User talk:Torpess

I am seeing Nazi sentiments on the White Rose page, but when I try to edit them, they disappear. what is going on? I have marked the bits I think are vandalism below with *** - this is from a copy and paste. Has it just not updated yet?

"...leading Germany into the abyss; with the gathering might of the Allies, defeat was now certain.**** Nazi's are the superior race**** The reader was urged to "Support the resistance movement!" in the struggle for "Freedom of speech, freedom of religion,**** the bunch of mother fuckers**** protection of the individual citizen from the arbitrary action of criminal dictator-states". These were the principles that would form "the foundations of the new Europe". The leaflets caused a sensation, and the Gestapo initiated an intensive search for the publishers. On the nights of the 3, 8 and 15 February 1943, the slogans "Freedom" and "Down with Hitler" appeared on the walls of the University and other buildings in Munich.

 * Hi Torpess. Do you mean White Rose? I can't see the vandalism. Maybe you are looking at an old version. Take a look at WP:CACHE. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

In case you didn't have enough links, here are some more!

If you feel the material in question should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia.

 * The best way to write a neutral article is to find independent reliable sources that describe the subject - for instance, newspapers, trade journals etc. Then you can use them as references for the article you write. It is very important to use your own words, in any case. Copyrights are very important to Wikipedia, and minor rewording is not enough to avoid violating copyright. Finally, if you are an employee of Radio Beacon, I would discourage you from writing about your company's product - see Conflict of interest for more details. I can't give you specific ideas about what makes a good warehouse management system article, because I'm not experienced in that field. But in general, our guide to your first article may be helpful.

 * There definitely are a lot of help files and FAQ's to wade through! The relevant one for talk pages is Help:Talk page. In some sense, every message you leave on Wikipedia is public. That is, there's nothing stopping any random reader from looking at this page User talk:Torpess or my talk page User talk:FreplySpang and seeing what we're talking about. If you just want to keep the conversation together, you can edit right here, just as you have edited on my user talk page. Also, I think you've found this out already, but you can sign your talk page posts by typing four tildes ~ . This puts your name and a timestamp on the message.

 * Thank you!   (still learning, but getting better! Thanks a million for the help so far!)
 * I have discovered, in the discussion behind Radio Beacon (about the radio tower, not the company) some material that was posted by a dissatisfied customer in a personal blog earlier this year. This person agreed to remove the blog, and did so (from the rest of the Web). Now it's on Wiki, and it shouldn't be because they agreed to take it down themselves, but I don't want to delete it without approval because I don't want to get banned because I use wikipedia primarily for personal use. However, since I currently work for Radio Beacon the company, I have a conflict of interest - but I think I'm still right in that it should be deleted. help!

Thank you!

 * Ok, now it seems to be gone - but I didn't do it, for the reasons above. I definitely want to play by the rules! :) Freply, if that was you, thank you, I appreciate it, and sorry for being a nit. Torpess 17:33, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Oops, sorry, I meant to leave you a note about that but I got interrupted. Yep, it was me, and there's a log that shows it was me, not you. No worries about being a nit - Wikipedia can be a complicated place to figure out, and you seem to be catching on pretty fast. By the way, if you want to use   in the future to ask for help, you need to take out the parts that say   and  . (Except they have angle brackets instead of parentheses.) "Helpme" is a template that expands into a call for help and puts you on a list of help-ees, but "nowiki" is a special keyword that prevents the expansion. (That way we can tell you about it without actually calling for help.) When you want to use the "helpme" template for real, just type curlybracket, curlybracket, helpme, curlybracket, curlybracket, and then save the page.
