Controversy

Surely, now there is a need for a section on controversies. I don't think that anyone could argue that a mention of the Ozcar affair is not-notable in an an article about one of the central figures. I will give it some thought, but in the meantime, encourage someone to get started.Methulah (talk) 10:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nazi family history

I added a short, unbiased reference to Otto Abetz in the article. It certainly is notable as part of his history and biography. If I were to have even a brief biography of me written, it would be remiss of the biographer to include the easily confirmed information regarding my famous relatives. We have the information, why not add it? It's hardly considered biased to list notable relatives in a biography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Methulah (talk • contribs) 09:55, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The statement "However he refused to discuss his feelings about his family's dark history." is defamatory to say the least so I removed it. To imply he must somehow apologise is a sly attempt to slur him as having sympathies with his uncle, no doubt some Jew wrote this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.161.1.133 (talk) 04:08, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

knee-jerk it-was-in-the-media reactions

As in many other articles of many other topics, can we please stop suddenly adding things to an article the moment they make a splash in the newspapers, and instead add them in on the basis that they add merit to the article. In this case, a great big "Controversy" section is absolute utter bull[expletive deleted]. When the article is large enough to justify a family history (as is the case with articles of FA-length) then it should be included. Do I have any support with regards for this?

I would suggest a less ascerbic, more WP:CIVIL attitude in your edit summaries. You catch more bees with honey. Timeshift (talk) 05:01, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep removed. Hardly notable at all. Blnguyen (vote in the photo straw poll) 05:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
