Expulsion of Germans after World War II
Who is involved?
What is the dispute?
User:Skäpperöd started intensively editing the article, not discussing his edits with other editors. He imposes radical German POV.
What would you like to change about this?
Academic sources shoud be used rather than German cold war propaganda.
Which academic sources should be used?--Woogie10w (talk) 21:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
The article has a huge history and discussion archived many times. Naming one or two sources would be POV. Recently two German academic writers - Ingo Haar and Rüdiger Overmans - have published on the subject. They don't push any Polish POV, but some editors prefer German government or amateur propaganda.Xx236 (talk) 06:50, 28 August 2009 (UTC) There is one more problem - the article should be, according to the title, about the expulsion of Germans. In reality it discusses also German evacuation, flight and war, including "standard" war looses and war crimes.Xx236 (talk) 07:02, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
How do you think we can help?

Motion to close
I request this to be speedily closed. The initiator of this case, Xx236, is topic-banned [1] and did not notify me of this case. Furthermore, many editors active at the article belong to the cabal currently under investigation by arbcom. Lysy, who added themselves recently and afaik is not a member of the mailing list cabal, and me have shown that we can work together constructively in the past, and there is no dispute between us I know of.
I therefore request that this request be declined. Skäpperöd (talk) 09:38, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- ..alleged cabal list Skäpperöd.
- Expulsion of Germans after World War II article has many problems mainly because was rewritten by just one editor Skäpperöd[[2]]. The article lacks sources other than German ones and it is/was challenged by many editors.--Jacurek (talk) 07:27, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
