Manfred von Richthofen
Your edit re. the controversy about Richthofen's death was obviously made in good faith - but on reading it basically repeats (in some cases more than once!) information that is already in the article. I seem to remember reading something VERY similar elsewhere, too. While we do need to cover the facts in as balanced and fair a way as possible we also need to be clear and succinct (and also free from the least hint of plagiarism (copyright and all that).

If you feel I have been unfair, by all means raise the question on the talk page for the article. Or, although for various reasons this is NOT such a good idea, you can add something to the bottom of my talk page. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 23:45, 26 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I think you need to read the whole article - not just the "lead" (the first few paragraphs that summarise what follows) - you will see that it is much more comprehensive than you seem to think! The point is that we already include a writeup of the topic you added at the TOP of the article. just further down, near the end. (As you might expect something about someone's death to be - i.e. after "early life" and all the rest? --Soundofmusicals (talk) 15:00, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
