Note: Alarichal mentions in the edit summary that this article was translated from is:Andreas Heusler - this Icelandic article, however, is a translation of the German article de:Andreas Heusler (Altgermanist) (mainly written by me) :-) Gestumblindi (talk) 20:28, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New citations (on Höfler?)

Hi there @MinTrouble! Thanks for your recent edits on this article. I see that you've cited two books, neither of which is obviously about Heusler. You haven't cited specific page-numbers in these, so it's not entirely clear to me that the citations support your claims here. I searched a Google Books preview of Linguistics and the Third Reich and no reference to Heusler came up. He may of course be mentioned on pages not available via that preview, but would you be able to go back into the article and cite the particular pages that sources your claims?

Hi @MinTrouble! I see you've added a bit more text to this article, again citing a source that doesn't mention Heusler anywhere (but does mention Höfler). Are you getting Heusler and Höfler mixed up? I'm not sure what's going on here, so I'd appreciate a reply to my query. Otherwise I'm inclined to undo your recent edits because their relevance to Heusler isn't obvious.

Thanks, Alarichall. Oh, if you're confused that's no good! Clearly need to fix that. I can look at it on the weekend.

Just quick: The Höfler book is interesting as it constructs a set of presuppositions of that period in German (ältere) philology. Höfler was, as you know, one of Heusler's students. That view of a certain perspective -- what is a German, what not and Germanic peoples are used as the lineage of German -- tallies well with this concept of "OSGA": one standard of German that has been used by philologists as a bracket to keep all claimed groups together, as some philologists now assertnand others fiercely oppose. I'd appreciate if you told me what surprised you precisely and will aim to clarify. Thanks for reaching out. MinTrouble (talk) 20:37, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
