have a good day :) Beckenbauer1974 (talk)


 * If you took more time to read, you would see that he wrote about the percentage of Romani vs. the percentage of ethnic Poles, and he is absolutely correct. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:56, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Wrong again sir! 16.07% Poles vs 4.22%. Thank you for your "contributions" :) Beckenbauer1974 (talk)


 * You still can't read. Are you saying that 16% of ethnic Poles were killed during the Holocaust? Or are you including Jews? — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 21:02, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying! 3 million of those Jews were Polish! Judaism is a religion if you haven't noticed and we're talking about nationalities! Looks like you're the one who can't read! Once again, thanks for your "contributions"! Beckenbauer1974 (talk)
 * Jews are an ethnicity, and it's disingenuous at best to claim otherwise. As the article points out, "2.0 million (six percent) of the 31.7 million non-Jewish Polish citizens died in German hands". That's a far lower percentage than Jews (67%) or Romani (anywhere between 13% and 50%). Jayjg (talk) 23:35, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Beckenbauer, I see you are being harassed by the usual team of Jayig/Malik Shabazz. Do not fall for any traps, and refrain from personal comments/attacks. Just do whatever you plan to do in a kind way. Greetings. Tymek (talk) 01:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 09:51, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I have changed the introduction to the article away from European - as that is not a nationality; I have instead put 'German of Polish origin.' I hope this is OK! Kind regards, GiantSnowman 10:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes thank you. Is it possible to do the same for the Lukas Podolski article? My only concern is that these edits will most likely be reverted very quickly. Can anything be done about that? Beckenbauer1974 (talk)
