The photos are clearly vintage and they're from US DoD files (captured German photos).Reply

Wikipedia needs to have an interface friendly to experts in fields other than computer code!

I'd love to note the sources, but I read your means by which to cite this public domain source, and frankly, I don't have the time to major in a computer language at this time. This is NOT a user-friendly interface!

January 2009 edit

  Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to History Detectives. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 01:21, 10 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I have seen article after article with counter points. What I wrote is OBJECTIVE and states the "qualifications" of the hosts which is not disputed by anyone. Placing this into the statement is completely formal.

Need I point out the tons of articles I have read with very, very, very biased and often incorrect information?

Why do you have such a vested interested in protecting this from even the most mundane of exculpatory evidence?

PS Why is Wikipedia such a closed community, with these Draconian edits, instance on 1980s coding. Is this an encyclopedia by and for programmers only??
