was reverted as the reason you gave was obviously incorrect. As to your ignorant statement, a reference is given which in turn bases on German court records. --Dodo19 (talk) 19:48, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for my "ignorant" statement. Your claim based on a single sentence (...das mit Hilfe von Angehörigen der 20. Waffen-SS Division unter dem Befehl des Kommandeurs der Ausbildungs- und Ersatzeinheiten, Georg Ahlemann, abgeriegelt wurde) from the lone source you provide is simply incorrect. Don't you think the Soviets wouldn't have used this for their propaganda if it were true? The fact remains that after interrogating the surviving witnesses even the Soviet authorities, who did their utmost to demonize the 20. Division, never accused any members of the Estonian Division in any of the crimes committed at the Klooga concentration camp, because they simply weren't present. However, accounts abound of how the Estonian conscripts arrested the German officers who were in charge of the training camp. How could Ahlemann be in two places at the same time, under arrest at the training camp by his own soldiers, and providing security at the concentration camp? What your precious court records (that you probably have not seen with your own eyes) contain is most likely the orders how the liquidation was supposed to have taken place (just a conjecture;).--Vihelik (talk) 22:05, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The Campus Ambassadors are crucial components of the Wikipedia Public Policy Initiative. Volunteers in this position will be in charge of training and supporting the participating professors and students on Wikipedia-related skills, such as how to create new articles, how to add references, how to add images, etc. Campus Ambassadors will also help recruit other people on campus to contribute to Wikipedia articles, for example by setting up Wikipedia-related student groups and by organizing "Welcome to Wikipedia" social events. In general they will become known as Wikipedia experts on the university campus (in your case, on the Indiana University campus). The estimated time commitment for this role is 3 to 5 hours a week, possibly slightly more at the very beginning and very end of the semester. The Wikimedia Foundation will hold a three-day training for all Campus Ambassadors in August, and will continue to stay in contact with and offer full support for the Campus Ambassadors throughout the academic semester.
If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador at Indiana University, I would like to send you the application form. What email address can I send this to? (Feel free to email me this info if you prefer: alin@wikimedia.org).
First of all, Wikipedia is an encíclopedia, all famous Encyclopedias use the Central Europe term. All European Geography society of national scientific academies use the C.E. term too. Therefore the denial of this term is unencyclopedic and unscientific. It is a geographical (scientific) qustion rather than political.
Encyclopedia Britannica
Cambridge Encyclopedia
Columbia Encyclopedia
German Brochaus Encyclopedia
French Larousse and French Encyclopædia Universalis
All of them use the Central Europe term.
United Nations is chiefly a political organisation rather than scientific.
To User 77.111.183.192: You must be confusing me with somebody else in the article discussion page. I never claimed that the term Central Europe shouldn't be used, or that it is unencyclopedic or unscientific, or made any claims about the UN. I simply deleted a map that, along with its definition of Central Europe, was falsely ascribed to the United Nations, when, in fact, it can be traced back to StaGN - an organization that oversees the streamlining of geographical names in German-speaking countries. Please check earlier versions of the article, not only the edit summary which, apparently, can be misleading. By the way, the same map is correctly used in section Mitteleuropa, the German term to illustrate the concept of Central Europe in German tradition. --Vihelik (talk) 15:05, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings! Please excuse this intrusion on your talk page, and allow me to invite you to participate in the newly-formed Wikipedia Contribution Team (WP:CONTRIB for short)! The goal of the team is to attract more and better contributions to the English Wikipedia, as well as to help support the fundraising team in our financial and editing contribution goals. We have lots of stuff to work on, from minor and major page building, to WikiProject outreach, article improvement, donor relations, and more—in fact, part of our mission is to empower team members to make their own projects to support our mission. Some of our projects only take a few minutes to work on, while others can be large, multi-person tasks—whatever your interest level, we're glad to have you.
If this sounds interesting, please visit WP:CONTRIB and sign onto the team. Even if there does not appear to be anything that really speaks out as being work you'd like to do, I'd encourage you to join and follow the project anyway, as the type of work we'll be doing will certainly evolve and change over time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, or ask on the team talk page. Regards, ⇒DanRosenthalWikipedia Contribution Team22:18, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, this is a human edit (not a bot). I'm specifically contacting you as you expressed interest in the Campus Ambassador position, and the Wikipedia Contributions Team has a lot of commonality in working along with the Campus Ambassadors. You can reach me on my talk page, or by email at drosenthal@wikimedia.org with questions; I can't guarantee that I'll be checking back on your talk page often enough to hold a sustained conversation there. Regards, ⇒DanRosenthalWikipedia Contribution Team22:18, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello there. Credible sources are sources. There are Western Europe maps/definitions that include more countries than those in the map, so the "at least". You can change the "at least" if you think it is POV, but I think you should not delete the map based on the sources already provided. Unobjectionable (talk) 20:29, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, my question again: What makes Finland WE, but not Greece? Who decides that? Is your your map based on geography, history, or what? One map in the intro part is enough, and the UN map is clearly better (it is based on defined criteria). You are welcome to add your map elsewhere in the article, provided you define the criteria for the composition (geographic, socio-economic, historic, or whatever). Right now you force the reader to go to the websites you provided in the references. All references you provide are maps of convenience defined for the specific purposes of the organizations that use them.--Vihelik (talk) 20:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The UN map is a map of convenience too. The UN states precisely that. We can find countless sources with a non-UN version of Western Europe, that includes my Western European country, Spain and Italy in WE. Unobjectionable (talk) 20:44, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Map
Thank you for your detailed analysis. I have in my posession a German map showing the same borders. Don't forget, that all the territories of the Brothers of the Sword became part of the Teutonic State. As far as correcting the map, even if you are correct, I can't do it. I'm indefinitely banned from the German related articles. Sorry. Thanks again, Space Cadet (talk) 18:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Vihelik, here is my address: spacecadet123@inorbit.com. Send me yours, I will not abuse it. I have a couple of things, that I want to send to you. I hope you have enough space on your email, because those two items are pretty bulky. Hope to hear from you soon. Space Cadet (talk) 19:17, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
