I have been one of several people who has removed some contributions on Erwin Komenda.
My issues have been not that I disagree with the assertion that Erwin Komenda was more responsible for the designs from Ferdinand Porsche's engineering consultancy pre-1945, and the Porsche car company post-1945, than he has generally been credited for. There's certainly a reasonable case to be made there.
My problems with this have been:
* There is no need for this information to be posted scattershot on every page associated with Porsche * There has been no attempt to fit the text in with the articles - instead it's the same cut and paste text placed in each one * The net effect has been to make Wikipedia's articles on the subjects read as if we're pushing an agenda instead of documenting encyclopedically * Attempts to engage this user in discussion have been utterly and completely ignored. Possibly out of simply not understanding Wikipedia all that well. * Some of the edits have had the effect of (in my opinion) overstating the importance of Komenda and denying the input of others
One might note that I spent a fair amount of effort making Erwin Komenda's article better, improving the wording and grammar.
I must confess a little bit of bias against a user who doesn't create a username and doesn't engage in discussion. In the spirit of Assume Good Faith, I will presume that these have been due to lack of knowledge of the way Wikipedia works.
I am certainly not anti her point; I am against some of the ways she is presenting her case, and would like to work with her to make the articles as fair and accurate as we can.
Should I email her directly, do you think?
