@Mandavi: This article may share some text with Árpád Line as Gabor vasarus significantly edited both. Not copyvio, but possibly an argument for copyediting somewhere. Cheers^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 14:13, 11 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Possibility of synthesis / Original research?

Latest comment: 7 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

(Ping Gabor vasarus). DPdH, it feels like there could be WP:OR/WP:SYNTH issues with this article. Could you please re-review contents/references (or refer this on) with that in mind? Additionally, this indicates Clausewitz as originator, and a gsearch indicates that the Germans where implementing what is termed "flexible defense" during WW1 (using pillboxes vs trenches). Doctrine may have developed, and/or there may be a different translation / term for this article in English. Thanks, ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 02:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for raising this. I didn't find anything pointing to OR; pleaee feel free to engage other MilHist more expert editors to reassess. Regards, DPdH (talk) 03:03, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thus I don't think OR nor SYNTH are valid, this article is processing multiple different sources, so it is not a summary of a writing or a description of a non-existing research. I used several different sources and I marked as source several books and periodical articles about this topic. Of course not all papers on this topic, thus i thought Wikipedia is not a bibliography. In fact new articles and books on this topic are being constantly published to this day, 'cause the theme was picked up recently That's why I accidentally read about Árpád Vonal during my PhD studies too (As social-geographer I was working on an research about ethnical geographics of Transylvania, I have nothing to do with history science). Then in this context i've read about flexible defense later. I'm happy to note it (Árpád Vonal and this method) was finally included in the primary schools' hirtory schoolbooks in Hungary last year.
