Talk:Alperin v. Vatican Bank

Untitled

I set this up primarily to collect content from several other pages, where it was scattered without much order. --Joy [shallot] 03:00, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Phrases like "almost mythic" suggest aspects of this article come from sensational journalism, not fact.71.198.183.159 17:25, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

The case is pending in federal court as of 2007 - this can be verified at www.vaticanbankclaims.com or doing a PACER search for Alperin v. Vatican Bank.

What is the real importance of this article?

Sincerely, I have never seen in the world press anything relevant about this class action. It seemed more for me like another piece of Serb propaganda here in Wikipedia. Even the case per se could be one, since it was opened just days after the end of the successful Operation Allied Force...

I think this article should be deleted, anyway. It even does not have any kind of trustable references beyond the iste of the claims itself... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.206.228.65 (talk) 09:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't disagree with you entirely. It does have one source, but most of it is unsourced. It has had an unref template for six months. I think that's long enough to leave the unsourced material in the article, especially since only one point of view appears to be covered. I'm giving this a few days for comments, then I'm removing the unsourced sections (most of the article). Ward3001 (talk) 16:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

The unregistered user's link to Serb propaganda, along with the tone of the comment, is unnecessarily inflammatory and offensive, but I agree that the article should, at least, have the unreferenced material removed. Wikiyuvraj (talk) 00:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

How about an esteemed Professor of History at a Catholic University endorsement of the lawsuit's premise? See Dr. Michael Phayer, Pius XII: The Holocaust and the Cold War, 2008, ISBN 13:978-0-253-34930-9. More Serb propaganda I suppose? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.203.193.183 (talk) 12:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

The general claims are 95% supported by Dr. Phayer's book. The case is still pending, maybe click on the link to the Fifth Amended Complaint that has an official PACER file stamp on the top? Seems that someone protests too much about Serb propaganda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Resistk (talk • contribs) 12:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Neutrality

Someone claims that the last section, "Legal Analysis", is not neutral. I don't see why. It seems to involve decent legal argumentation, with reference to analyses from experts, and references to other legal cases. I do not see how this is not neutral. I think the Non-neutrality warning should be removed from the section. 158.143.65.54 (talk) 09:44, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

On the basis of the previous post, I removed the POV-tag. Whoever feels this section is not neutral, should point out exactly which parts. Schlabberbacke (talk) 20:05, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
