Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher edit

Do you have a reference for the following additional information that you added in Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher: Fisher chose James B. Donovan, a well known lawyer from New York and former assistant trial counsel at the Nuremberg Trials for his defense. Otherwise I will remove it. Adamdaley (talk) 01:15, 15 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I found a section where James B. Donovan had met Fisher at the Federal courthouse in Brooklyn. Donovan showed Fisher (Abel) his "credentials" issued by the Bar Association. This is on pages 15–16 of "Strangers On A Bridge: The Case of Colonel Abel" by James B. Donovan (1964) Atheneum, New York. However, Fisher (Abel) did accept Donovan as his lawyer. Adamdaley (talk) 04:22, 15 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Mr Daley, thank you, I made a mistake by writing, Fisher chose Donovan. Fisher had rejected another lawyer and chose D.after meeting him. I corrected this - see my last changes plus ref. :-)

I have left a detailed comment concerning your edits on Vilyam Genrikhovich Fisher article. Please note that this is a constructive and helpful comment to help you to discuss improvements to any further articles.

Heinrich Scherhorn edit

Hello Africai,

I'm popping by on a courtesy call to let you know that on your recent article of Heinrich Scherhorn I have added a number of wikilinks to connect it with other wiki-articles and I have added a number of images to try and make the article more enriched. When you get a chance maybe you could come back over and take a look at how it feels for you and if I have gotten anything wrong. Also I have given the article tags for references and categories to be added, maybe you have some references yourself from your researching that could be incorporated?

Anyway, if anythng is amiss please let me know :-)

On a personal note, thank you for taking the time to write about this most interesting charachter, the information I found to be very intriguing and informative, again thanks!

Holler if there is anything I can help with, (MrNiceGuy1113 (talk) 14:17, 18 March 2013 (UTC))Reply


Dear Mr. Nice Guy,

thank you for your help - I am still learning the ropes with wikipedia - being not quite the computer wizard. I am failing badly at embedding pictures and documents - I have some concerning Col Scherhorn. (this is me hollering:-)) And I am failing at sending messages too, so I hope, this finds you.

Yours, Africai

A page you started has been reviewed! edit

Thanks for creating Johann Haas von Haagenfels, Africai!

Wikipedia editor SPat just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Hi, this looks like a very interesting biography, however it would be great if you could add more references. I found some german-language references on a simple google search, but unfortunately I don't read german and so can't help. Good luck!

To reply, leave a comment on SPat's talk page.

Learn more about page curation.

Sure, let me know if you need any help :) SPat talk 14:18, 28 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Very interesting and useful article. Send me a note when you're done editing for a bit and I'll help out, but I don't want to keep trying to change it at the same time you're changing it. ubiquity (talk) 19:14, 20 October 2014 (UTC) Thank you very much for your help! I am happy, that someone finds CAPT Graubart as interesting as I do. I have very interesting original material in my hands - sorry for being so slow, I am not a computer expert.Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Tri-Part Naval Commission edit

Hello Africai,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Tri-Part Naval Commission for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Katrinamoris2014 (talk) 12:21, 21 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
