History editor input needed

There is a complex controversy over appropriate terminology and neutrality policy starting in the article on Josef Mengele and spilling over to War crime and perhaps other places I am not aware of. Input from history editors might be helpful. Sandy Harris 03:21, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

There seems to be a lack of current information here.

Just to clarify, so there’s no misunderstanding or hard feeling, this issue is above editor input level.

This matter has gone to the ME and the Ombudsman, and is currently before the EC as Case http://locke.citizendium.org/cz_ec/DR-2010-001.

I believe that due to the time zone difference, the EC Secretary will have retired already, which is the reason I’m commenting.

I am sure the EC will contact Dr Lohmann officially should his input be needed.

I am not sure, but the accused in this matter may well contact experts, and no Charter or EC rule prevents discussion. Howard C. Berkowitz 05:29, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Editorial guidance for WikiLeaks

Dear Roger,

would you be available to guide content development at the WikiLeaks article? Just as in the section above, this case involves Howard and Martin, who are both Editors on the article, but far from an agreement on how its content should be structured, weighed, phrased and sourced. As a Politics Editors, I think you would be well positioned to handle that matter. Thank you! --Daniel Mietchen 15:30, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Let me be quite clear for all of you on this. i am not an author on that article. I intervened to ask its principal author to deal with bias, poor structure, missing facts, irrelevant facts etc. He refused. The situation is very similar to the Josef Mengele case, where Howard also refused to amend to conform with CZ neutrality policy. His appeal subsequently to Russell Jones led to Russell concurring 100% with my criticisms. As far as I am aware, all of my editorial judgements have been upheld by other editors here -- with the sole exception of Howard. Martin Baldwin-Edwards 15:38, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Roger, my desktop computer is down, and I am borrowing a laptop for a few minutes. If you would like to get involved here, which I would appreciate, would you send me an email so I have the address -- it's on my desktop. Suffice it to say that I believe that Martin's statement above has very significant misstatements. Howard C. Berkowitz 18:14, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Indeed: so you say, Howard. I would prefer that this was checked directly with Russell, but I can find the page histories to prove it anyway.Martin Baldwin-Edwards 18:23, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
