Due to real life commitments, I am less active on Wikipedia. I will reply to messages, et cetera when I can. Thank you.
Your addition to one of my articles on the german Wikipedia
[edit]Hi. Please excuse my not too good english.... You added a talk topic regarding one of my latest articles (Liste der Kettenfahrzeuge der Kaiserlich-Japanischen Streitkräfte = List of Imperial Japanese Forces tracked vehicles) to my personal talk page at the german Wikipedia earlier this week. Thx for that. I tried to reply in english and also added all to the talk page of the article.
There are many articles on Wikipedia Germany and England plus picture descriptions on Wikimedia Commons that do collide with the results of my researches on japanese military force during the last years. It seems that many western authors during the last 75 years mainly used wartime and postwar US intelligence and/or military sources (most of them because they had nothing else...). But these are full of mistakes and/or wrong conclusions. At the moment I mainly use japanese sources like the Japan Center for Asian Historical Records (JACAR) online archives and japanese books even if my japanese is very bad. Nevertheless this already gave me a lot of additional informations and I had to revoke many of the things I was sure to know. Yours Thomas aka Mastertom211 (talk) 02:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thomas: thanks for the reply. I replied on your German Wikipedia talk page. I have found that the good WP:RS sources in English or otherwise, use much more than the wartime and post-war US military sources for published information. Certainly, the ones I have used over the last 11 years of working on Japanese AFV and tanks, do so. And I do use Japanese sources, as well. At any rate, as I noted, I am going out of town and will not be able to edit in any real degree until I return. I hate trying to do any detailed replies or editing by my mobile phone. You can email me, if you wish. Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 18:05, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
Enthusiastic experiments? What's that?
[edit]I suspect that it is a typo for "euthanistic" experiments. The experiments that are mentioned in the following paragraph. Perhaps you might reconsider your revision. If it refers to euthanasia, than it need not be mentioned in this paragraph, if it is elaborated in length in the next. Wuselig (talk) 21:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- (tps) Per Evans, The Third Reich at War, p.729: "...Ernst Grawitz, the SS chief medical officer and enthusiastic experimenter on concentration camp inmates...". It's always useful to check the source. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks BMK. I tweaked the sentence to read better. Kierzek (talk) 01:17, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
