Hitler-fighter articles need help: Erhard Auer & Münchener Post
[edit]Erhard Auer was the Editor in Chief of the Münchener Post, it was shut down by Hitler in March 1933 immediately after he became the Reich Chancellor. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party called the newspaper and its editors "Giftküche" (The Poison Kitchen) and "Münchener Pest ("Munich Pestilence" or "Munich Plague"). Hitler considered the paper one of his most vexing public adversaries, and the paper was the target of libel actions by the Nazi Party. The paper was one of the few early warning voices regarding the dangers posed by the rise of the Nazi Party, although their warnings went largely unheeded at the time. Auer was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp and died 20 March 1945. The first book written on Erhard Auer and the Münchener Post was in 2013, in Brazil. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 19:26, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Reminder: Survey about History on Wikipedia
[edit]Hi Beginning,
I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia. If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8. There are minimal risks involved in this research.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Petros Apostolopoulos, paposto@ncsu.edu Apolo1991 (talk) 15:35, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the invitation, Apolo1991. It was actually really nice to sit down and reflect on why I started contributing to Wikipedia all those years ago! I'd love to read your final paper. Best of luck with it. Beginning (talk)

Leaves
[edit]Thanks for adding to the "Lullaby of the Leaves" article. There's a version by the Jeff Hamilton Trio that I love, but as far as I can tell, nobody has commented about it in the literature, so according to WP:SONGCOVER it cannot be listed. Oh well... Here's a link for your enjoyment. Cheers! Binksternet (talk) 15:19, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
- My pleasure, Binksternet, and thanks for the video link! Great version. And, I'm really glad you commented, because it made me go back to the article and realize I made an error -- so thanks for inadvertently helping me catch it. :) Beginning (talk) 05:07, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Help with Jim Johnsen requests
[edit]Hello! I proposed a few updates on the talk page for Jim Johnsen, Talk:Jim_Johnsen#Proposals For James Johnsen Article, the former president of University of Alaska, addressing balance and neutral point of view issues, as well as poorly sourced edits made by a singular editor. Are you able to take a look at the proposals? I have a personal connection to Dr. Johnsen and I don’t want to violate Wikipedia’s conflict of interest policies. Thank you!92ranger (talk) 19:14, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors
[edit]Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.
We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. NoahTalk 04:25, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
