Neutral language about "extremists"? edit

The passage below isn't offensive, but it does take an implicit point of view. Would it be better to give neutrally-worded examples of his "anti-extremist" actions?

He played a central role during the political tension in the Weimar Republic, and was a fierce defender of the democratic republic against right-wing and left-wing extremists.

I might well have approved of his actions, no doubt against Nazis and Communists, so I'm not taking their side, but calling them "right-wing and left-wing extremists" is giving a judgement rather than a description. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. —— Shakescene (talk) 18:55, 7 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Basis for character in TV series edit

The source for the statement that a character in the TV series Babylon Berlin is based on Weiss is only a blog that does not support its supposition with any evidence. The blog's author writes only "I suppose B.Weiss is the model on which the character of August Benda was created in Babylon Berlin." I don't think this is enough to include as an assertion of fact here. Bir oqughuchi (talk) 06:40, 6 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
