Hello Johnmiers Your edit to Anthony Miers has been reverted, as it breaches WP’s policy on presenting a Neutral Point of View. Like it or not, Miers was a controversial figure, and also, like it or not, his actions in July 1941 were alleged (I use the word carefully) to have been war crimes. It is no interest of mine to brand him a war criminal (check the talk page), or to hype the offence in order to offset the war crimes of others, but we have to tell it like it was, and the actions were questionable. And it is not true, as your edit implies, that no action was taken against him; while there was no official reprimand, he was advised, from the top, not to do it again. Also, if (as your username implies) you are related to Anthony Miers, you should be aware of WP’s guidelines on conflict of interest, and on making edits in areas with which we are involved.
