== Who Owns Hitler? == |

This is pure vandalism, meant to call attention to an arrogantly ignorant elitist admin named Gwen Gale who has posted on this Hitler site recently. |

If you want to contact us privately, you can try theplutonpack at gmail. Some admin will probably disappear this and block us. Thanx. |

I am not a scholar, I read Wiki but would not think of editing it. But I was disappointed in this article, and many points in the discussion, so I am asking some questions. Perhaps someone else will read and address them... 99.41.251.5 (talk) 01:27, 5 August 2010 (UTC) As to sources, the last books I have read are The Murder of Adolph Hitler by Hugh Thomas (sort of shaky) and The Last Days of Hitler by Anton Joachimsthaler (English translation, I buy much of this). |
|||
As the article lead says... This said, this talk page isn't a forum for talking about personal views or questions on a topic, it's meant for talking about sources and how to echo them in the text. I say this because the article seems to already cover, with thorough citations, most if not all of what you've brought up. Gwen Gale (talk) 09:45, 5 August 2010 (UTC) |
|||
I would like to direct people to the work of Ian Kershaw in general, and specifically to Hitler, 1939-1945: Nemesis ISBN 0393322521. Chapter 17 and the epilogue relate to this article. Please pay attention to his notes and sources. Be warned, his book Hitler: a Biography is a kind of digest which does not include these wonderful resources. |
|||
In view of this information, and hopefully with the help of Gwen, I propose edits similar to the following...Reference others may include Trevor-Roper and Beevor. Wm5200 (talk) 16:36, 7 August 2010 (UTC) |

If I had read Kershaw's Nemesis Chapter 17 note 156 and Epilogue note 1 I wouldn't have wasted your time. You can't get much clearer than that. Should be required reading.

Article talk pages are not meant as general forums or question boards about a topic. Moreover, they are not meant as outlets for your original thoughts on topics, even if you put those thoughts as questions. Please either start citing sources (along with thoughts about how to echo those sources in the text), or stop posting to Talk:Death of Adolf Hitler.

'''Look at the talk page. Did Wm5200 bring up valid points? Did he attempt to reference them? Did he try to improve the article?''' |
|||
It is now January 2011. Wm5200 has been permanently blocked for trying to introduce Sir Ian Kershaw to Gwen Gale. Gwen Gale has collected more stars. Kierzek and Farawayman fixed up the article some, but still no Kershaw acknowledgment by Gwen Gale. |
|||
Is this how you think Wiki should work? Should Wm5200 be blocked from improving the article while Gwen Gale is rewarded for not assisting him? |
|||
Or should Wm5200’s block be reconsidered? |
|||
This is not about outing Gwen Gale, as some say. No one cares who Gwen Gale is. This is about holding her accountable for things she has said and done on Wikipedia and signed Gwen Gale to. Hiding behind those who have a real reason to hide is a bit hypocritical, don’t you think? |
|||
Does this conflict have political overtones? Wm5200 says “Cabal” and “they” and is ridiculed. But Farawayman has been blocked, and others have been intimidated. Be careful. |

Going "with scholarly books" (that are balanced and objective, as far as secondary sources/authors can be) has always been my aim on Wiki; and as to this article, specially; Farawayman, who has worked hard of late, herein, I am sure would agree. "Time" and other duties are something that keeps many of us from more Wiki editing/writing and cross-checking at a more expedient rate. So, present what you will for consensus; there is plenty of "time". Cheers, Kierzek (talk) 19:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |
|||
I'm not offering [1] it as a source, Gwen. Only to demonstrate that a lot is floating out there. There's enough trash being passed off as sources in this article as it stands, without any more needing to be added. What the article especially needs to do is to bring forth that seventy years after the fact, the exact circumstances regarding the event remain uncertain and are contested. Naturally the scholarly "consensus" needs to be presented. The WP article on Hitler deals with the generalities regarding his death. This article needs to also deal with the subject's controversial nature. Not cigarette smoking. Dr. Dan (talk) 20:52, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |
|||
My main worry here is that there is utterly zero, aught evidence, that Hitler or Braun were alive after the late afternoon of 30 April 1945, however they died and the lead should steadfastly echo this, one way or another. Gwen Gale (talk) 21:13, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |
|||
Gwen, maybe I am missing something.... the lead currently says "Adolf Hitler committed suicide by gunshot on 30 April 1945 in his Führerbunker in Berlin..." Surely that "steadfastly echo's" death on the 30th April. Why is it necessary to pertinently state that he was dead by the afternoon? Farawayman (talk) 21:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |
|||
For starters, the Russian autopsy bore overwhelming evidence he not only shot himself, but bit down on a cyanide capsule. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:02, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |
|||
Slow down, one thing at a time!!!! Above, you insist the lead must "echo" that he was dead by the afternoon of the 30th. Explain? Farawayman (talk) 22:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |
|||
Can you cite any meaningful sources that he was alive after that afternoon? Gwen Gale (talk) 22:28, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |
|||
I removed the Beevor quoted cite; per points stated above; not needed, anyway. With that said, as for hearing the shot, yes, the two you mentioned are on record as having heard it, but Günsche and Linge are on record as NOT hearing anything; although Linge has changed his story on that point. In the famous "The World At War" T.V. series on DVD (originally from the 1970's), Linge stated he heard it; but in his book on page 199, he wrote: "I smelt the gas from a discharged firearm...Hitler had shot himself in the right temple with his 7.65-mm pistol..." As for the evidence of the "Russian autopsy", that bears close scrutiny through the published works. Kierzek (talk) 22:24, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |

Gwen, I am not talking about "original research"; I am talking cross-checking and putting forth what the published reliable sources state; as I refer to above in my reply to Dr. Dan as to editing on Wiki and this article, in particular. Kierzek (talk) 22:38, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |

Gwen, we had a grey, green, yellow, blue and dark blue (whatever) version of the lead in the above section! I agree its not perfect in terms of prose, but its factually correct! I concur, it needs polishing to make it read better, so why not give us your version - That's much more constructive. Farawayman (talk) 23:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC) |

This was further complicated by certain editors constantly preventing information that they objected to being placed in the article, which IMO, somewhat bordered on violating the guideline concerning ownership of a Wikipedia article.

