User talk:Hermanoswald

I confess that I do not understand this whole mechanism and that I do not have time to study it. So I do not know what "user talk" is andwho gets access to it, and how. Perhaps this is nevertheless the place to explain my reasons for radically revising the entry for "Franz Leopold Neumann" and for hoping that the changes, based on years of study of this important political thinker, are not thoughtlessly undone. The earlier entry contained quite a bit of misinformation about Neumann's career; it omitted references to important work for which he is remembered; and it oddly concentrated on a poorly documented and still contested account of his supposed "espionage" activity during some months in Washington, as if this were the central feature of his life. During the six years after the person said to have been the head of his "espionage" group testified in full and at length about her activities, Neumann was accepted as a trusted confidant of both the State and Defense Departments in the development of the Free University in Berlin. Until his death. In any case, my revisions do not purge this controversial matter from the record but keep them in perspective. If I read the history of the entry right, which I cannot swear to, the version focused on the "espionage" story originated from an official National Security Agency webpage--which has incidentally been "banned" until December, 2006, presumably because of distortions elsewhere. Was this done on taxpayer's work time?
