I'll respond to your query on the Wittgenstein talk page. Banno 12:03, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. If you are the same Kimberley Cornish (your name and edit history suggest so), then I owe you a debt of gratitude, as it was reading your book some years ago (the famous one) that prompted my return to studying philosophy. Drop by my user page anytime. edward (buckner) 11:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For the virtual barnstar - it's the thought that counts. I can't remember off-hand how to attach them either. I think you can find them in the community portal, and you copy the template text, enclosed in double curly brackets and paste it on the user's talk page. I ought to know since I'm a (very inactive) member of the Kindness Campaign. Have a great day. Itsmejudith 07:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the pov tag from the article. People do not seem to be getting the point that the article is about the book and and therfor not subject to wiki policy on neutrality unless it misrepresents the book. I will put that article on my watch list. Albion moonlight 09:02, 23 August 2007 (UTC) And now both tags are gone. Albion moonlight 20:41, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Judging from the edit history I must have forgotten to actually take the cleanup tag off. Anyway I did take it off this time for sure. Thanks for the heads up. Albion moonlight 22:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC) Albion moonlight 22:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. First let me say that if you are who you seem to be, I greatly appreciate all the work you've done on Wittgenstein's early life and I wasn't attempting to degrade or obfuscate that work by changing the caption. I made the change based on evidence I had gathered on the Wittgenstein and Jew of Linz talk pages and articles suggesting that it was by no means certain that the other boy is Wittgenstein. Please tell me if it is not the case that "while the authenticity of the picture and the identification of young Hitler is undisputed, the identification of the other boy with Wittgenstein has been challenged". If it is the case, what's wrong with making that clear on the Wittgenstein page and linking to relevant evidence? Many thanks, --

Michael Rissmann, as you pointed out, is a very credible researcher. Other academics and journalists like Paul Monk, Roz Kaveney, David McKie, and Sean French have all taken turns criticising the assertions in the book, if not the picture in particular. As far as I can tell, no prominent Wittgenstein biographer other than yourself has yet signed on to the assertion. The evidence is interesting to be sure, but it would be wrong to say that Wittgenstein is the other boy in the picture as a matter of settled historical fact on par with the fact of a round Earth or the fact of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. For those reasons, then, I think it's important we keep it tentative. --

Discounting all the other doubts, Michael Rissmann did indeed criticize the use of the photo directly. Also, no other prominent Wittgenstein biographer has signed on to the assertion that the other boy is Wittgenstein. In these circumstances, I don't think it propagates falsehood or implies a false even-handedness to insist that the reference be tentative. --

I have requested temporary semi protection for the Jew of Linz. Perhaps that will get the no name users to the talk page. Albion moonlight (talk) 06:41, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you will need to supply them with evidence by way of diffs. There address is here. I have that noticeboard on my watchlist. I will keep my eye on it and join you there if it becomes necessary. Feel free to contact me any time. Albion moonlight (talk) 05:19, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you will need to support your allegations by internal links to the edits you have accused him or her of making.Otherwise the folks at ANI may ignore you. Albion moonlight (talk) 01:05, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They do need more info.I too am curious. Albion moonlight (talk) 10:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