Using “Dr. Dan (talk) 23:13, 12 March 2011 (UTC)” is not really fair, he does not name anyone. And neither he, Kierzek, or Farawayman have been contacted or informed of this post. Gwen, either. |
|||
Unblocking the Wheelman is a moot point, he’s long gone. But we do not see where Gwen has ever apologized to Dr Dan, Kierzek, or Farawayman, either. She was clearly counterproductive to the article, but there has been no sign of accountability. |

This is hardly her first dispute. Does the average admin have this amount of conflict? |

Klara's genealogical relationship to Alois
Klara's grandfather, Johann Nepomuk Hiedler, was her future husband's step-uncle: Either Johann or his brother were likely Alois' biological father.
She never got out of the habit of thinking of Alois as her uncle, even though they were now officially second cousins, and even after they were married she still called him "Uncle".
If Klara's grandfather, Johann, was the father of Alois, Alois was her uncle. If Klara's grandfather's brother was the father or Alois, they were cousins.
(Unsigned post by User:70.249.195.110 23:32, 14 May 2010)
According to author Greg Hallett in Hitler Was A British Agent (2005) Lional Nathan Rothschild was the father of Alois Hitler Sr having seduced and impregnated Maria Anna Schickelgruber. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.23.21.81 (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Correction from 68.89.149.2 17:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- I've added these subheaders to clarify who wrote what (I've spent a lot of time reading the manual of style without finding any information about vertical spacing which would help a whole lot right here)
- If Klara's grandfather, Johann Nepomuk, was the father of Alois, Alois was her uncle.
- If Klara's grandfather's brother, Johann Georg, was the father of Alois, Alois and Klara were first cousins once removed.
- In neither case could they be second cousins.

Wikipedia:Words to avoid
I would guess most death is painful. However, checking Wikipedia:Words to avoid will show that even though Klara Hitler's experience with breast cancer may have been painful, it doesn't need to be in the article.
- Klara's death was particularly painful and prolonged, was witnessed by her two children and given the notability of one of her offspring, encyclopedic. Gwen Gale 02:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be cited then? Brandonrush 14:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yes it should be cited but the information is accurate and verifiable. Meanwhile your addition of the citation request was helpful IMHO. By the bye, I've read it myself in I don't know how many sources, I know it's in Toland. Gwen Gale 02:09, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be cited then? Brandonrush 14:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. Brandonrush 18:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- Only going from my own memory of something I read years ago (which has been jogged further), her breast cancer was treated with direct applications of something called idoform (or a name like that) which was reportedly very painful in itself, which may be why the account in the article makes a notable mention of pain. Gwen Gale 03:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- I would imagine it was painful back then, considering it still would be now. I didn't know the complete story, though. Brandonrush 19:10, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Children
Surely Klara and Alois also had other children than Adolf? At least Paula Hitler should be mentioned. JIP | Talk 20:17, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Name?
Hey, how come this is under the name of "Klara Hitler"? On Eva Brauns page it uses Braun not her married name of Hitler. I think we should use her birth name insted of Hitler. --Frankonno (talk) 20:55, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
- Mainly because Eva Braun is widely and more or less always known in the sources as such, moreover she was only married to him for a day and a half, at the end of her life, which she lived as Eva Braun (Eva Hitler by the way does RD to Eva Braun, where the first line of the article gives her name as Eva Anna Paula Hitler née Braun, which so far as I know is on target). Klara Hitler, likewise, is widely known in the sources (every source I've ever seen) under her married name as such, under which she lived for 18 years and had six children named Hitler.
- I've undon your move, which must be discussed here first and be done only by a consensus of editors. Gwen Gale (talk) 21:11, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

This was further complicated by certain editors constantly preventing information that they objected to being placed in the article, which IMO, somewhat bordered on violating the guideline concerning ownership of a Wikipedia article. Rejecting information that was sourced and then demanding "sources" for information that was objectionable to them. Thankfully things have calmed down a bit. ...

Closing.
Using “Dr. Dan (talk) 23:13, 12 March 2011 (UTC)” is not really fair, he does not name anyone. And neither he, Kierzek, or Farawayman have been contacted or informed of this post. Gwen, either.
Unblocking the Wheelman is a moot point, he’s long gone. But we do not see where Gwen has ever apologized to Dr Dan, Kierzek, or Farawayman, either. She was clearly counterproductive to the article, but there has been no sign of accountability.
This is hardly her first dispute. Does the average admin have this amount of conflict?
Thank you.
P.S. Clearly the above is outside the rules, we expect this account to be rolled up. But while you were ignoring us, another person posted the same kind of crap on our favorite admis’s talk page. And once the numbers change, we will be back. Power to the people, not the elite.Exwheelman5200 (talk) 13:28, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
