Wilhelm Ritterbusch moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Wilhelm Ritterbusch, does not have any content or sources and would normally have been deleted. But I see there are images of this person on Commons. So, I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. In future, please do not create pages in the main part of the encyclopaedia which are clearly not ready, but work on them in draft or in your sandbox first.

I am so sorry. I just finished the first version of this Article, just published it seconds ago. I did not know how to create this article without getting published. I am new in the english wiki as I am comming from the german wiki. But nevertheless my translation is finished. You can see the whole Article now.Dave-George (talk) 01:20, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Wilhelm Ritterbusch

Hello:

The copy edit you requested of the article on Wilhelm Ritterbusch from the Guild of Copy Editors has been completed.

I think the article was in reasonably good shape. There were a few places, particularly the final paragraph, where I had to interpret what was meant to make it understandable in English. Please check to make sure that I have not altered what you intended to say. I notice that you have added citations to some of the quotations used in the article. Others have not been cited but should be.

One obvious question a reader would have on finishing the article is what happened to Ritterbusch after the War? Clearly, unlike his brother Fritz he was not executed, but was he tried for any type of war crime? What was his occupation?

Do let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Welcome to English Wikipedia.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist, I would like to thank you for your kind words. I added some sources to the missing citations. I checked that one final paragraph and from my point of view, your edits are contextual alright.

As I am a distant relative of Wilhelm Ritterbusch, I know a bit of his post-war life. Sadly there are not any good public sources to proof his post-war life for Wikipedia. He fled from the Netherland and migrated to Denmark together with his children under his real name. He has never been prosecuted by any courts. He lived as a free man until his death. I also know that he died April 10. 1981 in Skelund, Denmark. He did not die in Germany! But unfortunatly the only source describing his death is very poor and not well researched. Sadly there aren't any other better sources. Maybe you know a way or method to proof it.

Thank you very much! Sincerely Dave-George (talk) 22:01, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, apart from checking if there is a Registrar of Deaths in Skelund with a searchable database you could cite, I don't have any suggestions. You might want to add a last paragraph sentence to the effect that: There do not appear to be any reliable public records describing Ritterbusch's post-War life.
