Discussion with User Tataral
This has already been raised with you repeatedly now: Mass reverting the text to an old (and quite biased) version, especially after other editors' edits including a number of improvements by myself to address some of your concerns and my own concerns about various issues, and to improve precision and formatting, is not the way to go about it if you want to change anything. In this process you are also erasing formatting and a number of recent improvements. For example, you reintroduce communist functionary instead of professor which I changed it to previously in the infobox. You also continue to reintroduce many biased statements such as "probably due to pressure by the American government" (speculation) and to delete sourced material on her views on East Germany. "Corrected the injustice" is not an encyclopedic wording and not a wording we use in Wikipedia articles under any circumstances; Neutral point of view. Also, as already explained to you, Wikipedia doesn't list names of children who are not notable, only names of notable children. You also really need to stop with your silly accusations against everyone else for "vandalism", it is really your (mass revert) behaviour that is problematic here, and it will not get you anywhere. --Tataral (talk) 01:08, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, for the record I find both that both the version that you are reverting to, and the other version before that, had some problems with biased and/or unsourced statements (either too negative or too positive), but I think I have addressed most of these concerns now and if there are still parts of the article that you object to (it's not clear to me if you've even read/considered the recent changes, which you are required to before editing the article), I urge you to address those issues specifically on the talk page, without resorting to personal attacks and without mass reverting to an old revision, which is not the way we do things here. --Tataral (talk) 04:57, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
