German language sock
I saw you blocked Mrfritz2000 and a bunch of others that had been active at Talk:Israel saying that German was an official language. I just blocked Baleteesman and Schamuel345 as obvious ducks. I didn't see any tags, and I don't know if you actually CU'd them, so I figured I'd pop by and let you know they're still at it, and you might want to take a peek for any more.

- oh! I meant to checkuser-block all of those. I did CU-block the new ones today, though. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 00:17, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- I blocked two more today that seemed to have slipped by. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:20, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
Wardell Gray
FYI, the numbers that you (appropriately) removed were reference numbers to the former discography which was largely removed in Sept, 2023, but the references were *not* removed. I have written to the editor about what discography issues they thought were problematic, because a lot of important releases are no longer included. I did reinstate the publication years of the "Further Reading" section.Finney1234 (talk) 01:40, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I knew what they were, but they made no sense in context. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 01:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oh! I hadn't realized what had happened, and my regex eliminated those years while it was doing the other things. Faulty proofreading on my part; thanks for catching it. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 01:29, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Responsibility for the Holocaust
Your edit to "internationalism" from intentionalist is entirely incorrect. The debate is called the intentionalism-functionalism debate. Yes, these words seem odd to non-historians or people without expertise in this subject matter. It centers on the manner in which the Holocaust developed and who was responsible for it. While I realize you're an administrator, I am a subject matter expert, who provided most of the content for this page. Please review the change more carefully, as what you are introducing will only create confusion. Yes, I realize it was wrong in the Summary paragraph, but that likely stemmed from somebody making a similar change to what you did based on their unfamiliarity with the terminology. How it went unnoticed, well...we are only human and busy with other matters. Obenritter (talk) 20:43, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- I think you have this backwards. I was fixing this piece of vandalism. I did step on one of your edits in between; I apologize for that. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 06:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oh -- LOL. It happens. Sorry if there was confusion. Thanks for staying on top of the usual drive-by unregistered user crapola. :) ...--Obenritter (talk) 15:26, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
Shocked!
Shocked, I say, What is this world coming to? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:29, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
