Stasi

edit

Hi, I just noticed that I am the first to post on your Talk page. In the Stasi article, please stop deleting sourced material and replacing it with copied and pasted text containing large number of grammar and numeral formatting errors, such as here and here and here. This version incorporates all of the sources -- both the overall total history figures and the 1989 only figures that you added from two sources. They don't contradict each other. One incorporates total figures and the other figures from just 1989. In addition, Koehler is clearly a WP:Reliable Source, so please do not delete it. Koehler specifically differentiates figures from official sources, which is reflected in the article.Mosedschurte (talk) 10:42, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes, you are right. I didn't notice that you got in touch, and apologize hereby. As I wrote in the discussion forum, I do not doubt Koehler is a reliable source. Just the space given to estimations in a field were scientific analysis has taken place seems to me unhelpful, especially as it is a matter of great importance to people living in the former GDR. It is nothing less than blaming 2 million possibly innocent people for informing on their friends, family or colleges. And one can't be to careful with spreading accusations that are not proved right. --Frogdul (talk) 11:12, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
