Reibnitz

{COPIED HERE}

Dear Moonraker In the Talk page of the English Wikipedia article on Gunther von Reibnitz I noticed that you have reinstated the following reference to an item in the the Did you know? column: The text of the entry was as follows: "Did you know... that Yad Vashem experts have stated that Günther von Reibnitz was planted in the SS to act as a spy for Hermann Göring?" As indicated in the last paragraph of the article, referenced by footnote 19, Yad Vashem was contacted and in its response it could not confirm this. I would be grateful if you could remove this statement. Kind regards urs.knecht --Urs.knecht (talk) 10:01, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Urs.knecht, this is simply a matter of record. The page was featured in DYK, and no one can change that fact, nor the "hook" used at the time. If you disagree with the DYK hook in that panel on the talk page, then you can add a statement immediately underneath it to say why. Your disagreement will carry more weight if supported by a good citation. Moonraker (talk) 23:24, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
