User talk:Future Perfect at Sunrise/OberRanks

Central hub?

I wonder if it makes sense to continue to use this page as a central hub for a cleanup project which appears to be necessary. --K.e.coffman (talk) 19:04, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

That's fine with me, sure. We could also move it to some location in project space if anybody has a good place for it. Diannaa mentioned a useful tool yesterday during the ANI discussion; I understand it outputs a list of articles in the format used during "Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations", so maybe we could use a structure analogous to those and merge this page's contents into it.

The Neelix case was hosted in userspace (User:Anomie/Neelix list) and I did so myself once (User:Diannaa/Problematic images). It's easy to use the tool once we decide where to paste the resulting list. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:14, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

I have checked and in some instances cleaned the following:

• Adolf Eichmann - content with falsified source removed
• Adolf Hitler - no violation
• Albert Speer - cleaned presumptively
• Amon Göth - cleaned presumptively
• Auschwitz concentration camp - Cleaned at the time of the GA prep
• Blondi - pop culture references removed some time ago
• Einsatzgruppen - Cleaned at the time of the GA prep
• Heinrich Himmler - Cleaned at the time of the GA prep
• Hermann Fegelein - no violation
• Josef Mengele - Cleaned presumptively
• Reinhard Heydrich - removed content presumptively
• Schindler's List - no violation
• Schutzstaffel - Cleaned at the time of the GA prep. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:41, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Here are some that I have checked...

• Das Boot - unsourced content removed
• Hans Johannsen - unsourced content related to Das Boot removed
• Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock - some unsourced content, partly related to Das Boot, removed, more to be checked

I checked...

• SS and police leader - reviewed cited source and changed text accordingly
• Military career of Adolf Hitler - removed large unsourced content

WikiProject Germany Coordinator here. What can I do to help? –Vami_IV† 13:30, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

I can open a page at the WikiProject for an "Operation" project a la Military History - if you'll agree to the name "Project Coffman." Been gearing up to take on Wehraboos in my own time under that name for a couple months now. –Vami_IV† 13:38, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Why would it be called "Project Coffman"? Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:35, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Good question. I've been calling the idea "Project Coffman" because, in my opinion, you can't wrong with wanting to be K.e. Coffman. I realize the name is kind of bad and in this case not entirely applicable, now that I've read some of your evidence. –Vami_IV† 16:13, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Edit: For clarity's sake, the name (Project Coffman) was an idea I've been working towards (gathering sources) for improving content related the Nazi Germany and keeping it truthful. Stealing images and inventing sources seemed to fit into the "problem" the project would address. –Vami_IV† 16:44, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

"Project OberRanks" sounds like the obvious name. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:22, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

If it must be named, then the subject matter would be the appropriate title, not an editor's name. Kierzek (talk) 16:49, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

"Deletions" section

I started a "deletions" section to track AfD / PROD nominations:

• User:Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise/OberRanks#Deletions

Closing sections

What do you guys think of closing sections that have been resolved, such as here: Service record of Karl Wolff. The closure would mean to show that no further action is necessary. --K.e.coffman (talk) 00:30, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Looks sensible to me, it would be a quick visual indicator of progress. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 06:20, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
