I think it's better not to use the writings of Horst H. Geerken, a fraudster and pulp fictioneer writer for the Indonesian pulp community.
Somebody who uses Wikipedia page reference which doesn't excist anymore.--ArmTheInsane (talk) 15:55, 6 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
I removed the part of Horst Geerken because his work is pure fictional and is of no use otherwise than for Indonesian Radical islamic propaganda on Wikipedia.§Orange2000 (talk) 12:13, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Very good but slight warts. Final sentence contains a grammatical error and the expression 'guest of the Gulag' might have seemed cool when written but it's not historical or WP-worthy. Cheers.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Brett Alexander Hunter (talk • contribs)
Some valid thought triggers here. Trouble is, with wikipedia one is to some extent a prisoner of the sources, and many sources on this lady, especially from the "East German" period, find her a broadly heroic figure. Western sources, too, are often sympathetic, presumably picking up from people who knew her: she was evidently "quite a charmer". People who would never have shared her political outlook (along with others who were shamelssly political fellow travellers) took to her. BUT wikipedia contributors do have the chance to choose which sources they prioritize, albeit without gratuitously distorting the overall balance of the sources massively. If you think there's not enough from the warty side here, then please do us all a favour. Find some of the more warty sources and redress the balance! That's how wikipedia works. On a good day. (And yes, sir: you do need to cite your sources.) And of course, like it or not, all history (almost all history) tells you as much about the periods from which it is written as it does about the matter(s) it purports to treat. With thanks in anticipation. Success. Be well. Charles01 (talk) 08:54, 31 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
