Roger Scruton

Please could you explain your changes to Roger Scruton which to me seem unnecessary. Matt58 (talk) 09:16, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

It was not updated (he passed away in 2020) and at the same time i went through the article a little bit. You should update the Fredrick Töben article (its protected), he also passed away in 2020. Estellenation 14:46, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
Done. If you don't mind I shall revisit the Scruton article at some point. Matt58 (talk) 14:28, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
Go ahead. Estellenation 17:27, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Do you know what this means: Category:Pages containing cite templates with deprecated parameters Matt58 (talk) 08:53, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

It has to do with the references, how they are written. (you can check out my edit on the Gab article) Estellenation 13:23, 16 October 2021 (UTC)


I have read Watson's book German Genius and he is hopelessly biased against anyone and everyone between 1933-45 regardless of their genius. Feels they should not be mentioned. This is unacceptable. His book should therefore not be used by us unless absolutely necessary.Matt58 (talk) 17:03, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Agree. --Estellenation 17:23, 27 December 2021 (UTC)


What does NOTOC mean? I see you have placed it at the top of several pages. Matt58 (talk) 16:47, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Hiding the TOC. For each page with at least four headings, a table of contents (TOC) is automatically generated from the section headings unless the word NOTOC is added to the article's text. It can be nice to add when an article with several sections don't have much content. --Estellenation 18:16, 15 January 2022 (UTC)


No references on the Hore-Belisha page and no mention of his Pact with Laval over Abyssinia.Matt58 (talk) 08:53, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

I can see one reference but i am not the author of this page, I have just removed the page from Isaac Hore-Belisha to Isaac Leslie Hore-Belisha. --Estellenation 13:30, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
He was, in fact, popularly known as "Leslie" and appears not to have ever used Isaac. Matt58 (talk) 17:44, 26 March 2022 (UTC)


Did you receive my message? Matt58 (talk) 15:15, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Yes. I have replied back. --Estellenation 17:23, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

References

Please advise if I have fixed the problem! Matt58 (talk) 15:27, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

It's fixed. --Estellenation 15:35, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Germany

Please do not remove pictures that I painstakinging loaded for a considerable amount of my time. In my view we should be trying to present the more positive side of the pre-war period. It should not just be pictures of Hitler (Metapedia must not be seen as a Hitler cult) and your replacement pictures are inappropriate, especially some weird picture of an obscure street scene in Vienna. I am reverting. Matt58 (talk) 09:09, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

In any case this page needs to be filled out somewhat and possibly a new page created 'Germany at War'? Matt58 (talk) 09:54, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
I can agree with that but the street scene in Vienna is from circa 1939 and the Hitler Youth choir you have added is from a 2010s movie (The Book Thief). If you want to add quotes by Hitler, maybe add a quotes section? And when its comes to pictures, quality its importent not quantity. --Estellenation 16:40, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
OK I was unaware the choir photo was from a film. Looked pretty authentic. However your removing the photo of the very happy BDM girls at sports and replacing it with rather dreary looking sisters, just because they're in colour, is bad news, as is the awful photo of the backsides of women at one of the party days. What is that supposed to tell us?! Bizarre. The crucial thing for Metapedia is to demonstrate the positive side of Germany overall in this period, not just a few Party moments, which will inevitably reinforce The Left's branding of us all being neo-Nazis. Matt58 (talk) 12:05, 7 March 2022 (UTC
I have removed the BDM sisters and the Nuremberg rally photo. --Estellenation 12:34, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree that quality is important. Sometimes it is not always possible. Matt58 (talk) 17:42, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Crusader

Might be best to cease the arguments with him and let things cool down. Matt58 (talk) 08:07, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Liberal historians

Referring to your question on Doriot's page, sometimes liberal historians produce quite good work. Take Denis Mack Smith's large biography of Mussolini. Whilst he is a self-declared liberal, it is a very good work, for which he was openly attacked by the Liberal-Left media when it came out. In any case, a good historian is able to 'read between the lines', so to speak, in all books, especially once you know about the author. Some liberals are also appalling cynics. Matt58 (talk) 12:57, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Agreed. Of course, not all liberal historians are bad. I was thinking more generally. I think that in a "further reading" section there must be books that are not hostile to nationalism and conservatism. --Estellenation 00:04, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Complaint

Please see the complaint lodged here User talk:Aurvandil. Please start a short discussion before any major deletions. It is entirely debateable whether deletion of a picture comes under that category but maybe a quick chat could solve the problem. If no decision can be reached it can be referred to me for arbitration with the necessary links. Matt58 (talk) 16:25, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Disapproval

You do not have to keep removing Hermann Fegelein, he is apart of the National Socialist list. I don't know what you are are doing but I don't agree with your decision to remove him off the list. I respect you as an admin and want to help out but I just don't get why you'd take the person off for.

Confederazi (talk) 11:05, 03 December 2023 (UTC)

He was not a prominent person in the NSDAP and National Socialism, which make it unnecessary having him in the Portal:National Socialism. --Estellenation 16:09, 13 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Very interesting, sorry that I misunderstood you and now I know. --

Help

You might like to further tidy up the exceptionally provocative article on anti-semitism on the page for France. I have had a go at it but it is still pretty nutty. For instance, the Daily Stormer is not a credible reference. I think the section needs a new set of eyes on it. Matt58 (talk) 11:01, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
